This is just a reminder of what I said about Newt just one month ago when he was topping polls in Iowa and nation wide.
Look, Newt is a smart fella and I can even relegate the marital peccadilloes to the past, but Newt is still Newt.
Romney will disappoint me, I know that. But Newt can/will destroy us (conservatives). Newt will blow up, either as a candidate or as a President and he will take the entire conservative movement with him. His hubris and his flightiness will end up alienating just about everyone. You know how I know this? Because that is what Newt always does.
While he had successes as Speaker, he ended up the most unpopular figure in the country, both left and right. As a pundit, he has done the same thing. And as a candidate, the same thing. Newt blows up. That is what Newt does.
The only things that blow up more reliably than Newt are Iranian nuclear scientists.

Brian, that's long been a problem with FB and this site. One of just many, many reasons I deactivated my Facebook account.

The problem, and it moves around, is that some server from blogger –In this case an image server, gets marked as spam and thousands of blogger blogs bet blocked as a result. This seems to be a weekly occurrence lately.
Almost makes my want to move my hosting. Almost.

I dun'know. I was watching the primary last night and the thought came to me (I know, I'm slow) that she had an affair with a married man while pretending to be a "practicing" Catholic. Sure the Lord has forgiven them, but not so sure they can be trusted with the WH. Maybe not being electable is part of their Purgatory.
Let's elect someone who can keep promises and doesn't make promises easily.

Lord forgive me for laughing over someone's death but this was hysterically funny!
