Talking in absolutes...

For an unknown number of years, Gingrich's foundation has been shamelessly trading on what prestige his name has by awarding Honorary Awards for excellence to people seemingly taken from the phone book, in exchange for a handling fee of around $5000 IIRC.

Was reported to have taken in millions doing that.

Well at least with a womanizer you know that he knows how to screw others !!

Havent seen a woman candidate put her hand up yet. Maybe its too hot in the kitchen.
From experience over here, the last thing you want is a woman in the top job !!

Might as well resurrect this old gem...

Aside from eviscerating the military and then immediately involving the military in a war it was ill-prepared to fight and and when we were winning, essentially surrendered and that cost the lives of of over 50k men and a couple hundred thousand wounded, I see your point.

We have Michelle Bachman, but she hasn't been polling too well lately. I take it you're not happy with Julia Gillard. I don't know anything about her politics, but I do believe that with the removal of Ukraine's Yulia Tymoshenko(currently in prison for abuse of power-maybe you are on to something), Gillard may be the best looking head of government anywhere at the moment.

Thatcher seems to have done better than ok running the UK.

There is a cute song about 'Gingrich the Newt' by the Austin Lounge Lizards on You Tube. I would post a link if I could figure out how that is done, but it is easy to find.

I think this song was written in the late 90's.

There is really no need to trash Newt here. The other Republicans on the stage will do that quite well, thank you.

One reason I would not trust Newt with the job of President is that he has had close to it once and blew it. When he tried to shut down the Federal Government in the 90's and Clinton turned him inside out you would have thought he would have tried to get around Clinton in another way, but his next attempt to shut down the Government was tossed in his face by Clinton again. What's that old saying Republicans invented a few years ago? If you do the same thing and expect different results you are an idiot or something like that?

The 'Contract with America' which did deliver on a few items and was interesting, but Newt was unable to bring it home during the next election and had to resign his position because of it.

If he can't outsmart Bill Clinton then why should I expect him to outsmart any other world leader?

Clinton was the cleverest, most politically adept president we have had since LBJ. Nobody but LBJ could have outmaneuvered Clinton and probably not more than half the time. Now that would have been a hell of a political cage fight: LBJ vs Clinton!

only with people who have gotten "personal" with me, like "layback", who compared barack obama to an animal at the zoo. (and, for the record, i don't even like barack obama, the ultimate sell-out, for reasons that have nothing to do with his ethnicity. ) maybe you should think before posting.

Getting personal with Obama is the same as getting personal with you (your own words), yet you don't like Obama.
