“Depressingly so. Even worse, after they have been presented with proof that refutes many of the lies, they continue to post the lies...which shows a dishonesty that is disheartening in FR. “

Amen. I can’t see why they keep at it. They bolster the point being made; we need someone who can win and candidates with people who are so depressingly weak of reason can not possibly win.

It’s a far cry from a down to earth populist like SP, for whom I would have cheerfully voted, to the 5-6 that have become the new flavor of the week.

I don’t think you need to be the smartest one in the room to be President - although it might not hurt - but you need to at least be able to attract a following who will ask you whether or not you’ll believe them or your own lying eyes.

I just don’t see anyone who can hold Newt’s coat in this present field. The debate this afternoon was another masterful instruction on how to shine more brightly than the others without once using “I” or “me” or doing other than stating some simple truths about his accomplishments.

Which are, lest we forget, enormous.

I don't know about that, Mitt Romney has done well, in fact, in a debate with Obama, I think Romney could even out liberal him, lol.

Actually I shouldn't have put that "lol" there, I honestly am a bit frightened by the fact that Romney, on certain issues, does a better job, explaining, articulating, defending and supporting the lefty point of view then Obama does. Thats scary, thats very scary.

Regardless of who wins, one thing is certain, Romney can not be the nominee, the difference between him and Obama is not ideology, its competence. That said, I think Newt is the best thinker and debater on the stage, and in a debate, he'd destroy Obama.
