The Regatta

Good one, Clay, and a very accurate description of Romney's status.

If you really want a blowhard who can move the boat, get Newt to blow on the sail.

The biggest blowhard of all is BLOWBAMA. Damn good at reading from totus, but he's got no clue. Biden's a close second.

Looks like Toonboy is already on Christmas break and he is just phoning them in, however I’m sure his mom loved it.

The right-wingers keep scraping the bottom of the barrel to pick anyone but the one only one who has a chance of beating Obama in 2012. But hey, won't catch me complaining. It's better than a three-ring circus.

Betcha $10,000.00 Romney runs out of breath soon! Hee Hee.

tu_Oedipus... Why would his relationship with his mother enter your mind? Would it be fair for him to say that your mother liked it more? Or would that depend on what the definition of it is?

What's missing is Mr & Mrs Gingrich sailing by on a Greek cruise!!

Toonboys mommy, or his handlers at the TFP, must be afraid Romney's moving up in the polls. GOP front-runner bashing has been ordered by the suits.

Actually toonboys handlers saw today's poll that Romney would fair better against King Kenyan in the election, so they have to try to get Newt elected. Tricky boys.

Looks like Clayduh! is following orders, yet again.

"whatsnottaken said... Actually toonboys handlers saw today's poll that Romney would fair better against King Kenyan in the election, so they have to try to get Newt elected. Tricky boys."

Neither Romney nor Newt poses a problem for President Barack Obama. The extremist wing of the Republican party is most responsible for decimating Romney's campaign because they know he's the king of flip-floppers and they don't trust him. The extremists are also the ones who are currently responsible for the surge of Gingrich's campaign. Evidently the fact Gingrich is a liar and a cheat does not seem to bother them because he's NOT Romney.
Romney will have to take the gloves off if he intends to beat Gingrich and send Newt back for another shopping spree at Tiffany's or on another Greek Cruise. It won't be pretty but it will have to be done if Romney expects to win in the primaries. Newt likes his current status so he won't go quietly for Romney. Dems don't have to do anything. It will be like watching a National Geographic show on human cannibals. Disgusting but definitely fascinating.

As for your comment calling President Obama "King Kenyan",is this based on your knowledge of his lineage? You see he's already made a fool of ignorant birthers. So one must assume you have knowledge of his father's lineage. Some Americans can certainly trace their lineage back to royalty. It certainly is nice to know based on your comment that our President can do the same.

The One Trick Pony strikes again.

IF newt gets the nomination,by the time the gen.election rolls around he will have obama lookin like a babblin idjit!! newt is the only horse in this race that can take control and BE in charge and RUN THE COUNTRY! BE A LEADER!! THE U.S.A. cannot survive 4 more years of barack obama!PERIOT !

I've been wondering about Newt's Tiffany account.

Was it just for bobbles for the Mrs or was it some kind of money laundering arrangement!!

hey hambone! after readin your posts on here for the last 3 mo's. i figured you spent most of your time wonderin about where your a$$ was!BTW: i got a huntin dog you can borrow when you get serious about findin it!!lol!

2010′s most bewitching political figure, former GOP Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell, is adding her involvement to the political circus surrounding the GOP primary presidential contest. The failed Senate candidate announced her endorsement of Mitt Romney last night and took to CNN’s American Morning to trumpet his many qualifications, one of them apparently being “consistency.” When host Carol Costello noted how the GOP’s designated flip-flopper has actually “changed his mind” quite a bit on important issues, O’Donnell offered this analysis: “That’s one of the things I like about him, because he’s been consistent since he changed his mind.” ROFLMAO!

As I said before, I can hear you humming from up here but I just can't make out what you're trying to say. It's probably that obstruction in your communication orifice. You did rinse and spit before you kiss your "friend" with that mouth. Didn't you???

"hambone said... I've been wondering about Newt's Tiffany account.

It appears Newt had two accounts at Tiffany's . According to the records he had one between 2005-2006 with a credit line of $250,000-500,000. Of course for a place like Tiffany's that's not very much. One or two purchases and that could eat up his line of credit. However, somewhere along the way he got a new line of credit that ranged from $500,000-1,000,000. It supposedly was paid in full and is now closed. Again, for a place like Tiffany's it could be used up rather quickly. This is kinda like the $10,000 bet Romney was willing to wage with Perry the other night. The average guy just wouldn't have $10,000 to throw away on a bet just as the average guy wouldn't have a million dollar line of credit at Tiffany's. Maybe the money Newt used to pay it in full came from the $1.6 million he was paid by Freddie Mac for his consultation fees. LOL.

