What's so special about a former conservative governor of Utah? You realize the whole "civility" thing was a gimmick, right? He hired McCain's 2000 campaign team and was re-running his "maverick" campaign.
Seems to be concentrating on conservative issues and not religious ones. Seems right up my boat.
How's that different from Romney? He's being attacked for focusing on economic issues to the exclusion of social ones...
Which is why I'd vote for him.
This explains a lot about your thread regarding luck, human behavior, and "controlling" both.Quote:

Cause the GOP is a unified block...trust me Newty does NOT tickle me, but I'd rather have him than Social Suckup SantorumQuote:

Newt motherfucking gingrich
Makes me want to draw my head into a shell for the next 4 years. Newt motherfucking-I-Can't-Keep-A-Wife Gingrich. :(
Getting divorced is nothing to be criticised for.
Leaving your wife suffering from cancer for your mistress while impeaching a President for infidelity is.
He left another wife because she got multiple sclerosis. For all their talk of emphasizing morality, it seems that Christian fundies just want someone who says nasty things about Obama. If they were really concerned about social issues, they'd vote Santorum.
Those campaign ads just write themselves, don't they?
I don't despise him for his divorces per se, but rather the circumstances behind them. Its doubly a shame, because I liked some of his fiction books. :(Quote:

I just don't understand the people who actually believe Gingrich is more electable. :bored:

The last one seems to confirm what we already know. The Republicans would probably win if they were capable of fielding a half-decent candidate.

Looks like the last debate and the unceasing attacks on Gingrich are having some effects on his numbers. Latest poll puts him and Romney at a statistical tie in Florida, down from a ~8% lead.
That and the post-victory bump from South Carolina has played out.Quote:

This is pretty much a general thread now, right?
Santorum was glitter bombed by Occupy Tampa protestors.
I didn't even know those guys were still around, thought the frost we had a few weeks ago chased them back home. But damn, can't help but laugh, I hope glitter bombs become a thing.
Also got a good chuckle out of Castro's "idiocy and ignorance" remark. Broken clock being right twice a day and whatnot.
I lol'd. No pictures? :(

Romney back to an 8-point lead.
Not of this one, but this does seem to be a thing, as its happened to him at previous stops :haha:Quote:

Would the guffawing continue if it was Big O getting all sparkly or is the humor only in giving the Twilight Treatment to Republicans?Quote:

Why do I feel like you're trolling considering I've displaying a firmer grasp of the fabulous concept behind this than you are :bulb: Did you show this level of ignorance with the Bush shoe throwing? Curious how protest action like this would play with someone you agree with. Sure there is glitter everywhere when you're sitting through something like Hamburger Mary's, but that seems more like the root instead of the shame when you're looking at intention.Quote:

What's the analogue for the class warfare? Rich people throwing money at poor people?Quote:

Aw, no one wanted to make fun of Gingrich for his moon lunacy. :( His grandiose ego has a way of erupting, and he just can't help it, like it did for Florida's "space coast" audience. By the end of [his] second term, there will be a permanent space station on the moon....and it will be American!
WTF? He can't even address our earthly immigration problems, but he's already promising US citizenship for lunar 'farmers', and making the moon our 51st state? :haha: :eek:
