Newt telling it as it is. Good on you! Has to be said.

“The Republican Party is a managerial party that doesn’t like to fight, doesn’t like to read books,” Gingrich said. “This is why the Tea Party was so horrifying. Tea Partiers were actually learning about the Declaration of Independence. They wanted to talk about the Federalist Papers. It was weird. They [GOP-e]could be golfing." *****************

I'm in, til Newt's out.

The GOP, Fox News, Drudge Report and others pushing RINO2 in 12 is a crapshoot that failed last time they tried it. This time the stakes are the future of America and everyone in it.

They are walking on shaky ground and are not far separated from the slimy lamestream media that already has lost all crediblity. If Obama wins a second term, each of them will share complicity.

I never thought I'd see the day when Newt Gingrich, of all people, would be whining like a petulant child.

Next thing you know a website will marginalize itself.

I sent Newt more money yesterday after Santorum suspended. I couldn’t get through the first time. I’m hoping that was because the website was busy with others donating.

I happen to agree with Newt about Fox. Up until the 2010 elections, I had that channel playing throughout my waking hours as background noise unless I was paying close attention to a topic of interest. Since then, I rarely have a television turned on at all.

As a matter of fact, rather than tune in to Fox for 6pm press conference announcement of specific charges against Zimmerman, I intentionally tuned my TV to CNN (something I've never done intentionally before).

Shame on Fox. Glad to see Gingrich is still up and in their face till the convention.

I wonder if Newt could pull ahead of the inevitable candidate by pulling a last minute 'Hail Mary'. . . by picking Lt. Col. Allen West as a running mate on the eve of the convention?

This article shows what I saw about Newt last week here in Delaware.

He loves Tea Party folks, and spends as much time with them as he can.HE is very gracious, and enjoys the questions and comments from folks, and he is not shy about proposing ideas or defending his positions.

I was one of those 2500 people he mentions at the end of the article.

Folks, he is the last conservative standing. Statrting in little Delaware, he can change the race. To do that he needs your vote if you have not voted yet in the remaining primary states, and he needs your money.

Otherwise prepare to receive Willard, The Anointed.

And prepare for four more years of Obama.

If you give a hoot, you know it’s Newt.

I think he’s right. The only question I have is WHY all the supposedly conservative sources, from Fox to Rush with many stops in between, were so in the tank for Romney. What is his magic?

And why can’t they at least understand that GOP voters just don’t like him?

VinL - you have generally been a strong and positive advocate for your candidate throughout this primary, and I salute you for that. My problem with soooo many of the other Gingrich fans has been there blatant transparency. Rick took FOX to task for shilling for Romney back in mid-March and the Newt fans piled on him for being a crybaby....

Now, Newt does the same thing and he’s “telling it like it is”.

You know... fox is and has always been a gop/e organization. I watched them on C-Band Dish the first day they came up on the bird. They started out as a very Conservative news outlet and they were fair but certainly level headed and marketed themselves as our alternative to all other media. Being the gop/e progressives that they are... murdoch and ailes plotted to boil the frog... but we are not frogs and we are not as dumb as the gop/e and the dims think that we all are. Newt is correct... and as far to the left as cnn is... they have been straight up when dealing with the republican lineup. They do not care who wins the republican nomination... to them... whoever he will be... he will be the enemy regardless and they will already put 100% into reelecting obama.

I voted for Santorum, but I love hearing this fight from Newt!

I hope Santorum supports will switch to Newt now. Not that we can stop Romney from winning the nomination, but we can send a message still to the liberal GOP establishment.

Well, Newt’s out and he knows it.

I don’t know what he has to gain by venting all this bitterness against Fox.

I love the Morning Show and Fox and Friends ... very fun and unbiased.

People claim they want fair and balanced but they really want only their side. I have not seen the bias against Newt... he had a lot of time this morning and last night.

The fact is, he is irrelevant at this point and they are giving him more time than he rates in view of his importance.

Very immature of him to vent this way. He was my candidate after Perry dropped out and I still like him but he keeps making his character flaws more apparent with this kind of stuff.

Newt is on CSPAN right now 10:00 pm EST—his speech earlier tonight at Wellesley College in Dover, DE.

Sorry. Wrong. Newt...and Rick...and Rick...and Michele...and Herman...and even Huntsman got plenty of favorable ink on Fox News whenever they did something worthy of mentioning. Which wasn’t very often. Even Santorum got over-hyped when he would win a given contest but still lose ground in the real race - the delegate count.

I concur with Larry Sabato’s assessment from a few days ago. Many of the R candidates were only in it to burnish their name recognition, future political ambition and speaking fees, etc. Newt is especially included on that list. He never ran a serious candidacy. As in working for two years beforehand raising money, building an organization, getting on all the ballots. And NOT taking off a month last summer to go on a month-long Mediterranean cruise.

I thought Perry might be a player but he bombed out in the first debate and never recovered. Not ready for Prime Time.

We got what we got, folks. Let’s work it and beat Obama.

Gingrich is right. You’d have to be blind not to see it.

Right on, right on, right on. Newt speaks truth to power.

Fox has really been on his case since he made schooled lawyer Megyn Kelly on a legal question in one of the early Fox News debates. But it’s not just Fox.

Nearly the entire “conservative” press hates him more than even the larger lamestream media does, hence his comment that CNN isn’t as biased as Fox is. Hew right, as far as treatment of him and the other Romney opponents goes.

Along with Fox, National Review and the Washington Examiner have been hyping Romney and bashing Gingrich since day 1 of the campaign. All of the writers at American Spectator, with the exception of Jeffrey Lord and Aaron Goldstein, have also been attacking Newt all during the primary season. Add Michelle Malkin and Hot Air’s Tina Korbe and Allahpundit to the list. They really hate Newt. At Human Events, Ann Coulter has been trashing Newt (and Sarah Palin), and we all know who Ann’s been rooting for.

What were until recently reliable right of center news outlets have become corrupt tools of the GOP establishment.

Fox News was not too fond of the Tea Party either. It was very clear that they rallied around Mitt Romney from the start... Rove to Coulter to Imus. Fox supports the establishment after all they are invited to the dinners and cocktail parties with the rinos in charge. It is Newt that would undo the damage done by Obama and turn this nation around...what is to fear?
