Gingrich
« on: April 13, 2012, 12:57:51 AM »
A really good friend of mine seems to think Gingrich still has a shot at derailing Romney, now that Santorum is out.

Much as I don't like Romney, and in some ways would prefer Gingrich, he's still not that much better (AGW, the couch thing with Pelosi, etc).  Regardless I just don't see how he has any hope of doing anything other than racking up more campaign debt and pissing off ever more people with his arrogant refusal to call it a day.

Thoughts?

Your friend is even more delusional than Gingrich.

I suggest he cut back on the hallucinogens.

Rooster summed it up quite nicely. Gingrich just has a shot of up'ing his paycheck as guest commentator, author, etc by doing some attention prostituting. That's about it.

Bases on the moon are frankly the more reasonable thing that Gingrich "Leader of the civilizing forces" espouses.

We could've already had bases on the moon - something tangible - if our government didn't back off the space program and divert trillions down the rathole of welfare giveaways.  :mad:
