As Romney surges in the Republican polls, the Rupert Murdoch manufactured foundations of the Republican base are making a last stand.
Palin: “If I Had To Vote In South Carolina … I’d Vote For Newt”
Palin Compares Gingrich In Debate To “South Carolina’s Own Smokin’ Joe Frazier”
Oh look, somebody’s assistant did a Wikipedia search just before it ironically went all black. Because if there’s one obvious comparator to Newt Gingrich it is a black man who could take a punch and was famous for power from his left.
But for at least another 18 hours FoxNews is almost all-in on Romney not being the nominee. Hard to believe that news network has trouble with any sort of factual reality of any kind.

Restore Our Failure selling point: Willard isn’t one of the crazies. Lather, rinse, repeat until it seems true.
Those Republicans are going straight to Hell for nominating a non-Christian for President.
Good morning all,
Is there any exit left on the highway to hell for the next 5 years ?
Why are these two clowns on FDL? Truly if I want see these freaks, I can just turn on Fox.
Newt has Palin’s endorsement. In a sane world, that would be the kiss of death. Or perhaps Sarah wants to be the next Mrs. Newt. Newt is probably looking, that’s why his blonde harpy is never far from the picture.
Boxturtle (Can’t blame her much, given Newt’s history)
He isn’t one of the crazies, he doesn’t have his batshit badge yet. And it’s not like his ideas are that far from Obama’s, generally speaking.
Boxturtle (besides, with his money, he’d be considered eccentric)
Make no mistake: Willard’s one of the crazies. He’s all in.
In your guts, you know they’re all nuts. All of them. Every last one. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be in the Republican party.
If Mitt is one of the crazies, so is Obama.
Boxturtle (Hmmm…I think I just proved your point)
Anyone who swallows whole the weasely slimy statement by Mitt that he thinks his tax rate is close to 15% … oh, wait. It’s the media. He gave us a number, now we can move on.
Less than zero is closer to 15% than 25% or 35%…. While his people busily scrub this year’s tax return, while the media tell themselves oh, yeah, that’s good enough info, what’s in the returns since the last time he publicly ran?
Harrumph.
0bama’s way to the right of Charles Percy. But he’s not Tea Party. Willard is. That’s been the whole point of Restore Our Failure over the last year.
I like Palin’s call for an extended primary season in order to thoroughly vet the candidates. These people have absolutely ZERO sense of irony.
Good morning pups from Moscow. City jammed with cars, best caviar and smoked salmon in the world, and dare I say it, the most beautiful women in the mnost stylish minks I’ve ever seen. Looks like a fool’s paradise and probably is, but for the moment it’s paradise.
I wonder what Murdoch has against Romney? They both seem to worship at the altar of the almighty dollar. So what’s the major malfunction?
I wondered that, as well. My guess is that Murdoch knows who constitute his “base,” and that’s where Murdoch’s money comes from. So if the wingnuts hate on Mittens, then so does “Sir” Rupert & Jabba the Ailes.
However, the money boyz appear to want Willard to “win,” and my prediction is that it’ll be a cage fight between Zero & LDS Mittens. Pick your poison; don’t think it makes a damn bit of difference who “wins.”
Moscow in January is a helluva lot more fun than Iowa.*g*
