2012 Political Predictions

[Townsend]

Expect a lot of dirtying up of Santorum by GOP operatives.  They don't think he can beat Obama.

Not a chance in Hell.

After hearing this morning's news, do the conservatives and Republics really want any one of the three likely candidates to be president? Seriously all politics aside. One of these guys has millions in offshore accounts and pays less in taxes than I do. One is the definition of negativity and hypocrisy. One wants to make being gay, unlawful among other things. 

Do you think any one of these three guys would make a good president? Are you that unhappy with the current state of affairs that these look like good alternatives?

I'm going to assume two of them aren't quite as bad as we think. 

I'd imagine if you met with one in a quiet room for a drink he'd tell you a lot of it is trying to cater to the nutballs.

The offshore accounts are probably a normal thing for someone with that much money.

The third one appears to be one of the nutballs.  I can only go by what I've seen though.

Gingrich:

I was looking for a picture in that, maybe a Jesus profile or burned satan-face...

Taxes - as we have beat to death here...Romney admits to it.  Gingrich is very likely doing it and not admitting it.  To you - and many others - that 15% is the problem.  To "The Disciples" it is the solution.

Gingrich claims 31% and Obama claims 33%.

It wasn't that long ago - just a few decades that it was unlawful to be gay.  They just want to go back to the America of their childhoods.  Like that Owasso guy with his John Birch Society/Ku Klux Klan buddies...

Ross Perot anyone ?

Oops. Quick edit: Bob Dole would vote for Bob Dole if Bob Dole was running.

[AquaMan]

It doesn't escape me that Ross Perot was the best futurist of the group. That sucking sound is more like a tornado now.

[Townsend]

Whoever gets it best keep an eye on the running mate.

If newt chooses Palin, hooooo boy...

Brazilian politician kills running mate to take her seat

A former Brazilian politician has been sentenced to 103 years in prison for killing his running mate so that he could take her place in congress.

Talvana de Albuquerque was sentenced in the state of Alagoas after a jury on Monday found he had ordered four aides to kill congresswoman Ceci Cunha in 1998 so that he, as her stand-in deputy, could take her seat in the lower house Chamber of Deputies.

Albuquerque was also found guilty of ordering the murder of Cunha's husband and two of her relatives, the Associated Press reports.

His aides were sentenced to jail terms ranging from 75 to 105 years.

Newt Gingrich wanted 'open marriage,' ex-wife says

http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/19/politics/gingrich-wife/index.html

(CNN) -- Newt Gingrich offered his second wife a choice of an open marriage or a divorce when he revealed to her he was having an affair with the woman he later made his third wife, Marianne Gingrich said in interviews with ABC News and the Washington Post.

A day after he told his wife about his affair with Callista Bisek in May 1999, the former House speaker delivered a speech titled "The Demise of American Culture" to a group of Republican women in Pennsylvania, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

"How could he ask me for a divorce on Monday and within 48 hours give a speech on family values and talk about how people treat people?" Marianne Gingrich said in her interview with the Post.

How could there have been any question it would come at the cost of American jobs?  They laughed at Perot and called him crazy, but who better to know how you create jobs and retain them than someone who has actually had something to do with the creation of tens of thousands of jobs.

Don't worry about posting the character issues.  I predict at some point in the next month or so he has a spectacular and very public melt-down that will remind everyone what a petulant little child he is.

Throwing feces at the press?

Throwing feces at the press?

Yes, flinging poo like a howler monkey and urinating on himself like Keef Olberdoosh.

[DolfanBob]

He probably wears his new gals bra and panties. Give it a couple of weeks.

Newt Gingrich wanted 'open marriage,' ex-wife says

This just connects the dots with what is already known about him.  He was going after Billy Bob for his open marriage situation out of jealousy.  He wanted the same kind of life and open marriage that Bill and Hillary have enjoyed all these years, and since he couldn't have it, he lashed out.  That is one of the worst kind of lies.  And putting out a Contract on America at the same time.  Well, ya gotta admit, he's go nerve.
