It pains me to agree with Newton.
Gingrich takes everything personally. I remember how he cried about Clinton making him exit the airplane through the back door.

You Paulites asked for attention and now that you're getting it, you're . Crazy Ron's getting vetted, this is how it goes. You all have had a throbbing hard on for Obama for almost 5 years, to no avail.

P.S. Please keep the Newton jabs coming. This is like killing two birds with one stone.

The difference is, obama is corrupt and is intentionally bring the nation down. Paul is a good American with crazy ideas which would have the same results..!
Both need to be far from the WH if we are to survive.
Good that Paul has NO CHANCE of getting the nomination
Could you spell out what exactly Paul is a complete idiot about?

At the bare minimum he's wrong on on FP. If we go his route we'll literally be getting down on our knees and begging to live there because we don't want to live on our feet.

Imagine a anti-Israel, pro-protectionism, isolationist POV.

While a previous poster tried to say Paul wasn't isolationist, I'd ask them to explain what dealing with people that have openly called for your dissolution is going to do for your country.

You think you're going to pull out of MENA and all the sudden they're going to feel sympathetic to you and your spiraling economy?

No, they're going to be rubbing their hands feverishly as they watch your entire economy collapse because what it was founded on they control.

Your oil needs, your life saving medicines, the fuel that brings food to your grocery stores, your infrastructure, et al.

Only an idiot would give the upper hand to its competitors who wish to see your destruction.

Oh, what? You don't think BRIC and Iran don't want to see you on your knees begging?

Newt is just blowing campaign gas that rubes inhale like a flower. With Newt having a honesty problem it would seem that people would know better. When Newt is alone in the voting both do you really really think he will pull the lever for Obama? or throw his support to a 3rd party that won't win? Newt will do what a lot of so called good {R}s will do hold his nose and pull the lever for Paul.

Imagine a anti-Israel, pro-protectionism, isolationist POV. Who is that candidate? It sure as heck isn't Ron Paul.

While a previous poster tried to say Paul wasn't isolationist, I'd ask them to explain what dealing with people that have openly called for your dissolution is going to do for your country.

You think you're going to pull out of MENA and all the sudden they're going to feel sympathetic to you and your spiraling economy? No, don't be silly.

No, they're going to be rubbing their hands feverishly as they watch your entire economy collapse because what it was founded on they control. Yes, and this will happen in the not too distant future anyway. Your point?

Your oil needs, your life saving medicines, the fuel that brings food to your grocery stores, your infrastructure, et al. Better step up the speed here with drilling and refineries as well as building trade agreements with Canada for same.

Only an idiot would give the upper hand to its competitors who wish to see your destruction. Only an idiot would repeat the same mistakes we forced the Soviet Union to take in Afghanistan. Did we learn nothing about being militarily and economically stretched too thin?

Oh, what? You don't think BRIC and Iran don't want to see you on your knees begging?
Ron Paul never said anything about begging. Now you are just trolling. This country would have been much stronger in the long run had Bush never shifted to "nation building and had Obama not continued with the Bush policies as well as starting his own wars without Congressional approval.

Right. He didn't say he would outright beg but in giving the upperhaand to your competitors you're left with nothing else.

No, not trolling. The nations Bush tried to build are the same ones you'll be trying to garner deals with.

The would've deal with you before and in fact openly took your money and laughed at you because you thought you could trade food for oil.

Why would you trade one staple, food, for oil if oil wasn't another of your staples?

I'm only responding to you because I think you are hopeful but a realistic assessment will leave you with thinking of RP as the idiot grave digger who helped you put the final nails in the coffin.

Lets look at Gingrich reality... infidelity, ethics violations, owned by special interests.... yeah, thats what America needs.

I see though that both brainwashed Demicans and Republicrats though have been indoctrinated to believe that Paul is to be hated though

Nice to see that you like the status quo
