Clinton Says Gingrich 'Just Like Romney'
US News & World Report ^ | January 18, 2012 | Paul Bedard

Bill Clinton, the original "comeback kid" doesn't see much hope for a resurgence by Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, dissing him in a new interview as a Romney clone because of issues the former speaker has flip-flopped on.

Clinton, who is on the cover of the upcoming issue of Esquire, puts down the speaker who has bragged on the campaign trail of how he worked with Clinton to reform welfare and balance the budget.

Clinton doesn't giving any love back. In an excerpt provided to Whispers, the former president says, "As a private citizen he was for certain important health-care reforms and believed in climate change and believed there had to be a strong reaction to it. And now he's just like Romney. Neither one of them can say what they believe to be true and get nominated. Romney's still trying to figure out what he did as governor of Massachusetts and still appeal to this driving vituperative energy."

RE :" We are hosed."

A couple of months ago my tagline was "We are screwed", same idea.

“He’s Pelosi’s boy toy for all practical purposes.”

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The above statement just awarded the (dis)honor of being the silliest ad hominem of the day!

Isn't it lovely that the First Rapist, the Bent One, cares so much about the internal strains of the opposition party?

I can't help wondering who the hell would take him seriously in the conservative movement? His and Obama's support base hasn't a clue about the significance of anything he says, but don't need it anyway; their political acumen is negative.

Not surprising you’d believe a liberal who is a known liar/deceiver.

GO NEWT! Squash the maggots!

I wonder what Clinton’s MOTIVE is with this?

The poster obviously had no clue.

I trust both Sun Tzu and Clausewitz (as well as Horowitz) noted that causing dissention in the enemy camp is worth a few extra divisions on your side...

As far as I’m concerned, Obama would destroy either man. Romney on the things we talk about and Gingrich on the things we try to ignore.

Exactly.

Hey, billy jeff, there's a skirt over there. Why don't you run along and chase it so the grownups can talk?

Oh I’m sure Clintoon has nothing but nice things to say about Santorum.

When you have to lean on stuff from him to knock Newt, then you might as well give up.

OK, so now Slick Willie is criticizing Newt for “reaching across the aisle” as being a flip-flopper.

In another sentence, “reaching across the aisle” will be construed to be a good thing.

Clinton is the living definition of SLICK.

Obama may be greasy, but Clinton takes the prize for being the greasiest politician that ever lived.

About Romney + Gingrich; Bill ClinTOON says:

"....Neither one of them can say what they believe to be true and get nominated....."

I believe that exact same sentence can be uttered 'Much More Truthfully' in reference to Hussein Obama + Hellary Clinton in the run-up to 2007/2008.

So you don’t believe Pelosi when she publicly says she has the goods on Gingrich? Or are you pretending she never said it? Marxist demrats live in a pretend world. I wonder.....

Nice “timing” on this story with the “bombshell” by Mitt’s butt-boy.
