Except it doesn’t sound like he is supporting Obama. It just sounds like he is surrendering to the political expediency.
Nothing Gingrich said suggests he thinks Obama is right, or the Senate is right. His message, if you believe the quotes, is that we can’t win the battle, so the best thing for America would be to surrender this time.
It’s not necessarily a bad message, from a political perspective. It is what I would expect a smart political mind to come up with. It’s hardly the plain-spoken conservatism we have been fighting for. Conservatives are tired of the games, we are told.
The response here is actually very cleverly designed to avoid the real facts and issues. Note that here at FR, the pro-Gingrich forces didn’t post the article and discuss it first, instead they post the e-mail Rush exchange information, to discredit the whole idea of their BEING a story, without dealing with the quotes at all.
If the quotes are false, there will be a recorded proof. I’d love to see the full transcript. But the message in the WSJ is exactly what I would predict from Gingrich given his history (he did sit on a couch with Nancy, he did AGREE with Al Gore at a “debate”).
It’s what smart people do — they outsmart themselves.
I posted the Newt email story tidbit from rush, and I am a Rick Santorum Supporter, so the pro-Gingrich thing does not fly with me.
I just knew the left and this is typically what they do. The will always divide and conquer, they do it every primary season.
I am amazed about the vast amount of conservatives that will always repeat what the left writes as if they could only report the truth.
No trust for the left from me, especially when talking about their propaganda machine the MSM.
