Man calls Obama Muslim, Gingrich doesn't correct

Since when is it Newts job to defend the mooselimb faith?

*

“I suppose the Media thinks it’s the GOP candidates’ job to “defend” Obama.”

My first thought exactly.

Unfortunately, Ace McCain and Romney set themnselves up to personally protect Hussein’s “honor”.

And Big Media rewards them by calling them “moderate”.

Up yours, “Mav”!

*

The media actually wanted Gingrich to be accurate and say “I have no idea what Obama’s religion actually is...although he professes to be Christian based on his 20 years of attendance at a Chicago ‘church’ that preached hatred of Jews and America and his appearance at few scant services thereafter for photo-ops”?

*

"I believe President Obama is a Christian," Gingrich said. "He says he's a Christian, he went to a Christian church for over 20 years, and I believe him."
Obama DID NOT go to a Christian Church. He went to a Black Liberation Theology church.

BLT says that if God is not for the Black man and against the White, "we should kill him (God)."

What ever that is...it isn't Christian!

*

"Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond added that Gingrich "has said several times in the past that he believes President Obama is a Christian."
"We also believe he is an American. We also believe he is a very nice guy.""

Newt! We have US citizens who hate this country, and it's Constitution, and want it destroyed.
We have US citizens who love this country and it's Constitution and want it to succeed;those are Americans.

Obama may be a US citizen but he is not an American.

*

Look, it's quite simple. if we accept Obama's birth story at face value (the one in Ayers' his book and supported by the birth records put forward), then his father is Barack Obama, a Kenyan Muslim.
By Muslim tradition, the child of a Muslim father is automatically a Muslim (contrast with Judaism, where the child of a Jewish mother is automatically a Jew). Barack Obama II is therefore either a Muslim or an apostate Muslim (and a birthright Muslim who denies the faith is the worst kind of apostate in Muslim teaching).

Or he's lying about who his father is.

It's one or the other.

*

He is a Muslim by birth. Now if he was later converted or if he was baptized into a Christian Church then he could refute the allegation. Now where is Obama’s baptismal record?

*

Shove it up your smelly collective Obamas.

And Obama makes a h*ll of a better Muslim than he does any other faith. (E.G., he knows nothing about economics, he lies through every oriface, and he’s a canccer upon civilization.)

*

Funny how they’re oh-so-sensitive about the really damaging truths:

0bama’s not an American.
He’s a Muslim.
The left in general has a communist, anti-American agenda.
The left in general hates Christianity.

*

Bill Maher calls Sarah Palin a bitch and a whore, and HBO, nor CNN doesn’t correct.

*

My way of saying it to libs in denial -

Let’s say 0bama isn’t a Muslim sympathizer/Marxist/racist/etc -

how would he be acting differently than he is if he were?

The usual “rebuttal” is “that’s absurd”.

*

How is Newt supposed to know whether or not Obama is a Muslim? He doesn’t know any more about Obama than we do

Santorum to Newsmax: I'd Consider Gingrich for VP (Looking for core conservative as running mate)

Please...

As a Newt voter in Florida... this team wins.

Santorum is more likable.

Newt can still follow Obama around and debate him every day.

*

Although, I prefer Gingrich as POTUS, I could accept him as VP. One of the responsibilities of VP is to be the bulldog for the president, so it’s a role that would fit Newt like a glove.

*

I don't care which is POTUS and which is VP. Agree, flip a coin or draw straws. Just make it happen now and prevent the flip-flopping Massachusetts liberal and the establishment RINO GOP from losing another one.

*

I would be happy with Santorum/Gingrich but I would MUCH RATHER HAVE Gingrich/Santorum for 16 year run of conservatism

ROMNEY IS OBAMA-LITE

*

With two Catholics on the ticket, you would lose the Catholic vote.

*

Maybe the candidates (including Zero) should be made identify their cabinet choices during the primaries. We know the Obama administration is made up of a bunch of losers from academia.

*

Imagine waking up, and on ABC there’s President Santorum talking, over on CSPAN there’s VP Gingrigh talking, and over on Comedy Central there’s zero blubbering on Stewart and again on Colbert. Michelle spends the rest of her days on EllenD.

The world is right again.

*

I would prefer Newt as POTUS, with Santorum at VP, but the other way around just might work. Col. West heads my wish list for Newt’s VP, but maybe he could come onboard as their Secretary of Defense?

Either way, a big BUMP for the two of them beginning to get together to consolidate forces against Romney!

CHUCK NORRIS: Why I chose Newt over Santorum

Article from WND.

