I am itching for a family values debate if the Republic Party nominates Gingrinch in '12
I will concede that the Grinch is intelligent, and that he should not be treated as a vapid, vacuous opponent as we tended to view Bush. But if the Republic Party wants to talk about family family values in 2012 with this guy as their nominee, I say bring it on bitches.

Do they really think that the adulterer, twice divorced (including ditching his first wife while she had cancer) Grinch can compete with the Obama family on family values?



Puleeze.

5. Um, they ran Palin
A mother who jumped on a plane and flew from Texas to Alaska after her water broke while carrying a high risk child. She had one kid that vandalized busses and dropped out of High School and another teen daughter who got pregnant out of wedlock and is not getting married. Not to be rude but I think you are delusional if you think the Repukes hold themselves to the same values. They could run Palin with Scott Roeder and get 50 million votes.

8. He won't run and he won't get any support for the very reasons you identify.

11. They won't
Unless maybe it's so obvious that Obama will be re-elected in a landslide that maybe they'll just say, "WTF, give the jerk a shot." Otherwise, he's damaged goods--not be seriously considered for dog catcher.

12. Why? They'll just paint it as youthful indiscretion. For republicans, youth goes through the mid f
fifties.

13. Just like Henry Hyde's "youthful indescretion" in his 40's or Shrub's cocaine/alcohol abuse.
