If this isn’t a sign from above of Newt’s downfall, nothing is.
Newt Gets a Flat Tire in West Hollywood, Does Not Have a Gay Old Time.
At first blush, this would seem like good news for Mr. Gingrich:
However, reports from associates close to Mr. Adelson reveal a hidden agenda:
It’s fair to say that, at least in part, Adelson is funding Gingrich in order to keep him in the race long enough that he would split the conservative vote with Santorum, which benefits Romney. Gingrich then is nothing more than a patsy, and I’ll refrain from commenting how easily our elections can be manipulated by the ultra-wealthy.
Feb 19th, 2012: Mr. Gingrich has enlisted former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain for his campaign. One of the former speaker’s new tactics is to modify Cain’s “9-9-9” mantra to “113-4.2-4”:
The whole article–in which Cain speculates on why Santorum and Romney won’t debate Gingrich, and on what cabinet position he should hold in a Gingrich administration–will make any reader chuckle.
And don’t forget “3/5ths”–it was once a fact that Herman Cain and his entire family each counted for 3/5ths of a regular American.
I’m sneaking into Newt’s house and having a go at his safe: 11 left … 42 right … 24 left.
Having nowhere to go in re Teh Crazy Social Agenda, Newt has decided to double-down on The Keeping Our Nation Secure front:
“Defeating Obama is a Duty of National Security!”
No mention, BTW, of Obama’s successful counterterrorism protocols, well-played support of the Libyan rebellion or taking out Bin Laden.
Duhh! What about his begging to suck Karzai’s dick after two Americans had been killed over this 4th century piece of literary garbage. Libya! are you kidding? He handed Libya to the Muslim Brotherhood. Think al Zawahiri the operational head of alQaeda is Muslim Brotherhood.
Obama has done more to destroy this country in 3 yrs than all the 200 + yrs before him.
Ubiquity, try to stay on topic and keep your language a little more appropriate for this forum.
On Tuesday Feb 28th, the Gingrich campaign created a new coalition known as ‘Women With Newt,’ chaired by the candidate’s third wife Callista Gingrich. His daughters have released a lovely, Stepford-esque video supporting their father and begging for donations (comments are disabled–I wonder why?).
To be fair, a coalition of his assembled wives and daughters would be a significant voting block.
March 3rd…Tennessee State Senator Stacey Campfield–co-chair of Gingrich’s Tennessee campaign–has switched over to Rick Santorum:
Campfield also claims that several candidates for Gingrich-committed delegates on the ballot in his congressional district have also switched to Santorum.
Hey, a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, right?: http://articles.businessinsider.com/2012-02-27/politics/31103149_1_newt-gingrich-ronald-reagan-job
Western civilization is still here, 30-plus years later, so… thanks, Newt!
Gingrich has only won South Carolina and Georgia and has a chance to win Alabama. He seems to be on his way to becoming the new George Wallace, especially with all of his thinly veiled comments.
If Newt really hates Romney and wants him to lose he’ll step aside and let Santorum rain on Mitt’s parade.
Is it treatable?
Can you substantiate that? I know that Gingrich has been married 3 times, but the subject of Gingrich’s personal life has seldom been broached in debates (or at least in the ones I’ve watched). Just how many people are disenfranchised by Gingrich’s checkered career?
March 6th: Former Alaska govenor Sarah Palin told Fox News host Neil Cavuto that she voted for Newt Gingrich in the Alaska primary that evening, then offered this syntactically-challenged endorsement (?) of the former House speaker:
[QUOTE=Sarah Palin]
"Who can best bust through that radical left’s kind of dispensation and desire to mistreat those who are defenseless, mistreat those who perhaps have some disadvantages by making them more beholden to government? Who best can contrast themselves from that? I thought who best could do that [and] my own personal opinion is, the cheerful one, is Newt Gingrich. I have appreciated what he has stood for, stood boldly for.”
[/quote]
If you’re wondering about “cheerful”, recall that this was the answer Gingrich gave during the February 23rd debate in Arizona when John King asked the candidates to describe themselves in one word.
He said “career”, not “life”. Gingrich resigned from his House seat as a result of investigations into professional ethics violations.
Not just investigation – findings and penalties too.
March 11: Fox News reports that there is talk inside the Gingrich campaign of forming a “dream ticket” with Texas Govenor Rick Perry:
In response, Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond calls the speculation “premature”:
Although Govenor Perry endorsed Mr. Gingrich when he dropped out of the race in January, Perry has made only one public appearance with Gingrich since that time (at the Mesa debates).
Wouldn’t that more properly be called a nightmare ticket? And I mean for both the Republican establishment and the American public.
