Serrano - are you talking about the 1st or the 2nd marriage that Newt bailed on for someone else?

Has anyone else noticed how conservatives on JT never talk about policies?
JT conservatives never talk about policies because the candidates they support don't have any (besides 'NO!', of course.)
No, conservatives would much rather let their thoughts about who should lead their country into the future be guided by which GOP candidate can spit most on 'mainstream media,' be most pro-life, make disrespectful comebacks at a debate moderator, or who talks junk about 'protecting the border' - **everything except the thing they talk about the most but do absolutely NOTHING about - creating jobs. **
One could almost be forgiven for thinking that conservatives from the top to the bottom don't give a rat's a*se about creating jobs, and let's be honest - they don't.

I wonder what the GOP nominee is going to say when they get 100 million dollar super pac'ed by the Dems, every week for 10 weeks in a row?
Newt, of course, is. unelectable. He ran away from his last elected office before he could be impeached and imprisoned for perjury, abuse of office, and tax fraud.
Or are those the new GOP values? :-)

No, that'd be the one where the Right got shellacked by Obama and his buddies, thanks in no small part to the other idiot from Texas, GWB. :-)

TumbleDry - "Give the mistress and impeachment a rest."
Ironically, it was Newt who was going at Clinton tooth and nail.

SmithinJapan - "This really is quite funny to watch."
"quite funny"?? It's freaking hilarious, even without Sarah Palin. :-)
This election cycle on the Right is even funnier than the last one.

Personally, I'm not concerned about Newt's character because I don't feel that he, or any of the GOP candidates have any.
But Newt knows full well that there is never an excuse for bad behavior until you get caught, then the justifications never end. This is another fundamental policy in the life of a dyed-in-the-wool hypocrite.
Interestingly, Newt is the same man who lead the charge to have Bill Clinton impeached, while Newt himself had a full-time mistress.
Also interesting is how Newt played the victim card right off the bat. I wonder who told him to do that? I'm guessing he's been on the phone to another well-known conservative up in Wasilla this week. HE is appalled and disgusted by the media? If he hadn't thrown his wives aside like so much garbage in the first place, he wouldn't be facing these allegations.
Thanks to the Internet and mobile media, dregs like him can't get away with as much anymore.

Conservatives are finally realizing what Global Liberals have known for months - that Rick Perry never had a chance and was a compete joke candidate from the day he entered the race.
His run may have even fatally damaged his govenorship as many Texans have now seen - on the national stage - what a loser they elected.
"Gingrich’s campaign faced its own jolt just as new polls showed him rising: his second ex-wife says Gingrich asked for an “open marriage” in which he could have both a wife and a mistress, in a TV interview scheduled to air Thursday night."
OK, Rush Limbaugh said that in contrast to Bill Clinton, at least Newt 'had the courtesy' to ask his then wife for an open marriage (pretty weird comparison since Clinton was having an affair - quite different, in degrees only).
What also wasn't funny was a day after Newt asked his then wife for an open marriage, he gave a speech in front of a female audience about the importance familiy values.
Besides the eye-watering hypocrisyof that, he has been described as saying what he says in public and what he does inprivate do not have to be connected.
The GOP clown show rolls on.
By the way, great to see Newt is surging and that the primary will probably go beyond SC.

Christina, you're right - I agree. Totally.
But are any of them ready to take the weight of power supply if nuke plants aer gradually closed down?
Maybe they are, in fact, Japan is probably the country that could get this kind of tech online and quick.
Who knows? I'm not sure.

What are the alternatives?

I really don't see the Govt. has any alternative.
As always, it pays to ask "What is the alternative?"
Alternative energy? - still a long way off in terms of getting base prices cheaper than imported oil.
Thermal? Nowhere near sufficient supply.
Shut down nuclear plants as planned after 40 years? - And replace them with what? Coal plants?
Build more new nuclear plants? - Besides the dearth of public support for that idea, building new plants would be at least a good decade away.
Import more oil? - with prices as volatile as they are and Iran getting aggressive?
Japan already has a homegrown power supply - nuclear. No, some don't like it but most of the nation has been more than happy to use it for more than 50 years.
alladin - "Japan has not learned from what took place in Fukushima. I guess it will have to be another Nuclear explosion to make Japan wale up. The way it looks to me, the Japanese government is on a road to blowing themselves up by their own actions."
That is extremely reactive. Let's face it - Japanese nuclear technology, since the first power station was commissioned in 1966(?) has been very safe. No meltdowns, only a handful of minor accidents, and the couutry's nuclear plant network has supplied the nation with safe power for more than half a century.
Really, when you look at it in a historical context, Japan's nuclear plants have been 'unsafe' for a fraction of a percent of the time. Of course there is risk - that's part of the deal with life, technology, etc. and it's something we just need to live with and cope with as best we can.
The way I see it, the government really has very little alternative to extending the lives of the reactors.
Has anyone got any better - realistic - ideas?

A sad day for Big Oil's conservative supporters who clearly couldn't care less about shoveling a 'shovel-ready' project down the throats of ordinary Americans to extract possibly the dirtiest form of oil and endanger unimportant underground water supplies used to grow something as unimportant and boring as food.
Hey, when a spill happens that poisons underground water supplies, America can always import bottled water from China!
And the GOP is all in a panic because the WH didn't warn them of the impnding decision - horrors!
No doubt, GOP leadership are right now getting their butts whipped by their Big Oil slave masters for not lying enough to the American people about how great Keystone would be for all Americans, even those who lose land and have food and water supplies poisoned.
Go-bama 2012!

"If I don't win the primary Saturday, we will probably nominate a moderate," the former House speaker said, referring to Mitt Romney. "And the odds are fairly high he will lose to Obama."
Nice to see that at least 1 GOP candidate knows the writing's on the wall.
Time for conservatives to close shop and focus on 2016.
Perhaps a Cain/Bachmann ticket? :-)

This is like suffering through a movie where you know the ending 10 minutes in and you can't leave.
So the GOP has a multiple cheater, a guy that bankrupts companies, and a guy that is willing to let people die that don't have insurance.
What a great choice.
Time to give up and focus on 2016.
Perhaps a Perry/Palin ticket? :-)

"Gingrich said he would “reassess” his candidacy if he lost in South Carolina and acknowledged that a Romney victory would mean “an enormous advantage going forward.”"
Why not just do a Cain and "suspend" his campaign?
No, he should do the honorable thing, do a Palin and QUIT.

JeremiahW - "Sushisake 3 thinks independents = libertarian. That is funny."
No, what is funny is how you make up totally unsubstantiated claims out of thin air and post them as 'fact.'
