Also FTA...

Arnold said he was disheartened by Gingrich's latest comments.

"When you ask somebody a question and you expect them to support all Americans and have everyone's general interest," Arnold said. "It's a little bit frustrating and disheartening when you're told to support the other side, that he doesn't need your support."

Did this man expect Gingrich to change all his positions simply to pick up his support?

One thing you can say about Newt, he doesn't sugarcoat it. He would have probably told the 8 year old boy that the lesbians used to ambush Michelle Bachmann the same thing...

Poll at link....
What do you think about Gingrich's remarks?

Good for him for taking a stand.
What an idiot.
I don't know.

Good for Newt. Let the democrats pander to the queers, they are good at it.

Hey, slow poke...if you’re a Demo-crat, you vote Demo-crat.

Gingrich doesn’t need your vote.

I think Newt's honest answer was eminently refreshing. Newt will treat homosexuals no different than any other citizen, but he will not pander to them.

Is that the best Newt can come up with?

Ok, you oppose same sex marriage and so do I. But, we really want to tell people to go vote for the other guy? God forbid this loose cannon becomes our candidate.

Two thoughts on this:

1. If he’s looking for Gingrich or any other Republican to support gay marriage and gay rights, he’s barking up the wrong tree. It won’t happen and in that limited sense, he would be better voting for Obama.

2. However, if he simply said, “as a gay man, how will you help me?” Newt should have answered “by cutting the deficit, getting Obama’s insane spending under control and keeping the country secure.” Despite what the Left wants people to believe, gay people care about these issues just as much as anyone else.

Newt probably gets a “belly-Full” of all of the FAGGOT BS from his “half-sister”!

Really now ~ the President isn't supposed to be all things to all men. He's supposed to have standards and core beliefs.

If we wanted a political whore there are plenty of them out there ~ and the Democrats have them all!

Being “gay” is an insult to God and an insult to the freedoms we enjoy: to use your freedom to have anal intercourse and engage in other socially harmful behavior is to spit on all the opportunitied - the good choices - freedom provides to you.

Who would want to join forces with such fools?

Being “gay” is NOT the same as having same-sex attraction disorder; the very term “gay” celebrates the disorder.

**** “When you ask somebody a question and you expect them to support all Americans and have everyone’s general interest,” Arnold said. ****

So, uh, Mr. Arnold. What about the Obama administration not campaigning to white working class voters? It’s can be seen as the direct equivalent of what Mr. Gingrich just told you.

I don’t quite see it that way. Gays are NOT a majority, and I believe Mr. Gingrich was telling you he won’t support a radical gay agenda. Obama, with his ambiguous sexuality, seems to be 100% in the radical gay “rights” camp.

You know, it would have been nice to see what Gingrich’s actual statement was. Instead, we have only the characterization provided by a gay activist who was likely trying to bait Gingrich in the first place.

He was clearly looking to bait Newt and he didn’t take the bait. So he’s disappointed that he couldn’t do his zinger follow up question.

Yes!! I wish Newt would have told the “bitch” to take all his queer friends with him and vote for Obama. We don’t want that abomination with us! This country was not created by God for that kind of behavior.

Newt is funny. I guess if we’re going to get drubbed, might as well vote for somebody that will make the loss interesting.

a Democrat, [gay] and associate professor of writing at William Penn University

It was a trap question since this guy will vote for Obama no matter what Gingrich said to him. However, Gingrich missed an opportunity.

Newt should have said that if you vote for me, I’ll see to it that you get the help you so desperately need to be straight again.

The simple fact is many Dem voters vote that way simply because the Dem candidate will pander to them a lot more than a Republican. Not that Pubbies don’t pander, they just don’t do it as much as Dems are eager to do. Most women who vote for Dems do so because of Dems support for unlimited abortions. They care little about other issues like national defense or the economy. For these single-minded selfish Americans, personal issues trump all other issues. That’s what a great majority of Dem voters are: selfish individuals who care more about themselves than their country.

Gingrich should have told the guy that he would pray for him, and ask got to give him the strength to resist the sin of homosexuality. That would have REALLY made the liberals heads explode (and probably locked up the evangelical vote for Newt).
