Gingrich: Pelosi comments ‘hysterical’
Washington Times ^ | 1/25/12 | David Eldridge

Posted on 01/25/2012 9:26:12 AM PST by Impala64ssa

Newt Gingrich, responding Wednesday to comments from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi that he has no shot at winning the presidency, said his campaign makes his former House colleague and other Democrats “hysterical.” “As my campaign has gotten stronger, the attacks have become more hysterical and more factually incorrect,” Mr. Gingrich said in an interview Wednesday with The Washington Times-affiliated “America's Morning News” radio program. Mrs. Pelosi, who served on the House Ethics Committee when it reprimanded Mr. Gingrich in 1997, referenced that investigation when she offered up similar comments about Mr. Gingrich last month. Mr Gingrich challenged Mrs. Pelosi to “put up or shut up.” “I have no idea what she’s talking about, I don’t think she has any idea what she’s talking about. But bring it on,” the GOP presidential front-runner told hosts John McCaslin and Dana Mills. “When you’re a left-wing Democrat, the prospect of a Gingrich presidency is really sort of like a nightmare. And they’re right. My goal is to go to Washington to change it, not just to get along with the old order.” Mrs. Pelosi, like Mr. Gingrich a former speaker of the House, said on CNN this week that a Gingrich presidency “will never happen.” Asked how she could be so confident, the California Democrat said, without further explanation: “There’s something I know.”

Naughty naughty Newt, it's not nice to call Strech Pelosi "hysterical". That's sexist! When I see the words "Pelosi" and "ethics" in the same sentence my BS sensor goes off the scale!

With regard to Pelosi, I wish Gingrich would just say something like: “Anyone who has attained the position of Speaker of the House, and then tells the American people in all seriousness that ‘we must pass the bill so we can find out what’s in it,’ is not someone that American voters should ever take seriously about anything.”

Newt has never been shy and that's what has the pubbie elite in DC as hysterical as nancy peeloser.

Those squishy senators like hatch, lugar, mcconnel and crew are scared to death of the Newtster.

This shows exactly why I DON’T WANT ROMNEY

They have never attacked Mittens like this. They only attack those they are afraid of.

There are 2 questions that can be asked with Pelosi teasing everyone with this “I know something stuff”

Question 1 - Does she really have something?
Question 2 - Who do the Dems want to face in the general?

By my logic, (for what’s worth), there are 4 scenarios to this.

1. If she really had something on Newt and the Dems would rather face Newt in the general, then there would be no tease at this time. She would have waited until Oct to say anything about Newt.

2. If she really had something on Newt and the Dems would rather face Romney in the general, she would have spilled her guts on Newt and we would already know all the details.

3. If she has nothing, and the Dems still prefer to face Newt in the general, nothing gets brought up at all.

4. If she has nothing, and the Dems prefer to face Romney, then she teases with a bogus story about Newt to send a message to primary voters that something will come out in Oct on Newt if he’s the nominee.

So, I say it’s scenario #4 above that just played out.
4.

I don't think she could get her lips to purse in that stiff botox mask! Reminds me of the song:

You don't tug on superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask of the ol' lone ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim Newt!

nail on head

The establishment want a nice man who will not call a spade a spade instead they want to work with the lunatic left.

Look at Daniels last night , he was the typical republican response, no emotion, just another long winded, emotionless, boring speech.

They refuse to say obama is a socialist even though all facts point to this.

The establishment have no guts what so ever, they’re all just a bunch of pansies wanting to keep their seats and talking heads for the shows and to hell with the base.

She may also be trying to make the Ron Paul base force Paul into a third party election to help elect Obama again.

On Fox & Friends today:

CARLSON: Mr. Romney, what does Nancy Pelosi know if it would be such a bombshell as to why Newt Gingrich couldn't be president?

ROMNEY: I wish I knew what that was [laughter]. I'd tell people what it is right now.

Willard the Rat ...

Yet.

The OWS Stoolpeed Fleabaggers are literally an army made to mock rich little mittens.

Think of how much time, money, and effort, the ENEMEDIA has put into this ridiculous story.

Why? To take down Mitt.

And Mitt's gonna roll over and play dead like a good Socialist R does.

They should be scared; as should America’s enemies, as well.

Did not watch last night; listened to opening (gag) of Daniel's speech; and would never have made it to next paragraph. Rush criticized opening; praised rest of it.

Doubt many, made it to so called 'good parts'; but in listening to Rush's 'cuts'; was not impressed by either delivery OR content.

Some good points; but oh so - too - carefully crafted so as NOT offend. Which made rendered it pap; IMHO.

Cannot stand - as in 'hate' - the faux wisdom of Establishment Republicans. They make nice about a Marxist President; and are killing 'us' as they do so. Or at least, giving it their best shot.

'That said'; love Newt fighting back. He is a political warrior and has the scars to prove it; as do those he takes on.

I hope he continues to diminish those fools like Pelosi; who think they can best him. She can do so; no doubt; at her own political peril.

(Meantime; and 'no question'; warrior mind is what our Country must have, if we are to move forward. Go Newt!

Well the speech was pretty good but Mitchie the Stiff delivered it with all the charisma and appeal of a walnut. Now the GOP establishment wants to try to trot this poor slob out as a presidential candidate.

They are so desparately afraid of Newt Gingrich getting nominated they will do anything to stop him. You are so right that the GOP establishment is totally obsessed with keeping the status quo of their cushy jobs, salaries and power base. The last thing they want is a president who is committed to actually cutting the size and scope of government.

Agree Ga girl, the establishment are clinging to their power, money and corruption and to hell with us out in the real world and especially down here in the south.

They think after living there for so long the north east and the beltway is America and it is not.

Pundits like Coulter, Hannity , Rove, national review etc see their jobs at risk and think if Newt gets this then they are not invited to the white house.

Now if they don’t rock the boat then they think the MSM will take it easy on them and the left will like them .

It truly is pathetic that we have so many spineless cowards in the GOP today.
Even worse that we have so called republican voters thinking Romney is a republican even after they know he will not overturn obamacare, he will defend a VAT, talk to the taliban, support the homosexual agenda

I’ve had it with them and Romney can piss right off as we’re concerned down here.
