Can you IMAGINE the hyperbole from these people if Obama was on wife No. 3?

There's hypocrisy on both sides, If you believe there's hypocrisy on only one side, then my friend you have been deceived...

WhoIsWillo: Did Ron Paul just say that SOPA was about online gambling?

Especially funny since it was Obama who recently eased online gambling laws.

Outrageous Muff: WhoIsWillo: Did Ron Paul just say that SOPA was about online gambling?

Ron Paul says a lot of things.

derpy doo!

i hope you step on a rusty nail.

/not really.

Maybe they're trying to save 15% on car insurance.

mc_madness: I'll vote for any Republican candidate they throw out there.

Well, isnt that special

Greta_VanHouten: Call me crazy, but I think the GOP secretly wants Obama to serve a 2nd term.

It's an open secret. All their big gun moderates are sitting out so they can pimp slap the crazies in November.

here's comes frothy!

i shall enjoy watching him lose.

mc_madness: I work hard, make good money and pay higher taxes than most.

I'll vote for any Republican candidate they throw out there.

You sound fat like a small business owner.

jaytkay: eraser8: Newt is Roman Catholic.

Is there such a thing as a non-Roman Catholic?

Yes, there are a number of Eastern Catholic churches. They accept the authority of the Pope but follow separate practices that more closely resemble those of the Orthodox church. In most of them priests can marry. Andy Warhol was a lifelong devout Ruthenian Catholic, oddly enough.

Bucky Katt: Five Tails of Fury: So... basically, South Carolina Republicans have collectively lost their f*cking minds, then?

Good to know.

you can't lose something you never had

With Obama's illegal appointments to the to the NLRB and the upcoming screwing of South Carolinians that want to work at the Boeing plant in Charleston, does anyone actually think Obama has a chance of winning SC anyway? I guess the fact that these people want a job makes them mindless? Anybody that pledges to rebuild the economy will get more votes than Obama in SC.

Mitt and Newt will both say anything they think will get them elected - but while Mitt implements that by flip-flopping whenever he perceives it necessary, Newt carries his drive out by going full Lee Atwater.

This will be an epic trainwreck, a political disaster not seen since Canada's defunct Progressive Conservative party went from a majority government to two seats in Parliament. It may very well split the far right wing.

I'll need more popcorn. This election is Obama's to lose... but the Democratic Party could very well snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, at which point the nukes will be controlled by either an IRC chat bot in a suit or an egomaniacal authoritarian who likes to evoke racial stereotypes and thinks the military should invade another couple countries if it will get him the votes.

Newt's going to address his supporters as soon as they light the candle in Callista's head.

eraser8: Byzantine Catholic Church

As opposed to the simple and Quaker-like Catholic Church?

/ Kidding

Bucky Katt: Rick Perry's endorcement sure paid off!

/isn't 45 minutes after the polls close a little early to call an election? Just askin.

Not really. If you do your pre-election polling right, a lot of precincts are pretty easy to predict (and you do some exit-polling to make sure you are not caught off-guard). Then you only have to worry about the iffy precincts - exit-poll them as heavy as you can, and you are pretty much golden. You also check in with smaller precincts (which often report earlier) - if those are reasonably close to what you have predicted, then calling a race is easy, even before most of the votes are officially counted (and you don't care if the early precincts break against the guy you think will win - all you are looking at is if they are falling out like pre-election polling said they would, and the exit polls said they would. - if they match expectations, then the rest ought to also). The only things you worry about are contests where there is a very close race, or where you exit polling is way out of kilter from your pre-election poll trends. Also, remember, calling a race just means you are saying who will be the winner; your entire concern is simply picking the guy who gets those votes. If he wins by 1 vote or 100K votes, you are still right. So, as long as you feel secure that the guy you announce will win by more votes than the reasonable margin of error, it won't bite you in the ass.

GUYS DID YOU KNOW SANTORUM'S GRANDFATHER WAS A COAL MINER?

Lots of you guys suck at the Catholic question. Orthodox churches are not Catholic. If you're in communion with the Pope, you're Catholic. Eastern Rite Catholic churches just use different forms of the liturgy than Roman Catholics. Most of them are from countries that are traditionally Orthodox or something else, but ended up with a Catholic ruler at some point and decided to pledge allegiance to the Pope in exchange for not being slain and so forth. They got to keep their old styles of saying Mass, which is what makes them distinctive.

/Syriac Catholic services are hauntingly beautiful
//Greek Catholic services take farking forever
///Haven't been to Mass (other than Christmas with the girlfriend's family this year) in five years

MFAWG: bugontherug: I remember after New Hampshire, I posted to the effect that "conservatives have not yet had their say." And everyone was like "Romney's totally gonna win for sure, you're delusional."

For the first time tonight, conservatives had their say in this nomination process. It's clear they don't like the Republican Washington inside liberal elite's hand picked candidate, and prefer an actual conservative instead.

The only thing 'Conservative' about Newt is the racist bile that spews from his pie hole.

That makes gim the PERFECT candidate for the party of angry white men.

Newt is widely credited with engineering the 1994 Republican revolution that caused the Democrats to lose the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years.

he's pulling out the 9/11 card?

holy flying carp.

We've replaced Rick Santorum with Rudy Giuliani. Let's see who notices.

Newt just passed 100k people that want him to be in control of this country.

101,952 40% Newt Gingrich, 67,446 27% Mitt Romney, 55% reporting.

only by the daft.

It's really the Dems fault. We had to have a president with a stupid name like Barak Hussein Obama before it would ever be possible to have a president named Newt Gingrich. So way to go libs.

Strong speech by Santorum.

Shorter Santorum: "We're going to all those states that get the Internet trucked or tubed in."

IronTom: Yay Newt!!!

Maybe we'll get a space program back. Keep going all the way to the White House.

Do you think he s more honest with you than he was with his first two wives, the congressional ethics investigation, or the people to whom he told he did no lobbying whatsoever?

FriarReb98: We're really gonna milk this whole Mayan Apocalypse thing with every weird news flash, aren't we?

MeinRS6: It's really the Dems fault. We had to have a president with a stupid name like Barak Hussein Obama before it would ever be possible to have a president named Newt Gingrich. So way to go libs.

i blame bush.

It's amusing right now to watch this, and I still fully believe that the GOP will come to it's senses and nominate Ronmey.

But dear God, what if they don't? First, we have to go through an absolutely excruciating campaign between Obama and Gingrich. And while there is a snowballs chance in Hell that Gingrich wins, dear God, what if Gingrich wins?

Think about that for a moment. The guy with the means to order nuclear strikes is Newt Gingrich.

That is really, really scary.

Dan Savage is a farking genius. I can't see Santorum's name without giggling like a school girl.

So it must be OK to have multiple wives as long as you're Protestant and Southern?

Someone please stop that Georgian in his tracks before we get another resurgence of the hypocritical televangelists. That, and he will bring back slavery through the janitor's room.

IronTom: Yay Newt!!!

Maybe we'll get a space program back. Keep going all the way to the White House.

I guess the deficit and debt will suddenly stop being priorities five minutes after the "food stamp president" leaves the White House, eh?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he stole that. To hell with Gingrich.

MFAWG: That makes gim the PERFECT candidate for the party of angry white men.

Which, at the time, was known as the heyday of the "angry white male".

It was sad at the time. Now it's comedy. GO, NEWT, GO!!
