This is the basic problem — you don’t give a damn about anything bad about Newt’s record and other people do.
Why not just respect the fact that that’s a legitimate point of disagreement, especially since, as you profess, you don’t care AT ALL — that makes for a pretty wide gap between your approach and the approach of people who do have concerns about Newt’s record.
Why not try to make the case that none of these things should preclude Newt from being President? It’s not really persuasive to just say you don’t give a damn, everybody has warts.
If you want to invest your time researching backgrounds for pedagogical reasons (or whatever) that’s fine. Nothing wrong with that.
But at the end of the day this contest is coming down to a simple question: Romney or Newt? Who’s it going to be? If it isn’t going to be Newt, then it will be Romney. That’s why I say it’s a all a circular firing squad scenario. Conservatives are going to continue screwing around with their impossible dream alternatives and ensure that it ends up being McCain II.
Ok Caniacs... I’ll throw you a bone. There’s still the possibility that you can replace Newt with Cain in the above but that will even more likely result in McCain II.
So when it’s all done, tells us whose warts where worse. In my book, that’s an easy one... Romney’s.
