During the course of the race for the Republican presidential nomination we have witnessed a series of implosions within the campaigns of the various front runners. First it was Michele Bachman who very briefly rode the crest of the wave coming out of her narrow margin of victory in the Ames, Iowa straw poll. Next, Texas Governor Rick Perry briefly enjoyed front runner status until his substandard debate performances caused him to falter. The rise of Herman Cain followed his decisive victory in the Florida straw poll. It wasn’t long, however, before the revelation of his history of sexual pecadillos brought the black former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza tumbling down from his lofty but short-lived perch. And now…it’s Newt Gingrich who has moved to the head of the pack as the supposed conservative alternative to Mitt Romney. In the estimation of his proponents Gingrich has sufficient intellect as well as the pragmatic capabilities to rival the power of Obama’s incumbency coupled with the erroneous perception that he is of notable cerebral giftedness. In reality, Gingrich is the consumate insider who, according to the highly influential Glen Beck, is nothing more that a progressive…almost indistinguishable from Barak Obama. Additionally, Gingrich has the serious baggage of his history of extramarital affairs as well as his lavishly compensated influence peddling activities on behalf of the likes of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Indeed…it would seem to only be a matter of time before Gingrich’s pronounced warts and blemishes become impossible to ignore and overlook. Don Imus may have been somewhat blunt and excessive in describing Gingrich as a disgusting pig…but his opinion probably isn’t too far beyond the sentiments of a great many Americans…including many of those those who classify themselves as Republicans.
When the seemingly inevitable downfall of Newt occurs only one individual will remain viable as an alternative to Romney and that would be none other than Ron Paul, the man who should have been the shoo-in for the nomination to begin with! Indeed, the integrity laden Paul appears to be poised to win the upcoming Iowa caucus and if such a development occurs we could be in for some exceedingly fascinating developments. For starters, the canard that he is “unelectable” will begin to unravel as his potentially unstoppable momentum rapidly increases. At some point, the journalistic thugs and propaganda point men of the republicrat globalist military industrial combine will begin to look precisely like the dastardly wretches they are…and their continued relentless assault upon a man so vastly their intellectual and moral superior will begin to overtly backfire in their faces. When all the dust settles upon this unfolding political drama Ron Paul may well be the last man standing!
**Special Update** As predicted in this article, the political fortunes of Newt Gingrich have largely dissipated and now Rick Santorum has been catapulted into the limelight. Like all the others, the former Pennsylvania senator has notable baggage and potential weaknesses. He too, in short order, should fizzle thus clearing the path for a timely surge to the forefront of Ron Paul as the only viable and logical alternative to the utterly unacceptable Mitt Romney. Stay tuned for additional developments.
