That blog post is a great example of just how rabid the Left can be. While giving lip service to the notion the Left is unhappy with Obama, every one of you continues to believe he is hope and change. Obama has made a mockery of the presidency and while he's a great campaigner, where he need only repeat the speeches written by a 20-something kid, when he is challenged by any true thinker his entire philosophy falls apart. Gingrich will rip him to shreds and the vast majority of Americans will enjoy watching it.

The truth is, Gingrich likes to talk in sweeping generalizations and stirring absolutes, which helps him come across like the big lofty thinker he claims to be. Everything is “fundamentally” this or “profoundly” that, not to mention “dramatic” and “transformative.” It’s an effective style in speeches and public appearances, because bombastic claims, assumptions and leaps of logic can’t be challenged. But in a debate format against a worthy opponent, unable to hide in the clouds and forced to deal with specifics and his own record, Gingrich would fold. Both Romney and Gingrich are faux candidates..........never saying anything of true substance....always looking to place themselves opposite of Obama. That is their only real position. Hell..........Romney's former advisor came out yesterday and said that Obamacare is Romneycare..........yet, Romney spends his days condemning Obamacare.
