Sarah Palin says "first dude went rogue" with Gingrich endorsement
Tales from the Trail ^ | 1/11/2012 | Grace Kiser

When Todd Palin announced on Monday that he was backing Newt Gingrich for president, some speculated he was acting as a proxy for his wife. Not so, said Sarah Palin on FOX last night.

“First dude went rogue,” Sarah Palin told FOX Business Network’s Eric Bolling when asked whether her husband had consulted her before making the endorsement. “And I respect him for doing that.”

“Todd is all about hard hats and steel-toed boots and getting people to work,” she said. “Todd obviously believing that Newt Gingrich represents more of that connectivity to the working class and to what it’s going to incentivize the private sector to create jobs for the skilled workforce.”

Palin also spoke to Romney’s “firing” comment, saying that “in this era of huge joblessness in our country,” his remark showed “some tone deafness.”

“That statement, I think, really negatively affected a lot of people who feel downtrodden, can’t find and a job, and don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel,” she said.

Notice she pounces on Romney! The headline is misleading since she defends Newt and bashes Romney. The frackin' National Review put up an article on this and ONLY posted the part about Newt, not what she said bashing Romney.

For those interested. Larry the Cable Guy will be visiting the Palins on “Only in America” tonight on the History Channel. Either 8 or 9 PM.

Cut the guy some slack, he’s been holding her purse for years.

Let him have an opinion too. After all, he’s entitled to one vote.

Perfect.

I may have to find a definite place for Todd & Sarah in the Newtorrrrum administation, folks. And I’m not just talkin’ about Snow Machine Czar. ;~)

No different than the Palins or most of us, Newt came from a lower-to-middle-class background. That makes all the difference in understanding with how regular Americans live their lives.

Gingrich was born at the Harrisburg Hospital in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on June 17, 1943, as Newton Leroy McPherson.

In 1946, his mother married Army officer Robert Gingrich (1925–1996), who adopted Newt.[7]

Gingrich was raised in Hummelstown, near Harrisburg, and on military bases where Robert Gingrich was stationed.

In 1970, Gingrich joined the history department at West Georgia College as an assistant professor. In 1974 he moved to the geography department and was instrumental in establishing an interdisciplinary environmental studies program.

Very funny title...love that Sarah!
But she’s wrong as to what Romney said and his being “tone deaf”...am not a Romney fan (though I’ve met him) but I get the “...like to be able to fire someone...” comment.
I feel that way whenever I see O’bummer - even though I never hired the boob....

People read into a statement what that want to hear, all I see is a rehash of what happened. She did not endorse anyone, she said hubby jumped the gun and she completely miss-understood the firing was of service people, ie insurance company. Call them and tell them you want a job in the rewrite department. LOL poor old fellow now he will get stuck making coffee for a month.

“Todd is all about hard hats and steel-toed boots and getting people to work,”

He seems like that kind of guy to me. Most people who run their mouths about him wouldn’t say it to his face.

"Yep, he's a regular Joe 6 Pack."

We revoked his membership when we found out about the Tiffany's account.

What do you her to call him, the Ex Governor's dude? I was hoping he would end up FDOTUS, but it didn't work out.
