How long before Newt wants an "open relationship" with his horse?
With the decline in the quality of candidates running for the Republican nomination for President, is it just a matter of time?
What did Republican voters do in a previous life to warrant such a dire curse upon their Party?
Is this really the best they can do?
Do they have any moral standards? Will they accept any immoral philanderer as their nominee, so long as they can debate Barack Obama?
Is their only concern the bloodline of the horse?

All this bruha about the morals of presidential candidates stinks to high heaven. I know, it's about the hypocrisy, but why then is all the discussion about the morals, rather than the hypocrisy? We sound like a bunch of outraged old women (cue the alert, for remarks insensitive to anger impaired age enhanced females).
We are exploiting half the world and oppressing the other half. Our citizens cannot obtain sufficient medical care. Our schools are in trouble. We are run by and for the benefit of corporations. Etc. Why the hell do we give a rat's buttocks who some politician sleeps with? Jesus, it frightens me sometimes, how shallow and unimaginative Americans can be!

As a society, we cannot pretend, on the one hand, to care less about which moral direction we go and then, at the same time, expect the country to go in the moral direction of providing proper medical care and education to our citizens, on the other hand. We can't have our cake and eat it too.

(16,350 posts)but I do care about hypocrisy and race-baiting, and horrible, heartless policies and just flat-out lying to my face. Obama is the 'most dangerous' president? Really?
Newt really makes me nauseous. Can't stand him. So fine. Let him be the face of that sorry party. He really is emblematic of the whole ugly lot of 'em.
