the self proclamation of constitutional scholars continues
and we're smarter than you too, LMFAO
in 2008, the typical Ron Paul supporter looked like poorly groomed 20 something year olds that couldn't make a constitutional argument to save their lives. I'm thinking he may have a few more informed and mature supporters today, but I haven't been anywhere near a Paul rally and I haven't seen his supporters walking the street
in 2007 i went to the Pumpkin festival in Keene NH, there were rallies and tents and supporters everywhere, which is how I formed my opinion.

personally don't know why anyone would want to be POTUS especially a self-made millionaire like Romney or an older fellow like Paul
Willie I sure wish I fit your handy little Paul supporter profile...would love to be in my late-20's again while rocking a rally stoned and eating pumpkin pie. You also love to bring up this constitutional scholars deal although I'm sure you'd even readily admit that RP's voting history in the House has been the most consistently aligned with the Constitution of any of his millionaire peers. Doesn't mean he's a scholar...just means he's consistent.
You also know where to find the contribution info on candidates both by industry and by specific company. You'll notice a pretty striking difference b/w where Paul and Romney get their money. Of course you already know this but decide not to accept is as fact much like any information presented to you that doesn't align with your RINO party favoritism.
as far as Rush, Sean, Ingram, Garaofolo being sheep? that's just too easy to argue so not worth starting

so i was just driving back from an appointment and flipping through the radio dial. Couldn't listen to our local sports jackholes, Vinny and Cook, debating the Steelers' firing OC Aryans so I jumped over to 91.3 but "You've lost that loving feeling" wasn't doing it for me so I turned to a 3rd station and caught a Newt spot.
It's a 30 second spot and at least 15 seconds is used on a favorable audio byte of Michelle Bachmann talking about Newt in 2008. Being that Dave and Willie are the resident Newt pimps I ask with all sincerity, WTF is he thinking? Is Crazy Eyes that well thought of with mainline GOP voters that he's saddling his campaign on something she said before anyone had even heard of her? It blew my mind!

To address the question. My motivation for wanting to become POTUS would be:
Being able to upgrade to a much larger house.
Have my own chief.
Throw parties.
Take lavish vacations.
Have my own private jet.
Invite Bibi to dinner at least one a month.
And all on the tax payers dime.

who is popular with Tea Party voters? not many, and all the candidates have flaws, although they're all superior to Barry
the problem with the process this year is that the Tea Party wants that perfect candidate, and he's just not there
it's much easier being a democrat, just find the guy that funds your cause
well i guess ducking the question is better than telling me about your affinity for turtles
i was being serious in asking why your boy would pay thousands on an add where he relies on bachmann to present his candidacy. I just didn't think MB was that big of a deal that you'd want her as your front line in PA.
btw, who doesn't want the perfect candidate? although my perfect candidate would be ron paul but with romney's money, poise, and presidential aura.
Here are his top campaign contributors......

what question did I duck? I thought I made my point pretty obvious
having her support is better than not, just don't see it as some hindrance
Ron Paul would gladly accept it
If the tea party is truly about cutting government and taxes... please point to me the candidate with the voting record and the means to enact on it outside of Ron Paul? Nobody takes the tea party seriously anymore because the message is convoluted and it was hijacked by the establishment. Period.
Newt actually authored and spilled blood to pass the only budget in our lifetime that slowed the rate of growth in government spending. An actual budget that became the law of the land and credit for it was hijacked by the people that opposed the bill and caused Newt to bleed.
as for nobody taking the Tea Party seriously anymore, pure poppycock.
well i don't know about that...
but now explained I guess I'm not arguing if it's good or bad to have support I'm asking if you thought this would be the right tactic to take to sway voters his way. Basically the commercial is some golden voice starting with "In 2008 Michelle B said the following about Newt Gingrich" ... then 15-18 seconds of a MB quote saying something to the effect that Newt was a really important dude back in the day. It closes with a few seconds of the golden voice saying if he could get things done back then he can get them done today.
sorry if I'm actually asking a sincere question as this board is against such behavior
Then again I'm sure Newt pays some pretty smart people a lot of money to figure this stuff out before cutting ads that likely hit 5 or 6 figures but was just curious is all. I'll move along
I have to speculate here, I'm assuming his polling data suggests it's a good idea. Furthermore, I don't really see the downside. I don't think her endorsement hurts, especially in the Republican primary
Now, if we start to question every endorsement and/or every political ad and/or every supporter of every candidate, it could get really funny around here
He balanced a budget with the help of surging revenues (see tech) in a much smaller budget. In fact, the Grinch was asked a question in a debate:
Modernize? How, how much would that cost? How do you save half a trillion be modernizing? 70-120 Billion by cutting waste. There is a start to sew up the 1.3 trillion dollar deficit. But thats about it from the Grinch. Where do you suppose he makes up the other 91% to balance the budget? Hahahaha. Come off it Wullie. This guy is a chump. He left his seat with 600 billion added to the national debt. The day he took office the national debt sat at 4.5 Trillion when he left it stood at 5.7. The reason we balanced the budget is because we werent fighting a war, we were reducing spending and had Treasury receiving huge capital gain revenue via tech. Non of that is true today and Newts answer? Cut waste???? Modernize?? LMFAOOOOOOOO. Sounds like a typical Washington charlatan wullie, maybe when he loses he can get a show on Fox too?
