I may get beat up for this comment, but that was a very sad news conference sounding very petty and whiny. I have been saying this for weeks, Newt was on top when he was focusing his broadsides on the Obama administration and the liberal news media. He has aloud Romney to get into his head, forcing him to focus his sights on Romney and only Romney. If he wants to reclaim the lead he needs to reboot his campaign and do what he was doing when he claimed the lead in the first place. Back on Obama, Newt

It was necessary for Newt to get some shots in at the liar obamney, the heck with political correctness crap from the media. Newt said obamney was a liar, same as huckabee has said. Newt said obamney fired his debate coach, that needed to be said. The minimum wage index from obamney and the poor people safety net also. I dont understand people wanting Newt to stand up on a podium after being negatively attacked with $18M ads and be mr. nice guy.

What Newt needs to understand is that, while he is pissed at Romney (and many of us here), most are not, BUT there are a TON of Americans who viscerally hate Obama. He needs to tap into that again. They want to vote for a guy that wants to take it to Obama. Not a guy that wants to in-fight with someone in their party that they aren't all hopped up about. At this moment in time Obama is the one destroying their country and lives, Romney is not...

IMO, that presser was a disaster. He gave fodder to the press and meat for Romney. If he is not careful he runs the risk of appearing to be the guy that is in it, not to right the course of America, but the guy that has a personal vendetta against Romney and is hanging around to damage him.

He is allowing Romney to live in his head rent free. Newt, STOP IT!!!!!

Hopefully, the average voter wasn't tuned in and it won't matter much.

I agree. He didn’t look good at all. The best course for Newt is to slam zer0 repeatedly, and show that he’s the best at it. In that speech tonight whem he went after the zero admin on they’re blatant anti-religious freedom crusade, he was brilliant. He needs to focus on that and not even mention the word “romney”.

I agree with you. Newt should ignore Mittens and focus his fire on Obama.

I didn’t find the presser to be whiney. Actually, I thought it was a good alternative to a speech. But that’s just me.

In the beginning, Newt was running a clean campaign. IMO, Mitt took control and forced him into defense mode. I guess that is a good political strategy on Mitt’s part. I hope Newt can get back to his message.

Conversely, although a lot of valuable time is being wasted, shooting down Mitt..silence doesn’t seem to be very effective either. As I recall..GWB tried to take the high road and we all know how that worked out.

The media has defined Newt as “sore loser guy”. I don’t agree. He has to beat Mitt before he can beat O.

I disagree.

Newt demonstrated he could go one on one with the Jon Stewart media while letting the GOP-Proud establishment know he was not going to be bullied.

Then he gave a homework assignment to the voters to find out what the 1% has to say about the difference in Obama and Romney. I seriously doubt many Americans have ever heard of $0r0$ and his function in funding liberal policies and politicians.

The Jon Stewart media is NOT going to be throwing the ‘bain-washed’ Romney a life vest when the sharks of the liberal party start cleaning his 1% clock.

He plans to show the difference and contrast between him and romney in a factual way... without resorting to negative attacks, unless necessary. He will not unilaterally disarm. And then making the same contrast between himself and Obama. Soros’ endorsement of Willard Your Worst Nightmare plays into that nicely.

He plans to do both, and needs to do both simultaneously. Willard has been disguising who and what he really is. Willard isn’t in Newt’s head, you heard some jackwagon reporter say that, so mimicking the press talking points, in a very genuine and concerned way, of course.

I don't see the news conference as sad and whiny. I watched it 2 times after the people on Fox were very unfair. It was not at all. Biggest point he hit Romney as being dishonest so that will carry on. Newt has to take any opportunity that he can because he has everyone in the media against him. He is just an authentic person, gusty and bold ideas driven. He has been hit very hard and he is still standing. I have to respect that vs. pulling him apart.

