During his acceptance speech in 1984 as Democratic nominee for President,
Walter Mondale said: Quote:
While this was meant to show that Mondale would be honest with voters, it was largely interpreted as a campaign pledge to raise taxes. Mondale's loss was catastrophic: winning only District of Columbia and his home state, Minnesota Yesterday during the GOP candidates' debate, Newt Gingrich may have just made the same sort of statement on "llegal immigration" Quote:

Gingrich said in the Republican debate Tuesday night.
"I'm prepared to take the heat for saying let's be humane in enforcing the law." And so it begins.... Associated Press Charles Babington Nov 23, 2011 Gingrich risk: Will the GOP cast its lot with him? Quote:

this tiff is why the fundamentalists of any stripe, religious, political, conservative, etc are an evolutionary dead end. They cannot change with the times. they box themselves in like this--no legal for you, come back 11 years! just ridiculous.

The term is "standing by your principles". What it really means it blindly following a political agenda without question or doubt.
Gingrich has made some comments that would be unacceptable among extremists. For example, he rates Obama A+ for America's foreign policy and accomplishments. He has also stood up for long term illegal immigrants who, as we all should know, are essentially American citizens without all the rights. Both contradict party "principles". Comments like that are too ‘moderate’. Or what extremists call the liberal elite. Can Gingrich ride the same moderate support that gave McCain the domination? BTW, Mondale was right. Reagan did increase taxes. But in a way that permitted a myth of lower taxes to live on today. |
Well I guess Gingrich is going the way of Mondale. Nothing wrong with that I suppose. Better than the lies we have been getting since.

The Democratic National Committee seems to believe that Mitt Romney will be the GOP candidate.
The DNC have started an ad campaign on this assumption. There is a short (40 sec) ad that gives the flavor of the anti-Mitt campaign, and then gives a link to their longer (4 min) ad, below: ETA: Sorry for the edit, my copy/paste went astray And besides all that: The DNC should be careful what they wish for... they may get it. Newt Gingrich is not, by any means, out of the running (yet). The endorsement below is important in the New Hampshire primary. Politico JOSEPH W. MCQUAID - NEW HAMPSHIRE UNION LEADER 11/28/11 New Hampshire Union Leader endorses Gingrich Quote:

Newt is the flavor of the month, I hope.
Got any recipes? |
Oh pith the thought.

Frankly, I am getting tired of reading of Herman Cain's exploits.
Not that I'm jealous, but instead I'm bored. The women keep coming and Cain keeps denying. But anyhow, here's the latest: Christian Science Monitor Amanda Paulson November 28, 2011 Herman Cain has refuted allegations of a 13-year affair with an Atlanta woman, Ginger White. Quote:
A good man is always willing to help out his acquaintances financially. and it ain't wrong if everybody's doing it... Quote:

Still don't care about Cain's issues with women. He isn't fit to lead the country.
His ideas are awful. Thats enough for me. |
Quote:
The man is just not of a high enough calibre, in any way, to lead any country let alone the fucking United States of America. I swear, Merkins, if you lot allow that man to be your president the rest of us are going to be really fucking annoyed. |
