The essence of Newt

[fightingquaker13]

Joe, bear in mind some things,
1- People who learned their "politics" and "history" in college don't know squat about those subjects.
    They know what the leftist teacher wants them to write down at test time.
2- A "political consultant" is some one who needs to know squat about politics, history, or current events,
   They need to know how to get votes.

FQ, have any of the candidates gotten elected ?

Um, well, you see......(you see what I was saying about being insulted by experts Joe ). Actually, I am 2-6, but four of those were Libertarians so it really doesn't count. My batting average is a respectable .500 with major party candidates. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

So, what your saying is that the people you actually claim to agree with are so lame they don't have a snowflakes chance in hell ?
Shouldn't that and the result of your BO vote be enough to make you rethink some of your political opinions ?

Hey, the fact that they won't win doesn't mean they shouldn't run. Just ask Barry Goldwater or for that matter Ronald Reagan (the 1976 version). The Libertarian party is dysfunctional, and it does make me want to tear my hair out. But the very act of putting those ideas out there is a worthwhile thing. Just don't join one of their campaigns thinking you'll get a cabinet post after the election. In normal years I am all in favor of voting third party because they can shift the debate. But this is not a normal year and so I will not check the L box unless the GOP makes me do it.

Good.. I hate running.. It's not in my nature.. Even when I was in the Army.. That's what makes CC so practical for me..
"Too slow to run and too fat to hide. Come and get me"..

With FQ, mauler, TAB, and a couple others,....I have found the perfect comparison regarding the posts they sometimes make:

They are the guitar players, we are Belushi....But we apologize,....and it's never personal.....
