In the article, he explains how he is going to more effectively reply starting to SC.
And most of it seems to be from Karl Rove and his pet Mitt.
I am struggling to see how you like Newt more than Mitt. They both seem like big government guys, but one seems steady and the other seems like a loose cannon.
Well, it is nice to see that politicians are finally figuring out what most of us have know all along. Politicians are really nasty, vicious, negative and disgusting...
I could easily vote for newt, not romney, but Newt, not huntsman, but Newt, but I would be very hesitant to vote for a Newt/Palin ticket.
I place his odds at firsty/firsty
Newt telling it like it is which is going to piss off the Newt-haters even more.
Good!
I respect Gingrich for two reasons:
He effectively neutralized Bill Clinton.
He was the first deliberate liberal target of a Saul Alinsky style personal destruction (with zero help from other Republicans at the time).
Gingrich get it. He’ll be a fighter, and he won’t pretend it’s someone else doing the fighting like Romney.
Romney is every bit as nasty as Karl Rove. He just used plausible deniability. I do not respect Mitt.
I very much, respect Gingrich.
Rombot,
Are you calling Flippity Flopney of Massachusettes steady?
LOL!
What a coincidence. I heard one of Newt’s nasty ads on radio this morning. I have tried to give Newt a chance, but just when I am about to say YAY, he says or does something to kill it. And he is way too conciliatory on the #1 issue for patriotic Americans: illegal immigration. Newt is a self-contradicting chameleon, or as we used to say, a yo-yo.
Newt is being attacked.
When being attacked, fight back.
It’s that simple.
You have to admit, Newt plays a great victim.
Yes after all putting the squash on Hillarycare and her sleazy husband was such baggage.
Do you ordinarily use language like that?
Yeah, he's pulling out all the stops on all the roles (who can count them?) that he plays. I actually think he is the most entertaining candidate, but we need more than an entertainer.
Really?
Newt's first wife, Jackie Battley was his high school geometry teacher. He started "seeing" her when he was 16-18 years old. When he was eighteen she was twenty-five. Marianne Gingrich said he was just 16 when he started that relationship.
Newt is a weird man
And he won back congress for us after 40 years in the wilderness. I kinda like that.
“Newt is a weird man”
Not to argue the point that Newt is a weird man, but what’s all that weird about a sixteen year old blob of hormones falling for his twenty-something year old teacher?
Newt was a teenager FGS - the teacher was in the position of power and should not have begun that relationship.
No matter - the couple had two daughters and he was a good father.
That first marriage - at such a young age might very well have influenced his subsequent relationships.
