I didn't like Gingrich, but the ad I was forced to watch before being shown my video was a savage attack on Gingrich. Infidelity, worry about climate change, all the rest presented in the most humiliating format. After I saw that my opinion of Newt increased, with the kind of enemy that puts out this kind of anonymous ad, a certain respect is gained from intelligent people simply from the fact the virtue of your enemies techniques.

Newt shouldn't be ashamed of his pro-science view, his visions of a moon base. Of all things he could be ashamed of that is the last. We should go to the moon. We should pay attention to brain science. These are things he can be proud of supporting.

What's driving me nuts is Romney, stripped naked like a Ken doll, with no genitalia, asserting this state as the desirable ideal for America. At some point no mistakes becomes a rejection of humanity, a rejection of human nature and a sign of a life managed by handlers who kept you from ever living, a sign of puppet strings.

We shouldn't fear the dirty secrets, the madness we can see -

We should fear that secrets and madness that we can't. Give me an imperfect leader any day over the "perfect" leader who is an illusion, a Ken doll controlled by savage children unseen.

Edit: what's going to move this country forward is an acceptance of our humanity, not more embracing false ideals about what we should be.
