they keep slinging the ugly truth at each other.

The more drawn-out the Primary season, the more dirt gets exposed. They are digging each other's politcial graves.

The Big Shot Party has pulled out all the stops to push Romney. Gingrich has broken his chains & is a Frankenstein's Monster. I just caught some hick radio preacher on a fundie station, and he started with a stinging rebuke of Newt the "liberal, the globalist" followed by a pitch for Romney as God's chosen candidate (or smething like that).
