“It’s a measure of ‘maturity’, not politics. The losing team’s coach, even in Little League, congratulates the winning team on their victory. Most children learn this princple - it appears that this childhood lesson was missed by Newt.”
I’m sure Churchill also sent a nice letter of congratulation to Hitler after Dunkirk?
This isnt some peewee baseball game. Newt doesn’t owe that dumb bastard the time of day.
If acting 'Civil' in a political run-off is beyond Newt's capability; if his precious ego can't handle a loss at this stage - how do you suppose he will behave if he gets a Democratic Congress to work with?
Now, I really hate to defend Romney (I honestly don't know how he feels about Canniblism; he's changed his mind 2 or more times on every other conservative principle). But, when Romney lost the nomination to Juan McCain, you never saw him behave like a spoiled little boy. He was mature, he offered his hand and publically congratulated Juan on a tough campaign; then threw his weight behind McCain.
I've seen the stuff that Newt is made of; and frankly, it's about the same level as what Obama has to offer. We will trade one narcistic, elitist man-child for another.
