What The Eft?
McClatchy reports that the Newt is in the septic tank:
“I believe we can return America to hope, and opportunity, full employment, real security, to an American energy program, to a balanced budget,” Gingrich said.
He invoked Ronald Reagan and said that as House speaker he’d played a role in revamping welfare, balancing the federal budget and reducing unemployment. And in a nod to tea party supporters, Gingrich said he would be president over “a decentralized country under the 10th Amendment with power once again back with the American people and away from the Washington bureaucracy.”
In a boost to Salamander-Americans, the twit who closed down the US government over the seating arrangements on Air Force One announced his candidacy on Twitter. No word on what terrible disease his current wife has contracted which will “force” him to divorce her [wife-1 had cancer and wife-2 multiple sclerosis], but that will surely come as night follows day.
Well, he was in the House when a Democratic President and Democratic Congress passed the policies that brought down the deficit and finally balanced the budget after twelve years of “borrow and spend” under Reagan and Bush, but he spent most of his time ranting on C-Span after the rest of the House went home at night.
The man has the “family values” of a tomcat, and the political skills that caused the Republican caucus to dump him. Anyone who votes for him deserves what they get, because he has a long record.
[I apologize to amphibians everywhere for associating them with Newt Gingrich.]

The reason to support Gingrich is that he will always love America. Unless it gets cancer or MS :twisted:.

Might as well apologize to tomcats, too. 😆
This is a fine example of a “top tier” candidate of the Republicant party. It is time to sell the franchise to some sucker and move on to something more profitable. They have pretty much exiled anyone with a reasonable chance to win. Hell, they are starting to talk about drafting John Ellis Bush, my former governor, to run. That would be interesting. We could spend a lot of time talking about the Lehman Brothers disaster and what happened to the Florida pension fund.
