Gingrey comments on Rush misunderstanding (Gingrey backtracks)

Congressman Phil Gingrey ^ | January 28, 2009 | Phil Gingrey

[GoCards]

He sounded NON-COMMITTAL on the possibility of the Fairness Doc when Neil just cornered him at the end.

??What??

[roses of sharon]

Republicans in office respond more to the MSM pressure than to Rush pressure.

For good reason.

The MSM have more political power than Rush, unfortunately.

And this is what needs to change.

Tom Hagen: “Geez, Michael, do you wanna kill everyone?”

Michael Corleone: “No, Tom, just my enemies.”

[Gene Eric]

>> I wanted to take a moment to speak directly to grassroots conservatives.

i.e., the ‘nativists’.

ooga, ooga

I don't know what Gingrey actually said. He's been my Rep and a good one for a few years now. Who knows...ha may have caught a case of the Beltway Sickness after a few years up there. If that's indeed the case, he needs to be shown the door.

OTOH and probably more likely: Politico is just another leftist toilet posing as an unbiased news organization. They're no different than the alphabet networks. I consider their "news product" to be DNC talking points until proven otherwise.

I’ve seen him on C-SPAN with his speeches. He’s been right on the mark. This man is no RINO.

[a fool in paradise]

John McCain may also back the Hush Rush bill. He made such noises during the campaign.

Even GWBush did not like the calls generated by Talk Radio on the Harriet Myers nomination, the Ramos and Compean case, illegal immigration, the Dubai ports deal...

Sit down, shut up, and keep writing checks to the national party. That’s what the GOP thinks of us.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Yeah, I want to hear the phone call to Rush, played by Rush on his show.

Then I want to hear one from º doing the same.

[latina4dubya]

He better watch it or he will end up with a horsehead in his bed.

someone must have made him an offer he couldn't refuse...

[Obadiah]

Ah, who put arsenic in your coffee this morning?

[TNdandelion]

One thing that these politicians (including Obama) need to realize is Rush Limbaugh, and all the other radio talk show hosts that they like to criticize, aren't the ones sitting in Washington blowing our tax money like there is no tomorrow. The radio warriors aren't the ones enacting ridiculous and freedom threatening legislation.

Saying that they are just like the rest of us doesn't impress me very much. I personally believe that that the Rush Limbaugh Sean Hannity Neil Boortz' of the radio waves understand me better than the Washingtonians. Maybe they should listen to the radio and their constituents more.

[Cedric]

I can understand why elected officials are ticked-off at Rush.

He continually puts them in “no-win” positions.

[TNdandelion]

Honestly....I’d be happy if they’d just do more to STOP the liberal agenda from moving through. They seem to fall all over themselves trying to be friends with the libs in Washington...even with the conservatives are in power! Makes me sick.

[G.Mason]

Bwahahahahahahahaha

I did November 4th.

Obviously I needed a stronger dose.

[shiva]

Felt the heat...saw the light.

What a backpeddling SOB

**Then I want to hear one from º doing the same.**

I PRAY TO GOD you’re not Holding your Breath on that one!!

[RNO1]

I have been on the phone all morning calling Congress rats and Senators over this stimulus bill and have some of my family doing the same thing....Everyone needs to flood the phones in Congress....The Dems seem to have recordings on....

[BARLF]

You know you’re just on these talk shows and you’re living well and plus you stir up a bit of controversy and gin the base and that sort of that thing.

Did he say this or not?

Class warfare from a conservative. Sheesh

[Responsibility2nd]

What Politico did was get the wrong guy.

At first they were blasting Rep. Tom Price.

Later they made the correction. See this thread - over 200 replies.

Yet - for some reason - the FR mods chose to leave the article WRONG.

They have the power to edit the post. But they didn’t.
