Archbishop Chaput describes such an attitude as mental gymnastics worthy of an Olympic gold medal.
Being from Oklahoma, my vote doesn’t really matter because Oklahoma will go for the Republican candidate. But I think until the time comes to choose between Republican candidate vs. Obama, I’m just going to support Ron Paul.

You apparently would let the mother die,

Pot meet kettle?

If I’m not misrepresenting your viewpoint, then tell me where I’m wrong. You are opposed to Gingrich because of his past sins. You state that if Gingrich got the nomination you would vote for a protest candidate. The protest candidate would help Obama get elected. Obama is the most pro-abortion candidate in history. He fights to keep abortion legal and force states to keep abortion legal or prevent the states from passing laws restricting abortion. The next president will likely choose one or two supreme court justices. Obama would choose justices that force states to keep abortion legal. Gingrich will choose justices who want to let states restrict or even outlaw abortion. You are ok with helping Obama get re-elected and keep abortion legal ]in every state of the union. Because you’re angry at Gingrich’s sins, you are willing to forego the chance to allow states to restrict abortion and decrease the slaughter that takes place ***in every state in the union. *** That seems to be your position when one reduces your wordy posts down to their logical conclusion. Show me where I’m wrong.
** To begin with the Republicans did nothing about abortion when they were in control of the White House and Congress.**
Did you see Monte RCMS’s post? What do you think? Is that “doing nothing about abortion” ?

Before you post any further, would you mind issuing a formal apology for your totally erroneous statement?
 
Liberals once again overplay their hand.

First they hounded Palin in Alaska, causing her to resign. She wrote a book, toured the nation, fought for conservative principles, was a Tea Party favorite and was one of the reasons that the Dems lost control of 20 statehouses.

Then liberal stoked the fires of class warfare and got behind OWS. Now independents associate rape, public masturbation, defecating on police cars, socialism, etc., with the liberal ideology.

Now they have tried to promote Romney while tearing down Bachmann, Perry and Cain. And who is left standing? Newt, the smartest and most savvy of all the candidates. Newt will will go after Obama like no other candidate while making the MSM squirm.

I believe you are just looking at the “surface” as to who is tearing down Bachman, Perry & Cain. If you are referring to the “extreme left” (the rape, socialism comment), yep, you have a point. OWS started with “reasonable” people, mostly independents…when the “fringe freaks” came out of the woodwork, OWS became and is now a big joke. As an independent/moderate, the sickening display of the extreme left is just as sickening as the display of the extreme right, aka Tea Parties and what is left of the Christian Right (who is neither by the way).

Bachmann, never had a chance. I would bet dollars to donuts in a year or 5 from now, her husband will be wrapped up in some kind of homosexual scandal. Because thinking people know, the homosexuality is not a disease from which someone can be cured. SSA is what it is.
Perry, gee where do I begin…well, he just goofed up on his own accord and so it ends for him. :blackeye: Cain, if the allegations against him are true, he too, has goofed up on his own accord.

:okpeople:News Flash! If you are running for public office in the age of high tech, everything you have ever done will sooner or later be made public. Whether it’s as mild as smoking a joint at age 16 under the bleachers or as serious as infidelity (one of my pet peeves), money scams, you will be FOUND OUT. :onpatrol:Buy a clue.🤷

Now, why in the world would the Democrats waste their time with Bachmann, Perry and Cain, when the media and other sources can do it? Doesn’t it strike you odd that Cain was way up there in the polls and Newt was at the bottom with Bachmann? And now all of sudden, Newt is the smiling choir boy? :getholy: I don’t buy, the “conversion” to Catholicism story as the Christian Right (who leaves the Catholics locked out) has proven they are just as much a snake as anyone else in humanity. Look deeper into the downfall of Bachmann, Perry and Cain and you will find that Republicans “eat their own”.:slapfight:

John Edwards wasn’t the only politician tripping the light fantastic while his wife was terminal with cancer.Something I find totally repulsive. :mad: Yet, most of you all could not find a redeeming quality in the man because he is a Democrat. Say it like it is. Going to the voting booth with a double dose of anti-nausea medication cruising through my body is not a way to vote for the “best candidate”.

:whistle:

Sometimes I wish I could have the time back that I took to read some of these posts.
 
Newt’s inevitably going to have to do Leno or “The Daily Show” w/ John Stewart if he wants to reach the younger voters. And I’m guessing there will be a ton of YouTube’able moments when that happens.

Here is an interesting column by George Will on the two frontrunners Romney and Gingrich:

washingtonpost.com/opinions/romney-and-gingrich-from-bad-to-worse/2011/12/02/gIQArsM3LO_story.html

As usual, Will has some witty comments about Gingrich. He describes him as a bull “who carries his own china shop around with him” . Lol.

Also interesting are his comments about Huntsman and his conservatism: "his program is the most conservative"

According to Will, both Romney and Gingrich are “too risky to annoint today.”

refresh me, but isn’t George Will the guy who had lunch with Obama and said he would work out ok?

Really? Do you have a source for his saying Obama would work out ok? I understand that William Kristol and David Brooks were also in attendance at the lunch, among others who weren’t identified. Apparently Rush and Beck couldn’t make it (or weren’t invited). But even if Will lunched with Obama, what about the points he’s making right now in his column? I was hoping for a comment on Will’s points on their own merits, rather than an ad hominem.

So what? Newt owns himself and has as quick a wit as either of these two. He is more than capable of bantering back and forth without either of them painting him into a box. In fact, of all the GOP candidates, he is probably the best for doing these impromptu shows.
 
Gingrich is clever and, as a professor for years, he has developed a gift for gab. Yes, he probably will do well with Leno, Letterman, Stewart, etc. However, does he possess a moral compass? Sorry, but after hearing about his high-priced lobbying, his careless chatter (e. g.,firing janitors and hiring boys), his temperament unfit for the oval office, his ethical issues as House Speaker, his policy flip-flops, his apparent personal emphasis on wealth ($60,000 per speech!), his years as a DC insider, his divorces and remarriages - well, I doubt it. But, God forbid, he could be our next president. What a travesty! I will hold my breath and pray for our beloved USA,

Your over-the-top rhetoric just leads me to dismiss your posts entirely. Oh, and you forgot to bring up his account at Tiffany’s that you usually include… :rolleyes:

Those are exactly the reasons he will never be president. If he runs against Obama, the conversation will not be about policies or ideologies, but rather his personal failings. For example, while he was busy trying to impeach Clinton, he himself was having an extra-marital affair. That is not how you endear yourself to conservative voters.

So, you think the Obama campaign will go after his extra-marital affair and make the whole election about personal failings? That will be an interesting tactic for Democrats.
