According to Newt , law should be subject to popularity test

According to some reports, Newt Gingrich is falling in the polls as a result of his latest statements that judges should be arrested and imprisoned.

I would have thought that most hard-core Repugnicans would have either

(a) agreed with him that judges who made "unpopular" (as in "not completely repugnican") decisions really should be arrested, tortured, imprisoned in concentration camps, and possibly executed;

or

(b) dismissed the reports as "left wing drive-by mainstream-media smears";

or

(c) some combination of (a) and (b);

and that this would have locked him in for the nomination and the presidency.

I am perplexed.

It seems the average Republican voter is not as stupid and evil as you thought they were. The other candidates have been attacking Ron big time over his stance of wanting to bring to troops home and avoid a war with Iran, not only has it not worked in slowing Paul down but he has actually gained in the polls!

Another explanation: "It was just a JOKE, taken out of context, and blown out of proportion. Just like Herman Cain's "joke" about electrocuting Mexicans. Hardy, har har."

Take it seriously if you like the idea, or as a joke if you don't.

Last I noticed, Gingrich and Romney were neck-and-neck. So, yes, the average Repugnican voter is stupid and evil.
