Raw intellect and wisdom don't necessarily intersect. Newt is exhibit A of just that.
Well, if we are looking for silver linings in this I can think of one. It has, very early in the primary process, helped voters see they are not alone in demanding sane conservative fiscal responsibility. Apparently, we don’t have to accept less from out candidates.
I meant to do that!
Who is Huntsman? what is this? Newt has gone bye bye. We are left with Cain and Bachmann. Romney would lose by 20 points. He is the father of socialized health care. He is total history. Who is “mitch Daniel”? What is this?
Yeah.
Like that worked out so well for McRINO...
I certainly hope you are correct
Its a good strategy. He knows conservatives aren’t staying home, there will be a lot of independents and moderates this election cycle and most importantly, it is free press from the lib media.
As long as Herman Cain is the most conservative of the bunch fiscally and Santorum doesn’t have name recognition, Newt would have to beat Paulenty and Romney.
If he wins the nomination, he then tacks right.
It’s not so far fetched if Newts goal is a gig at Foxnews. Didn’t Trump quit after he locked in a Fox n’ Friends bit?
Trump, Newt, who cares really. We can see what a president all about me is like, that's what we're hoping to change.
We need to challenge the RINO Senators and clean house in the House.
Re-electing a RINO Senator is only forgivable if it's a sacrifice for getting the majority.
Re-electing a RINO Representative is banned. We'll vote for Dems just to take you down.
Electing any fool who loves this country and wants it preserved as a better place is essential. This person must dismantle the FedZilla behemoth starting with obamocare
But in the long run we need to automate these politicians. The next ipad or mousetrap that really has meaning to people will be totally automated and non-human robot politicians.
Everything will be programed in advance and then you vote on it and they cannot lie or change direction without an internet vote by text message. Simple machines that do as they are told is all we need.
The outdated human ones seem to prove themselves with offers of money, perhaps it would be desirable to make the robots work the same way...instead of voting for what they do, we pledge dollars or gamble on who wins or what they do. We could make a fortune!
"Politico reports that Callista Gingrich declared on the public record—because she had to—that she owed as much as $500,000 to the shmancy jewelery store, Tiffany and Co."
Failed Presidential Run as "thinking man's moderate" + subsequent speaking gigs = retired jewelry debt.
No, I listened to Newt trying to do damage control on Mark Levin’s show last night, and there was nothing intentional about his hara kiri. Rush is wrong.
Hmmmm...I wanna know who these TEA party "leaders" are, and who these conservative bloggers are.
True, thats why you'll always hear Newt referred to as "smart", never as "wise"....
I see two possible motivations for Newt’s actions
1. Ego. He can not stand that Paul Ryan is seen as the go getter of the Conservative movement. Listen to his interviews lately. He believes that his little think tanks that nobody has ever heard of are end all be all of the current debate. For the last decade he has been sitting the bench, but he talks like he has been in the thick of the action, which he was not.
2. Money. Rush is right. Considering how much he owes on his credit cards, he is going to need a lot of it soon. He is setting himself up to become respectable in the eyes of the Liberal establishment in order to snag lucrative no work jobs.
His problem is lack of discipline.
He was bashing Clinton out of one side of his mouth, kissing his girlfriend out of the other. Now she's got him by the shorts, calling the shots.
You have to believe she's not the brightest bulb on the tree, either, shacking up with a serial adulterer.
Newt's just doing this to garner a few votes and get an appointment when he throws those votes to the real nominee.
What. An. Ass.
I did not get it either, he tried to say Newt is going for the rino vote. Even Bo said what about Pawlenty. Rush tried to cover for liberal timmy to.
He wants to be the new Joe Scarborough or Pat Buchanan? Good luck with that Newty.
Maybe he needs matching campaign funds to help pay for his wife’s Tiffany and American Express bills. He’s out of walking around money you know?
