Sort of a "re-post" with a kicker.
McCain endorses Romney and now Cain endorses Gingrich.
Cain and McCain, would you vote based on what either of them recommend?

Newt, even his friends don't like him.
In the last few days Bob Dole calls Gingrich a “a one-man-band who rarely took advice” and whose ideas were mostly “off the wall" and Mike Huckabee has condemned the use of his words in a Newt ad saying "Any use of an out of context quote from the Republican Presidential primary 4 years ago in a political ad to advocate for the election or defeat of another candidate is not authorized, approved or known in advance by me. "

WOW, WOWIE, WOW WOW!
After watching the President present his state of the Union, I watched the "Republican Response" by Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana.
Listening carefully or reading the text of this response, one might think Daniels' speech was either a condemnation of his own party or an endorsement of Obama, his goals and his agenda.
Huff Post Mitch Daniels Response To State Of The Union: Text
For instance:
"The President did not cause the economic and fiscal crises that continue in America tonight."
"Decades ago, for instance, we could afford to send millionaires pension checks and pay medical bills for even the wealthiest among us. Now, we can't, so the dollars we have should be devoted to those who need them most."
"we also must work, in ways we Republicans have not always practiced, to bring Americans together."
"A second view, which I admit some Republicans also seem to hold, is that we Americans are no longer up to the job of self-government."
Yes, these are small snippets of his response, but the entirety is clear, other than petty partisanship and negativity, Daniels has nothing to offer or suggest to solve the problems this country faces.
Just complaining that you do not like the way the President suggests solving a problem is not sufficient.
Just bashing the slow economic recovery is ridiculous, especially when Republican divisiveness has constrained the growth.
Just complaining that the government might take away your rights by by setting energy policy controlling the use of incandescent bulbs is nothing more than silly scare tactics.

Hey, I don't even have to write anything today. Just cut and paste 2 headlines from the NY Times.
"Romney’s Tax Returns Show $21.6 Million Income in ’10"
(for which he paid an effective taxe rate of 13.9%)
and
"Romney Sidesteps Immigration Talk in Florida"
(only days after he took a tough stance against illegal immigration in South Carolina)
Can anyone say "selfserving"?

There are more Republican debates on TV than there are reruns of the Big Bang Theory. Tonight's comedy includes:
Rick Santorum thinks the Taliban want to use Cuba as a base to attack the US.
Newt thinks we should use "all available recources" to remove Castro "like Reagan and Thatcher did with the Soviet Union"
Ron Paul thinks blockading the Straight of Hormuz is an act of war on the part of the United States. (and that a response from Iran would therefor in essence be a legitimate response.)
and as usual, Mitt, well Mitt thinks whatever he thinks he should think at that moment.

In 1997 the House of Representatives had a Republican majority, therefore a Republican Speaker. It was in this 105th House that, for the first time in its history, that the Speaker was reprimanded and ordered to pay a $300,000 penalty for ethical wrongdoing. The vote was 395 to 28, with 189 Republicans voting AGAINST their own party member.
It was only 1 month earlier that this same Speaker admitted that he had discredited the House and broken its rules.
Yes, Newt, who is now claims to be champion of ethics, was that Speaker.
So, the short list:
1) Newt has a long history of multiple affairs and spouses.
2) Newt is the ONLY Speaker so dishonored.
3) Newt has a long history of abusing his position to aid his donors and supporters (just think of his millions on income from Freddie Mac for "providing historical perspective.")
How does Newt's past elevate him to being the model of ethical behavior?
(As an aside, one of Newt's strongest supporters during the ethics debate in 1997 was (now) convicted felon former Republican House Speaker Tom Delay. Maybe if Newt wins the nomination, he can bring in the Texas vote by making De Lay his running mate.)
