How many more lies can you swallow before you say ENOUGH ALREADY? Have you learned anything from the broken promises and campaign bullshit of the Bush and Obama years? I promise you I will leave this country if Gingrich becomes President or if Obama is re-elected. That is IF I will be allowed to leave.
Alfie==that was a good one. Haven’t seen you post that 15 times before. When did Rush say that?
Newt convinced me he will be the nominee…read the last paragraph…its strategic genius…every attack on a fellow conservative only cost the attacker…yet they couldn’t perceive that. Gingrich does…he had the intellectual capacity to run over Obama like a stampede.
WEST DES MOINES, IOWA — A very confident New Gingrich asserted to ABC News Thursday afternoon that he will be the Republican presidential nominee.
“I’m going to be the nominee,” the former Speaker told ABC News. “It’s very hard not to look at the recent polls and think that the odds are very high I’m going to be the nominee.”
The bold assertion came after Gingrich refused to criticize the Republican challengers who have begun attacking him and his record.
TAPPER: “How do you respond to Republicans who say if you don’t draw distinctions with Mitt Romney and others who are attacking you, if you don’t point out their perceived vulnerabilities, Barack Obama and the Democrats sure aren’t going to share that same reluctance and you are doing Obama a favor by staying positive?”
GINGRICH: “They are not going to be the nominee. I don’t have to go around and point out the inconsistencies of people who are not going to be the nominee. They are not going to be the nominee.”
TAPPER: “You are going to be the nominee?”
GINGRICH: “I’m going to be the nominee. It’s very hard not to look at the recent polls and think that the odds are very high I’m going to be the nominee. And by the way I don’t object if people want to attack me, that’s their right. All I’m suggesting that it’s not going to be very effective and that people are going to get sick of it very fast. And the guys who attacked each other in the debates up to now, every single one of them have lost ground by attacking. So they should do what they and their consultants want to do. I will focus on being substantive and I will focus on Barack Obama.”
He doesn’t care about actually being President. He’s a political entrepeneur marketing himself. And you just bought it. And you’ll probably buy his books, boost his ratings on TV, and do his marketing.
Welcome to the new Republican party.
He convinced you by saying “I’m going to be the nominee” repeatedly?
Wow, tough sell.
What ever happened to Trump, Bachman, Paul, Cain? Geez an endorsement from alfie is like the Al Pacina political kiss of death, you broke my heart Fredo, you broke my heart.
HEY DVORAK: There have been 2-3 new posts to this thread. HOW is anyone supposed to find them?
How about a list of the most recent comments===you know, for anyone actually interested in your forum? Should be just a checkmark in a drop down menu somewhere?
Yea. sure. You will leave. Just like that idiot actor Alec Baldwin.
Anybody but Obama. This current President is an embarrassment, and I don’t like ANY of his policies. He is too far left, and scares me. But since I have everything I need, I will be ok. It’s the people who come after me that are screwed.
I believe he is going to be a one term president, and that’s why the left keeps smearing the top Republican, knowing that is the favorite to be the next leader.
Cain? A jerk who should never have been in the race, considering his background. Asshole. A credit to his race, certainly.
ABO–other than taking a step towards Socialized Medicine in order to stop the double digit inflation caused by the waste and fraud of for profit medicine==what do you find so unacceptably lefty with Obama?
I am disgusted by Obama because as all rational people have discovered, he is but Bush light. But then Bush is now too moderate for the Republican Wing of the BatShitCrazy Teapot Party.
Top 3? Stretch Yourself. Don’t start babbling.
None of the candidates focus on the important.
The basic truth of existence is that if Americans aren’t able to freely drive 4x4s and live in big houses kept at 72 year round, the ENTIRE UNIVERSE serves no purpose and might as well be destroyed. If you base all decisions and priorities off that INARGUABLE fact, you will go down the right path.
So get over it already…
Newt is no more or less full of shizit than Obama or any of the other Republican “contenders”.
I think it is kind of sad that Newt might really be the best the Republican Party has to offer. This is a guy who had an affair during the Clinton impeachment time period and has taken over a $1 M in consulting fees from disgusting Freddie or Fannie grotesque Government Mortgage Bailout entities … which means the taxpayer. Anyone in the Tea Party should balk at that.
And it is a joke that Hermit Cain was ever considered a serious candidate after the sexual harassment allegations with that super-strong denial “And if there was a settlement, I wasn’t involved in it.”
Lovely political system we have where the “best this country has to offer” is this lame.
You know … if those Occupy Whatever people and the Tea Party actually started to think — instead of both entities being puppets — they might notice they have the same goals.
The smell is everywhere. It is the smell of a government in bed with corporations playing off divided citizens like fools.
They may have similar criticisms, not the same goals.
The tea party believes Government is the problem. Occupy sees unchecked corporate power as the problem.
Opposite answers to the same problem.
Newt Gingrich is just the sort of candidate both parties really want. Someone so disagreeable to the public that they’ll register in droves to vote against him. Thus insuring the survival of the sham that is the American system of elected representation. That gets voted into office by the many, only to represent the richest few. The more who vote, only manage to sustain the sham. And election reforms will never happen, if it’s in no danger of discontinuing. That’s why such candidates as Gingrich are even seriously considered. And why lame issues such as same sex marriage, take priority over budget limits, more employment and taxes. The hot button crap and candidates get the citizens into the voting booths. And the results hurts no one’s wealth, who really matters.
Noob Gingrich is shifting strategy to “yeah, I’m an asshole and I’m proud of it”. This is actually smart as Teapublicans sheeple really want a cocky, arrogant SOB to run things. The recent statesman like demeanor is hard to sustain anyway.
The question is, will it hold with the thinking public? Unlikely.
Mitt Romney is the pick of the litter (garbage), you watch. He will make ‘suggestions’ as to his running mate to seal the deal. A Perry pick will de-pussify his ticket, bring in corporate mafia money, the Christian Taliban and Texas.
With Mother Theresa gone, Noob simply will have a hard time softening his ticket.
I said it before and I’ll say it again: Newt Gingrich is the most qualified candidate to become president. It would seem that we prefer devils and dummies to become our leaders. Therefore, Newt is perfect and now seems to finally be on track towards getting there. He’s also about the only devil in a room full of dummies too (Obama included)!
“I promise you I will leave this country if Gingrich becomes President or if Obama is re-elected”
Bon voyage. Oh and don’t forget to close the door on the way out.
seen you here before.
