Romneybot on the television now.

 

[TxdoHawk]

My career dreams of being a moon colony janitor, crushed!

 

[Iceman]

Where are all the Newt hypers now ?

Told you Georgia was nuttin

Present. You shouldn't vote be voting for the guy you think is the nicest. The POTUS should put country before anything else. He won't make friends but reaching across the aisle/compromises is a necessary part of governing the country - and he knows this. Speaker of the House, and second in line behind the vice-president for the throne. Qualifications and experience galore. The right man for the times.

Again, our number one problem is our own economy and that means gutting and restructuring federal programs AND spurring domestic growth and tipping the trade imbalance back in the right direction. It'd be great if we had an amalgam of Newt and Mit (a Wii platformer?), but if we have to have one, then let it be the guy who's been there before and won't waste his/our time spinning his wheels trying to figure out how to push for economic reform and get around the many obstacles that congress will inevitably throw in the way.

Apparently this election is about the soul of the nation.

 

[Big Baybee]

Romney says he will balance the budget without raising taxes.

 

[Kusagari]

Why? It's full of rednecks besides Gainesville.

The College Republicans waving Romney signs today probably clouded my mind lulz.

 

[Brinbe]

Romney says he will balance the budget without raising taxes.

Huge cuts to tons of government agencies/services

 

[Evlar]

Okaloosa to Romney - That's the military vote.

 

[Ravensmash]

...Does Romney just say the same stuff every week or something?

And does he have to start every sentence with "President Obama....[fails/did]" ?

 

[MisterHero]

Maybe he can merge NASA with an Air Force so powerful that only he could make happen

Military Moon Base is back on!

 

[DECK'ARD]

That speech had all the depth of a greeting card.

 

[Nert]

Apparently this election is about the soul of the nation.

Keep in mind that every election is the most important election in our nation's history.

 

[Big Baybee]

Why does it seem that every election Republicans try to brand their opponent as French/European? lol.

 

[benjipwns]

...Does Romney just say the same stuff every week or something?

Yes.

 

[MThanded]

Mitt has 2 degrees at harvard and mocks people in faculty lounges in his speeches. Keeps money in Europe but bashes Europe in his speeches. I'm confused.

Seriously what is that nonsense man.

 

[Jackson50]

I'm just feeling a vitriolic, spiteful concession speech from Gingrich.

 

[Spider from Mars]

America
Freedom
Soul
Socialism
Military
Lady Liberty
Thank You

 

[Oblivion]

From Newt's twitter:

46 States to Go! Donate today and help us defeat Obamneycare. 1 million dollar money bomb.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Doesn't he keep his money in a blind trust? Not sure how you would invest your money but it's a good idea to diversify at least a little bit.

OK. I would imagine that's probably less of a concern when you're trying to unseat a president than when you're trying to re-elect one.

To me it's a little bizarre... I think my playbook would be to expand the base, not simply try to pander to the base I already have. Canada's Conservative party has gotten to where it wants to be by following a relatively moderate playbook. May lead to some disgruntled faithful, but who else are those people going to vote for?

To be precise Canada's conservative party concentrated more on economic issues and kind of glossed over some of the social issues which is the winning formula right now, people care about jobs, they can debate about abortion and same-sex rights when there's food at the dinner table.

Better cut defense spending, because non-defense descrestionary spending only attributes to 1/4 of the budget.

"Your tax dollars at work"

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

BTW, let's say that Romney was currently our President. Would he not be saying the SAME things Obama has been saying about the economy? "I inhereted the worst recession since the Great Depression, we've created millions of jobs, raised GDP, etc, etc."

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Withdraw from Afghanistan, pure and simple, this is as good as Afghanistan is ever going to get.

BTW, let's say that Romney was currently our President. Would he not be saying the SAME things Obama has been saying about the economy? "I inhereted the worst recession since the Great Depression, we've created millions of jobs, raised GDP, etc, etc."

At least he would let GM declare bankruptcy and be able to restructure the labor contracts, maybe we won't see so much money thrown at pushing green energy, and we would see the keystone pipeline project pushed through.

