Mothers Should Be Required To Work Outside Home Or Lose Bene

Actually latest polls show only an 8% difference, fairly easy to overcome with more than six months to go.

You've got your polls, and then there are the ACTUAL polls... No problem.

It wasn't about economics; it wasn't about jobs; it wasn't about pocketbook issues...(which is what the country cares about). They went off on contraception, gay marriage, Planned Parenthood, ad nauseum. They're campaigning like it was 40 years ago. They still haven't figured out that the standard wedge-issue playbook doesn't work with 90% of the voters today.

Older voters (who used to be susceptible to that sort of wedge-issue campaigning) are dying off, and younger voters not only don't care, but disagree and are turned off by it.

But, jus' keep doin' what yer doin'....

Ether your memory is faulty or you get all your information from lefty propaganda sites.

That is what brought Santorum down. What brought Newt down was attacking Romney like a democrat, not social issues.

I thought my memory was pretty good?

That is not what brought him down with the right. IMO your memory is selective and follows what ever the narrative is on the left.

Yes, it's so hard to ignore the actual videos of Newt's tirades.

At least he had the guts to call the Ryan budget for what it was..."Radical Social Engineering"... Man, the truth hurts, don't it?

:faint: lol , LJ,
Did you have to take a Tums after you realized you were agreeing with the Newt-ster?

Primaries make strange bedfellows.

Oh, I loved it...Particularly when the rest of the entire extremist GOP went bat-sh*t-crazy afterwards... And watching him try to back-pedal and say, "If you quote me, you're lying." You can't make up this kind of GOP hypocrisy.

Not really GOP hypocrisy, more like Newt went off the rail and had to be whipped back into line. He mumbled an apology and went on with his weak campaign.

Just like the time he went after Romney's creative destruction & vulture capitalism. And these big goverment statements are the real reason his campaign floundered after South Carolina.

Sorry, but if you say "If you quote me, you're lying", that's hypocrisy. And I don't give a flip if you think so or not.

The Attack on Romney's Vulture Capitalism (Newt Gingrich)

Rick Perry, is staking his hopes on the town of Gaffney, South Carolina, where he says Bain Capital has killed 150 jobs. “There’s a real difference between venture capitalism and vulture capitalism,” says the Texas governor, actually coining a clever phrase. “I don’t believe that capitalism is making a buck under any circumstances.”

Up until New Hampshire, it wasn’t easy for these 1 percenters to take it to the .1 percent that Mitt so well personifies. Attacking Romney is to attack winner-take-all capitalism itself, the very core of GOP ideology. And indeed, Gingrich and Perry have faced scathing criticism from fellow Republicans. The Club for Growth calls Newt’s attack “disgusting.” Limbaugh says Newt “sounds like Elizabeth Warren.”

I don’t believe that that’s really what is at the heart of Governor Perry’s criticism of Romney and his time at Bain. This isn’t about a politician making huge profits in the private sector, think what Governor Perry is getting at is that Governor Romney claimed to have created 100,000 jobs at Bain and you know, people are wanting to know: Is there proof of that claim? And was it U.S. jobs created for United States Citizens? You know, the 100,000 jobs, and I believe that that’s what Governor Perry is getting at is, you know, own up to the claims that are being made I had and that’s fair. That’s not negative campaigning, that’s fair to get a candidate to be held accountable to what’s being claimed, especially when it comes to job creation because so many of us are so concerned about what’s going on Main Street, as well as Wall Street.

It’s no wonder Wall Street lobbyists are lining up to throw campaign money Romney’s way today, by far more than any other presidential candidate. Mitt Romney is the poster child for the greed of Wall Street and excess of the 1%. A guy who made hundreds of millions putting profits ahead of peoples’ jobs is exactly the kind of guy Wall Street would love running things in Washington. Mitt Romney would let the Gekkos of the world go back to same greedy and reckless behavior that wiped out trillions in savings and cost millions of Americans their jobs.

It’s not a small matter for Mitt Romney to be offering up an imaginary number as a central reason to vote for him, particularly since the number of people who were put out of work by Bain Capital will end up being much more concrete. If Mitt Romney’s actual number of “jobs created” is closer to the 10,000 he mentioned in the 1994 campaign, then it’s entirely possible Mitt Romney killed more jobs than he created at Bain Capital since the private research I’ve seen, which is more likely to be low than high, suggests roughly 17,000 people were fired, laid off, or were in firms that went out of business while Mitt Romney was in charge.

In other words, is it entirely possible Mitt Romney was a net job killer, not a net job creator during his time at Bain? Absolutely.

You cling to that. His vulture-capitalism is going to be crammed down his throat...and lying about creating 100,000 jobs while killing 17,000 is going to look wonderful in a campaign ad.

HOT TIP: His candidacy is going to flounder again... The GOP is primed to lose control of the House, and a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. And all those TeaBagger candidates that you keep bragging about from 2010? What makes you think they're going to be around after two years of showing their constituents that they're morons?

I did not say he did not have a conservative pov on social issues. Duh, he was running for the republican nomination. I said it was not social issues that gave him his spike in popuarity, or his persipitous drop.

Well, I did... And I don't care if you don't think so. The videos speak for themselves... Were they the only reason? Ask me if I care...
