Newt Gingrich's Candidacy - 2012

  • News
  • Thread starter Astronuc
  • Start date
In summary, Newt Gingrich is proposing a manned Lunar base by 2020 and plans to reduce taxes to boost investment in space programs in order to revitalize the US space program. This would devastate the economy and is unlikely to garner him any votes.

George Wallace was governor for like 250 years, so obviously a lot of people felt pretty good about his character

You sir, are the winner of this debate.

I could not think of any other way to end it so parsimoniously.

Why do people care so much about the FLOTUS anyway? She has no real power, does she?

And how about the POPOTUS?

I think most people liked the character of Elizabeth Edwards, John Edward's wife.

I think most people liked the character of Lurleen Wallace, George Wallace's wife.

I think either of those examples would convince people that a candidate's spouse provides little insight into a candidate's character.

(The George Wallace example is even worse than the John Edwards example. He hid Lurleen's cancer from her so she wouldn't drop out of the race for governor, which delayed her treatment until she was beyond treatment.)
great examples
