Bigfoot dressed as a circus clown would have a better chance of beating President Obama than Newt Gingrich.

Newt has already announced his plans if The Messiah won’t debate him.

The man has a plan, has the brains to execute his plan and the experience to see it through to the White House.

Watch Obama do the same thing and refuse to debate Newt.

Unless Newt can beat Obama without debates we are going to have a problem. We will be chasing down Obama who will refuses to stand and debate anything.

Might want to start thinking about slogans to intimidate them.

On average; we kill over 2700 future American citizens every DAY in this country.

Now then; just what kind of ‘leader’ do we DESERVE?

Better to let people think you’re a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

That does not speak to the fact that the Tea Party was a movement to oust the corrupt Washington insiders for whom politics and election was more important than the welfare of America.

Newt falls smack into that description. I am not letting others’ opinions and endorsements replace my own thinking.

What is Romney afraid of?

Someone with a brain and a modicum of principles.

I don’t like either of these guys. But Romney’s fear of single combat shows him up, again, to be cowardly and and mentally vaccuous.

Being superficial and trite - it is important to me that people have a sense of humor.

Cain, Newt and Perry have self-deprecating humor. Bachmann, Santorum and Paul do not.

Romney has the most demonic smirk when he ‘laughs’. It cannot even be called laughter. He seems to have no joie de vivre about anything - just intensity for power. There is a meanness about him when he is challenged and I find it very disturbing.

I would have liked to have seen this debate. Romney is a smooth talker and pretty tenacious. It would have been a great battle of wits. Not surprised Romney ducked it. However, if Gingrich opens some distance in the Next week, Romney may want to reconsider.