Santorum will never win against Obama.
Newt, on the other hand, would crush the boy king.

Santorum reminds me of the sniveling little nerd in school who does underhanded, sneaky things because no one likes him.

*

What concerns me most is, this brainless stampede of voters who switch candidates at the drop of a headline.
This is simply chaos and the end result will wind up a disaster. Santorum will not only lose to Obama, Santorum will turn on those who voted for him the moment he gains power. He certainly will use his power to try to install his narrow social agenda, and perpetuate his love for big government, much like Bush did.

*

"Newt has way too much baggage to win."
We ALL have baggage and warts.

What we need this year is a fighter...someone who can TKO barry in one swipe....and that is Newt.

*

The only trouble is...

the only trouble is the Newt supporters that attack Santorum and the Santorum supporters attacking Newt.

Both groups of Freepers have lost sight of the goals: RINOs and Obama.

It is complete bull$hit to say Santorum isn’t conservative. Likewise for anyone to say Gingrich isn’t conservative.

In 2008, the conservative vote wasn’t split, because there wasn’t a conservative in the race!! This year we have TWO conservatives - both mildly flawed (gee, its too bad Reagan is dead and Rush doesn’t want the pay cut).

Go ahead and post a stupid list of Santorum’s voting record...I’ll then post a picture of Newt and Nancy giving credibility to Global Warming.

*

Good Post. Chuck Norris is a great American. The reason I like Newt is.....The liberals are scared of him and they hate him, the Democrats are scared of him and they hate him, The established Republicans are scared of him and they hate him, the Wall Street gang is scared of him and they hate him. We don’t like any of these groups, therefore, the enemy of my enemies is my friend. Thus, Newt Gingrich is our friend. Vote for Newt, He WILL shake things up.

*

“Newt has way too much baggage to win.”

“Santorum is bland and forgettable.”

Stop killing our own, folks. Obama is laughing at you guys and gals.

*

"Newt has way too much baggage to win."
I've heard this for more than a decade. What is it specifically?

I'm aware of his divorces, his supposed "ethics violations", and his embrace of the climate change issue. What else?

*

I am in Phoenix and the numbers are even between Romney and Newt - Did some phone calling yesterday for NEWT - can’t wait until the debate! Newt reminds me of Thomas Jefferson - he left Washington DC in 1794 and was pronounced the end of his political career...yet he was elected 3rd President in January 1801!
This primary season is like a Marathon.

*

Santorum inspires very few, and we will lose if he is the nominee.

I have no say as to who the nominee is, and I'm fairly objective because of it. Santorum is Dole.

Newt Gingrich reveals sexy Valentine’s Day plans for wife Callista while stumping in California

For the record, I do have two requests pending (one on Whitney Houston, the other on the rape apologist lady on Fox this week), but one is pretty extensive and the other hasn't been addressed yet. Sorry for the short furlough.

"Callista is only 45 - still time to get pregnant for an October surprise.

Maybe we should start a rumor. Unfortunately, the left MSM would spin it into some sort of scandal - as they did with Sarah’s baby."

Oh, it would be a HUGE scandal ...

Unlike the death-eating left, the Gingrichs wouldn't kill their baby.

To the death-eating left, the only good baby is a dead baby.

*

"...you know reconnect a little bit," he said with a smile."
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit...

*

His earlier marriages were very long...longer than most marriages of people I know.
Quite different from a west wing rendevous with two distinct 20 year old interns BY TWO DIFFERENT DEM Presidents.

*

Newt’s critics are unable to find fault with his policies, plans, philosophy or record in public office - so they resort to tripe like this.

I am disappointed that FReepers are so gullible or eager to embrace this type of personal destruction by lies and innuendo.

*

"All I can promise is that I believe she will be quite happy,"

Will Tiffany's be also?

*

if he’s not getting your vote then why are you here?
Go away!

*

I expect Newt has a better chance of winning the White House than he does of messing up Calista's hair. Does it ever move?

*

I’m not sure how “happy”, dinner for two, and gifts is “sexy and intimate.”

*

Headline=GROSS
Why do we have to hear about this? Fighting the mental imagery...ewww

ABC interviewed Gingrich ex-wife (She could "end his career")

Another article title is "Former Gingrich Wife Says He Asked for ‘Open Marriage’"

Hahahahahaha...and thought she would wait until now to “talk about it.”

Check’s in the mail Maryanne.

Love,

Barry

*

OH LOOK!!!!! An Ex-wife with an ax to grind.....something we can ALL believe!
The critics are gonna regret this move......put an angry ex wife on tv and just WATCH all the men RUN to Gingrich's side...

