So Republicans..Whose your guy/gal???

[Aeson]

The problem is they choose the wrong truck commercials to resemble... wow... moving letters

They should have gone this direction:

[Heraclitus]

What the hell does it have to do with the retarded 'commercial' you posted? It's Ford F-150, not some Shamwow soda.

Because to have something like that as a political add just seems really dumbed down from what a political add in my country looks like. The Ron Paul Ford inspired commercial dosen't look that different from the Idiocracy inspired commercial.

[The Mad Monk]

Obviously you're going to say that to cover your own spin, but the fact is Beck hit Gingrich in precisely the areas it would hurt. He didn't have to push hard either -- the juxtaposition of the "old" and "new" Newts told the story just fine. You don't have to be pushy or rude to get a point across.

Just in case people are missing the significance of Beck's Gingrich interview:

Tea Party's Newt Backers Are Racist: Glenn Beck

Now he says he didn't really mean it, and just wanted to get 'people to think' By Matt Cantor, Newser Staff

Posted Dec 13, 2011 9:46 AM CST

(Newser) – Glenn Beck is back in the news, this time over comments that are rankling plenty of conservatives. On Friday, Beck made a bold statement: That Newt Gingrich and Barack Obama are basically the same progressive guy, so if you're a member of the Tea Party and support Gingrich, there's only one explanation: You must be racist. "If you’ve got a big government progressive [in Gingrich] or a big government progressive in Obama, one in Newt Gingrich, one in Obama, ask yourself this, Tea Party: Is it about Obama’s race? Because that’s what it appears to be to me," he told Fox News.

"If you’re against him but you’re for this guy, it must be about race. It’s the policies that matter," Beck said, as reported at Talking Points Memo. Following the prompt furor over his comments, Beck yesterday offered some explanation on his radio show (and his website), saying he just wanted to get "people to think." "Let me be very clear," he said. "You know that the Tea Party is not racist. I know what a racist is. It diminishes the word." In other Beck news, the radio host says that if Gingrich gets the GOP nomination, he "might consider a third party" vote for Ron Paul—even though "I don’t agree with his Middle East policy at all," Mediaite reports.

Ron Paul over Newt Gingrich?
Tuesday, Dec 13, 2011 at 3:17 PM EST

As long as progressive Newt Gingrich is atop the GOP ticket the possibility of a third party run seems likely. On radio today Glenn guaranteed a third run would happen in that scenario and predicted it would likely be Ron Paul. If that were the case – who would you vote for? Ron Paul or Newt Gingrich?

Glenn invited several callers onto the program today to debate his comments regarding Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich. During a call yesterday, Glenn said:

It is really down ‑‑ for me if I had to vote, it would be a tough choice between Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum. The ‑‑ it goes to Rick Santorum. However, I just said last week, I have a gun to my head, I’ll vote for Mitt Romney and if it’s Newt Gingrich and there’s a third party and it’s Ron Paul and I don’t agree with his Middle Eastern policy at all, I might consider Ron Paul as a third party. So there’s where I stand. Pretty much all of them have been reasonable. The two big progressives are Romney, his progressivism has led right to state stuff. He claims that he wouldn’t do it nationally but Newt Gingrich will. He said ‑‑ he’s admitted it. He said it. He’s championed progressive ideas on the national level.

Now, of course this was taken as Glenn is voting for Ron Paul or he would absolutely vote for Ron Paul third party before a GOP ticket with Gingrich in the top spot. Note that he clearly said he would only “consider” the option.

Nevertheless, many listeners were upset with Glenn, claiming that he was guaranteeing an Obama victory in 2012 or putting Israel at risk.

“I disagree vehemently with Ron Paul’s foreign policy. I think his foreign policy is a danger to the country, a danger to Israel. I absolutely agree with that. But I agree with Ron Paul economically,” Glenn said.

Glenn also cited Paul’s adherence to the Constitution and small government. “Newt Gingrich is a progressive.I don’t think there’s anything I’m more against than progressives,” Glenn added.

Glenn warned that the country was headed for dark times and the during those times the country can be changed and reshaped. He said you do not want a progressive in office in that kind of event – regardless of whether it is Obama or Newt.

As for Paul’s non-interventionist foreign policy, Glenn said that people who want to help countries like Israel can continue to do so as individuals. He stressed “we are not our government.”

Glenn said that were Newt to win the nomination and Paul ran as a third party candidate, he would have to pray very hard on what he would do.

Beck has declared war on Gingrich.

Thankfully for Gingrich, since Beck got canned from Fox, no one cares what he says anymore.

[DinoDoc]

I think they might care about Newt using Democratic talking points to attack Romney and in the process failing to understand the free market.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I'm sure Newt understand the free market fairly well. He's just being a politician.

SERIOUSLY? A major issue in this election is a country on the other side of the world with 7 million people in it? Are you ****ing kidding me?

You need some perspective, gribbler, and understand that not everyone is created equal. Anyone got the exchange rate for Jews to Americans? I know Jew/Palestinian is 1:1000

Obama. It's too late to fix anything, so might as well get to the revolution as fast as possible.

Only one of the (R)s is a fiscal conservative. And he's crazy. He's also feared by the media so gets no airtime.

If we could replace all of DC with copies of Bill Still and Judge Napolitano, this country might have a chance. Nobody else will admit that spending needs to be cut by 50% (including entitlements)

[jerseys4kids]

The only Republican candidate that isn't totally insane is Ron Paul! Michelle Bachmann wan't to make masturbation illegal, and I find that a little scary ..

I assume that "significant" policies would include the resulting WWIII, national bankruptcy, and domestic marshal law. Cause both parties are heading right down all three of those policy roads. Ron Paul is the only exception.

But by all means, continue to fiddle and play the petty game of saving party face. You can smile and wink while you pose for Republican Party pictures at summer FEMA camp.

The reality is Ron Paul wouldn't get to enact any of his radical agenda because no one in Congress will go along with it not even the teabaggers.

[jerseys4kids]

I used to think Ron Paul was one of the good guys, after listening him talk about foreign policy .. but after hearing him talk about religion, he is just another zealot ..

I think the USA has got to be the only developed country where Politicians can openly admit that they don't believe in evolution. If you said that in Canada, Australia, UK .. people would laugh and tell you to go back to school!

[Zevico]

Australia had a political party, Family First, whose members tended towwards creationism. It is hardly a sin.

[C0ckney]

family first are a fringe party whose support is measured in low single digits. their situation is nothing like that of the republicians.
