We’re drawing closer and closer to English all the time.
Abramoff accuses Newt Gingrich of 'corruption.' Really. - POLITICO Even Abramoff calls Newt corrupt. But is there anyone who thinks he is not?
If I may, Damuri Ajashi?
The insinuation is that the anti-Romney Right is jumping so blindly from not-Romney to not-Romney that if Obama put on a hairpiece, signed up as a Republican candidate, and mouthed one or two of the Tea Party’s articles of faith, he’d get the same sort of surge as various other not-Romneys have.
Is that English enough for you?
Kinda like Newt.
You really want to use Abramoff as a source? What if comes back tomorrow and says President Obama is corrupt? Abramoff is just trying to make everybody else look dirty, so he looks better. At this point nobody has accused Gingrich of even making an improper phone call.
I have some reservations about Gingrich’s temperament, but he is probably the smartest person running for president.
Yeah but he didn’t try to impeach someone else who was also being unfaithful to their wife and his base was not the same base that Newt has to try and appeal to.
Yeah, that’s pretty much it. How far we have come. I remember a time when Newt was so extreme that Democrats were hoping and praying that he would be the nominee and now we realize that Newt may be one of the strongest not-Romney candidates on the field.
Sliding on down the rat-hole.
Kind of like being the prettiest girl in the leper colony, isn’t it?
Yes he has learned the word profound and uses it over and over. If he repeats it often enough, people begin to think he is profound instead of crooked. He got run out of congress by his own people. He has no principles at all. But unlike most Repubs on the stage, he speaks in complete sentences.
Abramoff is like Canseco in baseball. He came clean and people distrusted him until it was shown he told the truth. I am well aware of Gingrich and his fostering the Repub right and Lobbyist connections. It is hard to believe anything he says.
Zing!
Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.
And if you try it, don’t knock it at all. In fact, don’t jar, jostle, stub, stumble or stove it, either. It’s not pretty.
Last couple days Newt has played to his narrow base, by claiming there is no such thing as a 99 percent and that they should get a job and take a bath. This is your man of depth in the Repub party.
Oh, it gets better…
Newt feels child labor laws are “truly stupid”:
Mind you, this seems less about kids earning a little pocket money and more about breaking the janitors’ union. Still, it’s a half-step from here to having underprivileged fourth-graders helping out in the coalmines.
Gingrich is so rich and so privileged that he can not relate to the problems of the people. He has had his pockets filled by the wealthy for so long, that he thinks they are the people .
His remarks about the Occupations is proof of how out of touch he is.
Funny, part of the point of the OWS stuff is that the 1% have fucked things up so bad that there are hardly any jobs to be had.
I bet even a lot of GOP primary voters are aware of how tough it is to find work these days.
Nonsense. The reason jobs are scarce is because good Republicans have three, each!
Hmmm. Is he out of touch or just playing to the “get a job” people to get their financial support?
