not all of the media are 'elite'

the rich (the leadership of his own party),

the rich are respected for their hard work and the jobs they can create

the Democrats (educated people),

there are a considerable number of educated conservatives... after all, we need to know what we believe rather than only what we feel..

people who live in big cities (liberals),

plenty of conservatives in the city and liberals in the country too...

and of course, Obama, just as they do...Gingrich and his supporters do not oppose Obama, they resent the fact of his existence...

Actually, what we oppose are his policies that are working to ruin the country whether that is what he intended or not.

I don't think we should judge Newt like we've never sinned. We've all sinned before God. Some of us have committed sins worse than Newt's. To me, Newt's legislative proposals are superior to those of any other candidate. Santorum catches my attention... but I don't see him winning. Romney is like a used car salesman and comes off to me as though he's stiff, fake, and pandering. I'm not saying that the others aren't fake and pandering... they just do a better job hiding it. lol To me... that shows some "presence" that will make them more enfluential on the global scene. Clinton was a pandering, womanizing, liar... yet he was also very good at appearing sincere (often was) and many could feel and see that. That's why so many who disagreed with him still find him a likeable figure.
