Conservative radio host Michael Savage is offering Republican presidential frontrunner Newt Gingrich $1 million if he drops out of the GOP race within the next 72 hours, according to a message on his website.
“Newt Gingrich is unelectable. Mitt Romney is the only candidate with a chance of defeating Barack Obama, and there is nothing more important than that for the future health, safety, and security of the United States of America,” the statement read. “Therefore I am offering Newt Gingrich one million dollars to drop out of the presidential race for the sake of the nation.”
Savage conceded that Romney is “not as strong a conservative as many would like him to be,” but listed the reasons why he thinks Gingrich is a threat to Republicans.
Some have argued that Gingrich’s prowess as a debater would pit him well against President Obama during the election, but Savage said that regardless of how well he does, he will “come off badly compared to Obama and look like nothing more than what he is: a fat, old, white man.”
“If Newt Gingrich really loves this country as much as he says he does, if he really wants what is best for America, he will set his ego aside, call me, and accept my offer,” the statement said. “His continued candidacy spells nothing but ruin for conservatives, Republicans and all true American patriots. One million dollars in exchange for preserving the nation, Newt. I say take the money and don’t run.”

This is just how MSM and Obama wanted it.. We have ZERO to choose from for President.
Why doesn’t he pay Obama to not run? And while he’s at it, I’d be happy to kick in a few bucks. I think we could come up with quite a handsome sum to ask him to leave.
Really?
Calls Gingrich “a fat, old, white man.” Is there any point even taking gutter crap like that seriously?
Michael Savage is so often wrong. He even said that Herman Cain would not find work any more, and couldn’t go back to being a radio talk show host. BUT I heard that Fox News offered Cain a job. I notice they aren’t offering Savage a job.
Pat Buchanan said that if Romney ever won the primaries, it would risk a 3rd party.
“You’ve made this jackass Savage (not his real name) filthy rich by listening to his vomit and buying the trash advertised therein.”
LOLOLOL!
your name suits you
“Who is Michael Savage? Is he that wrestler guy”? Rush Limbaugh
Just watched the C-Span debate with Huntsman & Newt.
They were both better than Romney - and the fact that Newt could go toe to toe with Huntsman on discussing China, Iran, the defense budget, foreign aid and intelligence was icing on the cake.
Romney would have been gobsmacked by both of them.
The RATS must love watching the Repubs circular firing squad. They have the weakest candidate since Jimma Carter and their opponents are too busy cutting each other’s throats to put up a fight. For every bad things these guys say about each other, they should say 2 bad things about the disgusting America-hating marxist in chief.
Romeny has lost the vast majority elections in which he was a candidate. And every campaign he’s involved in, he tends to weaken over time. He’s a weak, plastic, awkward, passionless, and cowardly. He’s a bag of mush. And he is not electable.
ouch! to be leaving marks...
Savage was pushing Trump early this year.
Savage’s show lately has been nothing but promoting his book. He reads passages from it endlessly and compares himself favorably himself to Jack London and Ernest Hemingway.
He dislikes Sarah Palin and has said she could never win. Lately he has been bashing Gingrich endlessly. Few people are as arrogant as Savage.
“Romeny has lost the vast majority elections in which he was a candidate. And every campaign he’s involved in, he tends to weaken over time. He’s a weak, plastic, awkward, passionless, and cowardly. He’s a bag of mush. And he is not electable.”
Jeb Bush is looking pretty good right now. /s
This is good for Newt, it will only strengthen his base.
The media will destroy whoever the (R)s nominate. When half don't pay taxes & almost half are somehow on the government dole how can a conservative ever get elected.
Now this is funny. At the end of the debate when they were asked of whom they admired on the stage, Santorum said Gingrich because he used to listen to Newts tape on conservatism.
Can anyone tell me WTH?
The only reason Savage is enamored with Romney is because, if I remember correctly, he and Romney had dinner together and talked some things out.
I’ve come to realize that Savage loves people who stroke his ego and make him feel important. People call in to his show and slather him with praise, he gets giddy and gives out a free book. Herman Cain shows up, Savage supports him. Romney meets with Savage, Savage supports Romney. After Herman Cain made his second appearance on the Savage Nation, I heard him air his snarling contempt for Michele Bachmann because she wouldn’t come back on his show.
So why do I still listen to Savage, you ask? As of this moment, I no longer do. I’m no fan of Newt, but anyone who thinks he’s worse than Wimp Romney is delusional.
Michael Savage - like Glenn Beck - will only attract listeners while Obama is in office.
People tune in to hear that someone is ‘on their side’. These so-called conservative radio jocks do nothing but use the airways for agiprop and then pocket their millions while their listeners are unemployed, losing their homes and desperate.
That is not to say they don’t support conservative principles- low taxes - small government etc., but they know what butters their bread - CONTROVERSY!!!!
