When Gingrich Speaks, Remember Hoffman & Scozzafava

....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?

[pallmallman]

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.

[Cyber Liberty]

Tweedledum and Tweedlestupid.

[SueRae]

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).

I remember his smilingly explaining that he had the Scozzafava-Hoffman details all wrong. If he didn’t know anything, he should’ve kept his mouth shut.

He got it all wrong? LOL!! I didn't know that was his excuse! Gee, where did he get that 'smart' label so many are fond to give him. Not only was his decision to follow the RINO telling but his excuse is laughable. Did someone tell him if he only listened to SARAH in the NY23 race, he would have come out looking knowledgeable. :)

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’.

A Newt candidacy will result in the loss that kills America, unless he runs as a Democrat. Pelosi for VP, yeah that's the ticket.

[Wingy]

We all agree. Gingrich is one of the ones who can win. Important to remind of this Dede, the Global Warming w/ Pelosi, death bed divorce, etc. People should also be reminded of Romney’s flaws. The other RINOs can be ignored, as they won’t win.

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!

[rawhide]

Gingrich has lost me completely. I will not support his candidacy at all. I am a former supporter, and he no longer represents me.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The blowhard has 100 ideas every day. One or two are interesting...

[truthfreedom]

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.

[truthfreedom]

Well, Romney and Gingrich can both win the nomination, the other RINOs, no.

[Terrence DoGood]

Newt is a caricature, a clown and an utter phony.

[Sarabaracuda]

I’d vote for either of them over Obama.
