Romney/Rubio. Bank it.

I agree with Romney. Please explain your rationale for Rubio.

Secures Florida, pulls some of the Hispanic vote from the rest of the country. Bonafide social conservative to balance Romney's more centrist tendencies. Would destroy Biden in a debate, exposing him for the puppet he is.

One thing that a lot of folks don't understand is that there is no bloc "Hispanic Vote".

Hispanics in the US are about 20 different groups that in a lot of cases HATE each other.

Some of them are Bloc Republican voters (Cubans for example they would vote for Satan if he had an R after his name.). Some are bloc Dem voters and some are in between but they are far from a monolithic group. Noone seems to understand that.

what part of "some of" dont you understand?

The republican party has been hurt over the years by issues such as abortion. I know women who seem to understand and agree with conservatism when it comes to budget deficits, national debt, spending too much on all the stupid shit we spend too much on and all the rest of it.  They are seemingly staunch conservatives one minute but then some freakin *man* comes along and tells em what they can and can't do about their pregnancy and they turn into flesh eating liberals.

  I think in the end Gingrich will have said things that are so profound, as he has over the years,  people are going to perk up, listen and take a closer look. When they do they will buy into his candidacy.

My nephew, while in college  is friends with many people from Spain. He said they can hardly tell what Mexicans are saying when they speak as (they) speak  "Andalusion Spanish' which is considered "real Spanish."
And he said that they said a lot of other things about Mexicans which I won't go into here.

Yes, lots of people are fiscal conservatives and social liberals.

Interestingly, these “fiscally conservative, socially moderate or liberal” respondents made up 17 percent of Republicans but 24 percent of Democrats — and 41 percent of ticket-splitters:

Yes it is interesting and even weird.  Though I would call myself a conservative independent  I'm a cheerleader for the conservative republicans rather than a ticket splitter.  Fiscal responsibility takes president IMHO.  I wouldn't vote for Bauchman in the primary but I certainly would in the general even if she is a bat shit crazy religious fanatic (exaggerated for effect) given the choice between her and the Marxist.

Self-identification polls are worthless to begin with. There are far left posters here who sould swear they are centrist, and those on both sides who either lie or have deluded themselves into thinking they are "independent".

No doubt GOP supporters are salivating at the choice before them. Who wouldn't be enthused by the choice between a bore, a buffoon and duplicitous philanderer who cruelly betrayed every woman he married?

It's a worry that these 3 morons are falling over themselves (and each other) in their rush to start another war - this time with Iran. Is there any evidence that any of them knows where Iran is? (No Herman it's not a place to home deliver pizzas) It appears that the GOP wishes to inflict a re-run of Bush the Dumber on the world. Hasn't anyone learnt anything from the disastrous invasion of Iraq? Hasn't it trickled down to the GOP that the GFC is a direct consequence of the doomed economic billionaire-friendly policies Bush the Dumber pursued for years?

It's OK for conservatives to yearn and hanker for a return to a mythical past, but someone really needs to tell them that a real return to the real past is impossible. Where does the GOP find such lamentably under-qualified, untalented idiots? Does it have an endless supply of them (noting Perry is still lurking in the background, no doubt trying to remember where he put his memory aid pills)?

I don't know where to begin. Your entire post is full of hyperbole and nonsense.  We all know the story of Newt serving up divorce papers in his wife's hospital room while she was recovering from surgery. This is the baggage I'm talking about and I'm sayin he can overcome.  Even the daughter says the whole thing was exaggerated by the press and not at all what it was portrayed as.   You say "duplicitous philanderer who cruelly betrayed every woman he married?" Me thinks you exaggerate. Got any facts other than the one I just mentioned. 

You can say Gingrich is a " lamentably under-qualified, untalented idiot" but that's just nonsensical and absurd.  Gingrich is an intellectual genius. The rest of the pack doesn't fall into the untalented idiot category either. I don't even think Obama is an idiot. Like I wrote in the OP "Marxist hack" but certainly not stupid.

You say "these morons are falling all over themselves in their rush to start another war".  Once again morons is highly exaggerating and why can't they just go in and break a few things (knock out Iran's nuclear capability) and get out again. I doubt if these guys and Gingrich in particular are going to want a rerun of Iraq, nation building or any of the rest of it.

Get ready for a flurry of fuzzy satellite ''intelligence'' of generic warehouses all across Iran frantically described as segments of a nuclear bomb assembly line (Remember a famous ''secret nuclear facility'' in Syria not long ago? It was a textile factory.)

Get ready for a flurry of crude diagrams depicting suspect devices, or the containers that hide them, all capable of reaching Europe in 45 minutes.

Get ready for a flurry of ''experts'' on Fox, CNN and the BBC endlessly dissecting all this extended black ops dressed up as ''evidence''. For instance, former UN weapons inspector David Albright, now at the Institute for Science and International  Security (ISIS), has already pulled his return of the living dead stunt, displaying his ''bomb Iran'' credentials complete with diagrams and satellite intel.

But it turns out that the foreign expert, who is not named in the IAEA report but was identified in news reports as Vyacheslav Danilenko, is not a nuclear weapons scientist but one of the top specialists in the world in the production of nanodiamonds by explosives.

Getting all States in the region to sign up to making the region a nuclear weapons free zone is a far better far more achievable option without any of the negative side effects generated by aggressive US militarism. Yet not a single one of the morons running for the GOP candidacy seems aware that far more effective options exist.
