Re: Newt to Suspend Campaign on May 1!

My husband always says that when you "assume" it makes a *donkey* out of you and me. I disagree. I think when you assume, you only make yourself look foolish. If you aren't sure about meaning, ask. If you aren't sure about motive, ask. A lot is lost in print that wouldn't be missed IRL with faces, gestures and tone. It pays to get clarification before you response with all guns blazing.

PO, you owe me an apology for calling me a liar. Until then, you and I are finished talking.

THAT POST WASN'T EVEN DIRECTED AT YOU!!!! How can you possibly put this one with the first post to come up with some MOTIVE? Of COURSE this thread is about Newt.

Wow. Deacon is the one who mentioned the commercial. NOT ME.

Narcissism much?

Okay, NOW I'm done. Unless I change my mind.

Good. I wanted you to get that message really quick. You don't open a thread like that and act like you did by addressing someone that supported a particular candidate and then tell them you were making a "funny". How retarded of an explanation is that?

Some of us that support our candidates are behind the scenes interacting with a lot of people and we get really close. You should think about that.

And, yes, I did respond with ice and nails. So, lesson learned - don't put your smiles in my face. I will respond to it.

You can call me an "a**" if you want. I got an infraction for calling someone a smart donkey. Are you going to get an infraction or do you get a pass for being an Admin? I'm not apologizing to you.

I think he just ran out of money and inspiration. Sad, he would have been a good president. He waited I'm sure just to see if he would pick up any wins Tuesday. Had he won one or two I believe we would see different headlines today and possibly a shift. In my opinion the media elected Slick Mitt long before the primaries started. And we all know the donations will go to the one with the most media. Not like Mitt needed donations to begin with. The presidency will be decided the same way, who has the most money.

Personally, Perry or Cain would have gotten my vote, but the last few that were left standing has left me depressed. I know that not voting is a vote for Obama, but I have never bought into the whole voting being a responsibility bit. So I will probably sit this one out. After all, God sets up who He wills and takes them down, regardless of my vote.

I agree with that. Mitt is simply a slick politician in my book. I don't think he has a halo over his head. He does lean conservatively, but enough to suit my tastes. It says a lot that the media has paved his way so easily.

I wish Cain could have panned out. I would like to say I'm disappointed in him as a person, but he hasn't responded enough to his scandals to really give anyone a clear picture of what transpired. That probably means he's guilty on all points, or that he's saving his side of the story for a book.

I do feel frustrated and helpless about the political process. I feel responsible for my vote, but I have a hard time really believing my vote matters.