*

Did Ms. Bitter get this on tape or in writing?
I don't see Newt wanting to stay married to her bitter butt and keep Callista in hiding.

So far...the BS meter is going way off on this.

*

The diff is that Gingrich asked.

Clinton just did it anyway.

Oh, forgot, dim-bulb-crats don’t have moral restrictions.

*

It has been no secret that all of Newt's marriages began and ended with an affair. So Newt likes the ladies.......I can appreciate this attribute. I've got two words for the professional left and liberal finger pointers: Bill Clinton.

*

This plays to 0bama’s supporters. Next time you’re driving notice how many times you see an 0bama sticker on a car being driven an ugly, bitter-looking woman.

*

This is wife #2, right?
What was she thinking when she was the mistress against wife #1, that she's so outraged now?

*

Private issue between a married couple.

*

And he was the married man whose family she helped wreck.

*

The real question is did Obama front the cash or Romney?

For an ex-mistress to get on a moral high horse is just absurd.

*

Well at the very least we know that Newt’s wife WASN’T a “beard” like our current POTUS.

*

Mud is Mud, and Newts getting covered in it.
For some reason, Ronald Reagan's Ex didn't do this.

Its called respect. The Ex didn't get it, and she ain't giving it.

*

When a man leaves his wife for a mistress she should expect the same thing to her - it’s called poetic justice.

*

Reminds me of Grover Cleveland who had a illegitimate child in the Victorian morality era. the Republicans conned the phrase...”Ma, Ma, Where's my Pa?”

After Cleveland got elected President his party members shot back...”Gone to the White House, Ha ha ha!”

Oh by the way, Cleveland was a Democrat.

*

Bill Clinton practiced an open marriage! That was OKEEEDOKEEE with the media and Mrs.Clinton.
So what we have here is outrage because his wife was a prudish non-lesbian woman with a low libido? Well, that's a 99% group.

*

Well...my inclination is to not care. It might not be true, it was a long time ago, he said he asked God for forgiveness, I’m not voting for a husband...but for someone to turn this ship around.

What a bitter witch he was married to.

*

If this was a Democrat, this would never see the light of day. Larry Sinclair? Hello.

This will FAIL completely. Newt will respond forcefully and just move on. "End his career" hyperbole by a dnc sycophant media that hopes it would be so. America will completely reject it.

---Larry Sinclair reference. It's amazon, but still derpy.

*

What does Obama’s ex have to say? The press doesn’t want to know if he has an ex. If he does, the press is not interested in what she has to say... would probably bump her (or him) off with joy of heart to protect the One.

*

To: massgopguy
“But, but, everybody said she died from cancer.”

Wrong wife,that is wife No. 1 that Newt cheated on that had the cancer. This interview is with wife No. 2, whom he cheated on with Callista his current wife. Wife No. 2 was diagnosed with MS (multiple sclerosis) when Newt dumped her.

*

I don’t in any way, shape or form, endorse infidelity. Its one of my major beefs with Newt.

HOWEVER...if all this is true, there’s a teeny, tiny part of me that can’t blame him for dumping her if she acted this way during their marriage.

Just a teeny bit.

*

Classic case of a woman scorned. She is probably thinking she could have been the First Lady had Newt not divorced her and she’ll be damned if she lets some other woman have that honor in her place.

*

Newt has no problem drawing votes from men who vote with their minds.
He has a big problem drawing votes from women who vote with their feelings.

There is no way this will help him. It could very well be his Jack Ryan moment

*

I'm tired of this BS that Romney cant beat Obama.
By election day, Obama will own almost half the national debt, 6 trillion dollars, and 8 percent unemployment.

The only thing he will have to show for all that debt is pictures of his Hawaiian vacations.

He will have established two new Islamic nations that vow to destroy us. Egypt and Libya.

Jimmy Carter could beat Obama in 2012.

Walter Mondale could beat Obama in 2012.

Jessy Jackson could beat Obama in 2012.

*

“He has a big problem drawing votes from women who vote with their feelings.”

You have to remember the judgement of women can run both ways. This is not a young, attractive victim. This is an old, ugly bitter adulteress. She has held bitter interview after bitter interview and this is just another. It’s going to be *very* hard to pass Marianne Gingrich off as a victim to women, especially since she was the “other woman” in the highly fictionalized hospital-bed divorce.

*

Not saying I disagree but the same thing was said about Cain for weeks.We are dealing with an evil man named Obama with a radical mob machine; that eliminated his competition to gain his senate seat after he emerged from hell to ruin America.They will allow Romney to win the nomination and then Caininize him.We better pray that enough seats are taken to impeach Obama.

