No to Newt - too much baggage burdens ‘90s retread

[Rebel]

There are two things wrong with your post:

1) My "homo", "rice-eating ChiComs", and "raghead" comment was not aimed at anyone in this forum, the way your insults are aimed directly at me.

Exactly. You generalized. Something the leftists "generalize" us as doing all the time. It's almost as if you came here to "act" conservative, but with no knowledge about conservatism, just playing the part of what you erroneously perceive conservatives to be.

2) You gave the excuse that you don't trust me as a reason to insult me. Now I will insult you: That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard a Moderator say. That comment proves you to be an imbecile. You don't trust me? Am I supposed to trust someone who thinks its okay to insult every person he doesn't trust? What kind of twisted stupiditiy is that? No wonder you can't ever give a straight answer to my posts: You haven't the wit to.

Insults really don't bother me. Never have. Hate to burst your bubble, but if what you just posted was supposed to be insulting, you need to take a few lessons. That was pathetically weak.

And why do you care about my nuts? You want them to bounce off your chin, ****head? Stick that up your ass and sit on it.

I'm not gay. No thanks.

I'll lay off, Crusader. Have fun.

I was talking of his record, not his skill, although his record does reflect on his skill.

Again: He is one of the few talking head commentators who has actually accomplished things in the White House. Am I in error with that statement? You guys keep on my butt, but you have not blatantly said I was in error, and that's because I am not.

Just because I design this season's "must have" little blue dress doesn't mean I can adequately predict who will wear it and what kinds of stains she will get on it...or whether the next "must have" will be a little pink dress because it hides particular stains better. The man may have accomplished things in a DEMOCRAT administration (being an expert on bimbo eruptions and toe sex are areas of expertise, I guess) but he's glaringly, exceedingly, constantly wrong about his predictions. He absolutely dismisses anyone NOT part of the elite. Bachman and Palin don't even exist as potential contenders.

To be fair, those predictions may have been germane in other election years but this is not going to be a typical year. The PEOPLE are fed up with the elite. While the elites try to engineer "change" (that includes the Newt & Romney's of the world) we in flyover country, even in the squishy middle, are screaming for common sense.

All of this baloney about intelligence makes me wants to go puke. Please, please give me someone with above average intelligence with a lot of common that did NOT go to Harvard, who is not an elitist or a career politician. Most of the candidates fit that bill. So,I say no to Romney, Newt and the rest of the the DC politicians. Bush and Obama have got this country heavily in debt, and it is going to take an outsider to clean up the mess not some fool who thinks that they can compromise with Democrats or who think Pisslosi is a nice lady. .

Gingrich Apologizes to Paul Ryan for Medicare Criticism

Not buyin' it.

What? Is there a tipping point? Where you get to be so smart, that you become stupid?

I've heard him on numerous shows explaining away what he meant. To a point--a very narrow point--his explanations are marginally plausible...

...BUT...

...its akin to being a comedian that tells a joke that so shocks the audience at his debut appearance he's booed off stage before he can finish the rest of his act then spends the next 4 days explaining the nuances of the joke...

...then goes back to insisting the joke was worth hearing in the first place.

If you have to spend day after day explaining it then maybe it wasn't worth saying.

If there is, Newt is the guy to find it.

Literature--and prisons, for that matter--are full of examples of intelligence leading to hubris leading to tragedy. Aristotle first defined it.

Gringrich & Co. apparently unaware of "The First Rule o Holes"

When asked by The Huffington Post about media coverage this past week, Gingrich press secretary Rick Tyler fired off a response blasting the political and media elite.

“The literati sent out their minions to do their bidding,” Tyler wrote. “Washington cannot tolerate threats from outsiders who might disrupt their comfortable world. The firefight started when the cowardly sensed weakness. They fired timidly at first, then the sheep not wanting to be dropped from the establishment’s cocktail party invite list unloaded their entire clip, firing without taking aim their distortions and falsehoods. Now they are left exposed by their bylines and handles. But surely they had killed him off. This is the way it always worked. A lesser person could not have survived the first few minutes of the onslaught. But out of the billowing smoke and dust of tweets and trivia emerged Gingrich, once again ready to lead those who won’t be intimated by the political elite and are ready to take on the challenges America faces.”

1) Kinda makes the whole "I apologized" thing seem hollow.

2) Of, the ****ing pathos!

3) I repeat: bye newt

Politicians believe that if you deny, deny, lie, lie, long enough that many voters will believe or forget. It is a shame but the stupid is with them.

Newt should have taken dude's advice to get out of the race before he embarrasses himself any further:

In a live interview with Rush Limbaugh Thursday afternoon, Gingrich said he hadn’t actually criticized Ryan’s plan in his Sunday appearance on “Meet the Press,” and that he wasn’t referring to the Wisconsin congressman when he said those words.

“It was not a reference to Paul Ryan. There was no reference to Paul Ryan in that answer,” Gingrich told Limbaugh, who was in the process of gently grilling him about why he used those words in the NBC interview.

Limbaugh asked Gingrich why, then, did he call Ryan to apologize for the remark, if it wasn’t made in reference to Ryan.

“It was interpreted in a way which was causing trouble which he doesn’t need or deserve,” Gingrich said. “My answer wasn’t about the budget, and I promptly went back to say publicly that I would have voted for the Ryan budget.”
