Gingrich rips Paul Ryan's plan, then backpedals... Gingrich backed RINO establishment candidate Scozzafava (who later withdrew and threw her support to the Democrat candidate) instead of giving his support to the independent conservative, Hoffman, back during the 2009 special election; then Gingrich backpedaled over that. Winks and nods to the Republican and Democrat establishment followed by grinning mea culpas for the benefit of conservatives. Par for the course...
....that’s right, and a few FREEPERs still fall for the MSM’s definition of who is and is not electable. Kind of ironic, ain’t it?
Gingrich is basically a joke. He’s like the real smart kid in school who talked himself into circles...just too smart for his own good. He ought to just stick to writing books.
Tweedledum and Tweedlestupid.
Yup. I’ll never forget it...and neither will the RNC..when each and every time they call for money I tell them exactly why I’m not giving. I send to individual candidates because of Newt and Santorum (think Toomey vs.Specter).
Yeah - stick to books where someone can proofread and he can edit edit edit before he exposes himself. This speaking from the heart doesn’t work good for his ‘cover’.
While I agree with you on your general sentiments on Newt, I do have to disabuse you on your mention of the "death bed divorce". This story has been debunked many times, most recently by his daughter who was IN THE ROOM when this meeting took place. As for the DEATH part, the former Mrs. Gingrich is still alive and quite well.
I won't contribute or vote for Newt under all but the most extreme circumstances, but not over a bogus story that, like I said, is FALSE!
Gingrich has lost me completely. I will not support his candidacy at all. I am a former supporter, and he no longer represents me.
The blowhard has 100 ideas every day. One or two are interesting...
sounds good. I’m just picking up the antiNewt talking points here and there. Don’t really know all the specifics.
He most certainly was very very popular 16 years ago with Republicans.
Well, Romney and Gingrich can both win the nomination, the other RINOs, no.

Newt is a caricature, a clown and an utter phony.
I’d vote for either of them over Obama.
