Posted on 06/16/2011 5:27:00 AM PDT by JesseWatters

"I thought NBC this morning, in a program that had nobody on camera, nobody quoted by name, that quoted reporters talking anonymously about cowardly people, who, frankly, lied about my wife..."

You can all scream...I happen to like Newt. I think he’s a true patriot and smarter then half the folks in Congress.

Is that why he sat on a loveseat with Pelosi? To show he was smarter than her?

Considering almost half are liberal Democrats, I could probably agree with that.

Can you imagine if anonymous sources were quoted against Michelle Obama in a similar hit piece?

Normally, a politician gains credit when he leaps to the defense of his wife and loses stature when he fails to do so. We will see if the rules apply to Gingrich. I doubt it.

I suspect the mainstream media is will now systematically attempt to destroy every potential Republican nominee because they know as we do that with Obama's polling numbers deteriorating along with the economy the only way they can get him reelected is to elevate the negatives on his opponent.

Expect more of the same from every mainstream media outlet against every Republican in the race and likely to get into the race.

We conservatives ought to consider whether or not we should defend Gingrich because they will come for our guy (or gal) next. Gingrich at least is trying to make them pay a price, will conservatives draw the line here or throw Gingrich under the bus? At some point in this process we conservatives will have to stop retreating and circle the wagons.

“I think he’s a true patriot and smarter then half the folks in Congress.”

I think Newt is smart, but there are ducks who are smarter than half the folks in Congress.

No, I think there was another reason.

I would definitely defend him on this. The media was unethical. Period!

(I heard him on Greta last night. His ideas about how to turn this nation around were GOOD....especially what to do with the FDA and the EPA. Though I don’t want him as president, his intelligent solutions to many problems ought to be utilized somehow.)

I wondered from the offset if Newt was in it with his heart.

More and more, I believe Newt is in it for Callista.

Don’t worry, Newt. You’ll raise a little money, travel around the country speaking while eating meals in fine restaurants and staying in fine hotels until the first round of primary votes. After that you and your wife will be able to enjoy as much obscurity as you choose.

I think he is a lying low life cowardly bastard.
Anybody who would serve his wife divorce papers while she is in the hospital is a low life.
Being an ex Georgia native and in the district (Clayton County) that NEWTIE represented I had high hopes for him. It took a lot for him to show me his true colors.
I would not vote for him for dog catcher.

I whole heartedly agree, and I don't particularly care for Newt.

The MSM will try to take out any threat to liberalism past or present, no matter how small.

Conservatives need to understand that and stop cheering when other candidates other than our preferred ones get trashed unfairly.

I like him too, but he's too smart for his own good.
WTH was he thinking ...?

Go home and enjoy your wife, we don’t want you! You had your chance in the spotlight and blew it. And have since turned more toward the left every day.
