It may very well turn out that Newt sucks less than the other candidates.
You’re right. What folks seem loathe to realize is this: in January 2013 a very flawed person will become President after being voted on by 120 million other very flawed persons.
And our choice may be the difference between an avowed socialist who hates America as it was founded - versus a flawed Newt or a flawed Cain or a flawed Perry or a flawed Romney. In fact, it is almost certainly going to be one of those scenarios.
And FTR, if there were a third party ,it would be just as flawed because, dammit, it would be populated with other flawed human beings.
Its called reality.
