Really?? Did you ask them about these?

Oh my gosh! I am so very mad I am still shaking. I called the RNC today to get the definitive answer on the Florida delegate count. I was transferred to a young man named Josh and what ensued was the most infuriating, while enlightening, conversation that I have had in a long while.
I first asked my question about the delegates. His convoluted answer was basically that they couldn't impose two punishments, so the one punishment imposed was taking away half of their delegates. I asked him about that rule, was that in writing somewhere. He then proceeded to tell me that he thought that it was funny that no one had a problem with the rule until Newt Gingrich lost and now Gingrich wants to challenge it. Mind you, I had not mentioned that I was a Gingrich supporter. He said that it basically didn't matter anyway. The race wouldn't be that close. Several other things were said about Gingrich, with a tone that made it perfectly clear that he supported Romney and despised Gingrich.
Well, I was getting pretty mad at this point. So I said that the average Conservative voter was pretty upset about the establishment trying to shove Romney down our throats as the "inevitable" candidate, just like they did McCain and Dole. He said, "Newt Gingrich is more of an establishment candidate than any of them". I talked about ruling class and the fact that all of the elite, inside-the-beltway Republicans and Democrats all hated Gingrich for a reason and that intrigued me. He then said that the Democrats would LOVE to have Gingrich as their candidate because they know that they could beat him! Wasn't this guy supposed to be neutral? I was quite mad by now. I said that the Democrats are actually dying to run against Romney, a silver-spoon, live in a bubble being groomed to run for president, multi-millionaire Wall Street guy. He then said, well Newt Gingrich is a multi-millionaire! Uh, hello?!
I asked him what he thought about the false ads that Romney and his supporters were running attacking Newt and his Reagan connections. He said that he didn't live in Florida and he didn't see the ads! I said that he sounding like Romney! Then I said, you work in the political office of the Republican party, shouldn't you know what is going on in all of the campaigns, especially if it is making news. You know that we have this little thing called the "internet" where you can go to see videos. He changed the subject.
THEN he launched into the most shocking attack on Gingrich that I could have imagined. He said "well, this guy has had three wives and investigated the president for cheating on his wife while he was cheating on his wife. Don't you think that is hypocritical?" !!!!!!
I was floored! I said, did I call the RNC or the DNC?!?! I then asked him how old he was (25) and was he really around to pay attention to the impeachment trial in the 90's? He said yes, Newt was investigating a guy for having an affair while he was having an affair and that was hypocritical. I practically screamed at him "it was not about sex, it was about lying under oath!" He then said that the speaker of the house should not have been investigating him in the first place, since he was having sex with another woman at the time. Picking myself up off the floor, I yelled that the investigation was started because of Paula Jones. He said that she was just a slut. I said that she had a legitimate harassment suit against Clinton and he was called to testify under oath and he lied! Josh said that he shouldn't have been investigated in the first place! WOW! I then asked him if he thought that perjury was a crime. He said yes but the House investigated and the Senate did not convict him. He said that the Speaker brought embarrassment on his whole party by investigating Clinton and bringing Impeachment charges. Unbelievable...
I then thanked him for showing me exactly why my Republican party is falling apart. I told him that it is because of people like him that our party has lost its footing, its vision and its mission. I said because of people like him we would end up with 4 more years of Obama and our country no longer resembling the United States of America.
I then hung up the phone and called Newt's office. I relayed everything that this "neutral" kid said to me. Needless to say, they were shocked. As was I..... I hope that I have conveyed my conversation in a way that makes sense to everyone. But I felt that I should share my experience so that we all know that the enemy is inside the gates.
Love it!!!
Ping me to it...I’ll try to help get the word out.

You should have told him he was typical political hack imitating and Ostrich, which puts him in the perfect postion for BOHICA 4 more years of Barack Hussein Obama.
Wow but not surprising.
Thank you. Just learned of the book now, here, and now that!
Thanks. I am headed to Alaska on Saturday and will be on the plane most of the day. Looks like I'll be done with the book by then, so I'll write the thread late Saturday or Sunday.
As I read the book I conclude that we MUST get the word out NOW! It will be too late after we nominate our candidate.
Also, if we fail to get the word out and stop the Romney express, you can be SURE that the Obama minions will be using the very same material to defeat Romney in the general election.
For those who say that Harry Ried is also a Mormon, you need to ask the following question, "Was Harry Ried a ward bishop and a stake president?" Big difference.
Same argument applies to Kennedy and the Catholic connection. Kennedy was never a priest or a cardinal in the faith. Again, big difference.
Nor did he have the aspiration to be the Pope!
We are on the same page.
Good deal. Please ping me if you do start a thread. I downloaded the Kindle version yesterday, but I’ve not had a chance to start reading. I’d love to see a thread devoted to this.
Really?? Did you ask them about these?
In your top picture Newt looks like he’s thinking, “You’ve got to be $hitin me? Are you really this stupid?”
Maybe Pelosi and Rev Al warm your heart but it doesn’t work for me.
Thinking about how he is going to explain his teaming up with Rev Al, Pelosi and Hillary in the future if he ever wants to sell himself as another Reagan to Republicans?
To me it Newt’s look is of great disdain and disgust.
Chgogal (a.k.a sickeroflibs or sickestoflibs)
; )
Maybe it's guilt or realization of what the picture will look like later, err right now.
This one looks more like admiration for the Rev.
