Seriously? No thread on the Iowa caucuses yet?

Saw an article that said Santorum had moved into third place in N.H. Then I read the article and realised that he still only had 8% compared to Romneys 41%. Got to love the headlines lol.

Santorum raised 1 million the night he won Iowa. That will give him some fresh steam. If I was him I would push hard for S.C not N.H. Bad move I think.

I actually like Gingrich most based on what I think is actual intelligence, and I know how important intelligence is in real life. Where "leaders" who are merely bigger dumb sheep running scared over this or that distant coyote howl can take the whole herd over a cliff or into another war, we should vote for intelligence. I know he's played the game and made the deals in his time in office, but I've listened to him quite a bit, and I think, of all the "mainstreamers", he actually does care about this country and its people.

Great point. I might not act like it but I view politics as a side show. My boss calls it WWF and thinks they should bring in Vince McMahon to make it more entertaining.

It's a shame folks like Gingrich have to play the game to appease radicals rather than us supporting him using his intelligence to make the best choices he can. I can support an honest mistake he may make. It's the mistakes with an underlying agenda that bug all of us, I think, and they tend to be much more detrimental than mistakes formed out of a genuine care for the people and country.

I'm not much of a Huntsman fan either. He reminds me of Greg Miller, born into the right family. I wonder what either one of them would have become without daddy's money.

Well, there are plenty of people out there with daddy's money that don't amount to ****. My neighbor in Clearfield was a great example. Dad worth 1/4 of a billion, living off his trust funds, 40 years old, smoked pot all day, had no job, blew money left and right. So you gotta at least give some credit that they worked hard enough to be in the positions they are. It takes more than money to become an ambassador, and it takes more than being in the right family to be successful running a business.

Well said. Repped.

It is so easy to get caught up in making mistakes look like intentional evil. It happens from left to right and vice versa all the time. Any honest mistake is labeled as a heinous evil crime against humanity. No one actually makes mistakes, they viciously and with malice aforethought try to perpetrate evil on the world. One the one hand, it gets old, on the other it shows the gross stupidity of our political leaders and how stupid they think we all are. And it also exposes the stupidity among the masses that cannot tell the difference.

I would argue that Newt has already become a victim of the radicals. As has Cain, Bachman, Perry and soon to be Santorum. Paul is next. People so not want to have to vote for Romney that are pushing every other candidate until they trip up and they have to move onto the next.

Romney offers no change from the current administration.
Mitt Romney basically wrote Obamacare from his own plan in New Hampshire.
He has been a career flip-flopper on everything from abortion to foreign policy.
The only real change comes from Ron Paul, who will stick to constitutional restraints and get the government out of your life.

There goes your credibility.

Santorum is Catholic.

I know, it was a joke. He acts and looks like the stereotypical Mormon adult leader. I don't actually think Santorum is "cooler" than the 2 Mormons either. Romney was my guy in '08 and still looks to be the 2nd best candidate outside of Ronnie.
