Logic rears it's ugly head though, and it is clear that neither Bachman or Palin have what it takes to actually do what needs to be done. Gingrich has what it takes, but he rubs everybody in the room the wrong way. Kinda like petting the cat backwards. Gingrich, logically, is the best for the job, but there is absolutely no sentiment behind him.


It's too bad, because Gingrich is actually brilliant about 98% of the time. Unfortunately, he has these 2% moments when he plays the wrong card, like when he tried to excuse his infidelity by claiming "god" forgave him for his philandering. Associating himself with flakes like James Dobson isn't exactly a winning strategy either.


Gingrich has problems well beyond his association with Dobson. Indeed, there is a significant base that thinks associating oneself with Dobson is a good thing.



If you were a politician, would you associate too closely with someone who turns religion into a big business? If Dobson's "base" thinks that's a good thing, they aren't real smart, and they sure as hell aren't holy, although they imagine themselves to be.


You're not making any sense anymore. You started out pretty good, but you've lost it.
