Tonight, millions of Republicans are happy, while millions more are sweating bullets!!!

[center rising]

The kook wing of the Republican party are delirious tonight with Newt's win, while others like Susan Molinari, Peter King and their minions are scared to death of what could happen if Newt were to somehow pull off a huge upset and actually get the nomination.

Don't think it'll happen, but it's nice to know the civil war in Republican land will continue for a while.

1. Faith means never having to face reality. nt

[msongs]

2. you mean the kook wing does not also apply to Rmoney? nt

[3waygeek]

14. Different kind of kook... nt

[gateley]

3. I bet Molinari, King, and others of their ilk would vote for Obama in the General. They fear Newt

more than they fear Obama!

[quakerboy]

6. Why?

Ive not noticed the Republicans to be especially picky about their candidates as long as they are willing to say "no taxes, government bad".

Why would they fear Newt? Seems like the main Repub worry about newt would be "in any remotely sane world, he would lose terribly"

[gateley]

8. I think they would fear Newt as POTUS. They saw how much destruction he caused as Speaker. His

shenanigans would affect them, too. Just my opinion, of course.

[quakerboy]

10. This is the overall group that backed Bush to the hilt

and then continued on to support McCain, even with Palin.

I just don't see them(any nationwide elected republican) as the types to care how much destruction their quest for power causes.

4. Wait, there's millions of them?

Well that cheers me up...

[quakerboy]

5. 62 million people voted for Lil Bush to have a SECOND term

Which means that he got 12 million more than when he lost his first race.

Hows that little nugget make ya feel?

[Neoma]

7. That the working poor doesn't have time to weigh the facts.

Nor do people have access to good education. And maybe religion has a tad to do with some of it.

[quakerboy]

9. None of which makes me feel cheery either.

Although, to be fair to the reality, on top of the many misinformed and the religiously misinformed, I think there are also a fair number of plan ol jerks on the republican side, voting Hate and bigotry, pure and simple.

[Neoma]

15. Yeah, but what made them jerks?

Anger is used as a defense mechanism, most times. Start a fight first so that you get your words or punches in before they do. Or simple defense against opposing viewpoints. If it's in their personality, then it's something ingrained in them.

Or you're simply born like Lord Voldemort...

[Rosa Luxemburg]

16. the working poor vote against themselves

rather like the sheep

[DCKit]

11. Election fraud had a huge part in both the 2000 and 2004 elections. They were stolen.

Teh ppl wanted something different.

If Obama hadn't won by 15%, we wouldn't have had the 2% "win".

[quakerboy]

12. Even if you figure a 20% flip on fraud

Thats still many millions of people who voted for Bush. Then voted for him again. And then voted for Palin

[elana i am]

13. this repug primary season

needs oh shit handles!
