Wince-inducing. I won't have to put up with this every-four-years choice between a calamity and a catastrophe too many cycles longer. But I quake for my offspring, nieces and nephews.
I thought John McCain had the stones to be a hard-*** candidate. He was the one who dropped the f-bomb on Sen. John Cornyn. He had a tough reputation. Then he announced his candidacy and lost his balls. His daughter - idiot that she is - has more guts than he does.
I fear the same thing will happen to Newt. When it comes to handing the dems some attitude - who are we gonna depend on? Milk-toast Mitt? Hardly.
We do need a Newt who can essentially tell the gays to shove it (no pun intended). And if Newt is more Nixonian than McCain?
Good.
