...Look at it this way, Newt simply wants to be a "great man", not a newt...so we're going to give him a chance to be a man, by being, once again, our bitch.

you've actually bought into the whole line of sh**t.  that you have political power.  capital has political power and it has taken Christ along for the ride.  you're a pawn.

What exactly are you trying to convince me of?  That Romney's, who has all the establishment support and capital, getting killed is a sign capital has more political power than the jmfcsts?

I'm trying to convince you to renounce Christ and become a Marxist-Leninist, obviously.  as for the rest of that, let us wait and see.  McCain was able to be nominated without the support of capital but eventually fell to the preferred Obama; many rounds are to be fought.

reminds me of the moment at an Easter Party in 2001 when watching Duke-Maryland in the Final Four that I blurted out "it's been a great game no matter who wins."  my friend's father then said "so David's admitting that Duke is going to win."

It is pretty simple: A man with a wife who is younger than his daughters is not the leader of the party of values.

Still, he doesn't break the half-plus-seven rule.

well, when they were married Gingrich was about 57 and Callista was about 34; (57/2)+7 = 35.5.  would have been invalid in BRTDland.

Dammit.

It's interesting to note though that Gingrich's first wife broke the half-plus-seven rule herself. She was 26, he was 19. Then again, the rule probably doesn't apply to women anyway.

the BRTD rule has a 'cougar clause' that allows for heterosexual marriages in which the women are older.
