>> ridiculous accusations of being a Romneybot <<
Oh, c’mon! It’s a lot more fun to engage in “ridiculous” name-calling than it is to do something mentally challenging — like (as you suggested in a previous comment) reading the article that started this thread!
So let’s not deprive the Newt-worshippers of their fun and their temporary ecstasy. Their rhetoric-induced state of intoxicatory bliss will soon fade into the deep recesses of memory — once the Newtster manages inevitably to shoot himself in the foot two or three more times.
Ironically, those of us who truly accept the depth of the negatives about Newt will be more likely to try to (however grudgingly) salvage something out of his administration anyway, even if Bad Newt shows up.
Those new best friends of his who have convinced themselves he’s Ronald Reagan II may be the first to react in shock and horror, shouting that he’s a RINO and “why do we always let the media and the GOP elites pick our candidates for us??”
All that said, I hope I’m wrong and that Gingrich, if elected, governs as a steady conservative, regardless of how he gets there.
P.S. On a funny note, if you’ve read through the thread, you might have seen a post of mine that directly refuted an argument made by Unnamed Freeper. Whenever that happens, instead of engaging the argument or simply saying “regardless, I’m sticking to my version of reality,” Unnamed Freeper starts in how she can’t be bothered with me and my ilk, she’s moving on because she doesn’t have time for this, etc. Hilarious! Oh, and she usually calls me “low class” for some reason as well, which . . . FACEPALM. Guess she forgot that part of her schtick tonight, though. But, really, what kind of pseudo-elite-class-warfare insult is that anyway, “low class”? I tell you, I’m glad I have a sense of humor!
