You should make that your motto... maybe get the Treasury to put in on our currency.

"Avoid disappointment... AIM LOW!"

I understand why that works for you. And I know you can't figure out why it will never work for me. Your toolbox just doesn't have that wrench.

The Worship.. it is strong with this one.

Delusions he has. Mistaken he is. Sad it is.

Jim, perhaps you should do one including Mitt and Paul:

Select 1,2,3 or Self Zot corresponding to the candidate you support:

1. Newt
2. Perry
3. Santorum
Self-Zot. Romney or Paul

Might save us some time rooting them out

Yes, there is much to be said for overcoming a bad background.

I applaud your achievement.

Really? So why did you post that photo of your “life partner”?

Obama is seeking to spend a billion dollars trashing whoever is the nominee.

Romney fits super rich, fat cat stereotype perfectly. He even made his money off of the “evil” Wall Street. It doesn’t matter how wrong this idea is. It is a narrative that will stick.

Who is best suited to endure the fire storm of media attacks?

We need a candidate that just doesn’t resemble our friends and family — a nice guy who did some good in the Senate. We need someone with thick skin, able to take the heat and give it back. Someone they can’t say is dumb. Someone they can’t say is inexperienced. Someone who isn’t worth 190 million dollars and has four super mansions.

If not Newt, who?

I don’t know, but I am expecting at least one of these guys to drop out after South Carolina or Florida, then I think we grassroots conservatives should coalesce around the leading non-Romney conservative soon after. Gingrich, Perry or Santorum are all infinitely better than Obama, Romney or Paul. And it’s probably the only way we’re going to successfully block Romney and the establishment RINOs

I think we're going to have to move up the timetable. After Florida will be too late. I'm afraid after S Carolina might be too late.

How about after the final poll the end of next week before the primary of 21 January. That puts that primary on a Saturday, but I'm seeing that date from a couple of sources.

The conservative leader of that poll gets annointed the "conservative alternative to Romney."

No, I am not. I have endorsed Newt Gingrich, and I think that he is the last, best hope of defeating Mitt Romney.

GINGRICH 2012!
