Just how would that work Mr. Internet Tough guy? I'm sure this is close to the way it is.

Given that the first person to threaten violence has lost the argument, who would that be?

Good grief, have you caught the last 48 hours of Republican talk? They've eaten Newt alive!

Wow - it seems one candidate sticks their head up out of the gopher hole, and the rest of the party descends upon itself in a Whack-A-Mole orgy.

I guess the next due up for her week in the public limelight will be Michelle Bachmann, the queen of Iowa Tea Parties.

So ... I'll guess the final, out of the Tampa convention GOP candidates will be Romney as Pres, and Pawlenty as VP.

I'm lovin' it! All that pent up hate has to go somewhere...Republicans may be the only species that actually delight in slaughtering their own.

Newt is the best thing the Republican Party has and the Party are just freaking idiots for throwing away their best political mind.

I'm voting for Ron Paul next year

Prez Obama

Right wingers are and will always hate anyone not like them, but when he wins again next year you might think twice about what "most of the country thinks"

seriously?


GOP Rep. Ron Paul stands by his comments the United States should have told Pakistan that American officials were aware of Osama bin Laden’s whereabouts before conducting the raid that led to his demise, Politico reports.

“Why are we having trouble with the [Pakistani] government, why are we stirring up a civil war in Pakistan? It's because we’ve been bombing it," Paul said on "Fox News Sunday."

Paul, who announced Friday he is running for the GOP presidential nomination, said his opposition to the U.S. mission to kill bin Laden is indicative of his non-interventionist foreign policy.

how much money would our country have saved over the years with this type of foreign policy? I dont agree with it 100% though, we needed to be going after OBL and other terrorists.. but think if Ron Paul's strategy was used for Iraq, we would have saved tons of

I have a feeling that Newt is 1000 times brighter and more understanding of the governments' role than Mr Paul Ryan (R-Wisc). Republicans enjoy shooting themselves in the foot.

Strictly from an organazational aspect, they remind me of how the Dems used to operate. A bunch of factions with narrow agendas who forget to understand they can't advance their agenda without embracing others.

oh, i've always said iraq was a clusterfu_k of epic proportions. hell, we'd probably we done and gone from afganistan had we not gone off on a tangent into iraq.

however, i think ron paul would be an extreme shift. we can't do it all, but we can't do nothing either.

Well, as everyone knows, Newt's campaign for President pretty much self-destructed this week, and is already being called "over" by many.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/0..._n_863660.html

Probably true. Oh, well.

From his disastrous appearance on Meet The Press, to the glittering attack at a book signing, to having to call Rush on the air having to atone, to flip flopping to three positions in 48 hours, to disavowing his own taped words, to blaming David Gregory, Gingrich spent the week being ... Gingrich.

If you missed it, Gingrich's press secretary sent out the most amazing Press Release in the history of presidential candidate press releases. This is it. No, this is not from The Onion, this is the actual Newt Gingrich press release:

The literati sent out their minions to do their bidding. Washington cannot tolerate threats from outsiders who might disrupt their comfortable world. The firefight started when the cowardly sensed weakness. They fired timidly at first, then the sheep not wanting to be dropped from the establishment's cocktail party invite list unloaded their entire clip, firing without taking aim their distortions and falsehoods. Now they are left exposed by their bylines and handles. But surely they had killed him off. This is the way it always worked. A lesser person could not have survived the first few minutes of the onslaught. But out of the billowing smoke and dust of tweets and trivia emerged Gingrich, once again ready to lead those who won't be intimated by the political elite and are ready to take on the challenges America faces.

Of course, the entire world has made fun of this press release in the past 24 hours, but none so well as Stephen Colbert, who had Sir John Lithgow do a dramatic reading of it (below link).

Goodbye, Newt! It's only been a week this time! We know you are supposed to do the Sunday Morning Talk Shows again this weekend. We'll see!
