But she said Bachmann likes semi-automatic rifles. “Michele’s favorite gun is the AR-15,” she told TheDC.

Shes so crazy.....

I didnt know much about Newt, besides the fact that hes supposed to be really really smart, but over the last couple days ive heard some very troubling things about the guy. He seems like everything you hate and dont want in a politician......

Newt Gingrich: Selling Access - YouTube

(its a Ron Paul ad, but more a anti-Newt ad then anything)

and this:

Newt Gingrich Can't Beat Barack Obama | Newt Can't Win

The Iowa primary is Jan 10th, and no way do i see Newt's recent rise lasting that long. At this point last year McCain was done and basically out of the race and Rudy G. was the front runner, so who knows whats going to happen. Bachman, Perry, Cain and now Newt have all challenged Romney so maybe the GOP just wants to say "well look we gave everyone else a chance" before picking Romney. Maybe Huntsman and/or Paul will surge and get their time in the spot light too. I could also see Perry re-surging or Cain coming back.

I said a while back that if Romney gets the nod that Paul could end up running on a third party ticket, i think thats even more true now if Newt were to get the pick. If Paul were to win Iowa (very possible) but continues to get dismissed i can really see him running as a 3rd party guy. This is probably the scenario the GOP is most afraid of for multiple reasons.

Then you have Trump throwing a tamper tantrum because people arnt paying attention to him and threatening to run as a third party candidate. Sorry Trump but if you lead the birther movement people arnt going to respect or acknowledge you when you want attention. The guy isnt fit to run anything right now, he needs to just focus on his businesses.

You guys have no fcking prayer in unseating Obama yet you guys are hopeful...how ironic

[mlmpetert]

Unless Trump or Paul end up playing spoiler id be as flabbergasted or even more so then Tiki Barber was after unretiring, if Obama ends up winning. And im not sure what you mean by you guys, but im not a republican, im not registered as one, and I have never once voted for one.

What happens when Ron Paul wins either Iowa or New Hampshire? I know one thing, Fox news gonna be real pissed, probably still will refuse coverage.

Quality of candidates matters...you will see and feel how much it matters the week of Nov 6, 2012.

As far as middle class getting poorer , Dems took control of house /senate in 06 , Preident in 08 .... now we are getting poorer , not much for dems to hang their hats on . It was also Obama / Acorn sueing banks for NOT loaning to people who couldn't afford to pay the loans . Your Dems wrote the rules on housing , ran the GSE's and banks that lead to the problem , just saying .Frank Raines - 25 People to Blame for the Financial Crisis - TIME Barney Frank flees the scene of his fiscal crimes | Washington Times Communities Maxine Waters Caught Lying About Fannie Mae Ties on 'Real Time' | NewsBusters.org Jon Corzine: All The Proof You Need About Obama’s Incompetence And Corruption « Start Thinking Right

I'm middle class and I'm not getting poorer. It helps me when the left thinks like you.

Conservatives killing own cause. Romney is seen by the right extremist as too moderate and not conservative enough. So as a result they've gravitated to Gingrich. Ironically though if they want to beat Obama they need a more moderate candidate like Romney. Even Obama's campaign people are rooting for Gingrich to win, as they've predicted a landslide victory.

People criticize Obama but remember 3 years ago voters had to decide between the inexperienced Obama and the senile McCain who was ticketed with gun nut Sarah Palin. Gingrich isn't as bad a choice as McCain but he's not the type of candidate that can beat Obama.

Good job republicans, go with the more conservative candidate in lieu of the guy with the best chance to actually win the general election.....again.

I mean we can't make this shit up can we?