You just gotta love it when these guys attempt to portray themselves as just ordinary people concerned about the Middle Class. Or when people like Donald Trump says he's a successful businessman but forgets to tell just how many of his so-called businesses have gone bankrupt. Or Mitt Romney talking about creating jobs then omits the part about the number of people who were layed off from his company. Yep, this is definitely a fun show to watch.

Michael Savage offered Gingrich a Million dollars to drop out of the race. Savage is a Conservative radio host. I wonder why he would make such an offer if Newt is so popular and such a formidable opponent against Barack Obama? LOL

What kind of racist comment is that? Who are you to make such a value judgement on other people's cultures? Typical Fleabagging Progressive.

Look at Mittens lips. Yea that’s what they're meant for - Blowing. C’mere big fella.

Two years ago, I could have sworn Romney would doom the Republicans. But the GOP has morphed into the party of hateful, bigoted, greedy, and fearful idiots (it's all that's left after the few actual conservatives left). It's really no surprise that the GOP primaries have turned into a constant stream of candidates doing and saying ever more retarded, inflammatory nonsense in desperate efforts to stay in the limelight. The candidates are after all just adapting to their constituency. The real trick is figuring out when the candidates are just pandering (to which Romney wrote the book) and when they actually believe the crap they spew. Anyway, Mitt Robot worships the wrong sky daddy. Whaddaya gonna do now? Hmm but then again, since Mitt Robot unleashed the Kraken (Ann Coulter) other Republicans may cower, say nice things and overlook his ‘cult worship’. Ha ha ha.

Unless Ron Paul pulls a rabbit out of his hat or goes independent, you’re going to get Mitt Robot – and like it. Ooh boy – Mitt Romney or Obomber. What joke. What an unbelievably bad joke.

I’ll take Ron Paul any day.

You evidently enjoy race baiting whenever given the opportunity. There was nothing racial about my statement as it pertained to the Republican primary debacle. I will say again watching the current battle between the extremist wing of the Republican Party and the so-called establishment wing of the party is disgusting but definitely as fascinating as a National Geographic show on human cannibals. The Repubs are eating each other. Even Glen Beck is telling Gingrich to get out of the race. That alone is priceless!! LOL The Dems don't have to do anything but sit back and watch the carnage. LOL

What the toon doesn't show is Wacky Baracky's dingy trailing Mitt's and taking on water. Of course Wacky has a solution to that by dilling a hole in the bottom to let the water out.

Would anyone like a loaf of bread with that side order of Newt? I can't wait to read what Newt's people are going to say about Romney. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700206642/Michael-Savage-Glenn-Beck-going-hard-at-Newt-Gingrich.html Writing on his website Monday, Savage pulled no punches in excoriating Gingrich. "In a presidential debate against Obama, regardless of how well (Gingrich) does, on television he will come off badly compared to Obama and look like nothing more than what he is: a fat, old, white man. Newt Gingrich is unelectable. Mitt Romney is the only candidate with a chance of defeating Barack Obama, and there is nothing more important than that." Ever the provocateur, Beck wasn't satisfied with merely blasting Gingrich on Fox News last week. Not only did he paint the former House speaker as a liberal-in-disguise, but Beck also went as far as to insinuate that any tea party adherent who backs Gingrich but loathes Obama is a racist. "You look at (Gingrich's) record, you read his words … this man is a progressive, he knows he is a progressive," Beck told Fox News' Judge Napolitano. "So if you've got a big government progressive 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. If you're against (Obama) but you're for (Gingrich), it must be about race."

Yea, So did the Morello’s, the Gambino’s, the Genovese’s, the Bush’s, the Cheney’s et al. You equate corruption with success. What a stooge. What a maroon (thanks Bugs). If Newt Gingrich said, “The beatings will stop when moral improves.” You’d be cheering and squealing like a teenage girl – kneeling in front of him, in the same position, and with the same face as Mitt Romney does in Clay’s cartoon.

Jesse,

At this juncture, the only one with the backbone to face down the current cabal of political criminals is Ron Paul. If elected he would surely (I hope) use the bully pulpit to great effect. Is he electable with the today's Republican Party? Not likely, but could very well be elected if a viable third party existed.

Unfortunately I stand by my earlier statement, “Unless Ron Paul pulls a rabbit out of his hat or goes independent, you’re going to get Mitt Robot – and like it. Ooh boy – Mitt Romney or Obomber. What joke. What an unbelievably bad joke.”

25% of the GOP wants Romney; the other 75% wants anyone but a RINO. So Romney is going nowhere--I agree with Clay for a change--and the other nonRomneys having fizzled, Newt will be our nominee. And since Obama and his liberalism have failed, Newt will win. He may not be much smarter, but some of his ideas, unlike liberalism, are workable. His record is better: he balanced a budget instead of enlarging a huge deficit, his economy didn't get worse, and he got welfare reform through with some help from the other big party. The party of Clinton and the Kennedys has no moral stature to complain of his three marriages. He'll improve the country somewhat, as Reagan improved it somewhat after the Carter disaster. He'd better pick a better Veep than Reagan picked, though. Any ideas?

