Obama’s Infanticide History
This is a snapshot of Jill Stanek’s running post, following Newt Gingrich’s cheerful reminder to the Marxstream media about The One they religiously protect and his bloodthirsty record in Illinois. To say she is a hands-on expert in this matter is a grim understatement. We encourage you to find the rest at JillStanek.com, to learn how it all went down in Obama’s adopted state, and to inform or remind others – even 5th column journalists. Obama’s support of infanticide takes center stage in Republican presidential debate 2/24, 6:40a: Conservatives are ripping Politico’s Alexander Burns for incorrectly identifying the object of Newt Gingrich’s criticism as Barack Obama’s opposition to a partial birth abortion ban rather than the Born Alive [...]

Those primaries will take place on February 28th. For the past few weeks GOP candidates have been beating each other up, with many wondering if this will play into the hands of the Obama campaign.

Gingrich: Michigan is do-or-die for Romney
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich hinted Sunday that if rival Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney loses the primary election in his home state of Michigan, he should drop out of the race. “If he loses his home state, I don’t see what he says the next morning to his donors to stay in the race,” Mr. Gingrich told “Fox News Sunday.” If Mr. Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, can’t win his home state in a primary election, how can he beat President Obama in Michigan, which typically votes with the Democrats, Mr. Gingrich asked. “For a general election, that’s not a very good sign,” he said. Mr. Gingrich pushed the stakes higher, indicating he also needs to win his home state of Georgia in the primary election. via Gingrich: Michigan is [...]
Gingrich to challenge Florida’s “winner take all” rule, demand proportional award of delegates
He’s got a case, I think. Simple rule: Every state that goes before April 1 is required to award its delegates proportionally. Florida was supposed to go after that date but moved up its primary in defiance of the RNC’s wishes. They were penalized by having half of their 99 delegates taken away — but for some reason, their “winner take all” rule was allowed to remain in effect despite the date change. So Romney ended up with 50 delegates last night while Gingrich got squat. But maybe not for long: The Newt Gingrich campaign is gearing up to challenge the results of the Florida Republican presidential primary based on the Republican National Committee’s own rules which state that no contest can be winner-take-all prior to April 1, 2012… via Gingrich to challenge [...]
