Newt's wife looks so uncomfortable
01-21-2012 , 10:49 PM
listening to newt right now, these people buy the facts that rush and fox tell them, barack has a record to run on and if u dont know it after a billion dollars u will.

for example newt will try this he is a slave to the environmentalists line he just gave here but in a debate and barack might say yes i care about our childrens air and water but we also have drilled more than ever and now get most of our energy from domestic sources for the first time in 2 generations that good for us our children and our national security...and he aint gonna have to read it from a teleprompter

not sure its best to lower expectations u know say dude cant play checkers heck cant even play tic tac toe when tall dark elegant articulate commander in chief bin laden killer harvard law review mr president is standing at the other podium.

like getting ready to play jordan one on one and telling ur fans dude cant even dribble...as he double clutch dunks from the foul line.

I can write you some erotic fan-fiction involving Obama strangling OBL with his bare hands, given the way you romanticize him.

naw fiction is strapin on ur flight suit showing off ur johnson with mission accomplished banners. reality is this

Defense Secretary Robert Gates has told 60 Minutes that President Obama's decision to launch a raid against Osama Bin Laden's compound with ground troops was "one of the most courageous" decisions he has ever seen a president make.

Gates adds ""Frankly, my heart was in my mouth... There was a lot of uncertainty about whether he was there. This was a very risky operation. So, I was very concerned. So was the President... I worked for a lot of these guys and this is one of the most courageous calls -- decisions -- that I think I've ever seen a president make."

Gates cites the uncertainty of the intelligence and the potential consequences if the mission failed as reinforcing his view of Obama's courage in making the call.

reality bites dont it

Reality is that any president in that spot does the same thing (given the same intelligence). I will give the credit to the military where it is due.

Despite a rainy day and tornado warnings, turnout was way up for this. Romney will finish a disappointing second with 27%, but actually garnered more votes than McCain did when he won with 33% in 2008.

How many votes did Herman Cain, I mean Colbert get?
01-21-2012 , 11:15 PM
But where did Herman Cain end up?

That speech of Newt's must be shaking the gop core to its knees right now. His clobbering of Mitt in SC could give him the momentum to continue on, laying waste to the landscape in a few short months.

The story for tomorrow, what will he say on Meet the Press. His last turn was a barrage on Paul Ryan.
01-21-2012 , 11:16 PM
Newt is still like 2% to win the actual nomination right? Like how does he win any state not in his back yard?

ding. Normally a president would find newts debate offer redic, but obama might be game. Newt will not want to have another 3 hour debate after the first one.

Sure has been a suspenseful primary season. It's like waiting for your doctor to diagnose which specific STD you've become infected with.

More votes than Bachmann got in the Iowa caucus and three times as many votes as Perry got in New Hampshire. Also broke 1% which wasn't something Perry could manage in New Hampshire. More votes than the difference between first and third in Iowa. A little over 6,000 votes.

Lol SC. So pretty. So dumb.

They must be assuming the rest of the country has the whole hypocritical gentile southern gentleman thing going on - where what you say and how you say it trumps whatever you actually do behind the scenes.

actually obama said he would go into pakistan and kill this fer and mccain and h clinton called him naive.

and u actually have to want the intelligence and get it to use it, bush he of "i dont know where bin laden is and frankly i dont really care i errr i just dont really think about him" and disbanded the cia unit that was supposed to hunt him down because we needed the resources for iraq. and of course great leadership at tora bora.

fact is dude is dead under obama and lived under bush so i dont know if any prez would do it but i know one who was competent enough to pull it off and one who fin failed miserably at that and every single other fin thing he touched.


but hey u know more about presidential courage then robert gates i guess. how many presidents have u worked under or are u calling him a liar.

His margin was too large to be entirely the result of a regional effect.

But Newt can explain why it is inspite of his presidency, not because of it.

The oil is pumping out of the Dakotas because the drilling was approved before he became president.

When the spill happened in the gulf, Obama shut everything down. Bobby Gindal (La Gov.) told him "your really killing us down here, you gotta let our guys back to work". Obamas' response was "Don't worry they can take unemployment". When a judge ordered that the permitted wells that were operating as per the permit had to be allowed to proceed with production, king Obama said NO. At the time Obama was popular... so he didn't have to follow the law.

The EPA under Obama is in the process of closing down a bunch of wells in Texas because a 4inch, rare lizard might live around the wells.

I could go on for awhile.

Why not just ask people who work in the industry how Obama policies affect their lives? Lets let People who work in oil fields decide who will be preident..K?

Intrade has him at like 26%. Might be an overestimate, but not by a huge amount.
