"See, that's why Barack's running: to end the war in Iraq responsibly -
to build an economy that lifts every family,
to make sure health care is available for every American -
and to make sure that every child in this nation has a world-class education all the way from preschool to college."~Michelle Obama
Ya fooled me!
I bookmarked that. Incredible. Just incredible. Go Newt!
Thank you very much, Kansas58!! Go, Newt!!
Awesome! I bookmarked that one too!
At any rate, please pray for the LDS citizens of Utah that their vote in the upcoming primary will be based on something more than their common religious affiliation with Mittens.
BTW, thank you all for your very kind replies :-)
Thank you very much, sodpoodle!! And Billy had it right about the lawyers.
You betcha!! Don’t know a better campaigner or better back up to President Gingrich than Governor Palin. Drill, baby, drill!!
" I guess it's more interesting to imagine this conflicted situation here and a strong woman and-- you know? But that's been an image that people have tried to paint of me since the day Barack announced, that I'm some angry black woman."

She is one strange cookie.

Romney Turns Into Pelosi, Peddles Ancient Lies About Gingrich

» Mitt Romney sides with Nancy Pelosi Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion
http://legalinsurrection.com/2012/01/mitt-romney-sides-with-nancy-pelosi/
So Romney is going on attack. The centerpiece will be Newt Gingrichs consent to a single ethics violation (out of 84 charged) in the 1990s. The process was highly politicized by Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi. Newt ultimately was vindicated by the IRS on the issue, but you wouldnt know it from Romneys speech yesterday in Florida:
Speaker Gingrich has also been a leader, the former Massachusetts governor said. He was a leader for four years as speaker of the House. And at the end of four years, it was proven that he was a failed leader and he had to resign in disgrace. I dont know whether you knew that, he actually resigned after four years, in disgrace.
Romney continued: He was investigated over an ethics panel and had to make a payment associated with that and then his fellow Republicans, 88 percent of his Republicans voted to reprimand Speaker Gingrich. He has not had a record of successful leadership.
In 1999, Brent Bozell wrote a great column about how the media covered up Newts vindication, Newt Is Vindicated, But Nobody Knows It:
The judgment is in. After three and a half years of investigation, the IRS has cleared Newt Gingrich and his allied nonprofit groups of any violation of the tax laws in the controversy over his television history course Renewing American Civilization.
So after having run countless news reports highlighting the accusations that ultimately forced Gingrich to pay a $300,000 fine, did the media correct the record with a decent airing of the decision? Are you ready? ABC, CBS, and NBC devoted exactly zero seconds to Newt Gingrichs vindication. Only CNNs Brooks Jackson filed a decent TV report, on the early-evening show Inside Politics.
Gingrich issued a statement that clearly expressed his feelings: I consider this a full and complete vindication. I urge my colleagues to go back and read their statements and watch how they said them, with no facts, based on nothing more than a desire to politically destroy a colleague.
But the damage hadnt been done simply by devious politicians like Bonior, but by journalists. In the face of Newts innocence, some reporters couldnt muster even a regret.
Also .
Update: Thanks to Shortwave8669 in the Tip Line for the video link ((about the false controversy about Newt’s college courses)):
Takeaway: CNN: But it turns out he was right, and those who accused him were wrong.
And Mittens Romneycare, the unashamed campaigner for socialized medicine, is still lying, and still wrong, today.
