If Newt is the Puke candidate this will be the nastiest election of my lifetime

I'm 25 and the pure hatred the far right oozed in 2008 is the worst I've seen in a presidential election in my lifetime. If Newt is the nominee it's going to be much worse than even 2008.

It might hurt, but maybe this is simply a stone that we need to pass.

The crazy insane right wingers were underground for a while ... now they walk the earth like a zombie horde.

Newt was the demon spawn back in the 90s ... he's now the leader of the zombies ... We might never be rid of them with out a knock down drag out battle.

Perhaps we can send them back to hell where they belong.

and this will be the nastiest election of my lifetime if Newt is the candidate. And maybe even if he isn't, since the Citizens United ruling made it possible to turn the hate up to infinity.