Jim Robinson: Taking stock of our dwindling conservative inventory

This is a vanity post by the founder of FreeRepublic, Jim Robinson, asking the community which candidate they should endorse.

His message ends with: But if we don't land on one soon and raise him up over Romney, guess who we're going to be stuck with? And it ain't going to be pretty. And if abortionist/statist/progressive Romney (or moonbat Paul) is the one, might as well get used to four more years of Obama. I won't vote for or support either one of those two.

I'd suggest that we all stop trying to tear down the other conservative candidates in the race and instead concentrate on trying to build up our own personal favorites. Who knows? May even discover an acceptable conservative (if not a great conservative) in the bunch. We've never had a perfect conservative yet. Not even the magnificent Ronald Reagan. We and they all have warts.

But we do want to have a candidate with at least an actual CONSERVATIVE record and not an out and out liberal progressive RINO. So let's compare their records and their actual conservative accomplishments but not try to destroy them personally.

God bless and may the best CONSERVATIVE be our nominee.

The comments:

I’m sticking with Gingrich to the end. He’s the only one with the political experience, the longevity, and knowledge of the system to route out, and squash all the Leftist bug larvae infesting the corpse that is what’s left of our government today.

Renew America while we still have some of it.

*

I like Santorum but it’s gonna take a Newt Gingrich to roll everything back pre FDR.
If we can just get Newt in then the only way that he could be prevented from restoring a constitutional republic is impeachment...he has already indicated he will not be constrained by the courts.

At this late date we require a pissed-off bull in the china shop to fix this mess. I can see no other avenue of escape. Can you?

*

A lot of this is being orchestrated by the GOP establishment. They put out soundbites and tidbits trying to show how XYZ conservative has departed from the true faith in some case, and then they use this to dismantle the candidate in the eyes of conservatives. All the while, they don’t want you to notice that they are doing it to push through what would be the most liberal GOP Presidential nominee since Nixon.

*

I’m convinced that Newt Gingrich is the junkyard dog we need to rip Obama a new one and send him running back to his Chicago cesspool with his tail between his legs. Newt has DC experience, executive ability, and his silver tongue is razor sharp. He delivers his messages straight up and he can also be very witty. His work with American Solutions was very impressive in that he was able to spell out principles around which the vast majority of Americans agree. He also has plenty of practical ideas for making government work better for the taxpayers. Is Newt pure as the driven snow? No. Whatever Newt’s “baggage”, it’s miniscule compared to Obama’s load and Newt is 100% American. Newt is like Larry the Cable Guy: Send him to DC and he’ll “Git ‘er done”. Junkyard dogs are not show dogs, but they’ll save your bacon.

*

"What we REALLY need to be worrying about is how to split up Paul’s base."

I don't think his base is real.

In polls, his base is a bunch of spam monkeys.

In Iowa and soon to be other primaries/caucuses, his base is cross-over liberal voters.

My theory: His numbers are fake.

*

I’m sure Santorum is a perfectly nice guy.

This just isnt a nice guy election.

Newt is the most fearless guy to run for the white house since Reagan. He knows how to fight and does not need time to train and get up to speed.

*

Good post. While it looks like "Mitt" at this stage the actual elections are yet to come. "Mitt" will probably take New Hampshire but Newt is certainly a big force in South Carolina and Florida.
I take the view that Iowa was a defeat for "Mitt" as the anybody but Romney vote was the majority.

Hopefully we can keep the "Eleventh Commandment" for the remaining primaries.

--- LOL I love this logic.

*

There are lots of flaws among these conservative candidates but a Romney vs. Obama race means America goes socialist forever. Whatever their flaws Santorum, Gingrich or Newt would reverse this.

*

I’m not certain just what can be done. Free and fair elections are clearly a thing of the past. The media is central to the problem. Fox is about as bad as the others now.

What is clear is that anyone even remotely viewed as conservative will be savaged as soon as they show signes of strength. The Republican elite has joined forces with the progressives. The country can not stand a second Obama term as he is now intent on ruling by himself. Romney is no alternative. Occupy will trash any direct appeal and the control of the Internet seems at hand.

*

People complain that Newt is a bomb thrower. IMHO, given washington and the mess we’re in as a country, I wish him luck and will happily assist in crafting bombs to throw.

It would be nice if the Republican Party had even a smidge of sense. The so-called elite are not only out-of-touch...
they are downright sinister in their ignorant mediocrity.

