2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Newt Gingrich: 'CNN is less biased than Fox News' [View all]whathehell
(29,067 posts)27. You're welcome.
You wanted to vote for Ron Paul because of his "strong stand on civil rights"?.
Neither he nor his son, Rand, believe the "Civil Rights Act" should have come
to fruition!....As far as they're concerned, Blacks could still be sitting at separate lunch counters.
Paul is good on foreign issues (anti-war) but he SUCKS on domestic ones...Paul believes the
constitution is essentially the equivalent of "God's word".
He's anti-choice and thinks Social Security and Medicare, among other things, should be
abolished...I'd rather vote for Romney instead of him...He is more than a "bit" nutty.
Were it up to him, government money would go to NOTHING were it not spelled out
in the Constitution, a document written two and a half centuries ago.

Newt tells us just what he thinks of the intelligence of "a high percentage of our base".

Oh no, I don't...Hillary (hell, almost anybody) is classier than Newt, not to diminish Hillary. n/t

Well, it could be, but so what? I, for one, will miss the on-going Republican primary trainwreck

Well, at least Newt and I can both agree that Fox News is a fraud of a news network.
