You're a moron and a racist, Bigot Billy from Florida.
GO AWAY!

Go to Hell, Nicky the neo-Nazi racist pig.

" Newt to Newsmax: Romney’s ‘Etch-A-Sketch’ Campaign Won’t Beat Obama
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich charged in an exclusive interview with Newsmax that Mitt Romney’s “Etch-A-Sketch” campaign strategy will only alienate the conservative base he needs to defeat President Barack Obama in November should he go on to capture the GOP nomination."
Clint| 5.1.12 @ 3:15PM
" Note to Mitt Romney advisers: When your candidate already has a reputation as a middle-of-the-road, flip-flopping technocrat with zero core beliefs, likening him to an Etch-A-Sketch is probably ill-advised, no matter the context.
Eric Fehrnstrom learned this the hard way.
CNN asked whether his candidate, who's gone out of his way to appeal to conservatives this winter, would later tack more to the political center against President Obama.
"I think you hit a reset button for a fall campaign," Fehrnstrom said. "Everything changes. It's like an Etch A Sketch. You can shake it up and we start all over again."
Mimi| 5.1.12 @ 4:00PM
Newt fought the good fight! He would have made a darn good President.
He had his faults, not having the Organization and confidence to see a way foward...one has to wonder if he was really serious!
I hope Romney sees his talents and gives him an important roll in the next administration.
Best of luck Newt...thanks for your work on our behalf and give our thank you's to Callista for all she has done for the country.
Nick| 5.1.12 @ 4:45PM
Hi Mimi!
Hope your recovery is going well and that you are feeling better. My prayers are with you.
By the way, Margie was here, yesterday, asking about you. I told her about your surgery. It was in this thread:
http://spectator.org/archives/.....ent_807865
Get well soon and God Bless!
Daniel| 5.1.12 @ 5:40PM
Nick
You do your best to chase away Bill for racist remarks but your'e all sweet to Margie the religious bigot. A bigot is a bigot. Be consistent.
Nick| 5.2.12 @ 12:44AM
Daniel,
You don't know what you're talking about, I'm afraid. Or, else, you would know that me and Margie have had plenty of arguments. Some of them knock-down, dragged-out debates. Too bad you missed them.
Also, Margie is not a racist. Racists, like Billy the Bigot, are worse that people who appear to be religious bigots, because those kind of non-Catholics are just ignorant of actual Catholic teachings. So, I'm being totally consistent.
And, I'm not trying to chase Billy the Bigot away. I'm just informing those who might want engage him that he is, in fact, a rabid racist.
What is wrong with that?
Daniel| 5.2.12 @ 7:01AM
Nothing wrong with that. A bigot is a bigot. She is not ignorant she knows what she says. Billy is not ignorant he knows what he says.
Bill| 5.1.12 @ 6:05PM
Go to Hell, Nicky the neo-Nazi racist pig.
You hate Lady Gaga cause you ain't got no talent, still sucking your mom tits, Nicky the neo-Nazi.
Occam's Tool| 5.1.12 @ 9:57PM
Nick, G-d Bless. Margie tends to hang around Weasel Zippers, as do I.
You are a good man, Nick. Do let me know when you are in the Great White North.
Nick, by the way, is Catholic, and a very decent guy. How he deals with Margie (who I also happen to like) is his call. Margie doesn't tend to be difficult unless you go and twist her tail. Since I was raised properly, I do know how to avoid that.
The only people I hate are people who want to kill my kids, or, who through idiotic inaction, see them come to harm.
Unlike Ron Paul and his supporters, Newt realizes that Obama is a non-pareil.
Daniel| 5.1.12 @ 11:06PM
Your'e offended by anit- semites but anti-catholicism is only a reply to twisting tail. I see.
Clint| 5.1.12 @ 11:21PM
Interesting That Tool Job, The Jewish BibiBot Uses The Name Of A Catholic Heretic

O.T:
Your pals over at Weasel Zippers banned me and scrubbed months worth of my posts for saying Homosexuality is SIN.
p.s. Hillyer told me I can't say anything against Catholicism here, so I left.
Freedom of speech for anti-Christians but not for Christians!
God bless you.
p.s. Mimi, if you're reading this, God loves you so much, and so do I, and I miss you and am praying for you. Hold on to Jesus, He's holding onto you.
love,
Margie "

You should join Margie and Billy in exile.
Nick| 5.2.12 @ 12:46AM
Thanks, again, for the kind remarks, Occam.
You, sir, are a complete gentleman.
G-d Bless!
Pete| 5.2.12 @ 10:20AM
Without the Romney carpet bombing, Newt would have won. The GOP establishment denied those of us who have yet to have a primary a voice.
RJ| 5.1.12 @ 5:04PM
Newt is an electrifying speaker and I am glad that he ran for president. As he said, now we need to do all that we can to defeat Obama, and the liberal senate candidates, in November.

Dear Mimi:
Yes, I echo Nick (always a good thing to do). I hope you are feeling great and ready to be a Tigress for the Right! G-d Bless, dear lady.
PattyMor| 5.2.12 @ 11:24AM
Newt's biggest problem was he under estimated his competition. Instead of vacationing in Greece, he should have been building his organization and lining up his funders. And, he missed getting on the ballot in Virginia which could have been a backstop after he lost Florida.
