After being bit by a penguin, Gingrich says he's the underdog

GREENSBORO, N.C. – The day after Newt Gingrich was bit by a penguin at a zoo, he acknowledged he is “the underdog” and said his campaign began renting their donor list because they needed money.

---

“Compared to Barack Obama, Romney’s a conservative,” he said. “Let’s be clear: There are no liberals in the Republican party.”

NBC shouldn't pick on Newt just because he was bit by a Penguin. Most politicians would quit if they were bit by a penguin, too. He is not unique.

And, what heck, for those of us who have donated to Newt, we shouldn't care if he is renting our names. He needs the money.

Further, who is to question Newt when he says that there are no liberals in the Republican Party. We trust Newt, don't we?

Maybe a bite from a penguin is good luck.

This is what happens when we trust in Politicians instead of trusting in God.

Newt is wrong when he says there are no liberals in the Republican Party.

Oi oi, I don’t even know how to respond to this.

Yes, there are liberals in the republican party, Newt, in fact I’d say there are commies, because if you ain’t fighting the commies to the death, then you are one, and they ain’t fighting a damn thing other than the Tea Party.

Oh, and make sure that penguin wasn’t rabid!

Romney is a socialist abortion loving universal healthcare vending gun grabbing one-percenter mormon who keeps all his money safely overseas so communist DC cannot grab it. Romney should go overseas and live with his money and leave us alone. We do not need his interference. Clearly he sold his soul to the media communists or he would not be in the race. He has never articulated why he wants to be president. WHO IS BEHIND THIS GUY? I would love to know who his handlers are. I would suppose Soros Buffet and Gates. Somebody wants to make sure he gets the nomination so he can lose to Obama. Even Charlie Sheen could beat Obama, but Mint will throw the election just like McCain did. What is going on??

Romney does not bear the slightest resemblance to a conservative who cares about the republic and freedom and families and babies and God. He is a big government poster child, checked pants pink shirted rich country club RINO.

I don’t care what Newt’s opinion of Mitt Romney is one way or the other. I can form my own opinion. The media should be asking Mitt Romney what he thinks about Newt and if he will support Newt, not the other way around.

Newt has it in him to do what’s necessary to take our country back. Unfortunately, he retains his Washington-trained instinct to try to control the thinking of voters with rhetoric.

This article is a hit piece (witness the title) on Newt, quoting Newt’s own words. Newt is renting his donor list and telling everyone that there are no liberals in the Republican Party.

The article is not about Romney.

I think he meant to say “There are no conservatives in the Republican party.” Well, maybe 3 or 4.

Typical lack of fact checking, or plain lying, by NBC.

Penguins don’t bite, they have no teeth. They are birds after all.

Really?

“Let’s be clear: There are no liberals in the Republican party.”

That statement is true only if the word "liberal" is redefined. Giuliani, Romney, Huntsman, and other modern-day Rockefellers can only be described as liberals - their actions are to the left of so-called Democrat moderates.
