Music Head Wrote:not sure what you meant by cheaters
if you mean unfaithful to their spouses, Newt certainly qualifies.
Mitt, I have heard nothing of that. He and his wife have been married for 40+ years.
Sorry, I did not mean love life but how they got to their political career. They both did some bribing in the way to be where they are.
But you are right on personal life, Newt cheated on his wife two times. Newt will suffer for sleeping with other women.

Gingrich will close in a little after the Southern States primaries in May or June ...that's when your home state of Kentucky will vote, MH ?
What's the difference between The Florida Primary and The Nevada Caucuses if any ?...is it just semantics ?

States are voting from Jan to June
By the time Apr-Jun gets here it has already been decided, leading to a low vote turnout in those states.
A primary is actual voting.
A caucus is always a lower turnout.
People meet at designated sites and have to listen to speeches from supporters of each candidate.
A long drawn out process, which most voters pass on.
Then they have secret meetings amongst themselves to decide where to put their support.
Only a few states have them.

Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich are at war and that is only helpful for President Obama. If I am a Republican, I would tell these two candidates to tone it down because Obama can use this conflict to prove how bad Republicans can be.

And in the end Newt will be up there raising Mitt's arm before or after Mitt's victory speech at the podium in Tampa in August...lol...gotta love it !...politics !

Africa is (and always has been) the raw materials store of the world. The Vatican is on the way out - even with all the credit card companies it owns - just a matter of time. The Arab world is in turmoil - hell we have to find some way to ensure that all that oil comes our way so we destabilise it. Doing the same thing to that part of the world that they did to Africa. What's new....
China is the new master. Yes it has it's own troubles too, but it is the only one that is financially solvent. And that means it has power - whether we like it or not.

Gee, all that conventional wisdom. The fact that you have presented what is conventionally held by most ill informed people marks you out as not a deep thinker. Nothing will turn out as you predict. Nostradamus you are not. Turn off the computer, get off the internet and read something that will broaden your mind. You might start with Plato. The world is not really a conspiracy mill.
