There are, I know, many things that could be debated in those opening two statements. For now, I will continue to believe that there are good citizens in South Carolina; some of them may even be Republicans. I will even allow as how I would support Newt before I would give my vote to Ron Paul. But really...
How is it, that the “party of family values” can give such significant support to a man who is twice divorced, proposed an open marriage to his second wife so he could justify playing around with his mistress, and even proposed to said second wife before he was even officially divorced from the first? That kind of hanky-panky is not what comes to my mind when I think of Republican Party family values.
Then you set that alongside the likes of apparently squeaky clean (marriage-wise, at least) Mitt Romney, who I would never vote for for different reasons, and the Hollywood glamour of Rick Santorum (my opinion) and you still gotta' wonder how Newt walked off with such a convincing win.
Oh, well, on the positive side, the Republicans will be battling this nomination all the way to the convention floor giving Barak Obama lots of opportunity to campaign without an obvious opponent. Obama is not perfect; never said or suggested he was. But the field of Republicans duking it out over the next few months is increasingly pathetic. And the travelling circus hauls in to Florida next. Lucky us.
Come on, America; wake up!