*

Some people have poor up-bringing. I read a post calling Gingrich a “scumbag” and I asked - how conservative is that kind of language?

And the reply I got was totally clueless to what my point was.

Thanks Hollywood!

*

"Why not Gingrich & Condeleeza Rice in 2012?

OR Santorum & Rice in 2012?

Putting Rice in the veep slot takes a LOT of wind out of Demoncrat sails. It may split the black vote on the other side and think of the disaffected women in the ranks of the RATS who'd jump at the chance to make history once again."

I read where Condi supports murdering innocent babies in the womb, if that is true then she’s a non-starter.

*

I’d turn that around and put Santorum at the top of the ticket, with Newt playing a Cheney-type role. Can you imagine Newt suddenly presiding over the Senate? I can. I think he would relish it.

*

"Newt is the most fearless guy to run for the white house since Reagan."

Couldn't agree more. We need a fearless, patriotic fighter to represent us now. Look at what we're up against. This country has never seen anything like Obama before.

It's going to take someone who puts on his war paint every morning to galvanize the base and defeat him.

*

Well said, but I fear we are victims of a biased media who is largely responsible for fomenting personal attacks on the candidates rather than focus on issues — their candidate’s weakness.

Think about it, we know more about Santorum, Cain, Perry, and others in this race than we know about Obama. Perry’s college grades were released. Where’s Obama’s? Cain may have had a few flings. Did Obama? We hear about Newt’s writings and positions in the past, where are Obama’s writings from the Harvard Review?

I am optimistic that the American people have had enough of Obama, and will vote him out regardless who we nominate. That said:

Gingrich - Santorum 2012

*

I have been guilty. I have been very guilty on the Perry thread. Well I am not doing it anymore. Your article is correct. I can go with Santorum, Newt, Perry. I am leaning towards a Newt/Santorum ticket because Santorum is young enough to be President in 8 years and after the two of them transforming our country, we will be in good shape for another 4-8 years of a Republican President. So if we go with this ticket it is possible that we have the Presidency until at least January 2029.

*

Well said Jim! I hear you and it’s pretty frightening, to say the least. Romney is essentially “Odrama lite” which is why the MSM is pushing him....

God in heaven needs to hear our prayers and help people get it together enough to support someone decent. Or maybe He needs to open some people’s eyes.

*

Gingrich didn't serve, but his ENTIRE family going back 100 years did, unlike that degenerate scumbag from Kolob Romney.
That glad handing non chicken skin eating douchebag will NEVER be POTUS, and third party candidates to stop him could include Palin , Gingrich, and Trump.

Better to let the communists own the collapse than put some blue blood corporate raider crypto-crony capitalist bourgeois con man in the White House.

Obama reelected only speeds up the inevitable collapse and reset.

The US Federal Government post Civil War has turned into a criminal enterprise run by lawyers and bureaucrats for their own perpetual enrichment at the expense of the productive class.

It has also ceased to be a representative Republic and has turned into a sure to fail Democracy.

The Founders didn't put a right to vote into the Constitution for a very simple reason; they didn't want imbeciles, those under 21, and lazy parasites to be enfranchised, in fact warned against it, leaving the States to determine who could cast ballots.

This government must be reset with all Amendments other then the original Bill of Rights repealed.

The franchise must be limited and determined by the states.

Incorporate term limits, rotate the Capital amongst the States, and ensure dueling is legal so big mouth politicians will think twice before telling outrageous lies and slanders.

*

Jacob was a cheater, Peter had a temper, David had an affair, Noah got drunk, Jonah ran from God, Paul was a murderer, Gideon was insecure, Miriam was a gossiper, Martha was a worrier, Thomas was a doubter, Elijah was moody, Moses stuttered, Zaccheus was short, Abraham was old, Lazarus was dead.... God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the CALLED!
jus sayin.

*

"I agree with all you say, except Romney is still quite a bit better than Obama."

NO HE IS NOT.

*

"Really? You can’t think of 3 ways Romney is better than Obama?

#1

I’m not aware that Romney has surrounded himself with avowed communists. Maybe he has and I’m open to correction on that issue. Obama is surrounded by hard communists who want to turn America into Italy on its way to Vietnam."

-- 1: Look up the history of his close friends Ted Kennedy in south/centeral America and John Vietman Kerry and reask the question.

"#2

Obama is a Muslim who bowed to the Saudi King and has assisted the consolidation of power of fundamentalist Islam in Egypt, Lybia and Tunisia, and he is trying in Syria and Yemen. Really, Do you really think Mormon Romney would promote the spread of radical fundamentalist Islam abroad?"

