None of Gingrich’s quotes in the article support the headline bait of “Give In”. In fact, it explicitly points out he’s on the House GOP’s side in going for a full-year cut instead of the two-month gimmick.

Granted, the payroll tax cut is a gimmick in any form, but again, the WSJ (and Politico) are fabricating stories.

You expect people to read the article? Who’s got time for that? It’s the internet age don’t ya know...no time to read (let alone think)...must click, click, click to the next article or post.

I could be wrong here, but your post seems to suggest that you are not a Romney supporter, you’re not willing to believe the lies coming from these MSM rags, you’re not willing to simply jump to any conclusion that might be twisted to reflect negatively on Gingrich, you’re not an anti-Newt ‘spam monkey’ spreading lies as fast as you can type, you’re not still wetting your bed over the loss of Cain, you’re not hanging onto hope for a candidate that’s down to single digits just 2 weeks before the race really begins in ernest, you’re not some shallow thinker that can’t see the forest for the trees.

Nope, it seems to me that you’re not any of those things. Heck, I could be guessing wrong, but it seems as if you are looking at things objectively and putting your country first. You might even want to do everything you can to help stop Obama’s War on America.

But heck, what do I know... those are just things I kinda see.

Merry Christmas!

GO NEWT GO........

I agree with you about the headline, except I can’t find another explanation for his statement about what the GOP should do, when paired with his statements about how hard it is to stand up to an incumbent president.

I wouldn’t say he agrees with Obama, I would say I’m inclined to believe that he made an off-the-cuff statement that he thought the best political move would be for the house GOP to pass the senate bill and live to fight another day.

I also think once he said it, he realized how bad it sounded, so he used Rush to try to halt the story in it’s tracks.

I’m also willing to believe the quotes are wrong, but only if I see the actual transcript or a video (or hear audio), because it is rare to find articles that offer made-up quotations. There is a line the media rarely crosses.
