Jerry Sandusky will have a long, high-paying career as a mall Santa before Newt Gingrich will ever be elected president of the United States. It looks now like the Republican Party will shoot itself in the foot for the second election in a row.
They gave us Bob Dole in '96, who couldn't win, John McCain, the same, and now Gingrich. If you look up Washington insider in Webster's book, it will show you a picture of Gingrich.
As Republicans, we have always been known for eating our own, and this time will be no different. Mitt Romney will be so beat up at the end by his own party it will be almost impossible for him to beat President Obama, and I for one, don't think the U.S. will survive and be recognized by us with four more years of Obama.

This is truly hysterical! I would say the U.S. could not survive having the Republicans back in charge after what they did to the country under Bush. Are you kidding me? Your boys left the biggest mess since the Great Depression and now fight More..
I do not understand today's GOP.
In order to satisfy the GOP base, You force your candidates to take positions that are
- Extreme
- Flat or regressive Lower tax for rich an higher for poor
- Debt More..
Couldn't agree more until I got to the last sentence. To that I say: GO OBAMA! Great Man! Great values! Great President!!!
