Gingrich Pledges Seven Lincoln-Douglas Style Debates with Obama if Nominated
Reaganite Republican ^ | November 7, 2011 | Reaganite Republican

Posted on 11/07/2011 10:06:27 AM PST by Reaganite Republican

'Three hours each... with a time-keeper... and no moderator.'

Newt Gingrich spoke Friday at the Iowa GOP's 'Reagan Dinner'...
______________________________________________________________________

"On the first day of a Gingrich Administration, I would issue a series of Exectutive Orders... the very first of which would  abolish all the White House czars'

"I would fire (Bernanke) tomorrow... and the Fed should be audited"

"What we're faced with is the results of a radical ideology, and an inexperienced, incompetent president..."

"I will outline a 21st-Century 'Contract with America'...  and it's going to be far bolder, far deeper, and far more profound than we did in 1994... or than I helped Jack Kemp and  Ronald Reagan do in 1980."

"I think it is fundamentally wrong to five people money for  99 weeks for doing nothing..."

"I predict he will accept (the debates)... firstly as a matter of ego"

"I am a professor, and I did study history.
And unlike Obama, I studied American history."

Obama can’t afford to let that happen. It would be akin to the dog Toto pulling the curtain away from the Wizard of Oz and exposing him for what he is. A lot of us already see him for the farce that he is.

What makes Newt think that Obozo will ever agree to debates without the usual Lewinsky crowd in the enemedia doing the moderating, asking the questions, picking the venues and packing the audience with sycophants?

No chance whatsoever. None. Obama’s teleprompter doesn’t work that fast.

“Gingrich Pledges Seven Lincoln-Douglas Style Debates with Obama if Nominated”

What does this mean, aside from sounding Old and Classy? How would it be different than current debate practices? Didn’t those guys go on for, like, an hour and a half per response? Who’d sit through that these days?

Exactly. Obama would never agree to a debate without a moderator. As we saw in the 2008 debates, the moderator was almost always pro-Obama. Newt is dreaming. Obama would never throw away that advantage.

Not. Gonna. Happen. There is no way in hell that the SCOAMF will debate anyone in that style.

At best, the Present In Chief will do two town hall debates with preloaded questions.

Obama would never dare go one on one with Newt.

Newt would have to schedule them on the golf course and I bet it still wouldn’t happen.

if zero took Newt on in a debate then it will show just how much he has believed his own hype.

7 responses of 90 minutes each?

That’s an awful lot of time for Barak to fill with variations of “It’s all Bush’s fault.”

As a condition of the debates, both men should be required to submit to an exam by an ENT physician to prove that no wireless ear pieces are in place to assist them in the debate.
