“What happened here was the accumulated karmic backlash of forty years’ worth of Establishment Democrats telling the Activist Left that they were the vanguard of, and spokesmen for, a broad American populist movement. For the longest time, such lies were simply an accepted part of the public policy debate; mostly because the country had no yardstick by which to judge the Left’s turnout and activities.
“But then came the Tea Parties — which showed people what a real American populist movement looks like, and what it can do — and its success stung the Activist Left at the exact moment that Scott Walker came along and not unreasonably decided that if he was elected on a platform of doing certain things, he had best start doing them. This infuriated the Left, but not as much as the refusal of Walker and the WI GOP to go weak-kneed at the first sign of push-back. So… the recall movement was born!
“And… fizzled. The Left should have cut their losses when Prosser demonstrated that drum circles and illegal indoor camping in the Rotunda didn’t translate into votes… and they definitely should have cut their losses when the first wave of recalls didn’t live up to the hype. But they didn’t, and now the people of Wisconsin are increasingly demonstrating that they’re tired of all of this – and they’re not blaming the Republicans, either. Such a shame, but that’s what you get whe- hey! The bacon’s fully cooked.”

Agreed– unless he openly renounces his little “park bench affair” with the Zombie Queen, they will use it as mud to sling against him if he becomes the nominee– better to defuse it now before it becomes explosive later– it isn’t so much WHO he “sat on the park bench” with, as WHAT he said on that bench– advocating government regulation of something that is NONEXISTENT, purely to acquire MORE power for the government to lord over citizens with.
It is because Newt called FDR his favorite or the “best President,” that I am having cold shivers about him. FDR was a flaming Progressive. He really liked the Solviets. His administration was full of Solviets, spies rather, Communists, and on and on. Read Ann coulter’s book, “Treason”.
I understand that Newt is mean enough to “do what has to be done.” (Fred Thompson and Pamela Geller.) but FDR??? I cannot come to terms with that at all. I am going to stick with Santorum for now.