-- 2. Did we think before Obama was elected he’s do the kind od damage in ME relations he has?

"#3

Obama has limitless funds for destruction from George Soros. Romney has no such benefactor."

-- 3: Liberals with control of Treasury Dept are proven to proint whatever cash required

"#4 Obama has an army of support from ACORN and SEIU to engage in widespread voter fraud. Romney has no such army of support."

-- 4: Sure he does. He’s a liberal too.

"#5

Obama has a complicit media to cover up his scandals and
damaging policies. A president Romney would be held in check by a left-wing socialist media."

-- 5: he is a liberal left wing socialist too. RE ROMNEYCARE. GUN CONTROL etc.

"#6 Romney, to my knowledge, never ran guns to the Mexican cartels in a manipulation ploy to pass gun control laws."

-- 6: Nor has Romney - but he’s not President. Yet. See “Left wing socialist who hates guns and may well use it like Obama did to drum up anti-gun hysteria.)

"#7 Romney hasn’t tried to destroy the US coal industry."

-- 7: Yes he has. Hes a global warmist.

"#8 Romney did not nationalize banks and car companies in Massachusetts."

-- 8: He nationalized (relatively speaking) ROMNEYCARE

"More than any single reason why WE MUST DEFEAT OBAMA is to repeal Obamacare. Obamacare kicks in right after the election and 4 years later will see it entrenched with no hope of ever repealing it. Romney would not lead the fight to overturn Obamacare, but he could be dragged kicking and screaming to “compromise” and repeal it by a determined House and Senate that sends him a repeal and dares him to veto it."

ROMNEYCARE. What part of “NO ROMNEY NO WAY” is a problem. In Jim somehow someone people here feel free to ignore?

*

I don’t blame you but I’ve decided to go down with the ship. I want to escape from California, but I’ll make my last stand in Virginia, and if it means going down in the USA, then I go down in the USA. I can’t leave my nation. There is simply no place better to go. As bad as we are becoming, there is no place better to go.

Here is a simple test.

Think of any country you might want to flee to. Imagine that country.

Now imagine going target shooting in that country with an M1 Garand rifle, or an AR15.

Now imagine using the country’s head of state for that target practice. In public.

Now you tell me what nations on earth where you can do that any day of the week and live to tell the tale, not thrown in some hellhole dungeon for crimes against the state.

Simple test.

I’m going down with the ship. My last stand will be in Virginia. Damn the torpedos... uh, commie bastards!

-- Wait... is this guy saying that the best way to test if you're in the best country in the world is whether or not you can assassinate the head of state without getting thrown into a dungeon? or am I misreading that? Anyone?

*

Gingrich has too much baggage, IMO. After he gets done savaging Romney with ads, he ought to drop out and leave the field to Santorum.

One on one Santorum can beat Romney. We have to clear the field for him. He's the last one standing.

*

“I know its a dead horse, but Palin not running was a sad loss for us and the nation.”

Amen to that. If things get bad enough, and the nomination process fails us, maybe she still will.

By the end of the thread, Jim Robinson was banning anyone who questioned the anti-Romney stance.

On a side note, yesterday, the number of unique visitors to this blog quadrupled, with no discernible reason. They appear to be visitors who came here directly, rather than via a link or a search engine. Does anyone have any explanation for that? My numbers went back to normal today.

Newt Gingrich's 'mind boggling' tax plan [A $1.3 trillion tax cut and this is a bad thing?]

Hey guys, I apologize for last week, I had a temporary situation that caused me to have very limited internet access. Hoping to make up for it this week by going double time!

Article from CNN Money

And it would produce a highly competitive booming capitalist free-economy a la the Reagan economy.

*

"According a new analysis, Gingrich's tax plan would reduce government revenue by a staggering $1.3 trillion -- or 35% -- in 2015"

Revenues have already dropped considerably under Obama. This stat is meaningless.

"Gingrich wants to add to the current tax code by putting an optional 15% flat tax on income in place, with a $12,000 per-person deduction. And Gingrich would like to eliminate the estate and capital gains taxes."

I can definitely get on board with that. But it should be for everyone. And such a plan will result in and INCREASE in revenues - not a decrease as the article implies.

*

You see, Newt was there for the Reagan years and there is no better man to reflect that same intelligent agenda. Not even most Democrats can argue with that approach.

(Which is why Reagan won 2 terms.)

*

It’s starting to sink in that Gingrich is for real and he won’t give the baton to anybody else....the media has little time to attempt to zap Gingrich like they did Palin and Cain.

