I'd like to see Newt Gingrich hit in the balls repeatedly with an orange in a tube sock.

Just saying.

So, a Newt/Callista sex video?

Can this theocratic fascist just STFU already?

To do some of the things has Newt has done over the years you'd think he has big brass ones.

On the other hand, this is Newt.

Also this

It's okay. Mitt will probably have some vicious attack ads running against himself from four years ago any day now anyway.

To an absolutist, every compromise is a betrayal.

I don't even think they're clinging to anything in particular. How can you be a nihilist apostate? Except the letter R I guess. Unlike the evil letter D, indicator of all wickedness and despair.

I long for a day when the Republicans, who view themselves as an embattled, marginalized minority, actually ARE an embattled, marginalized minority

Why is he even bothering at this point, doesn't not being on the ballot in VA pretty much shiatcan his chances?

No, the attack part was saying he was from Massachusetts

Even if its true, you just...you just don't say it

Say what you will about the tenets of Reagan conservatism, at least it's an ethos.

Headso: Why is he even bothering at this point, doesn't not being on the ballot in VA pretty much shiatcan his chances?

His chances got shiatcanned 1) by being Newt Gingrich, 2) by the fact that his staff already quit. Even though they came back, you don't recover from that.

It's going to be kinda funny if after all this hype everyone drops out after Iowa. Because, yes, Mitt and RON are the only guys on the ballot in Virginia

If your ideas, policies or political arguments aren't strong enough to stand on their own two feet and convince by their own self-evident truth then you have nothing of value to offer and should be kept the hell away from government.

What are you talking about Walter?

CNN.com has a funny piece on how Newt is lying about how his first divorce went down with court docs to show the actual story.

//Mitt does not need to hit Newt, he takes care of his own damage

So who is Newt going to blame when his campaign finally crashes and burns in early to mid January?

Place your bets now.

Romney is a nonentity in this election. He won't get the nomination.

fark off, Newt.

You can't spell "despair" without "D"!

/Oh wait...

As a progressive, I find Romney's moderate background in a blue state appealing. He would make the kind of president Congressional progressives could work with to accomplish mutually beneficial legislative goals. He's demonstrated he's willing to work with progressives. I would be pleased if Romney won the nomination, because then there would be two sensible candidates running for president next year.

If the Republicans nominate some idiot like Gingrich or RON PAUL I'll just be furious. Nomination of either one would speak loudly and clearly to progressive America: "We are not interested in working with you or compromise. We are interested in having a far right ideologue as president just to stick it to the libs."

Obama is weaker than most people seem to think. Without his teleprompter, he's frankly not that good of a debater. And unless the economy picks up fast, he's going to have to run in a period of high unemployment. Not the best circumstances for an incumbent.

Why do you think he's the candidate the GOP has been trying hardest to marginalize, undermine, and keep from getting the nod? Next to Ron Paul, but those reasons are more obvious.

I see your point. I'm just saying from a neutral perspective, it would probably be better to elect someone willing to compromise than someone who will only dig into to appease the extreme right.

I screen-printed that one just for fun.

//ps the article was about Newt and Romney taking the gloves off, hence my post. It was not related to who I think comes off the short bus first.

Not sure if serious...

Anywho, I think you forget just how much of a lap dog Romney is. He'll say and do anything to win your affections, even if it contradicts what he said not five minutes ago. I do not want a man like that in the highest office in the land.

Obama's home policy is admirable, but he (and his family) has been subject to a lot of bullshiat attempts of scandal from the far right. Birth certificates, race, religion, diet, habits, pets ...you name it and there has been an attempt to scandalize it. We'll not even begin to discuss an absolutely hostile Congress he has had to deal with.

All things considered, Obama has done a fine job. He's had to play it safe because his chance at a second term has always been up in the air. Expect a stronger Obama next term.

And rommney wont do that? The only reason Obama has played it safe was because how vicious the GOP has been. Not because he's trying to appease everyone, although he did try to.

I'm voting for Obama because I hope he will put the balls to the wall and go all out.

That and the current GOP contenders are a joke.

theorellior: The nice thing about Newt Gingrich, even if it looks like he might have a chance to win elected office, he just opens his mouth and those chances go flanging out the window.

I believe the term is "A Bull that brings his own China shop"

Remember when he took on the GOP house caucus without a teleprompter?

You sound concerned.

And he took a shot at President Obama, who in a recent CBS-TV "60 Minutes" interview said he would put his legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in his first two years against any other president except Lyndon Johnson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

"He skipped past [Ronald] Reagan, who liberated Eastern Europe

Newt, with the Ph. D. in history, believes that the Soviet Union dissolved in 1982?

I reckon it'll come down to the convention, or whatever they call it when the primary delegates nominate a candidate. My call is Romney will have a plurality and there will be some very messy negotiations with Newt, Ron Paul, Bachmann and Santorum. Romney will probably be the final candidate, but it'll be messy as hell.

DarwiOdrade: Or will Romney pull a McCain and find someone spectacularly unqualified, but not among the current batch of retards, to be his running mate?

Someone unqualified like Mitt Romney?

OMG!!!!!!

MODERATE????

BURN HIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!
