Can Newtzilla be Stoped?
Real Celar Politics ^ | January 25, 2012 | Jonah Goldberg

Newtzilla is back.

Six weeks ago, during the last Newt Gingrich surge, I wrote here that “conventional weapons are useless against Newtzilla. . . . Everything bad about Gingrich — the flip-flops, the wives, the ego — is known. Once voters have convinced themselves they can overlook that stuff, it’s hard to change their minds simply by repeating it.”

—Pelosi is bluffing in order to try and scare pubbies from voting for Gingrich. If she really has the goods on Newt she would keep her fat trap shut, let newt become the nominee, and then spring it next october.—

No other explanation makes sense.

Is “stoping” someone even legal?

I was watching Jay Leno last night and he had some little kid come out and give an absolutely ringing endorsement for Newt.

For whatever reason, Romney seems like a creature put on Earth to blend in with the humans and report back what he finds.

HaHaHa :-)

Hmm, I’m not sure this is really the anti-Newt, pro-Mitt article that some are taking it to be.

For whatever reason, Romney seems like a creature put on Earth to blend in with the humans and report back what he finds. He clearly likes earthlings, and they in turn find him pleasant enough, and surprisingly lifelike. Occasionally he finds the right words, but he rarely connects them to the right tone..."

Many pre-eminent scientists of the atomic era were emigres from Hungary. Teller, Szilard, Wigner, Von Neumann, Erdös, etc. It was (and remains) a puzzle as to how so many great scientific minds originated from a small population in a short space of years.

A story circulated among the other scientists that the Hungarian scientists were actually an advanced race of beings from another planet, sent among us to give us the magic of the atom.

These aliens had worked hard at fitting in among the Earthlings; however, they had encountered difficulty in speaking English intelligbly because of their extra-galactic native tongue.

Then the aliens hit upon the solution: Create the legend that they were native Hungarians, since hardly anybody can understand a Hungarian speaking English.

Maybe your cultlike devotion requires the suspension of reality but Romney is hardly beaten despite the popular fantasy.

My, my, struck a nerve I see.

Romney still has to be beaten in new england, the midwest west and southwest.

Romney is going to die a death of a thousand cuts, and South Carolina was the opening slash.

Gingrich has won one race in a state where he should have never trailed in to begin with.

The only poll that counts is the one on election day. Refer to all those polls calling the Reagan/Carter contest "too close to call".

Now go ahead and call me a Romneybot for telling the simple truth.

Nah, you're not devious enough to be a Romneybot, but you get partial credit for being "simple", LOL
