Here's the first few paragraphs of Maureen Dowd's column from last Sunday's NY Times:
"Newt Gingrichs's mind is in love with itself.
It has persuaded itself that it is brilliant when it is merely promiscuous. This is not a serious mind. Gingrich is not, to put it mildly, a systematic thinker.
His mind is a jumble, an amateurish mess lacking impulse control. He plays air guitar with ideas, producing air ideas. He ejaculates concepts, notions and theories that are as inconsistent as his behavior.
He didn't get whiplash being a serial adulterer while impeaching another serial adulterer, a lobbyist for Freddie Mac while attacking Freddie Mac, a self-professed fiscal conservative with a whopping Tiffany's credit line, and an anti-Communist Army brat who supported the Vietnam War but dodged it."
So much more could be added, and is, but that about sums it up.

Pretty much sums it up. And yet he's currently number 1. Says something about the party of family values.
It sure does. But I can't throw stones. It's the way his party actually buys his I'm the smartest guy in the room act when most of what he says is usually factually wrong that's so transparent. They don't care what he's done or if what he says is based on any reality as long as it sounds impressive and attacks Obama and the Democrats. His actual record in the governing arena was incredibly damaging to our nation and helped kick start the gridlock tactic and increasingly more hostile behavior and rhetoric, etc.

Robert, A lot of things will be possible when Obamacare is repealed or ruled unconstitutional.
Are you every embarrassed by your venom? You and certainly Lally are unable to discuss a political or economic concept with out name calling which of course amplifies the weakness of your argument and mind.

Robert, I suspect we Tea Party folks will pick up the pace as the election nears. OWS has big time support from Democrats. I wonder if the support will stick when the unwashed and lawless descend on the Democrat Party convention a la' 1968.

Jon Corzine was a democrat party talent that rose to governorship and to the senate. Even though Corzine was a co sponsor of Sarbanes Oxley that required chief executives sign for the veracity of their financial statements, Corzine testified that he now does not know where customers' money went.
It is good to remember that Biden and Obama named Corzine as their goto guy on the economy. He was also on the short list for Obama's treasury secratary. I suspect he will now spend a lot of time in jail.

You have to be embarrassed that as you spout about the Constitution you delete opposing views. Oops I forgot that liberals have no honor thus are incapable of emabarrassment.
The constitution does not require that it be run at a loss by unions. It is ok to farm out some or all of USPS to FEDx.
Newt ended 40 years of democrat house rule and dragged Clinton kicking an screaming to welfare reform and four years of balance budgets.