We will see some desperate dirty stuff in the media in the few short weeks leading up to Iowa.

They are sh***ing themselves with the possibility that a NewT Gingrich could be President.

lol, relishing this...lol

*

Newt, along with Kasich were the primary reasons that Clinton, dragged in screaming, balanced the budget.

So, he has experience with budgets.

But, Newt is probably not dumb enough to do as you say and put out a ton of spending cuts, before the elections upcoming.

He is too smart to specify cuts right now. You win the election first with tax cuts and then you outline the austerity measures when you are in the WH.

*

Is Newt running for school board? Why is he opining on state and local issues. I think kids should clean too, but not get paid for it.

He needs to tell us which parts of ObamaCare he wants to keep. We know he likes the individual mandate.

He also should explain which parts of conservatism he is willing to throw under the bus for compromise. He is the GOP leader who compromised MOST with the Democrats while he was Speaker. I suspect he’ll compromise on just about everything. We know he’s for amnesty.

I just can’t wait until his new book on fighting global warming comes out, AFTER the election. lol.

I think a lot of conservatives are getting scammed right now by this flim flam artist.

*

“Reagan raised our taxes after cutting them.”

That is a lie in both context and omission, either that or it is born of ignorance.

If you don’t understand that Reagan proposed to cut income taxes by 30%, and got 25% even with a Dem Congress, than you don’t know your political or conservative history.

The only people I see that spout this nonsense, are the same liberals that called Reagan heartless for cutting taxes on all income tax levels.

They point to 9 that were forced on him by Congress to get his tax cuts passed...and most were simple loopholes in business taxes.

Do you think Business wants a Reagan or an Obama or Romney. Romney’s tax cuts are miniscule compared to both Reagan’s and Gingrich’s.

Newt Gingrich may face backlash in Iowa over immigration comments

Summary: Gingrich supports an amnesty and conservatives are clutching the pearls and halting their support of him.

AMEN! Stick a fork in him, he’s done. Whether we like it not, Cain, flawed as he is, he is the ONLY conservative alternative to Mittens. I like Santorum and would also support Bachmann but they are not going anywhere in 2012.

*

Gingrich IS a liberal. Some call him a moderate. The more conservatives learn about where he stands, the less they will like him. He has a lot of baggage and he is politically radioactive with his amnesty comments. He will never beat Obama.

*

"Whether we like it not, Cain, flawed as he is, he is the ONLY conservative alternative to Mittens. "

I like it just fine. What I don't like are the pro-ILLEGAL alien candidates...and we know who they are.

*

I'm starting to get a little pissed.
Jump in Sarah. You're the only sane person on the planet who can do it.

Imagine someone who robbed a bank, perhaps several banks, perhaps several times; then that someone helped several family members rob some banks; and they got away with robbing banks for several years, then decades ...
Since this lucky fellow, and all his lucky family, and all their lucky friends, and their families, got away with robbing banks for so long, ...

Now all these lucky bank robbers get free bank accounts, loaded with free money; they get to be honored members of the boards of the banks they robbed, with full voting rights on the disposition of the remaining wealth of the bank customers they previously robbed into oblivion.

Whatta country!!!

Fly them home and bill the home country for the full cost of repatriating them.

The pro-ILLEGAL alien crowd likes to talk about the kids of ILLEGAL aliens (who are ILLEGAL aliens also) that were brought here by their parents. Why disrupt their lives when the parents are to blame? Consider this...
If an ILLEGAL alien stole your car and gave it to his son who was also ILLEGAL, should the ILLEGAL son be able to keep your car? After all, he didn't steal it, his father did.

There are millions of out of work American citizens who are out of work because their jobs have been taken by ILLEGAL aliens. I have compassion for those Americnas, not the ILLEGALs who have their jobs.

For the last ten years, new immigrant citizens have voted 80% for the Democratic Party.
That is the essential issue.

Would the Hard Left support Amnesty and Open Borders if new citizens voted 80% for Conservatives?

Of course not.

Current immigration policy is political suicide for the GOP.

"What Reagan did" was DEAD WRONG, as was his turning tail and running from Lebanon after our Marines were slaughtered. Reagan is not a god. He screwed up big time, and created a demographic disaster. Had Reagan thought it through logically, he would have anticipated that MILLIONS more than predicted would bum rush the border to get amnesty. He would have realized how many of them would have babies, push schools and hospitals to the breaking point, create Spanish-only towns throughout CA and TX, leave hundreds of thousands on welfare, WIC, food stamps, Medicare, etc. None of that mattered. We were "a nation of immigrants". Illegals "shared our values". Etc. And anyone who disagreed was simply racist. So we got amnesty, and a demographic disaster ensued. Gingrich was all for it. And made it even worse as Speaker in the 1990s. And now he wants even MORE amnesty, as did McCain. No thanks. I will never support another such candidate.

