Another reason why I don’t want Romney, No More Political Dynasties, be they Kennedys, Bushes, Clintons, or Romneys.

Santorum will not get the Independent votes. It takes a good chunk of Independent votes to win the General.
Vote Gingrich or get Romney = Obama.

To: BagCamAddict
I was a Santorum supporter but I have come around on Newt. After his performance last night, I feel he is the one best suited to take on the Obama mafia and their $1b class warfare campaign that they are only just beginning to ramp up.
All this time, the Obama people have been planning for Romney and they are being thrown into panic mode over a possible Gingrich candidacy.

I think Mitt was shaken in the first half hour when Santorum took him on and wouldn't let go. Strongest performance yet by little rickie. Gingrich dominated with his magisterial command of the issuers. He makes his bashers look like mealy-mouthed, small-minded pecksniffians.
To: Iron Munro
Trouble is, he (Newt) slips off the track and wanders off to the left at distressingly frequent intervals.Ah Bullshit. Some of you peeps just don't dare to risk success.
To: hinckley buzzard
LOL!
Yes, I think Santorum dinged him but good, and then Perry and Gingrich added to his misery, and then the booing probably put Mittens in a tailspin. At least it surely looked that way from this end. :^D
He looked like a wet cat, wondering what the heck just happened. Hahahahahaha! Man, that was good TV.

Nice try but your history is totally f*ed up. Nixon and Kennedy crossed swords on the proposal that the offshore islands of Qemoy and Matsu were defensible if Red China tried to take them over. Kennedy said they were not defensible. Nixon said they were. but Vietnam was never mentioned in the 1960 election.
To: xzins
You are right. Paul is throwing out boob bait for idiots.
To: rodeo-mamma
You have lots of questions. I have question for you. Who really gives a f*? Nobody important. The fate of this nation is in the balance and you're pissing your pants over who his wife is. Gimme a break. Do the world a favor and when election day comes, just stay in and do your f*ing nails, OK?
To: hinckley buzzard
No, Nixon didn’t discuss Vietnam during the presidential debates, but that isn’t what I said. I said he was on record, that he had a position, that he shared is position, and everyone knew it.
I’ve heard Henry Kissinger say Nixon never thought Vietnam was a winnable scenario, even when he was VP. When Nixon took office in 1969, he still didn’t think it was winnable. What Nixon would have done in 1969, if he could have, would have been to just pull out, because he viewed the Vietnam war as a roadblock to his higher goal: detente with the Russians and Chinese. But, that would have been political suicide. His “peace with honor” was never really successful, but his goal was to somehow get out, not win the war (because he never thought it could be won).
Nixon would not have sent troops into Vietnam had he won the 1960 election. Of that I’m certain. If you’d do a little more digging into the Nixon of the 1950s and 1960s, you’d be certain of it also.
Qemoy and Matsu are near Taiwan. They don’t really have a place in a discussion on Vietnam.

You're right. Romney's millions makes for a perfect OWS / Obama target. This is why they keep knocking out everyone but Romney. The disproportionate attacks on Cain made it obvious. If Cain was such a non-issue, they would have ignored him the way they ignored Huntsman, Bachmann, and Paul. But instead, they were terrified of Cain because he was “a real Black man” who was energizing people, and he had the potential to dismantle the Dem stranglehold on the Black vote. Once Cain was out, they moved on to knocking out the next strongest candidate: Gingrich.
They broadcast their fears by attacking. They fear Gingrich, and rightfully so. He's the Pit Bull this country needs right now.
(BTW, my post wasn't directed “to” you, I was looping you in because the other poster had disagreed with you, saying that Santorum was also a viable candidate.)

If Newt is elected President, the First Lady will be his former mistress.
I must confess, and I'm absolutely certain about this...I fail to see anger in Newt Gingrich. People talk about this anger, and I just don't see it.
Are you talking about the way he speaks with conviction? Is that what people are taking to be anger? I am truly confused on this one. Most of time I see him smiling, affable, collegial, and instructional. Then he pivots in those moments of insight and says something with great conviction. But Anger? I've not seen it.
Now, about the marriage with the woman who was his former mistress.
How many American's do you suppose have someone in their family who has been divorced among their brothers, sisters, parents, or cousins? It suggests to me that the entire institution of marriage has been sold as a "they will make you fulfilled physically and emotionally the rest of your life" kind of relationship.
Then they discover that isn't true and that the marriage they've entered should not have been.
That is why the Catholic church granted Gingrich an annulment of especially that first marriage: it shouldn't have been in the first place.
Now answer this: would you have doubts about the marriage if your 16 year old daughter was in an illegal sexual relationship with her 24 year old teacher? They hid it, hid it, and when she came of age, they married.
In your mind, would that be a relationship made in heaven, or if you found out, would you turn that teacher in to the authorities?

Romney has way too many “home states”. Michigan, Mass, NH, Utah.
I wish he would move to the state in Mexico that he his daddy was born in.
