Does no one care that Ryan’s budget accepts obummers base line and 900 billion in stimulus spending slush funding every year forever. This crap with newt, is classic gagging at a gnat while swallowing a camel.

I have been a partisan of Newt in the past but not recently. He started to lose me with the news of the cheating on his wife(s) and that idiot climate change ad where he sat with Nancy Pelosi. But still I told myself that he seemed to be one of the smarter people running until this weekend. This was a fork in the road and Newt took that fork square in the belly and now he is toast. I’d say he quits the race in the next couple of weeks.

I heard Rush describing his dinner with Newt. Wow. Newt was absolutely certain he was going to win the nomination. He was telling Rush his post nomination plans, how he would pick his VP candidate. He was completely confidant of the outcome and planned accordingly.

Talk about a precipitous fall.

Why is he ticking off the very voters he needs to vote for him to get the nomination?

Gingrich has been in Washington long enough to better than to assert "moral equivalency" between free market ideas and the coercive collectivist mandates of Obama and the Democrats.

He should be called on it, as Bennett did. That's not to say, however, that Ryan's plan, or any other Republican which came to incorporate coercive government mandates shouldn't be debated and criticized.

Newt Gingrich:"I don’t think I realized until after Sunday’s Meet the Press how big a threat my candidacy is to the Washington establishment."


Newt. Denial is not a river in Eqypt.

Newtie doesn’t lack for ego that’s for sure.

The audio of the voter dressing gingrich down was priceless. I think he said something like “Why don’t you get out of the race before you make a bigger fool of yourself”

No, he is not for Obamacare.

The problem is in trying to indentify what is he for, and why his choice of words describing Ryan’s Medicare reform plan were so incendiary.

You’re getting the issue of the personal mandate to purchase health insurance mixed up with the entire Obamacare plan which was thousands of pages and gave Sebilius power to write millions of pages of regulations.

Newt denies he is for Obama’s brand of mandate. There’s controversy over that because he seems to be for some version of a mandate which is yet to be well defined. So by default, many people just assumed he’s for the Obama mandate.

There is no evidence that he’s for Obamacare in general, and considerable evidence that he is not.

I did hear Bennett’s interview with Newt. He took him to the woodshed like the parent of a wayward kid.

Newt said he had a call into Paul Ryan and hoped to resolve the matter.

"I don’t think I realized until after Sunday’s Meet the Press how big a threat my candidacy is to the Washington establishment."

No you jackass! You are and long have been a part of the Washington establishment. Withdraw, get out of the way and find a dark hole to stay in until we can elect a real conservative. Take mitt the twit with you.

What a yawner - the two calorically challenged, tubby pubbies, TweedleNewt and TweedleBill, having an empty hissy fit. As in,

Tweedledum and Tweedledee

Agreed to have a battle;

For Tweedledum said Tweedledee

Had spoiled his nice new rattle.

Just then flew down a monstrous crow,

As black as a tar-barrel;

Which frightened both the heroes so,

They quite forgot their quarrel

And these two wets persist in calling themselves conservatives. Gag me with a spoon.

At the rate he’s digging, expect Newt to be shaking hands with a Chinese farmer at any moment.
