Why Gingrich is Bad (and Romney is Awesome): A Politico Megathread Spectacular

[Joe Republic]

Feel free to bring up any values subject with regards to the current field.

Okay.  Here's the subject of cruelty to animals:


Ron Paul - no known record of animal cruelty

Newt Gingrich - no known record of animal cruelty

Rick Perry - no known record of animal cruelty

Michele Bachmann - no known record of animal cruelty

Rick Santorum - no known record of animal cruelty

Jon Huntsman - no known record of animal cruelty

Mitt Romney - strapped his family dog to a roof rack and drove from Boston to Ontario, pausing to hose the dog down after it crapped itself from the distress

[Joe Republic]

Your misunderstanding of the events aside, that line of attack on Romney is as accurate and politically relevant as yours on Gingrich.

Well, Hitler attempt to violently overthrow the German government. That was his track record. Churchill did no such thing.

I'd say Churchill was actually rather instrumental in violently overthrowing the German government.

Yes, and obviously there is no shame in being overweight. Nobody is saying that.

I'd say it.

Well, Hitler attempt to violently overthrow the German government. That was his track record. Churchill did no such thing.

I'd say Churchill was actually rather instrumental in violently overthrowing the German government. 

But, he didn't attempt to violently overthrow the British government.

Wow, really?  I had no idea.
