At least we’ll all be going in knowing we have to keep a really tight leash on Newt. Unlike with GWB, where those of us who truly believed the whole Reagan-conservative mantra were dumbfounded by the Farm Bill, Medicare Part D, the amnesty push, TARP.

Not really but why disabuse you of such a foolish notion.

In the old days FR was a place where most folks would say if his wife cant trust him how can the countryOpen marriage? That is so bad.
I sure wouldn't trust his wife. She has very bad judgement in who to do her plastic surgery.

If God wills to save America, Santorum will be the President.
To: Yaelle
I think highly of Santorum for the way he conducts himself in his personal life, how devoted he is to his faith and his family. I also agree with him on social issues across the board. I will admit, however, that it disappointed me when he accused Gingrich (at about 4:00 in the interview at
http://electad.com/videos/rick-santorum-post-debate-interview-with-sean-hannity-january-16-2012/) of creating an "entitlement program" because in Gingrich's plan "people are entitled to take a certain amount of money that is now paid to the government and to keep it themselves...."
Such a statement, which Santorum justifies by saying we will have to borrow, from China, the difference between what is now paid to the government and what would be paid to the government under the plan, seems a distortion of what in a non-election year we would all just call a tax cut.

"It shows a lot of hypocrisy, though, on the part of the blow-hards who condemned Clinton for his womanizing but are willing to turn a blind eye and deaf ear to Gingrichs sleazy activities."Is that you Dana Perino?
That was a troubled marriage with a very obviously troubled woman.
To: ladyjane
I would not trust her either but she is not running for POTUS.
Newt was ineffective as Speaker while Clinton was being impeached for perjury precisely because Newt was living in a glass house so his “private sex life” helped Clinton skate publicly. Newt threw us overboard there to protect his political hide and he’ll do it again at the drop of a hat.

You just can't help yourself in your sanctimoniousness. Is Newt's womanizing ongoing or well aired and in the past? Are there accusers of rape, sexual assault and the like against him? Has he lied under oath and obstructed justice?
Facts matter. Who's the hypocrite again?

I am with you, I love Rick Perry. I keep telling people who know a lot more than I do about this stuff, that I hope Newt will choose him as VP, but they keep assuring me for a bunch of obtuse reasons that he couldn’t and wouldn’t.
But, Governor Perry is young, and he sure has made a lot of new friends if he goes for it again. He is going to actively campaign on the trail for Newt... and Newt has given him the chairmanship of some sort of project in his campaign, but I don’t know the name.
as far as the grander scale of humility, it takes quite a deal of TRUE humility to bow out for the sake of your country. Perry is a big dog and a fighter, I am sure it hurt to quit..

“Republicans. Gingrich won elections in safe Republican districts in Georgia.”
That’s true today but not back in the ‘70s when Gingrich first ran. At the time, you may recall (or not), we had a Democrat president from Georgia. It was still part of the “Solid [Democrat] South.”

That sounds almost like an order, you probably shouldn’t narrow God’s unlimited options, for unlimited futures, down to supporting Senator Rick Santorum only, in any conversation, about anything.

I thought Perry was embarrassingly ill prepared for the initial debates but I have come to like the guy a lot. Maybe his time will be down the road a bit.

He came across as an idea-free (since he has voted with the RINOs on everything) dweeb in a sweater vest who might be his mothers beloved but sure as heck could never get elected President of the US. And the thing about how his taxes were on his computer and there was nobody at home who could get them to him probably would have made even his mother groan.To me, you should know you've lost the race for ideas when the only thing media has to say about you as a candidate is about your attire (sweater vest).

Yes, but I thought it really humanized him ALOT. And he really irritated ol Willard big time, remember that? And the best of the best: GOT A NAME? That right there was reason enough to vote for him.
To: chessplayer
The guy in the Whitehouse now, had a spiritual advisor who taught that United States should be damned, not blessed, by God. He then went to a church in South Carolina and asked the audience to help him become an instrument of God and join him in creating a Kingdom on Earth.” Have you heard his wife Michelle and the speech she gave at Villanova? Yet here we are talking about of character? LOL..

" Was Bill Clinton ever repentant? Did he confess of his sins or elaborate about his transgressions in anyway? "
Should the same forgiveness that the Newt supporters are giving Newt should also be extended to Bill Clinton or John Edwards ?
Suppose for example there was another GOP candidate running in this race who also had extramarital affairs and repented of it who was Newt's rival ? would that same person get the same treatment as Newt is getting and be forgiven ?
The Newt supporters can't have it both ways, extend their forgiveness to some, but not to others, that's the height of hypocrisy...
The outside would will see this as selective forgiveness.
The problem with the Newt supporters is that they know this is true, but don't have the fortitude to admit it because, well, Newt is THEIR guy in this race.
To the Newt supporters, Winning at all cost is more important than marriage, and the sight of hypocrisy.

" conservative Toomey. "
Yeah, the same Toomey who supported the repeal of the ban in the military of bestiality and sodomy ?
