He is not the best-looking guy in Republican race or the best-funded or the most ideologically pure. But he has found his shtick, and he is shticking to it."I tells them what I'm gonna tells them, then I tells them, then I tells them what I told them."
Newt Gingrich is the angriest man in America.Not even close. There are many whose teeth hurt, and stay awake nights.
Mitt Romney will tell you that Barack Obama is a “nice guy” but that he is “in over his head.”
Over his head, yeah, but definitely not a nice guy.
Newt Gingrich will tell you Barack Obama is “the most radical and most incompetent president in our lifetime!”
Radical yes, but tied with carter on competence.
But Obama is more than stupid. He is dangerous. This is important to keep in mind.
definitely.
The Gingrich campaign is based on the notion of perpetual struggle against perpetual perilAnd rightfully so. Socialists never let up, never.
“How many of you believe the left will fight us every step of the way even after we win?” Gingrich asks the crowd.See above.
The next day, Gingrich will win the South Carolina primary. But he already knows that will happen. That is a given. Just like his nomination and election. But even that will not be enough to silence the “secular socialists” who oppose him from the left.
To think otherwise would be folly.
The “left” is a broad category to Gingrich. It includes liberals, socialists, anti-religious bigots, i.e. Democrats, most of the media, some misguided Republicans, and, well, anybody who opposes Newt Gingrich.
Could have just said "most of the media" and left it there.
“We knew there’d be attacks, and the closer we were to winning the more ferocious the attacks would be,” Gingrich says.
Goes without saying.
John King of CNN, who asked Gingrich in a debate Thursday night whether he had ever asked his second wife for an “open” marriage, is part of the ferocious attack machine that seeks to thwart Gingrich.
It was, King was, and Mr. Gingrich was waiting at the plate expecting it down the middle.
“Is the American news media just totally out of touch with reality?” he asks reporters after the rally.
YES. “You want to say: Get a life! There is a consistent pattern year after year that the American people are sick of the behavior of the news media. Sick!”People are waking up to the real enemy.
Anger, umbrage and bitterness are so much a part of Gingrich’s public persona that he likes to attack the very concept of happiness.Boob bait, the two are disconnected.
Gingrich, like other candidates for the Republican nomination, has a fondness for quoting the Founding Fathers, but he now says that when they wrote “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” in the Declaration of Independence, it did not mean what we think it means.Pray tell, what do "we" think it means?
“Happiness in the 18th century meant wisdom and virtue, not hedonism,” Gingrich says without a scintilla of embarrassment, even though he, himself, has pursued a fair amount of hedonism in his lifetime.Does the latter change the meaning of the former?
“And they promised us the right to pursue,” Gingrich continues. “There is no provision for a Department of Happiness. They issued no happiness stamps. And if you said that you were going to take happiness from some and distribute it to others, the Founding Fathers would have asked by what right?”Love the man!
So if we don’t have happiness to look forward to, what does Gingrich offer?Epic fail in creating a viable straw man. Needs to reread what he just wrote, then correct this statement.
“Work is something you need,” Gingrich says. “I don’t think it’s inappropriate for a 12- or 13-year-old to push a mop. We have the finest food stamp president in American history. I want to be the finest paycheck president in history.And we will support you all the way.
“We will never give somebody 99 weeks of money for doing nothing!”Minor correction, "my" money.
The crowd cheers its approval. Imagine people getting unemployment benefits for 99 weeks. For doing nothing! The average weekly unemployment benefit in America in 2010 was about $295, which is hardly a princely sum. But if people faced actual starvation instead of getting food stamps and unemployment insurance, wouldn't’t this be a better country?Might open their eyes and see where the libs have taken us.Might get them off the cough and out the door to start taking care of business.
There are now three Republican contenders with gold medals: Rick Santorum (Iowa), Mitt Romney (New Hampshire) and Newt Gingrich (South Carolina).First two were, and always will be, a joke, until they clean up their respective acts. The third was a reflection of where we are at this time.
But Gingrich is unworried about Santorum and unworried about Ron Paul, who has yet to win anywhere. Only Mitt has the money and organization to beat him, Gingrich believes,True, that, but Romney will fail because Romney’s speeches are filled with optimism and other infantile notions.False. Romney will fail because he is obama light, and we are sick of that shiite, see above.
Americans don’t want sunshine,We want it, for our selves, and into the halls of government. lollipops and rainbowsYou earn the money, buy what you will with it. They want blood, toil, tears and sweat.Incorrect, however, often that what it takes to build something lasting. They want a dependably gloomy man in the Oval Office.Already have one, and he is making the whole world just as gloomy They want Newt!As a breath of fresh air, oh, ans sunshine!
And he believes they will elect him come November.Well yeah. Unlike paul, who is in it for whatever, and santorum, who is building a portfolio, and Mitt, who thinks it is simply his turn.
“It will shock the country,” Newt saysOnly the left. “It will shock the world.They could use it, some wish it were so. And shock is what we need.”The herculean task of cleaning out DC will require changing the flow of the Potomac.
All in all, a so so article of 8th grade English, Ought to start looking for another line of work if he wants to get some more of that there happiness.
Hahahaha... Beautiful post.
I’m loving it. Last week I was depressed, then Newt gave a shallacking to Juan Williams, and I found myself applauding at the TV.
Haven’t been this happy about a candidate since REagan...Did you hear that Ann Coulter?
