Discussion on the Sunday talk shows centered on the budget and the looming debt ceiling, with House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) on CNN’s State of the Union and House Speaker John Boehner (Ohio) on CBS’s Face the Nation. Domestic energy production and the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East also were addressed.

Gingrich: Paul Ryan' s plan is "right-wing social engineering," goes too far
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R) explained that he felt compelled to run for president because "to not seek to help the country to fix the problems we have would have been a failure of citizenship on my part." Gingrich laughed off the possibility of being anyone's running-mate: "Can you imagine any presidential nominee who picked me to be the vice presidential candidate?" He denied charges of racism and said he thinks "Obama loves America" but has "a different idea of what America is." Gingrich said he has had some difficulty separating his role as a political analyst from his desire to be a "disciplined" political leader. "I think that's a fair criticism." Gingrich also addressed his past marital infidelity and two divorces, saying "I've clearly done things that are wrong. People have every right to ask the tough questions."

What is wrong with this Jack Ass? I was telling my friends I wasn’t sure that he would ever redeem himself for sitting on that couch. Now this. Bye Newt. Glad I wasn’t counting on you. Take Mittens with you!
Newt, you would have done us all a favor by retiring to FL and a nice condo. You’re gonna mess up the whole election...
He’s done...stuck his foot in his mouth again.
Gingrich is toast. He’s a wet noodle with no convictions.
Just a few days ago Team Newt issued a statement that Newt was actually debating Pelosi and he isn’t sorry.

Gingrich was once a good house leader but he let his pecker lead him around, to much bagage in my view
Newt knows what history says, but I'm not convinced he ofen knows what it means.
“It doesn’t matter what I do. People need to hear what I have to say. There’s no one else who can say what I can say. It doesn’t matter what I live.”

I didn’t see Governor Palin on that list. We have NEVER elected someone to the presidency who has no government experience (elected or flag rank) so Mr. Cain is probably a non-starter. We have only elected ONE person to the White House who only had the House of Representatives and that was in a strange four-way race in 1860, so Rep. Bachmann is also probably a non-starter. We elect governors, vice-presidents, generals and senators, pretty much in that order.
Maybe when he said he was going to run against Obama, he meant as a Democrat.
Yes, and if you believe that one, there's a link to a nice homeopathic remedy on the sidebar of their web page for you.
I'd puke to death for fun before I'd vote for Noot.
Doesn't that fit right into the definition of insanity?
Buh-bye, Gingrich.
You loser.
Why Pawlenty? I still have him on my “Would vote for, but without any enthusiasm whatsoever.” list.
Governors govern by definition and generals command. Are you saying that Presidents Reagan, Eisenhower, Coolidge and McKinley were a symptom of insanity?
Of course, Ubama was in the Senate barely long enough for a cup of coffee and he did absolutely nothing of substance while there. It would be more accurate to say that America elected a "community organizer" from South Side Chicago.
Congratulations, America, on your "historic" election.
He threw Conservatives under the bus like his second wife.
Pray for America
