On Wednesday, November 28, 2012, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich spoke to a sold-out crowd at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, calling the “so-called fiscal cliff” a “fantasy being used as an excuse to panic.” Speaker Gingrich went on to discuss House Republicans, telling them to not form a “Surrender Caucus” by stating, “They are the majority. They are not the minority.”

Right... Because now that he’s happily and lawfully married, in the eyes of Man and The Church, we can’t have his whiny detractors, who haven’t done 1% of what he has for the country, lose one of their biggest “weapons” against him.

I did my job by helping to get Newt resoundingly reelected to Congress with 71% of the vote and the weird cowardly jerk turned tail and ran from the Congress just when we depended on and needed him. I gave him money, went to rallies, and put out yard signs. I even had a pleasant chat with his sweet wife about his books at one rally.

In every case you can list, Newt caved to pressure from Democrats and teamed with then in "compromise" from a neurotic need to be "loved and appreciated" by the public at large.

He was our Congressman for 20 years, but after his self imposed exile, he left Georgia to live outside of Washington where he could be close to the fleeting dream of the power he once had.

Now ask me if you should have any use for the little round flotsam either? I say flush him!

Oh I agree. I think the people who pillory Gingrich tend to be sanctimonious prigs who have never in their lives articulated remorse and repentance. They would have stoned the woman taken in adultery, Jesus’ pointed question having just puzzled them rather than shaming them.

I didn’t say Romney would run in 2016. I said he would muddy the waters.

He will back an abortive and divisive bid by Bush 2.5 as the next paleo-Progressive to drop the Republican banner on the ground.

_______________________________________________

No you didnt

I did...

Willard wont go away...

hes obsessed...

His whole life hes been dreaming of the presidency...

since Big Daddy George Romney groomed him from boyhood to fulfill his so called “destiny”

When a guy thinks hes entitled to be president, hes not going to go away quietly...

Right now hes angry at the Republicans for the slight by the peons..

You would have noticed that the “hero” didnt go and help the Sandy victims...

But there will be another round of how “nice” and “sacrificial” he is if he is the headliner at the convention in 2016...

and the only one who can “save” America...

He ignored the part where he was auditioning and applying for a job from the employers, the American voters...

He thought he was rising to king-for-life in his father’s stead...

His father was “cheated” in 1964 out of the nomination by Barry Goldwater and his friend Ronald Reagan, George’s biggest enemies...

and it evaded him again in 1968..

That sword has swayed over Willard ever since...

That’s a perfect example of a woman trying so hard to keep her man that she ends up destroying the very thing that attracted him to her in the first place. Sad.
