3. I can barely contain my excitement.
Gingrich is the political equivalent of valium and Ambien with shot glass of cheap booze.

10. Actually I AM thrilled. Even if he doesn't get the nomination, he will prove to be entertaining
and help bring out the nutbaggery in the other candidates.:popcorn:

4. The criminal billionaire (5th wealthiest in US) behind Newty-boy.
Wonder if Fox News will be investigating and reporting on this
as they rah-rah for Newt:

http://www.southernstudies.org/2011/03/voices-meet-the-scandal-plagued-billionaire-behind-newt-gingrich.html

"The bond between David Koch and Scott Walker is not the only relationship between a reactionary billionaire and a rightwing politician contaminating the U.S. political scene. Attention also needs to be paid to what's going on between Sheldon Adelson and Newt Gingrich.

Adelson -- the fifth wealthiest person in the United States, with a net worth estimated by Forbes at $23 billion -- has made a major bet on Gingrich. Since 2006 he has contributed $7 million to Gingrich's fundraising entity American Solutions for Winning the Future. Through this 527 vehicle (and a regular political action committee with the same name), Gingrich is raking in loads of cash as he teases the country about whether he plans to run for President while mouthing off with a variety of reckless policy pronouncements.

The American Solutions website has a section labeled Corruption. In January a post there announced a new feature called Corrupt Report that was supposed to monitor news of misbehavior "regardless of political party." Somehow the site has failed to cover the recent disclosure by Adelson's company, Las Vegas Sands, that it is being investigated by both the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Justice Department for possible violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Nevada Gaming Control Board is also said to be looking into the matter."

And the Tea Baggers are still discussing Obama's birth certificate.

The ignorance rolls on...

8. Agreed. If even ONE journalist has the courage to expose the corrupt ties to this traitor
it will be with GREAT pleasure that we will watch him fall
in the disgrace that he deserves.

11. Just in time to miss the first debate.
With any luck, he'll be out before the next debate.

12. I still don't believe he will run. He's making to much money of the gullible
right wing mouth breathing base.

besides, he has as much charisma as a unlanced boil.
