One reason we tea Party types just can’t warm to Mitt — aside from all the obvious policy and flip-flop-related reasons — is that he really cares about what the New York Times and the rest of the MSM SOBs think. And we despise those people, knowing how much they despise us and everything we believe in; and realize we’d all be a whole lot better off if they’d simply cease to exist. (I have friends who’d like to see certain MSM members strung up on lamp posts up and down Broadway, like the slaves at the end of ‘Sparacus,’ though I’m personally not prepared to go quite that far, (at least not in print). This is the reason that Newt elicits such a frenzied reaction, notwithstanding the obvious liabilities that come with being an essentially crummy human being: he gets it — and, more, seems to genuinely FEEL it — which at this juncture is so emotionally satisfying, it can supersede all else.
