I mean, WOW
Jan. 22nd, 2012 11:15 pmNewt Gingrich won in South Carolina - 40%. The man who has cheated on two wives, and asked each of them for a divorce just when they have been diagnosed with a very serious medical condition. The man who wants poor children to be janitors in their school. The man who got busted, while impeaching Clinton for having an affair with someone who worked for him - as cheating on his wife with one of his staffers. The man who is bringing dog-whistling to american politics. He won like two days after his ex-wife explained that when she found out about his affair (with his current wife) he asked for an open marriage.
The guy got kicked out of congress for ethics violations ffs.
And they could have voted for Stephen Colbert/Hermann Cain. I can't believe only 1% voted for him. I would have been willing to register as a republican to vote for that!
But - onya tea-party and evangelical christians. thank you from the bottom of my heart. for amusing me (as opposed to the norm, which is scaring me) and for dragging this out, and for making it more likely that Obama is returned. at this rate, with possible control of congress. Newt Gingrich has, in any general election - a 100% name recognition and in any poll, over 60% disapproval rate. good luck with that.
