  • Political Absurdity

    I am amazed at the current direction the Republican voters seem to be taking. To be sure, their selection of the right candidate to face Barak Obama in the 2012 presidential election has been dominated by a mostly not-very-serious group, but the sudden upsurge in support for Newt Gingrich is startling to say the least.
    Gingrich is a fairly corrupt politician - formally censored by the Congress itself for ethical reasons a few years ago - who is noted for his cynical and rather nasty attitude toward voters [He apparently regards them much like Bismarck did, as sheep to be led wherever he chose].
    He has lied about his current lobbying efforts and certainly has no feeling for the plight of the currently unemployed - though he did suggest letting schoolchildren become "janitors helpers".
