[Cleita]

Just saw it on the news. We have got to fix our election system.

1. I thought he was residing on

the "Where-are-they-now" list?

[Prodemsouth]

7. This is an attempt to sell more books - if it works into a serious

campaign fine- he thinks. If Iraq war brings considerable political damage to Bush and the GOP in 06, his arguments could resonate with GOP Primary voters. Looking over everything, I would not worry he will not make it out of the primaries as many Repugs feel he over reached which allowed Clinton to be reelected and helped shrink GOP majorities in the House and Senate in 96, 98, and 2000.

2. Hahahahahahahahahah!

Okay, maybe I laugh too soon.

But the idea of that evil, embarrassing **insect** running for president just cracks me up.

[SmokingJacket]

4. On second thought....

Jeb seems almost like a plausible candidate in comparison... could that be the tactic?

The Kerik plan: float a candidate of extreme horribleness in order to make the "real" candidate look positively normal.

[Arianrhod]

3. What's the difference?

Any Republican is worthless, so who cares who they run?

Besides, it's obvious that, despite his transparently disingenuous protests, Jeb is being groomed for the spot. That's why he's our ambassador to Asia at the moment.

[Nikepallas]

5. He won't get past the Primaries. I wouldn't worry about him.

[Ian David]

24. Kenneth Blackwell Promises to deliver Ohio to Ficus in 2008

Yes, that's right.

Ficus has switched parties, and is now running for President on the Republican ticket.



The Republicans say they are "absolutely certain Ficus will the the next president in 2008. You can write that down."

[NMDemDist2]

isn't he like a million years old?? n/t

[Gold Metal Flake]

6. HE IS A DIVERSION!

He is unelectable.

Watch for the real candidate.

[tsuki]

11. Careful, I thought that about Dubya. n/t

[Spiffarino]

8. Yesssss!!!

He is a miserable bastard who will bring the negative attention back on the Republicans that they so deserve. He is such an evil little troll...how can this be anything but wonderful news?

:thumbsup:

[latteromden]

9. Two things to say about that:

:wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

And:

Hahahahaa. This should be fun.

[KG]

10. another serial adulterer from the 'family values' party.

lets be sure to mention how many ex-wives he has and how he cheated on all of them.

[r_u_stuck2]

14. Yeah but,

All he has to do is declare that he has been "born again", carry a bible and declare he prays a lot and all will be forgiven by the repugs.

[Hippo_Tron]

25. Portray him as a "fake christian" for doing that

It's time to US the GOP's own medicine against them.

[China_cat]

20. And how he had one served

with divorce papers when she was in the hospital recovering from a mastectomy.

[izzie]

12. Good all the Far Rights are sure to do this

Say 3 times married men are just fine. It is one of those 10 rules we are going to re-write.

[Deja Q]

13. And will anybody remember HIS 'Contract With America'? I doubt it. (link)

http://www.digitas.harvard.edu/~salient/issues/941212/page4.html

It was a wolf in sheep's clothing before, and it's a obese wolf in sheep's clothing now.

[proudbluestater]

30. Ah, the infamous Contract With America, I remember it well.

It was later (properly) renamed by the Democrats the Contract ON America.

[Osamasux]

15. It could be another 'Carol Moseley Brown' image cleansing run.

Since the campaign funds scandals, she was a pariah. Her primary campaign was mainly an attempt to give her image a makeover. Nobody could benefit from an image makeover more than Newt.

[sam sarrha]

16. he committed 7 felonies looting a poor black kids college fund and made

millions in profit on the tapes about himself.. and only had to quit his job and stay out of politics for 2 years while keeping his big ass pension and 100% medical insurance for life and he thinks no one will remember just because Bu$h managed to cover up the fact he was a Moron alcoholic drug addict war deserter...?

he might just get elected..!! maybe he knows they aren't going to fix the voting machines...:shrug:

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

17. Never happen. This guy doesn't have a skeleton in his closet...

He's got a fucking mausoleum.

[aldian159]

18. No doubt

He's got more dirt than a topsoil salesman.

[China_cat]

19. This is just a ploy to make it

seem that there's not a Bush dynasty in the works.

[Bonobo]

21. Good. The little prick will get killed and take down the pukes with him.

[Ian David]

22. I thought Newt was going to be on the next season of The Surreal Life

He was supposed to be in the house with Tito Jackson, Tim Kazurinsky, Emily Peden, and Cherie Johnson.

[yurbud]

23. He is a smarmy little troll

I was more conservative when he started in the 80s, and thought he was a smug piece of shit then.

He's one of those people that who when he tells you two plus two equals four, you count on your fingers to double check.

[Hippo_Tron]

26. The women's vote will put us over the top if this dinosaur is the nominee

OOH and if we're lucky, maybe Dan Quayle will be his running mate.

[ChairOne]

27. Newt Gingrich - putting the "con" back into "conservative"!

lol

Let him run. Let all the bigots run. Let America - and the rest of the world - see clearly who they're voting for.

[Flammable Materials]

28. OH YES OH YES OH YES OH YES OH YES PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Run, you stinking little pig.

I hope you get the nomination, you festering swine.

[proudbluestater]

29. Now that they have perfected their method of fixing elections,

they can run any POS they want without fear of defeat. This will cut down on the amount of money spent and raised in campaigns because it doesn't make sense to advertise when the winner has been predetermined.

By 2008 this country will be dead anyway if the neocons get their way.