I agree with you, I wish Newt would refocus on Obama. When Newt’s conference came on, someone in our group said “how long before he starts talking about the poor people comment by Romney”. . .Sure enough, when he did, several people groaned and said it made Newt look very petty because Romney had already explained that multiple times. Too bad Newt didn’t mention the false employment numbers being spewed by Obama and his news organization!

He has aloud Romney to get into his head

The very same silly suggestion was made at the presser. One could as well say the MSM has allowed Newt to get into their heads. Newt is trying his best not to allow a liberal RINO to get into the White House.

I hope you don't teach history. Paul Revere would have "aloud" the British to get into his head? FDR let Hitler get into his?

I respectfully disagree ... Newt is here to FIGHT and WIN ...


As Rush Limbaugh said ... (paraphrased) ... "the Florida exit polls (Baptists supporting Romney, etc) DO NOT matter when Romney has run 65 "negative" TV spot every one TV spot that Newt Gingrich had the budget for ... 13,000 versus 200"




Think Korea, Chosin Reservoir ... 10,000 U.S. Marines surrounded by 250,000 Red Chinese ...

even the U.S. Marines pulled-out ... albeit as "Fighting and Chinese Kick-Ass Retreat" as General Chesty Puller described it ...




Newt's Saturday night speech was VERY important ...

His target audience was those 200,000 plus "little-guy donors" who have given $ 200 or less ... pretty much maybe all they can afford ...

I am in that number ($ 300) ...

American Patiots (in that number) are THE ONES that work campaign phone banks, walk neighborhood precients, attend rallies, are the political "Boots on the Ground" ...

We are Newt Gingrich's "Chosin Reservoir Marines" ... fighting desperately against 65:1 financial odds ...

We are Winton Churchill's Royal Air Force (RAF) ... fighting desperately against the NAZI-style propaganda machine ... funded by George Soros, Bush-41 and Barbara and Jeb, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid ... and by the "world-wide" Temple of Mormon ...




"WE SHALL RETURN" ... however ... just as (my namesake) General Douglas "Dugout Doug" McArthur said of the temporary U.S. retreat from the Phillipines in 1942 ...

The "same" General Douglas McArthur that engineered the "courageous" and "brilliant" Inchon Landings ... that BROKE THE BACK of the North Korean army ...

left them shattered in dissary, defeated in detail ...

And let History record that "THIS WAS THEIR FINEST HOUR" in America's Twenty-First Century ...




Today (this Sunday morning) I PROUDLY stand (as a Florida resident) with Newt Gingrich ...

Two (2.000) Newt 2012 campaign signs are STILL in my front yard ... where they will remain ... even "after" Newt Gingrich is elected President of the United States ...

And as Newt predicted ... "We will WIN in Tampa" at the GOP Convention ...

and ... "We WILL defeat Barrack Hussein Obama" in November 2012 for the Presidential election ...




=====================================


Has it occurred to ANYONE (even astute Free Republic observers) ... and that (neo-nitwit soap-selling cynical media whore Mark Steyn) ...

WHY ... WHY ... WHY ... ???

the political "long-knives" are being murderously thrust into Newt Gingich ...

especially by GOP E-RINOs (specifically like "Barbara Bush") ...

BECAUSE Newt Gingrich is the FIRST PRESIDENT (since Thomas Jefferson in 1802) that wants to Constitutionally) "castrate" the "completely" OUT-OF-CONTROL U.S. Federal Judiciary ...

Specifically (again) ... "TREASONOUS traitors" (calmly, deliberately stated) like SCOTUS Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg ...

who "astoundingly" stated this week that the U.S. Constitution WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH for Egypt ... and that the (Animal Farm, corrupted, socialist) constiution of South Africa was better than what Jefferson, Hamilton, Payne, (et al honorarium) penned ...

pledging their "lives, fortunes, and sacred honor" ...


=====================================



For Me ?

Newt's Saturday night speech is his way of saying "NUTS!!!!" to the Romney Campaign ... George and Barbara Bush ... and his "friends" at the New York Times ...

I stand with Newt Gingrich ... I stand for FREEDOM ...
