Moderators lazarus Posted May 12, 2011 Moderators Posted May 12, 2011 I had no idea that Newt Gingrich had been married so many times and had had such a challenged past. This 2012 election cycle is going to be wild. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/11...;title=19741976 Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.

Moderators lazarus Posted May 16, 2011 Author Moderators Posted May 16, 2011 Did Newt just kill his chances. Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.

Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted May 16, 2011 Administrators Posted May 16, 2011 I was thinking of perhaps a more colorful, yet more apt expression to describe what he did to his chances... Quote "Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good." "Sinless perfection is such a shallow goal." "I love God only as much as the person I love the least." *Forgiveness is always good news. And that is the gospel truth. (And finally, the ideas expressed above are solely my person views and not that of any organization with which I am associated.)

Most people know Newt is not a true conservative. He is a "moderate" in many issues which is the same as saying a watered down democrat Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It's not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument, or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make, period ... ... Wish more people would realize this. Quotes by Susan Gottesman
Moderators lazarus Posted May 17, 2011 Author Moderators Posted May 17, 2011 There are certainly holes in my understanding of American politics but I had no idea that Newt was so all over the place. Just when I thought politricks was getting boring. Bachmann, Paul, Palin perhaps, and Gingrich all one the same stage during a debate. I would pay money. Oh, I forgot Herman Cain, wow.

Dr. Shane Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Bachmann is just a Congresswoman. Going from the House of Representatives to the White House is a big step. Gingrich has too many people that don't like him. I think he did great as Speaker but wouldn't vote for him as President. Palin is too polarizing. She may run but I doubt she would expect to win the nomination. Simply running will give her a platform and more credibility within the GOP - perhaps even a cabinet seat if the GOP wins. I think a Pawlenty/Cain ticket would give Obama a good run. Of course, many blacks would call Cain a sell-out and Uncle Tom so I don't know how well that would go over. Among non-black voters I think it would go well and the Democrat normally gets 95% of the black vote anyway so the Republicans certainly shouldn't worry about what the blacks will think about their ticket.
