“I guess we all have our notions of what embarrassment means.. to me, it’s listening to Santorum use more of Newt’s lines, more of Newt’s quotes, more of Newt’s ideas in his speeches and presentations than his own, increasingly, everyday.”

Well said!

I cannot even watch Santorum stumbling, sweating and bumbling. That’s what I call embarrassment.

“permanent moon-based colonies within eight years”

You know, every time you post that dribble, I used to take the time and post to you the verifiable, serious links outlining how moon-based colonies are not only a probability in the future, but how NASA, China, Russia, and The Defense Department are seriously developing plans to bring that about, mostly for national security reasons. But you just keep on posting the same stuff you know has been debunked over and over... what is with you Santorum supporters? Or is it simply you've spent too much with your candidate?

Embarrassment means.. it's listening to Santorum use more of Newt's lines,.. more of Newt's quotes,... more of newt's ideas in his speeches and presentations than his own,... increasingly,... everyday. With only other people's ideas to fuel his campaign, Santorum needs to pack it in til he can think for himself and present ideas which are truly his own, not copied, plagiarized or stolen from his mentor.

I'll second that!

Santorum is the 2012 Huckabee and we see where that went.

Santorum makes up for it with his vague repetitious rambling in circles; hoping that he'll sound intelligent.

The Obama strategy.

We added in the rest of the published title for you. Please do not alter titles. Just copy and paste the entire title, especially when it’s short like the title above.

I think Rick is about to enter the "fear and crazy" portion of his campaign soon, at least that's what they called it in Pennsylvania when he'd get that panicky look on his face and start saying the same thing 10 times over before moving onto another subject...

Of course Newt is like Churchill. Bombastic, disliked and not trusted with power by members of his own party — until it became clear that he was the right man for troubled times. He went on to be the “man of the century” for helping to win the war.

Is Newt Like Churchill?
The two have much in common.

Newt is such a great candidate. Wish the voters would figure this out. He is like Churchill, a gloriously flawed leader who is exactly right for the times.

They may yet figure it out...Newt's not done yet. There's more to all this than meets the eye. Until Newt wins or says he's out it's never good to underestimate Newt...for just when people do that he plays his card.

Oh, okay. I’m sorry, I didn’t know. I just thought the semicolon looked a little weird so didn’t put it in. Thanks for doing that for me!

See, this attitude and immature behavior is why we are in this mess since Florida. It never stops. Romney could not have worked this out any better by having the 2 groups of conservatives at each other. How long is this going to last. This plan is a bad one. Now, only thing Newt can do is take delegates since other teams are helping Romney more-so. Newt has to stay in. If he were to leave, Rick will be creamed and no conservatism will even be discussed. You want that fake Romney conservatism being designed as what our party stands for. Newt is going to contest the party, itself! The ones calling Newt names have no idea in that the man has had it with the party. Like Brit Hume said, Romneycare maybe the thing that can stop Romney from winning. The base does not have to accept Mitt. It is our power to stop him. God is giving us this struggle not to hurt us but to help us overall. Please pray for guidance and goodness within, not this stuff we see. We are on the same side. Ask God to help Newt in his path against the media and the party.

Thank you for posting that. I was just going to google for it. What is really interesting about that article, besides the obvious history, is how the times drew from churchill what the era needed him to be. There was not a single whitewash of his flaws, and failures, and yet, the sum of the entire article was a flawed man, who once failed mightily, came to the fore and changed the course of a country in the midst of a terrible peril. Sound like 2012 and Newt? I am going to read it again... thanks again.

We ran off all the candidates early on.

You know that is something people don't see positively about Newt, Santorum or Paul, for that matter. How their supporters are just dug in, and won't let anybody run them off... if Gov Perry's supporters had done that, and prevailed upon him, he might still be here. Or any of the other candidates who opted out early on. As infuriating as it can sometimes be, there is something to be said for the people who dig in and don't desert their candidate, no matter what.

You have derived the Essence of Newt:

Until Newt wins or says he's out it's never good to underestimate Newt...for just when people do that he plays his card.

" I just thought the semicolon looked a little weird so didn't put it in. Thanks for doing that for me!"

From your comment, it sounds as if you still don't understand.

Instead of copying and pasting the complete title, you decided to cut off the title at the semicolon, neglecting to include:

" ; question and answer "

We added the rest of the title for you.

Again, please do not alter titles. It is much simpler for us to pull threads than to fix your mistakes for you.
