Tell Michael Savage I’ll take “fat, old and white” ANY DAY over the “Occupy White House” movement that’s currently squatting at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.!
Savage/Weiner has no credibility anywhere.
I HAVE ENUMERATED THE REASONS WHY GINGRICH CANNOT SUCCEED IN AN ELECTION AGAINST OBAMA:
•WHEN HE WAS SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, GINGRICH FAILED TO DELIVER ON HIS SO-CALLED CONTRACT WITH AMERICA
False. Not only did the Contract with America deliver the first Republican House majority in 40 years (something most conservatives had long since viewed as an impossiblility), it carried through on every single one of its promises.
•HE MADE ADS WITH NANCY PELOSI PROMOTING THE FALSE THEORY OF GLOBAL WARMING.
Gingrich's views at the time this ad was made were based on the best information at the time, which turned out to have been falsified by consirators at East Anglia University. Any opinions he may have expressed before 2009 are moot. His current position is that he believes the earth is indeed getting warmer, but that we do not know why. If this is Weiner's second strongest argument against Gingrich, he has no argument.
•HE’S IN FAVOR OF AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS.
Fearmongering is a favorite tatic of liberals. It is the reason why we have spent the past few decades not solving the Social Security crisis. These are the facts: Newt Gingrich is the only candidate who actually has a comprehensive immigration plan, and his plan does not offer amnesty to anyone.
•HE’S TAKEN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FROM FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC, TWO OF THE MOST CORRUPT FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN HISTORY.
A lot of people have made money from mortgage securitization, the largest credit market in the world. The more relevant question is: What, exactly are you, Michael Weiner accusing the former speaker of? To me, this sounds like more vague fearmongering.
•HE’S CHEATED ON TWO WIVES AND LEFT BOTH OF THEM WHILE THEY WERE BOTH SERIOUSLY ILL, WHICH WILL DESTROY HIS CHANCES AMONG FEMALE VOTERS.
These are lies which originated in the pages of the ultra-left magazine Mother Jones. If, and when, Gingrich chooses to address them, he is going to come off as a victim here.
•HE CALLED THE REPUBLICAN PLAN TO REFORM MEDICARE “RIGHT WING SOCIAL ENGINEERING.”
While Gingrich conceeded that his choice of words was unfortunate, his position, that no political party has the right to impose dramatic change against the consent of the governed, is one that a majority of of conservatives actually agree with. More fearmongering.
•IN A PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE AGAINST OBAMA, REGARDLESS OF HOW WELL HE DOES, ON TELEVISION, HE WILL COME OFF BADLY COMPARED TO OBAMA AND LOOK LIKE NOTHING MORE THAN WHAT HE IS: A FAT, OLD, WHITE MAN.
Last time we checked, Mitt Romney was as white or whiter than Newt Gingrich, and older than Obama. Is Weiner suggesting that voters will relate better to the "Super Rich White Man?"
The throwback to 1979/1980 was that people said a washed up actor from California was unelectable, dangerous, volatile, a ‘bomb thrower’. Yet, he won and helped end the Cold War and rebuilt America.
I tell you what, I’d pay Savage and Glenn Beck a million dollars to shut the F*#( up!
I never considered the possibility that we could actually end up with someone worse than Juan McCain or George W. Bush until Newt surged to the front of the pack.
The Republican Party seems incapable of nominating a decent national candidate for the presidency. It is terrifying to think that Newt could actually end up with the nomination. Just imagine all the people he will take down with him.
If I am thinking this, then legions of independent voters are thinking the same way. Newt is not an option. I would rather have the status quo than Newt.
As long as Obama is president, we are on the offensive and he inspires resistance. Can you imagine what it would be like to be stuck with Newt for four long years?
I’m left wondering if 3/4 of the people on this thread even listen to Savage or if they’re just spouting DU talking points.
Several of you are not just wrong, you’re off the reservation.
Maybe you’re all Lindsey Graham supporters?
Now I understand why the British won’t let him in their country!
I have not posted/replied on this site for ages, but this is too important to ignore.
Michael Savage is a nut case. He is EXACTLY the type of person that gets Conservatives labeled as insane. Sure, some of his statements are accurate, but his entire mode of operation, in order to get attention and ratings, is to be as controversial as possible.
Look, Newt certainly is not perfect, but if we have any real aspirations of electing someone who is truly compentent and intelligent and reasonably Conservative as President, we need to stand with Newt Gingrich.
The past is the past. Stand with him against the personal attacks that are sure to rain down; Stand with him on his more than reasonable vision of America’s future, (Yes FUTURE), and let’s get this man elected, and end the nonsense of Obama.
Above all, refuse to condone the show boat radicalism of either the extreme left or extreme right. Michael Savage is the absolute wrong person to be driving any realistic Conservative platform.
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.How much was Savage paid to pimp for Romney?

What's wrong with that? Are we supposed to reject a candidate on the basis of appearance, ageism or skin color? Find something substantive to complain about, Savage.
I'm still not firmly in any of the GOP's offerings. But hey, I object to the "fat, old and white" pejorative.
I had liked listening to Savage but after this I am not sure what to think.
I am skeptical and have my doubts on Newt but I have made up my mind on Mitt.
Savage should have offered the money to Mitt.
Dr. Weiner is a very wise man. The polls this morning proved his theory.
So we have to have a candidate with sex appeal? Really? A happily married Mormon? SEX appeal counts....can’t be an old fat fuddy dud who horn-dogged his way through 3 marriages?
