— Ace The Todd Palin endorsement.
I don't know all of his reasons for backing Gingich, but the one he's offered so far is Palinocentric.
[H]e said he respects Gingrich for what he went through in the 1990s and compared that scrutiny in public life to what Sarah Palin went through during her run for the vice presidency....
Todd Palin did point to last summer, when a large portion of GingrichÂ’s staff resigned and the candidate was left, largely by himself, to run the campaign.
Gingrich’s ability to overcome the obstacle and still move up in the polls showed his ability to campaign and survive, according to Todd Palin, who said Gingrich is not one of the typical “beltway types” and that his campaign has “burst out of the political arena and touched many Americans.”

There will probably be a yelling-and-throwing-things argument between Todd and Sarah, followed by hot angry sex.

I for one congratulate her and Todd on playing such a vital role in the process we as Republicans and conservatives are currently engaged in.
(Ok, that's a little much coming from me but I'm taking the Churchill "If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons" approach)

I strongly doubt the first part, because Sarah came out and agreed with the MSM postulation that "Obama WANTS to run against Romney".
But I absolutely agree with the second part.
And good on both of them, if that's the case.

If the actual leaders of the party, instead of their relatives, would like to unify the effing conservatives behind a single dad gum candidate, that would be nice.
If Newt, that's not my first choice, but I understand why folks would hesitate with my first choice who appears to be unelectable for reasons I do not really grasp.

I'd like to see Sarah endorse Perry, but it seems likely that, if she hasn't seen fit to do so by now, she isn't endorsing anyone.
Posted by: snort! at January 09, 2012 09:29 AM (K/USr)
Yeah that's what you want to say about Newt that he has "touched many Americans" I'd think he'd be trying to de-emphasize that.

And if you ask me, anyone who thinks Newt is a "Beltway outsider" should be ignored.
By the way, you know where Newt's people went when they resigned en masse? To Perry!
Hmmm. Then Perry started to fall in the polls and Newt started to rise.
I think maybe Perry should take a look at his staff.

Maybe Todd is smart enough not to reject someone over an isolated heresy (that indeed was stupid) because beggars can't be choosy in this primary.
Also, if they were really evaluating these guys for reform potential, Sarah would have endorsed Perry months ago. But his running forced her not to run, so I guess that's no good. It was partly her supposed irritation at Perry's corruption (never demonstrated) that took the wind right out of his sails.

Now, what word contains all these letters? That's right, "palomino"!

I'm leaning more towards liability, but that's just MHO.
If Palin wants to truly help the conservative cause, she should probably withdraw from public life for a while, spend some time in the political wilderness as to reestablish some credibility. But I could be wrong on that too.

That's the version in the koran I think.
Posted by: Buzzsaw at January 09, 2012 10:14 AM (tf9Ne)
In 1 Corinthians 7:2-5 Paul advises, "Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency." Essentially this says that neither partner in a marriage has a right to deny sex with the other, except if they both make a mutual agreement to abstain for a specified period of time for prayer and fasting. This means a short time, because it is not likely one would or could reasonably continue a real fast for long periods. If he is eating meals then Paul says he should not deny you. One would be tempted to say "deny any reasonable request for sex," but Paul doesn't even put that limitation.
