I think you have a thing for this Gingrich fella, Ronnie  . Must be the flubber that makes me sweat. (OK you deserved that image. Now hush and let salute President Newt, Defender of Civilization.)

Oh boy. Romney Not Really Sure How He’d Legally Stop ObamacareKLEIN: But what do your lawyers think as to why these waivers could take place, because I have the law here, and it says that it applies on January 1, 2017 - under the “waiver for state innovation.” ROMNEY: When you say “it” — “it applies”?
KLEIN: The “waiver for state innovation” — under section 1332.
ROMNEY: The waiver for state innovation?
KLEIN: Yes, that’s the waiver that I believe that you’re talking about when you talk about state waivers. That’s what your campaign has said.
ROMNEY: Oh, they say it’s that in particular?
KLEIN: Yeah.
ROMNEY: Then I’d have to have Ben Ginsberg, our lawyer, sit down. If you really want to go into that and tell you what — if that’s important to you, we’ll have Ben Ginsberg give you a call and talk about what provision of the law we would seek to employ.
I don't believe he was acting. http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/1...are.php?ref=fpb

That Perry ad is a disgrace, but what else is new? When the going gets tough, the GOP run to the right. Since when can't we celebrate Christmas?? I celebrate Christmas every year. It's a lovely holiday.
As for this country being founded on religion, this country was founded by a bunch of rebels who were looking for freedom from faith by force. Freedom of religion, to practice or not according to one's own beliefs, is a guaranteed right. The separation of governmental operations, such as public schools, from religion is another. Why does the right continually forget all that??
You want your kid to pray in school and celebrate Christmas? Then send them to a Christian school. I totally agree. He IS definitely leaning far right for the nutjob crowd. I just have to crack up at all the on/off line jokes cause of the BrokeBack Mountain jacket he's wearing in the ad. TIS

Will Romney's Attacks Backfire?As with Gingrich today, Huckabee reacted to the spots by officially refusing to go negative. Instead, he attacked Romney for going negative, and then showed reporters a campaign ad he had decided not to run attacking Romney. It worked for Huckabee. In Iowa in late 2007, the negative attacks only confirmed voters suspicions of Romney as a robot candidate without clear conviction. http://swampland.time.com/2011/12/09/mitt-romneys-return-to-negativeland/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+timeblogs%2Fswampland+%28TIME%3A+Swampland%29 EDIT - Two polls that are interesting for two different reasons. Gallup: National GOPNewt 37% Romney 23% Paul 9% Perry 6% Bachmann 6% Santorum 2% Huntsman 1% Remember that meme that Mittens has hit a ceiling? So far I've nothing to dispel it. And at the state where Mittens' Daddy was Governor... National Strategy: MichiganNewt 31% Romney 29% That primary, btw is 2/28/12.

I liked his spin today that he lost the last primary election because he was the "Conservative" candidate. He lost the last primary because he wasn't conservative enough. Unless you're anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-immigration, and pro-having kids with your first cousin, you'll never please some people.