You're dreaming. Gingrich is only edging out Romney in two early-voting states. That in no manner suggests that Gingrich is going to be nominated.

If anything, the polls suggest that the Republican voters are more divided than ever.

"So Romney is going nowhere--I agree with Clay for a change--and the other nonRomneys having fizzled, Newt will be our nominee."

That's not going to happen.

"And since Obama and his liberalism have failed, Newt will win."

That's not going to happen either. So much can happen in the eleven months leading up to the election. The President hasn't even begun to campaign yet.

"He may not be much smarter, but some of his ideas, unlike liberalism, are workable."

Yeah, his suggestion to put school age kids to work cleaning bathrooms was a doozy alright.

"His record is better: he balanced a budget instead of enlarging a huge deficit, his economy didn't get worse, and he got welfare reform through with some help from the other big party."

You're bearing false witness again. His budget bills were shot down twice by Clinton because they had deficit spending in them.

"The party of Clinton and the Kennedys has no moral stature to complain of his three marriages."

I know of no Democrat who was cheating on his wife at the time that they were prosecuting Clinton for doing the same thing and Gingrich will forever be remembered for serving divorce papers on his first wife while she was battling cancer in a hospital room.

"He'll improve the country somewhat, as Reagan improved it somewhat after the Carter disaster. He'd better pick a better Veep than Reagan picked, though. Any ideas?"

Newt Gingrich will never be elected President. Ask Mike Savage about his chances.

Donald Trump seems to be about the only person talking up Gingrich these days. Talk about a pair of incredible candidates. Sheesh.

Why don’t you give us a short description of that plan and provide any criticism you have of it.

“His budget bills were shot down twice by Clinton because they had deficit spending in them.”

If Clinton was shooting down budgets because they had deficit spending in them why did every budget during his term contain deficit spending?

“I know of no Democrat who was cheating on his wife at the time that they were prosecuting Clinton for doing the same thing and Gingrich will forever be remembered for serving divorce papers on his first wife while she was battling cancer in a hospital room.”

How convenient that you phrased it as “I KNOW of no Democrat”

Clinton was charged with lying to a federal court but I don’t recall Gingrich having been so charged.

Gingrich did not serve divorce papers to his wife in a hospital as they were served months before.

Gingrich’s wife was not being treated for cancer as she was only having a benign tumor removed.

The Budget bills that were signed by President Clinton during the years 1998 - 2001 were indeed balanced and in fact had surpluses totaling $236.2 billion in them.

"Gingrich did not serve divorce papers to his wife in a hospital as they were served months before."

You're half right and I am half wrong.

According to his ex-wife, who had only granted one interview in all these years, Gingrich took the opportunity to discuss his desire to divorce her while she lay in that hospital bed, and in front of their two children.

[She] said in the 1985 interview that her husband’s desire for a divorce came as "a complete surprise" to her, but Gingrich was quoted in the same story as saying the two had talked about divorce "off and on since 1969." Asked if he had handled the matter in an insensitive manner, Gingrich told the Post: "All I can say is when you been talking about divorce for 11 years and you’ve gone to a marriage counselor, and the other person doesn’t want the divorce, I’m not sure there is any sensitive way to handle it."

Gingrich hasn't come clean about the incident. He has admitted to merely having an argument with her at the time. Nothing more. The details of what was actually discussed remain cloudy, to say the least.

Source: http://www.factcheck.org/2011/12/the-gingrich-divorce-myth/

"Gingrich’s wife was not being treated for cancer as she was only having a benign tumor removed."

She was in the hospital for her third surgery related to uterine cancer. She underwent chemotherapy for cancer on at least one previous occasion. It is unclear if that was the case on that day. She was there for a third surgery involving the removal of a tumor that turned out to be benign.

Newt served divorce papers on his second wife shortly after she was diagnosed with a neurological condition that might be a "forerunner of multiple sclerosis.

I think there is no need to continue the Gingrich line of debate as I have proved my two points and you have for all practical purposes acceded to them. However the Bill Clinton question is still very much up in the air.

You stated that:

And gave this source:

I think that you and Factcheck are both wrong and that you may want to refrain from putting to much faith in these supposedly “nonpartisan and fair” fact check web sites. I think that I can prove this fairly easily and quickly.

Answer this question.

Is there a balanced or surplus budget in any year that the national debt increases and if you answer in affirmative do make your case for that possibility?
