Gingrich on Romney’s ‘gifts’ comments: ‘It’s nuts’

"It's nuts," Gingrich told guest host Martha Raddatz on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. "First of all, it's insulting. This would be like Wal-Mart having a bad week and going, 'The customers have really been unruly.' I mean, the job of a political leader in part is to understand the people. If we can't offer a better future that is believable to more people, we're not going to win."

There goes Gingrich. Notice the end of his quote. "If we can't offer a better future that is believable to more people, we're not going to win". The nation used to offer freedom and that was it's greatest gift. Now, almost all politicians are big government gangsters. Notice how the stock market is held hostage by politicians and their votes on fiscal cliff deals, budgets, debt ceilings. It was never supposed to get to the point, where the failings of govt. stewardship effected the markets more than anything else. That right there takes away freedom.

Yet another reason to add to Gingrich’s baggage and why he lost and should never have entered the primaries.

"First of all, we didn't lose Asian-Americans because they got any gifts. He did worse with Asian-Americans than he did with Latinos. This is the hardest-working and most successful ethnic group in America--they ain't into gifts.

Young Asian-Americans are not the same as the ones Newt remembers.

Newt, lighten up, the primary season ended months ago.

There goes the Newt would have been better than Mitt concept.

[FR_addict]

Gingrich is nuts. He isn't any different than the other RINOs

“There goes the Newt would have been better than Mitt concept.”

Yep!

Crazy how the debt ceiling made it easier for the government to borrow money, and now it’s considered a problem. What a shocker.

[rbg81]

Romney was spot on. But, the problem is that no one can say the obvious any more. Which just proves what a bind Conservatives are in.

Let's see...Freedom versus Free Phones, Free Food, Free Housing, Free Heat, Free Transportation, Free Medical, Free MONEY and you DON'T HAVE TO WORK A DAY IN YOUR LIFE!!!!!! Hard to compete when this has been GENERATIONS in the making.

Republicans better start explaining wht BIG GIVERNMENT MEANS!!

“There goes the Newt would have been better than Mitt concept.”

Ditto.

[SatinDoll]

” “I think we lost the election because the far right of this party has taken the party to a place that it doesn’t belong.” “ This comment is from Carlos Guitierrez, a Romney adviser.

Gutierrez and others are the problem, not Gingrich.

I understand what Gingrich is saying, you obviously do not. Romney could NEVER bring himself to sell the conservative strengths involved in liberty and the responsible use of that liberty.

Romney has always been a liberal, a life-long Lib.

Go ahead and say the obvious; sometimes people need to be smacked upside the head with the hard truth. Four years from now, voters who voted to receive Obama’s gifts, may realize that the country has no more money for their gifts anymore. Then, those people will probably not even vote in 2016.

Once China calls our debt; I hope those who received Obama’s gifts are the first ones sent over to China to work off the debt. It’s like having to stay and do the dishes, when you can’t pay the restaurant tab.

The bad Newt returns. The good Newt would have stood by the “gifts” comments and explained it better than Mitt.

The bad Newt and the good Newt - one of the stories of the primary campaign...

Gingrich is wrong.

Freedom is the most precious gift of all. It is the only future.

What you are seeing is a party that does not understand the reason it exists, and it does not understand that it stands for nothing.

The GOP is doomed.

[GeronL]

Newt called himself the utlimate insider, he did mean it, you know.

[tsowellfan]

You are right. Newt said it best.

[SkyPilot]

Why we are doomed and Romney was right.
