The Inconvenient Truth About Newt

[nyffman]

Hey if they caught that guy in Times Square with the propane tank and the children's alarm clock hooked up to the bag of Scott's Turfbuilder Plus why can't they catch a guy with a nuke?

Frick, there are so many nuke sniffers around that portable toilets at concerts are setting the things off.

So, are you betting your kids lives on this?

With little exception, since at least Viet Nam, they have directed wars on a weak kneed political basis rather than going in,killing people, breaking things and getting out.

That may have something to do with the fact that since World War II we've not actually been attacked so it has been difficult to justify declarations of war. To bypass this pesky problem the boys in Washington came up with all sorts of new phrases for war and tried to differentiate them from being war but declaring these new policies limited in action and scope. That way they can go to war with a nation without having to take the responsibility of actually declaring war.

That may have some merit. You could call it the Barney Fife National Defense Plan.

Think of the children!

Hell yes.

Are you betting your familys' lives that Obama and Panetta are looking out for your best interest?

Unfortunately, we have no choice at this point. We all are.

There is actually a lot of false opposition about Ron Paul's stance on Israel. Ron Paul would not stop Israel from defending its interests in any way it saw fit. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jso ... aul08.html

He pretty much says Israel can do what they want, but he doesn't want to pay for it. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162- ... of-itself/

I agree with this stance

Gingrich: Government Should Allow Terror Attacks To Remind People How Much We Need Them

It's the last part, where he says that he'll let the FBI trample on civil liberties, that I find scary.

But I guess if he loves this ol country so dang much that he has to have affairs, it shouldn't surprise anyone that he plans to do other immoral things as well.

LMAO - you gotta admit that was one of the best excuses ever.

What a **** moron! It's no wonder so few of his colleagues support him running.

Newt Gingrich and the pathetic Republican "Contract with America" are two big reasons I left the Republican party in 1995 and joined the Libertarian Party. It's only because of Ron and Rand Paul, and a very few others, that I'm back.

Just a few of the many polls taken over the last 9 months that show Ron Paul has the BEST chance o beating Obama in the General election.

google "ron paul vs. Obama" and spend some time reading...

Pauls only obstacle is the nomination.....You will see his numbers skyrocket once he gets the nomination.....yes I said gets the nomination....it will be a shocker, but I am predicting that we will go into an "open" convention next summer/fall (many in the mainstream media won't know it is open) and ron Paul will suprise by winning many of the caucus states delegates, even though he may have lost the states straw poll on caucus night.

It all has to do with how he is organized, and how it only takes about 30% of caucus goers ( who are organized and all mutually vote for a predetermined slate of delegates that support Paul) to win the delegates of that state. No other campaign is even remotely as organized as the Paul campaign.

They were half way organized in 2008 in MN, and got 35% of the delegates, with only 10% of caucus goers supporting him. He now has upwards of 18% in many of the caucus states, and we have been organizing for several months now.

Even if the media reports that Iowa is Won by Gingrich or Romney on Jan 3rd 2012....we won't really know who won Iowa untill the National convention. The reports on Cuacus night are simple a "straw vote" taken that night, and in no way reflect the way the states delegates will actually vote at the national convention. Ron Paul will win the majority of delegates in Iowa. Based on past results, and the numbers he has now, it is almost mathematically certain.

So you're saying if Ron Paul gets the nomination, he'll beat Obama in the presidential election?

Ron Paul DOES poll the best of all the GOP candidates against Obama. And yes, I would say that the hard part is getting the GOP nomination, since many of the old guard Republicans it seems would rather lose the election than give Ron Paul a shot at it.

IF RP is the Republican nominee, I'd take any bet anyone wants to make that he'll win the general.