 

[benjipwns]

Newt finally wandering out from whatever hole he was in.

Better cut defense spending, because non-defense descrestionary spending only attributes to 1/4 of the budget.

Nope, he said he's going to reverse Obama's devastating cuts and strengthen the military so nobody even thinks about challenging the United States.

 

[paskowitz]

"Your tax dollars at work"

Ford didn't take a (public) bailout. Just a secret one. Which I believe is all accounted for. Well that plus leveraging Jag, Land Rover, Volvo and stake in Mazda. So not really.

Assuming he had the same performance as Obama, sure. They always try to promote positives and diminish negatives/make excuses.

 

[benjipwns]

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFETIME

 

[Miletius]

People realized what an annoying and spiteful prick Gingrich is. Imagine that! At least Romney seems like a decent guy.

And there is no way Santorum stays until the end, he simply doesnt have the money or backing from anyone to stay in the race. Just a few weeks ago, he was selling sweater vests to make ends meet and I am NOT joking about that.

It'd totally buy a Rick Santorum sweater vest. I like the cut of his jib!

 

[The Technomancer]

Nope, he said he's going to reverse Obama's devastating cuts and strengthen the military so nobody even thinks about challenging the United States.

Nobody thinks about it now! That's what amazes me. We outclass the next biggest threat by a factor of like ten to one. Would it really be such a huge deal if we only outclassed them by a factor of three or four?

 

[MThanded]

Repeal everything....

Wait executive orders.

This is a terrible speech.

 

[benjipwns]

Nobody thinks about it now! That's what amazes me. We outclass the next biggest threat by a factor of like ten to one. Would it really be such a huge deal if we only outclassed them by a factor of three or four?

But they might get bigger in the future! We need to be prepared!

 

[Brinbe]

Such delusion. Newt gonna Newt.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Is Newt pretending that he won the Florida primary?

The point is that you can bully other countries into favorable trade deals, morality aside, that's the point of having military might, even if America doesn't want to do it, other countries like China and Russia have in the past and will continue to do so.

 

[MThanded]

GOP is salty about Obama's singing skills.

 

[helloresolven]

DONT WORRY CANADA! NEWT IS HERE TO RESCUE YOU!

 

[Spider from Mars]

Is Newt pretending that he won the Florida primary?

You mean President Newt?

 

[Dude Abides]

Just got home. Damn Newt got destroyed.

 

[MThanded]

Newt is done. This is a terrible speech. I mean damn man.

 

[Big Baybee]

This speech is making me fucking angry.

 

[Spider from Mars]

Poor christians, they finally have someone who will stick up for them.

 

[benjipwns]

This speech is making me fucking angry.

You're just upset that he has studied what needs to be done for this nation.

Sensible things like ending the Obama War on Religion.

 

[thecouncil]

"...many of you may have noticed that the obama administration has declared war on the catholic church and other religious institutions."

i hadnt noticed. how have they done that?

edit: seriously. what is he referencing?

 

[Dude Abides]

What. If he wins he'll give us all his money? His Tiffany's credit line?

 

[MThanded]

Newt just pack your bags man.

 

[helloresolven]

Newt's gonna give us his life & fortunes.

 

[benjipwns]

lol at Bret Baier: "It should be noted that although the Gingrich campaign has said '46 states to go', he did not qualify for the ballot in Virginia or Missouri."

 

[Dude Abides]

"...many of you may have noticed that the obama administration has declared war on the catholic church and other religious institutions."

i hadnt noticed. how have they done that?

Obama regs require health care insurance plans to cover contraceptives (and maybe abortion in some cases - not sure). If you go to the Catholic OT they were worked up about it yesterday.

 

[jmdajr]

Bush or Romney? Who'd you rathet have?

 

[Laughing Banana]

Obama must be loving this. The competition from the other side is too busy killing/sniping each other so that all that he had to face on the election is a wounded winner at best. Must be fancy for him.
