What absolute horse****. I guess he somehow had you convinced.

More gullible than the average liberal?

I suppose from the point of view of a sour old right-wing racist like
you, Newt Gingrich represents the center.

JohnH is among the dim bulbs here, besides his racism.

I went to see Obama at the Seattle Opera House more than a year before
he announced his run. I was impressed. My wife asked what I liked
about him and I said "that he's most interested in working on problems
that 80% of us agree on, and after these years of Bush, it'd be nice
if we could work on what matters to both sides and quit the
bickering."

I was naive thinking the Republicans would see any merit in getting
along.

Told you what you wanted to hear. What a surprise. Politicians put an
ear close to polls, surveys, and public sentiment and have their
speeches written for them in light of same. I'm shocked that an
intellectual like you isn't aware of political story telling.
