Well, maybe it's time to start learning to?
I wish one of them would talk about 2nd amendment rights other than hunting. That’s their big ploy now, guns are only for hunters.
Notice they didn’t go to Perry on the gun issue.
“Details, please”

Well, they are important - I wouldn't vote for Newt to become the new pastor of my church.
But for the Presidency, well, I think the expectation that anyone in politics long enough to have a credible shot at the Presidency is going to have a pearly white past is asking a bit too much.
If Newt was reliably like this every day he would be the man.
Trouble is, he slips off the track and wanders off to the left at distressingly frequent intervals.
Lots of good excerpts to use to tweet & post article everywhere.
~~”A Mitt debate performance like last night with Obama, gives Obama another 4”. Mitt showed what a weak candidate he is.

Leader one was a vegetarian, decorated war hero, drinks only an occasional beer, does not smoke and has never had an extra martial affair and is physically fit.
Leader two has been voted out of office twice, sleeps until noon, a notorious womanizer as a young man,a mediocre student, alcoholic and obese.
Answer: I would suggest you vote for Leader two. He is Winston Churchill. Leader one is Adolf Hitler.
The point is Newts past transgressions in his personal life are of little importance. I can vote for Newt without any qualms.
I completely agree with your comments regarding LRon. I am biased, since I think he's a loon anyway, but last night he was especially creepy (looks, laughs (hehehe), facial expressions, etc.), as you described. How on earth he gets double digits in South Carolina (?!) I will never know.
THAT is what the Tea Party is all about.......now, stick with this theme and win the Nomination so we have the FACTS on the table.
Isn't this exactly what is supposed to happen in a representative republic?
Now, I believe Newt is the best candidate we have, and I support him, but accusations that Romney changes his positions to reflect the will of the people is not the way to defeat him. Romneycare and his liberal record are they keys to his defeat.
Thank you.
Just as Newt b*tch-slapped Romney, Juan Williams and Ricardo Santorum, he will b*tch-slap Obama.
We need a “Newt, you magnificent bastard!” photoshop pic.
If you find you can't like him, start hating Romney. 47th in job creation as governor, architect of Obama Care, assault weapons ban, tax hikes, abortion votes, and homo marriage. I guarantee you what's coming after we crown Romney, we will start hearing about him raiding pension funds and sticking the taxpayer with the tab in these "capitalistic takeovers".
Someone please ask how you pay $30 mill for a bankrupt company and walk out with $180 million? It's not the land and buildings and equipment. It's the pension funds. The taxpayer has been hit with hundreds of these "deals" to make the pensions whole on bankrupt companies.
Would it look bad to condemn gov bail outs and then find out Romney was 1st in line at the trough?
If we put Romney in, I am absolutely sure there will be an "October Surprise". Newt has already been vetted. I don't think a proctologist could find any more dirt. That was the beauty of Sarah Palin. We even read her personal email and found nothing. People just "didn't like her."
Kennedy beat Nixon, because he was more likable, not because people thought he would make a better president.
Nixon had been on record that we should not send large numbers of troops into SE Asia, as our experience would be no different than the France’s (which had spent 15 years after WWII fighting and getting bogged down in Vietnam and then finally just abandoned it). This was also Ike’s position, which he informed Kennedy of during their transition meetings.
Kennedy’s position was that we could do a better job than the French had, so he started sending troops into Vietnam. Lyndon Johnson (who never would have been president in the first place, but for being the likable JFK’s VP) escalated it into a full fledged war. Again, believing we could succeed where the French had failed.
Nixon had been right. Our experience in the Vietnam was the same as the French experience after WWII. We got bogged down in a decade long war we had no chance of winning, and then finally just pulled out and abandoned it.
I’m sure the families of the 50,000 men killed in Vietnam (as well as all those wounded) as so thankful we elected the likable John Kennedy, instead of that grumpy old Richard Nixon (who would have never sent troops into Vietnam to begin with).
I just watched the TODAY show, and Karl Rove had the gall to say that Newt “cleverly planted” Juan Williams. WTH??? I’m officially done with having Mitt Romney shoved down my throat, and I will NOT vote for him. Not for any reason...
