GREENSBORO, N.C. – The day after Newt Gingrich was bit by a penguin at a zoo, he acknowledged he is “the underdog” and said his campaign began renting their donor list because they needed money.

---

“Compared to Barack Obama, Romney’s a conservative,” he said. “Let’s be clear: There are no liberals in the Republican party.”

Totally agree. Mitt did not have enough charisma to beat McCain for the nomination. Having run the Olympics and made a big pile off reengineering american jobs overseas are hardly qualifications for national leadership, much less being the socialist communistic governor of the most highly taxed state in the Republic. I do not see that Romney has any more credentials than Obama except maybe the birth eligibility thing.

At least Newt will drag Obama out in the middle of the street and give him a good spanking over the communist anarchist government and failed financial welfare and tax policies of the democrats. Newt is far from perfect but he looks like a hero compared to Obama. I am no Newt fan but at least he is not owned by Wall Street hedge funds and the media communists like Romney.

They’re not liberals, they’re progressives. You know, Communists!

He should’ve said “There are no socialists in the Republican party” because Democrats are now socialists not liberals.

Well actually we all have 3 governments.. federal, State and local..

I don’t like the federal one.. because of all the americans they have murdered.. and other things..
I like my State government.. and the local government somewhat..
But all three are diseased with democrats.. you know “sick”..

It’s a good thing Newt doesn’t have a freeper account, because he could be banned for saying something like that :-)

I was wondering how he managed to get bit by a penguin. I had the pleasure of getting to pet a penguin last Christmas, which was pretty cool, but I wasn’t at all worried about being “bit” or even pecked.

I don’t know—Paul was coordinating with Romney before the others.

Yes.. But I think there's a county commissioner in Utah that's running a conservative third party presidential bid we can all support. (We're still checking to see if he has any Mormons in his background..)

If he means everyone who says they are Republicans, also are not liberal, he is wrong. McCain’s plumpy bubble-headed spawn for example.

If he means because they are liberal he does not consider them to be Republicans, then that may be a better answer.

Yes, they can bite. They also leave terrible bruises when they do bite a human.

Hello old FRiend!

I’m thinking that at least Rick Santorum didn’t endorse Romney!

Maybe Newt’s endorsement was up for rent like his donor list was.

Gotta love that headline...

Newt didn’t endorse Romney. Santorum already did in 2008. And, yeah, the mainstream media will always try desperately in their Alinsky-ite fashion to ridicule real conservatives like Newt Gingrich, who, as card-carrying liberals, they hate. Why you “love” that is another question entirely.
