OK, after determining that, in fact, this story is not from The Onion, I proceeded to ...



That said, a ticket of Fetus Cuddler-Moon Annexer would've been hilarious! The only question is: how many more states would the GOP have lost had it happened?

PS -- Does anyone else think it is incredibly weird that Rick Santorum's wife spent her 20s shacked up with a doctor... the doctor than delivered her as a baby, over 20 years earlier (and who performed abortions in his spare time)?

first of all, has anyone ever told you it isn't a good idea to believe everything you read and second, true or false (most likely false or over exagerated) the election is gone, nada, over; what other words can we think of? It has to be put behind us and let's move on. This would be almost like saying, Well back in the days of the civil war, it wasn't so and sos fault the war was lost by the south and Booth didn't really kill Lincoln. It is over...

Oh, I am sorry, only nmnita can bring up topics that are deemed appropriate? Its a PUBLIC forum..besides it sounds plausible. Last time I checked, this was a POLITICAL forum, and I thought it was an interesting article. Your analogy to the civil war was ignorant and irrelevant.

Everyone on here knows you are a die hard Republican, so if the tables were turned, you would have no problem if the article was about two Dems, so please, spare me the faux indignation.

So why are you still talking about the election on other current threads?

That is why we hold elections, but more blacks did vote for Obama than normally vote Democrat...
And here you are commenting on a post discussing election results when Gore was the candidate:

I am speaking for myself, not others on here. And btw, 3 to 7 point difference is the difference in the outcome in case you didn't know. or it can be the difference, depending on where the 3 to 7% comes from..
Just hypocrisy?

Did I say or even indicate the subject was inappropriate? Of course I didn't. I said the election is over, let's get on with the future, not the past..Now, if I did say it was inappropriate or even indicated that please let me know where you read it. BTW I am a die hard Republican but would I have a problem if the tables were turned? You darn well better believe I would. That is why I am always saying : get over the birther thing. It really makes no difference and I say the same when people bring up the Muslim issue. When something has run its course, it has and there is no reason to dwell on it.

So starting thread, but not participating in threads is the line? Nice rationalization.

I agree with this statement but the story really isn't much of one. Gingrich is the type that believes he would have done better even if the actual outcome could be proven and it showed his actual support would have been 15%.

Gingrich is not a valid presidential candidate.
