Oh, nice try. Not really.

Small minds are consumed with people. Big minds are consumed by ideas. You are consumed by the Santorum cult souveniers, like the sweater vest. Others were consumed by the family image, other little irrelevant niceties, etc. Fine.
Knock yourself out.

The only thing about Newt that was ever interesting where his ideas. That was the major difference between Santorum backers and Newt backers. Half were idea people, the other half wore half sweaters.

"The only thing about Newt that was ever interesting where his ideas."

Like the, "pathway to non-deportation"?

Like, "Few challenges are as urgent as global climate change"?

Like passing the Lautenburg Amendment in the "Gun Free Schools Act"?

Yes, they are "interesting" ideas in much the same way a train wreck is, "interesting."

As an aside...you wrote, "Small minds are consumed with people. Big minds are consumed by ideas. You are consumed by the Santorum cult souveniers, like the sweater vest."

You presume way too much, and clearly display your ignorance when you aver that I'm consumed by cult souveniers. You don't even know me, and my only point in bringing it up here is in the context of pols who deliver on their promises. You are the one who started with the childish snarky comment, so I would submit that you are the one who is consumed by the notion. That a person remarking on receipt of a fund raising incentive would elicit such a visceral response which really contributes nothing to the discussion says far more about you than my sweater vest says about me.
