Sarah Palin and Mark Levin are both pointing out that the current spate of attacks against Gingrich are dishonest, deplorable, cannibalistic, and as bad as the worst we usually expect only from the media.

What’s a worse sentence than raping and killing a woman? Distributing music and videos, of course.
High school teacher refuses to accept MLK award because it’s being handed out by Republican Paul Ryan. You think he’s even aware that MLK was a Republican?
Rand Simberg weighs in. Gingrich is not being unrealistic, and Romney is being depressingly bureaucratic and old-school.
Pretty neat, actually. Brewery, hydroponics, tilapia, mushroom farming…
Yeah, that’s what I think too. They’ve thrown behind Romney so much, and tossed Newt out such that he actually IS an outsider. Ironic, to say the least. And like so many others, it raises Newt in my eyes, and sinks Mitt.
In case you didn’t notice yesterday, the establishment GOP does not like Newt Gingrich – and some of them, such as Elliot Abrams, are completely willing to slander his record with dishonesty. But it’s the age of the internet! We can fact check such things and discover just how big of liers they all are.
Look, I’m all for seeing as much critiques of our candidates as possible. I want this race to be a real race (which is why I want Newt or Santorum to win Florida – If Romney wins, I think he’s got too many states in the bag later on, between VA, IL, and others for anyone else to catch up). But slanderous attacks that have little to no basis in facts just make the attacker look bad. Keep it honest so we can see our candidates respond with real strength, or not.
In spiders. Each of their compound eyes can see depth, if I understand what’s going on correctly. Very cool – I wonder if Mantis Shrimp have the same thing.
This.
Oh, and every public official responsible should have their name tarnished by the case.
Surprisingly, I’m not talking about his Keystone Pipeline decision. It turns out that all the dollars he’s feeding to Brazil’s oil industry are going to ship the oil to China as well.
Surprisingly, the issue was electability. Here’s the analysis, which is rather interesting.
Reactions to Newt’s big space speech seem to be all over the place, with the more gracious seeing it as ambitious, but still not understanding how we can afford to go to space or the moon when we have such an amazing budgetary problem already. While I certainly can’t speak to exactly how Newt would adjust NASA’s budget, I can say that Newt has been a huge proponent of the commercial space sector/New Space. This movement, lead by visionary, agile companies such as SpaceX and Armadillo Aerospace, is not your father’s Apollo era NASA agency. SpaceX is launching to space at a fraction the cost of the old era of rockets, and has announced that they don’t need NASA dollars to survive. Armadillo, Blue Origin, and the like are simultaneously set on going to space not for the purposes of NASA, but because they want to and because they see profit to be made. Profits – space is worth Billions of dollars, just from communication, GPS, and observation purposes, and that will all multiply tremendously when payloads become cheap enough for pharmaceutical companies to grow proteins in space for R&D.
Back to Gingrich: Every time he mentions space, he always mentions the commercial and private sector, and a NASA that is lean and efficient, coordinating government space interests through full use of the new space sector. While he might very well propose increasing NASA’s budget, all of his big plans for space are almost certainly based on a much more efficiently spent dollar, and a trip to the moon does not necessarily mean the huge bureaucratic expenditures of previous eras. Yes, we can go to the moon and trim the budget – likely even NASA’s budget.
Because for this man it is. And if you believe he should go to prison, do you believe the Bitcoin creator also should?
The last one charged was just exonerated after pleading to a misdemeanor. All other marines involved have previously been cleared. The Democrats were entirely wrong, and showed just how much they actually respect the military.
Found drunk and passed out after driving. How likely is it he doesn’t resign, or even face a challenger next election?
About Obama’s SOTU last night – it was pretty much the same speech he’s given exactly before. And no matter how much we increase taxes on the rich to “make things fair”, it still doesn’t explain how we can solve our problem, since we’re spending more than all the rich people in our country even have.
Meanwhile, Mitch Daniels had a great Republican response, and Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson also has some good commentary.
