"And we both know politics is mud slinging. which is why the Repubs can't seem to find a decent candidate to run against Obama."
I thought that was a just a left wing attribute.
"As for Newt, you're stating old news and apparently it's not enough to keep him from running for office."
True, it doesn't. But it reminds me of an argument in the UK over directors who have businesses closed down for fraud, etc. They then go and open up elsewhere, just change their position. How certain disgraced UK politicians/advisers just fade for a while then turn up elsewhere in the world of government.
"it's old news and that Turk is a Jerk and his blather won't work"
Turk picks up on stuff just like everyone else does.
"And if you have something more current, with a reliable data source."
What like Murdoch run Fox, who's empire is now facing in the UK more scrutiny over the "The Sun" paper and it's bribing of police for information.
... But this is a matter that dates back over ten years!! Should it be ignored, counted as dated?? Or just noted that it has just been exposed, just like NOTW caught intercepting and then deleting the messages of a murdered girl... That caused Murdoch to close down the NOTW last year
... Something that they tried to bury under the rug due, as it exposes police corruption and politician a*** kissing of Rupert Murdoch's butt!!
