March 29 (LAGER LAKE, WI) Speaking before 5 supporters in an elementary school cafeteria in this small Wisconsin town, Newt Gingrich vowed to stay the course in his floundering presidential campaign. Despite dwindling finances and the laying off of half his staff, the former Speaker of the House declared his intention to “see this thing to the bloody end.” When a reporter asked if this was realistic, given his single digit numbers in the polls, Gingrich answered “Realistic? My friend, for a World Historical Figure, Reality has a different dimension than for mere mortals. Did Lincoln veer from his course when circumstances were daunting? Did Napoleon consult poll numbers? Did Churchill? No, my friend, I live in a different Reality. When you ask why I don’t bow out of the race, I can only cite Density. Er, Destiny.”

Newt is obviously trying to work out a deal for a position in the next administration. But regardless who it is, it will be better than the current godless bunch.
No, it won’t. There is no good choice in this race; both are evil. None is “better” than the other, and indeed when the Republicans propose lowering taxes even more for the rich, while cutting social programs for the poor, one could argue that they would be worse on issues of justice. Of course, they are not going to try and force the Church to pay for contraceptives, so the Repulicans are arguably better on religious freedom, but at what cost?
No, my friend, I live in a different Reality. When you ask why I don’t bow out of the race, I can only cite Density. Er, Destiny
