Cage Match Round 2: Gingrich vs. Perry

Last weeks cage match between the heavy weights resulted in a surprisingly big win for Mitt Romney. So we'll see him later this summer as he takes on the winner of one of the coming matches.

This week saw Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry in the news...between fuzzy images of Anthony Weiner in varying degrees of undress. So this week we have a relatively short battle between Gingrich and Perry...again you'll get to pick who wins the the match by using the poll in the top right of my blog.

Ding Ding: Round one starts with a big swing of "Smartest Man In Politics" by Newt. Perry counters with three successful terms as Governor of the biggest state in America (Sorry Alaska no-one cares about you). Newt lays it on the line with a heavy dose of Fox News interviews. Perry looks dazed but pulls out his Rolodex of deep pocketed Texans. 

Round two: Perry is slow getting into the ring but still looks strong. Newt seems to be a little wary of Rick's deep pockets but stands up quickly. Newt punishes Perry with a barrage of name recognition and early entry into a long race. Perry absorbs it all and snags Newts top aides in the process. Folks this could be over before it even starts. Newt's clinging to the ropes with a Twitter campaign. 

Round three: Newt is still hanging in there despite a seeming second wind from Perry. These two are dancing the ring avoiding the appearance of being damaged. Perry steps up and embraces the Tea Party and Paul Ryan's plan. Newt is on his heels and tries a desperate move to the middle to embrace the independents. 

Ding Ding. This match is over. Lets see what the judges (that's you) have to say.

Weinergate? Really?

From BigGovernment.com

Why the hell are we (conservatives) paying any attention to this. Sure he needs to resign. Sure he's a total douche. But this seems like a gargantuan waste of time. Democrats won't censure the idiot. The media won't focus on the issue. They'd rather follow Sarah Palin and complain of having to pee on the side of the road than acknowledge Anthony Weiners' stupidity. The media would rather talk about Andrew Brietbart and his vendetta rather than address the issue of Weiner's inane lies. Drop the issue and move on to the bigger issues at hand. Lets see more pressure on the President over his failed jobs plan. Lets see more pressure on the GOP candidates so that we have the best nominee this next fall. Lets focus people. Weiner is aptly named (or perhaps not so aptly named) and deserves to be lampooned in the late-night shows but he certainly shouldn't be taking our eye off the prize. The GOP win in 2012 is not going to hinge on this story. It is a flash in the pan. It may paint the Democrats poorly but it doesn't break Obama's grip on the reigns of this country running off the edge of a cliff. Let this blog post be the end of this particular news cycle.
