I'd have to find a job for John Bolton, though. I love that guy...maybe some kind of advisor job...


Newt is highly intelligent and even though I have never been a big fan of his, I have enjoyed his entertaining attacks on the media running the debates. He's got way too much baggage though.

Again, you're on target! The cold way he left his 'other wife' for this Catholic guru one, ruined Newt. He probably does have more...and make more political sense than most running...except Sarah. She is extremely Under-estimated! - But she's not runnin' - yet.

Do you have a link showing this connection? If so, I would like to read it.... If not... well enough said.

I bet if it wasn't for so many TV debates, more of the under 10 percenters would have dropped out by now. But why drop out when they can get the free publicity of so many frequent televised debates? Romney and Perry should say "no" to more TV debates after this next one to get some of those people on the stage to drop out from lack of sufficient campaign contributions.
you are so right: what happened to the 11th commandment?

Do you think she is going to run? I am just curious. I think she likes to keep everyone guessing.

That's interesting...the 'timing' of your question! I just this minute tweeted @realDonaldTrump and asked him does he think there is any hope Sarah Palin will run. - I honestly don't have a clue...but I am 'tweeting' her about it, also...so, just have to wait! - Hope she will!

You want to have fewer debates so the country is not subjected to the enormous idiocy and stupidity of these two goons. Jesus Christ, I understand. They are absolutely pathetic, you bet.

I believe the Republican strategy is to shove these creatures down the throat of the American public in hopes that 1) They will think these two are handsome enough to be supported despite their cluelessness and unsuitability for public office and 2) the public does not focus on the very superior President Obama and his continuing efforts to resuscitate the country from the disastrous policies of the Republican party during the Bush years, even while being obstructed by the GOP at every turn.

I say it doesn't matter how many debates these losers have. They haven't a chance in hell of unseating this great President Obama.

Now that is funny. We are not all against the debating. I think they should do more actually.

Is his idea of resuscitating our country to go about more chickenhawking? How many wars does he need to start before you'll quit worshiping him?

Than what are you so worked up about. If you're that confident that Obama can win than let the republicans pick their candidate and see what happens.
