Doesn't he always? He's so arrogant, it's disgusting.

Yes, he is and yes, it is.

Gingrich playing a "victim" of the "elite media" was laughable. Somehow, I have a hard time picturing Newt a victim of anything, other than his own arrogance.

Secondly, why do you assume they're uneducated?

They could simply be brainwashed about the candidates, the result of the media. The other option is that they could be ignorant. One last option is that they may have a different point of view.

Well, i was generalizing, and blanket statements are never accurate entirely ... Of course there are exceptions to every rule, but in general education as it exits today is pretty much training and not true education. It's all about group think and not individual problem solving ... There, another generalization for the books.

By the way, the northwest half of SC is covered by the foot hills of the Appalachian Mountains.





Here is a nice topographical image ...

I was disappointed in Ron Paul, because I like the guy and hoped he'd do better than he did. Santorum just confirmed my opinion of him as an irritating twit. I don't see him hanging around much longer.
Maybe you'd like Ron Paul better if he started singing. He's a man of ideas, that hasn't changed his tune in 25 years - he's just not that entertaining.
I love Newt, besides entertaining, he has every right to defend attacks on his character. I'm sure he was prepared for the question, it just shouldn't have been the lead question of th debate, and the timing of her interview was dirty. A 'he said she said' has no substance, I'd rather hear about real issues to regain prosperity in America.
ps. I am a RP supporter, but that doesn't mean I hate the other candidates, it's about their ideas vs Ron Pauls.

I have seen some of that, but for the most part, he just exudes confidence and competence. He's too big gov't for me, but he is certainly capable of the job he is seeking.
