Newt: I Won't Participate in Any Debates Moderated By Reporters
Townhall ^ | 01/30/2012 | Helen Whalen Cohen

"As your nominee, I will not accept debates in the fall in which the reporters are the moderators," Gingrich said at a rally in Pensacola. "We don’t need to have a second Obama person at the debate."

Obama will not do the Lincoln-Douglas debates and Newt won’t do the liberal debates. I wonder what they will end up doing? I know that Obama won’t go with having conservative commentators either. This could get interesting. Maybe there won’t be any debates. After having 19 so far I guess that could be a blessing.

OK the you won’t have any debates. Hopefully you’ll be able to counter all the millions of dollars in TV ads

Absolutely Right On the Money but in reading the article we find this at the end:
For a candidate whose biggest selling point is debate skills, his stipulations seem rather stringent. One hopes that this is another grandiose, yet empty threat.

Seems the Establishment types really are scared.

In this trade, Newt looks defiant.

Obama looks chicken.

Because frankly, in both cases they are.

Call him out, Newt! Take it to him.

Tell Obama he can play Lincoln.

Tell him since he’s a Constitutional Law “professor” and attorney that the first debate can be about the Constitution.

Go to where he has claimed to be something special. Go to the enemy’s home court and smoke his ass.

Newt talked about following every speech Obama gives with one of his own like Lincoln did, until he finally agrees to debate. Will be interesting.

Newt will be an attack dog for “We The People”. He will hound Obama and shame him (oops, Obama has no shame)and force Obama to go on defense. When Obama has to play defense he is shown to be a loser!

Should Newt become the nominee there are likely to be no debates and Obama with have the backing of the media.

Come to think of it, that is likely to be the scenario regardless of the nominee.

Hopefully Newt will do what he said earlier in the campaign.

If Obama refuses to debate , he will be there to respond with a rebuttal any time Obama opens his pie hole in a campaign stop.

The establishment types have sabotaged this primary, just like the last time. And the time before. And the time before that.

At first nobody noticed. Then it started to raise suspicions, when our own president once elected - called us “vigilantes”.

Last time around, they attacked our own VP candidate. Who we all enthusiastically supported and was the closest thing the Stupid Clueless and Ungrateful Party will EVER see to an absolutely PERFECT candidate. Seriously, we could not have asked for any better candidate. Palin was the best we’ll ever see. Ever.

This time, they took off the mask and attacked ... US.

Each time they get more push-back, so each time they push harder to break things.

Now they’re starting to realize this year, they can’t correct things and bring us back. No way, we’re out of here after this crap.

They’ve gone too mar, removed the mask, and truly screwed the pooch. They jacked the wheel to keep us from driving this vehicle, and steered us all right toward a cliff.

They’ve become the enemy.

The cliff, it shall be then.

Dumb-a$$es.

I’m now officially all in, for a third party if Mitt takes this thing through such monstrous corruption.

Trump. Newt. Palin. Better yet, all of them on one team.

I vote rebellion.

True, but ObaMao won't debate any other way. If Newt wants debates, he will have to do them on ObaMao's terms.

But if Newt can make this election about ObaMao's pathetic record, he won't need debates. Otherwise, it could get dicey.
