Newt Stumbles Out of the Gate

Newt Gingrich was on Meet the Press this morning in his first Sunday show appearance since announcing his intention to… challenge President Obama for the Democrat nomination, apparently.

Andrew Stiles at NRO has the details:

Newt Gingrich’s appearance on “Meet the Press” today could leave some wondering which party’s nomination he is running for. The former speaker had some harsh words for Paul Ryan’s (and by extension, nearly every House Republican’s) plan to reform Medicare, calling it “radical.”

To do that in this case you have to carry David Gregory's jockstrap, not just his water. Be careful what you ask for.

Yer the one with yer nose up Newt's backside, coming up with every single squirmy reason why what he said wasn't what he said.

Nonsense, and I will not allow you to claim it, unchallenged.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

No Newt!

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Newt not only stumbled....He took a header into a meadow muffin.....

[Lazamataz]

Stop and think for a moment ~ what if Newt no longer has the presence of mind to know what to expect from these shows, and without Hannity there he can't keep on track anymore.

WTF is wrong with you??? Now the NEXT squirmy reason we gotta give Newt a pass, is that he's got Alzheimers??!?

Use this moment to attack Gregory ~ Google picks up on that concept and puts your post ahead of all the others whenever his name is searched for.

Gregory isn't the issue. What Newt SAID is the issue. What he has said SINCE THE 1990's IS THE ISSUE.

Now's not the time for Newt ~ that's long gone. This is the age of BEATING DOWN THE LEFT, and never let an opportunity pass you by.

By beating down Newt, it is clear that I AM beating down the left.

[muawiyah]

By now you must have figured out "the left" doesn't self-identify with Newt Gingrich.

That's just crazy talk!

[muawiyah]

He responded to a Gregory thing. The response has to be taken in the context.

Ever wonder why Gregory doesn't want Newt to run for President?

[Lazamataz]

By now you must have figured out "the left" doesn't self-identify with Newt Gingrich. That's just crazy talk!

The left doesn't identify with Newt, but he sure identifies with them! Individual Mandate for Health Insurance, my ass.

[Lazamataz]

Nonsense. Newt has been on these shows for DECADES. Quit trying to write Newt a pass for his EXTREMELY LIBERAL comments.

Ah, yes, a stirring defense of Newt Gingrich.

"You see, ladies and gentlemen, our candidate is so qualified to be president, he doesn't even require the wherewithal to know where he is, who he's talking to, or what's being discussed. His translator and life coach, Sean Hannity, interprets the various bellows, grunts and whistles emitted by our beloved conservative mastermind, and translates them into a more coherent and ear-pleasing form."

[muawiyah]

As I told you I'm not campaigning for the guy, just setting you people straight on who you ought to attack.

I am startled at the number of people who'd rather run down a Republican than attack the Leftwingtards.

[muawiyah]

Still looking for any legislative initiative he ever signed onto that had an "individual mandate" in it.

Did you find one?

As you know the "individual mandate" is a violation of the 13th Amendment and any person affected by it is entitled to repel government agents by any and all means!

[Lazamataz]

Dude. He SAID on NATIONAL TV that he favors an Individual Mandate for Health Care, and that he has since the 1990's.

Are you, like, on another planet or something? You seem like it is impossible for you to accept the reality of what he PUBLICLY said.

[Lazamataz]

As I told you I'm not campaigning for the guy, just setting you people straight on who you ought to attack.

Get yer head out of yer ass. We're setting YOU straight on who we ought to attack.... and that is the person responsible for his own comments.

I am startled at the number of people who'd rather run down a Republican than attack the Leftwingtards.

I'd attack Romney, too, because Republican and "Leftwingtards" are not mutually exclusive terms.

[DarthVader]

Newt is a dead man walking. He made himself 100% irrelevant this weekend.

[muawiyah]

NBC is "private" and that wasn't a live broadcast. We don't have any idea what else he said that was edited out.

If Gingrich writes a speech and delivers it, that is one thing. If Dau'd Gregory asks a question provided by George Soros that's a totally different thing.

I'd like to waterboard Gregory anyway just to find out who his sources are for the questions he asks and how many times he was sexually abused by different Democrats as a child.

Then you'd see some answers eh.

[Lazamataz]

Let's keep a running list of your whacky excuses on why Newt saying what he said, doesn't mean Newt said what he said:

1. David Gregory has some amazing Kreskin thing where he (or Soros people( can craft questions that cause people to say things completely the opposite that they believe.
2. Newt talks before thinking, about policy issues that he has thought about since the 1990's
3. Newt has Alzheimers or some mental problems that require Hannity as his handler to stay on track
4. And now your NEWEST one: Newt said "What I'm about to say is NOT how I think", and then after his comments, Newt said "That is the OPPOSITE of what I feel"... but somehow those ended up on a cutting room floor.

You are absolutely around the bend with this, ain't ya? Cannot wait to see what whacky theory you will have next.

Dood.

Newt said what he said. He meant it. He wants an Individual Mandate on Health Care.

[muawiyah]

What you don't want to do is read that book coming out about Trig and how he's not Sarah's baby.

There'll be a quote in there, or maybe a picture, and you'll go all nutso and believe whatever the leftwingtard pukes what you to believe.

Okay, now we have you trying to COMPLETELY change the subject. You are kooky, and you are trying every trick in the book, but I will bring you back to the topic EVERY time.

NEWT GINGRICH WANTS AN INDIVIDUAL MANDATE FOR HEALTH CARE INSURANCE AND HAS APPARENTLY LIKED THE IDEA SINCE THE 1990'S.

I will never, ever, EVER stop refuting your kooky, utterly insane ideas that people are not responsible for their own words on the Sunday shows.

Count on me to be there like the age spot on your arm.

[muawiyah]

Laz, attack the leftwingers, not Newt. He’s said a lot of things over the years and you’re buying into a soundbyte. Good grief. Didn’t Sarah’s interview teach you anything about how evil these people are.