*

I should have trusted my instinct, the global warming, ethanol, sitting on the sofa with Pelosi,, teaming up with Hilary, supporting Scozzafava is the real Newt.

He’s an extremely good debater, and very well read about the history of our nation. Making it more unforgivable for him to support 20 million illegals over us.

*

We need to remember why Gingrich was knocked out of the Speaker’s chair in the late 1990s to begin with. Conservative House members got fed up with him constantly caving to Clinton and allowing Clinton to hike federal spending as a percentage of GNP to what was then a post World War II high. Gingrich wasn’t knocked off for being too conservative, but for being too conciliatory.

"Republicans are headed to losing an unlosable election"

Spot on. We’ve managed to shoot our own wounded. The only ones left who have not been destroyed by the media and all of us narrow-minded Conservatives (and I’m just as bad as everyone else) is Romney, Huntsman and Santorum; two RINOs and one Conservative (with the charisma of a footstool) who got booted out of the Senate by the people of PA by about 19 percentage points. I see four more years of Obama coming. I hope he friggin’ destroys the Economy to the point that we deserve what we get. That’s the only thing that’s going to “send a message”; not, forming a Third Party or sitting out the Election. I guess we’re going to have to be brought to our knees in order to get our s**t together. LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL MAMA!

*

Illegal Immigration, Amnesty, Instate Tuition, letting Illegal aliens who commit crimes to get away scot-free are Not family values, or a American value.
The agenda behind all of this is to reduce the federal government into bankruptcy, and undermine our national sovereignty.... and anyone who favors this is NOT a conservative, they are working for the enemy.

“You would vote for the abortion flip-flopper?”

If the choices were Obama and Romney, I would certainly vote for Romney. Are you saying you would refuse to vote and thereby subject America to four more years of Obama just so you could preen in front of the mirror bragging to yourself abour how you never voted for the “abortion flip-flopper?”

"I will never vote for an abortion candidate. Ever. I have to answer for my actions someday, and that won’t be one of them."

I have a cousin who was murdered by an illegal alien, but hey, so long as we have an immigration policy that suits your particular religious bent, that’s just fine isn’t it?

*

I have advocated - and I’m completely serious - allowing border guards to shoot-to-kill anyone crossing the border. It’s a violation of our sovereignty.

I also favor a fence. I’d even go for Cain’s electified fence. I support strict sanctions on employers also.

But the country is NOT going to deport otherwise law-abiding people who’ve been here for a long time and have families. Even if WE think it’s the right thing to do - guess what, we’re in the minority.

Newt’s plan of a case-by-case evaulation with NO citizenship at the end of the rainbow makes as much sense as anything I’ve head that’s likely to ever happen.

What many here don’t seem to realize that the important goal is to make sure illegals never get citizenship. So long as that’s part of the package, who really cares about anything else?

And believe me, it will be a VERY hard fight with those who think they should get full citizenship. Remember McStain was for just that....pay a fine, become a citizen. Newt’s plan does NOT - I repeat, does NOT - grant citizenship. He’s playing chess while the wild-eyed purists are playing an emotional game of checkers. He knows demographics are hurling us toward true amnesty if we can’t somehow stop it. Work permits with the understanding there will be no citizenship is the way to do it.

I know, I know, deport them all.

Yawn.

Gingrich Hit With Glitter At Minneapolis Event

I don't quite have a format in mind yet, but this was too good to pass up as my first post here.

The sad thing is that Newt wants someone else to pay for this guy’s health insurance.

*

I am not a Newt supporter, but why the heck does anyone want to run for political office?

The creep who did this should be sent to prison for 4 or 5 years. This could have easily been acid or some other toxic substance.

*

Nothing is now illegal if Done-While-Democrat. Don’t you know that by now?

Instead of jail, this klown will get a book deal, and MSNBC contract, and an appearance on Oprah, where he will detail his great deed.

*

How did he get in there with that? Nice security. I don’t care for Newt, but besides this being very silly there’s a safety factor there. No one checked what he was carrying in?

*

silly... until you realize something might have been mixed in with the glitter

think anthrax

Sounds like a hate crime. LEOs should arrest the perp, tazer him three or four times, shoot his dog if he has one, and the DA should charge him with half a dozen felonies.
