Newtie sez that if he was prez, the U.S. would have shot down the NK missile

[cali]

praise dog that newtie isn't prez. or any other pukester.

[Mari333]

1. oh these old farts

always talking about penetrating, shooting their wads, etc. says a lot about Newt's ability to salute the flag.

[WI_DEM]

2. and risk another Korean war in the meanwhile.

[Itchinjim]

3. Yep, shoot first, think later.

Normal GOP SOP. For some reason, these guys have to constantly try to prove how big a set of 'nads they have. You should have enlisted when you had the chance Newton.

[abluelady]

4. That's Why He's Not Prez. n/t

[Raven]

5. READY>>>>FIRE>>>>AIM! He is really playing to the basest of the base.

[Uben]

6. That's why he's not the prez!

That fuckin dumbass! he'll never be a serious candidate for prez because he always, always says what HE THINKS the people want to hear. Little does he know, he shot his wad with the Contract with America folly that we found out was a big fuckin lie. Little narcissistic pricks like him feed off of the few people that support him, kinda like dumbfuck Tom Delay. How incredibly stupid!

7. Newtie better stick with his puties in the whirlwinds.

[Juche]

8. Sad part is if he runs in 2012, 45% of the country will vote for him

Never underestimate the levels of apathy of the american voters wrt political issues.

And if shooting it down could've caused N. Korea to bomb the hell out of S Korea and kill millions of civilians, too bad. At least Newt can beat his chest at the next NASCAR event afterwards while all the people who voted for him and can't find North Korea on a map applaud.

9. Newt would have 2 six-shooters strapped on his hips because he

would support a law to make carrying guns in the open legal.
Then knowing about the time the missile was supposed to go off, Newt would fly to South Korea. Then he would take a six-shooter and personally let the dirty Red missile have it with all 12 bullets. While he did this Newt would yell "This is from AMERICA you dirty commies.
Then Newt would be hailed as the greatest American ever and be feted in ticker tape parades from New York City to Los Angeles.

Then Newt would wake up.

10. And Seoul would be in flames today

Which was the newspaper headline the day I was born.

[spanone]

11. and that is precisely why he isn't the president

[zbdent]

12. and that, if the Republicans were in control of the House, the Senate, the White House,

the Judicial branch, etc.

then we'd have economic prosperity, record surpluses, lower taxes, more individual freedom, and be more respected in the world ... just like it was during the dictatorship that was Bush & the House and Senate controlled by the ReRushlicans ...

:sarcasm:

[gratuitous]

13. Did he clear that with his new boss, Pope Benedict?

Now that he's acceded to his third wife's wishes and become a good Catholic and everything.

[PufPuf23]

14. Newt cheer leaded for WWIII on Faux several years back

when Israel attacked Lebanon. He also called Bolivia-Cuba-Venezuela a second axis of evil.

He is a warmonger and scary to me.

I haven't watched Faux a single time since inauguration week!!!

[DFW]

15. No, we would not have shot it down if Newt were President

We might have tried, using the equipment that Cheneybush spent billions on, and which
didn't work. The only thing we would have shot down would have been Newt's dreams of
being a hero. Luckily for us, the country has managed to do just that already, and at
far lesser expense.
