How the Newt is Like Winston Churchill

Like Churchill resigning as first lord of the Admiralty after the debacle of Gallipoli,
Gingrich resigned as Speaker after the humiliation of the 1998 midterms. Like Churchill spending years in the political wilderness, Gingrich spent years in the wilderness of K Street. Like Gingrich demanding that Barney Frank and Chris Dodd be sent to jail for political profiteering, Churchill favored summary execution for the Axis leaders. Like Gingrich getting $1.8 million for services as a "historian"€ to Freddie Mac, Churchill was on a seven-figure retainer from Goebbels. No, hang on . . . Like Newt on Air Force One, Winston was made to exit King George VI's Gold State Coach from the rear door. No, that's not it . . . -- The Gingrich Gestalt - Mark Steyn - National Review Online

Well, they had in common an excess of nutty ideas.

Third party, anyone?

RedCarolina: "Third party, anyone?"

NO, NO, NO. 1000x.

The most important thing for the continued well-being of the United States of America, and its people, is remove Hussein from the office of Chief executive before he does any further damage.

Ideological purity is not important. Winning is not the most important thing. It is the only thing.

Agreed. Congress can do that today.

Why haven't they? What's stopping them?

The Republican Party began as a third party. The Whigs then ceased to exist, and the Republicans became the first party in six years. By all means elect Romney, but that is not a plan, it is a neutral port in a storm--we hope. This has to stop.

They all sound crazy to me now. Romney has a very dull McCain-esque white-guilt establishment mediocrity about him, Rick Perry simply bombed, Newt is apparently more progressive than Obama and Ron Paul is feeding Michelle Bachmann to the already fiendishly misogynistic and murderous Islamists during his 5 minutes of late-night fame. I hate them all. Bring back Herman Cain or Palin or give me Santorum. Good Lord. Where have the real men gone????

The Democrats don't thirst for death.

They merely sold their souls.

The 'Gritch is stealing Xmas on the strength of his perceived in-your-face attitude. The Base craves
a nominee with FIRE in his belly.

They detest Mitt as a Casper Milquetoast, aisle-crossing, go-along get-along '90s pol...
which he is, btw.
