Good and bad.  Perry was my favorite candidate until he said "Capital Vulturism" but even then I hoped for a rally.  I am firmly on the anyone but Mitt bandwagon and Newt is the likely alternative.

I've always liked Newt. While I may disagree with some of the choices he's made in life, I know that I am no saint, and live with guilt and regret about some of my choices in life. As I'm sure most of us do. We all do things that we're not proud of. We are after all human, and born sinners. That doesn't make his ideas any less valid. And as far as I can tell the majority of his ideas and positions line up with my own. The left will try to tear him to shreds over his former marriages. But isn't Clinton still the darling of the Dems, and look what he did in the oval orifice. By there own reasoning those actions didn't affect his ability to be President. Newt should be no different.

As for his (perhaps morally questionable) appearance on the couch with Pelosi, and his dealings with Fannie, and Freddie. We live in a capitalist society, and I will never belittle someone for doing what they can to make as much money as possible. Even if it may not be a decision I would have made. As far as I'm concerned, as long as it was legal, and unless it was outrageously immoral, I don't care how you make your millions.

Newt needs the support. Reports are that ABC news is set to air a hit job interview from his ex wife right before the South Carolina Primary this Saturday. The liberals will stop at nothing to train wreck this guy.

If that ain't evidence that Newt scares the hell out of the left, I don't know what is.

One only has to look at the ferocity they went after Palin with. It wasn't because she's good looking.

Shoot that ain't nothing compared to the fear they'll feel when it does little to affect his polling and they realize they don't have the pull they once did.  Either they'll go off the deepend, most likely, or they'll exercise more journalistic practices and stick to the who what and when.

Speaking of the who, who are these environmental groups that keep interferring with our lives?  Like in the Keystone Pipeline?  I would like to have a name to vent my anger on in my prayers.

His name is Hussein, the anti American Muslim who has been trying to train wreck this country for the last 3 years.

That is a given, I want to know the Environmental Groups by name- you know like the NRA gets mentioned anytime some criminal guns down his family as an honor killing.

From what I've read on this debacle, it isn't one group. Hussein didn't like the time frame the Republicans were forcing him into. This was all political. Now the Republicans will not approve raising the debt celieng.....again. So they'll go back and forth.

There was some talk about going through the aquifer in Nebraska, or somewhere. But that could easily have been rerouted. Hussein wants high fuel prices because it causes forced conservation in his mind. He has said as much. The environment was just an excuse.
