Newt said he can make the whole country just like Texas.









:eek:







no thanks.

LMAO. Is it true you're the Queen of the morons?

Dear god, you surely can't be this stupid, to read what I wrote and take the above crazy loon interpretation away from it. No, wait - you are indeed.

Hey, Rick Perry is keeping his state barely afloat financially with plenty of federal government funds. While talking out of the other side of his mouth about how independent Texas is.

Yeah, let's have some more of that, and some more government shutdown and failure, Newt :tro:

It's sad to watch the current incarnation of the Republican Party go so far to the right, they are literally falling off the edge of civilization. Strange cult they have become.

STFU

STFU

Soon I hope.

Or you just don't know how the saying goes.

1/9 on the latter.

Apparently this was horrible analysis on my part.
The Republican Party is in an uproar over his dismissal of the Paul Ryan plan on the show. Ryan, Rush, and Beck have all denounced Newt, and most Republicans appear to be treating him as a traitor to the cause.
I said the particular comment would hurt him with the far right, but that his overall performance on the show might help his chances when it came to the nomination. It would seem I was probably wrong. I sometimes forget that the far right wackos are the Republican Party.

Well, Newt is what Republicans used to be. I thought your analysis spot on. The screeching harpy Republican News Channel attack wasn't all that predictable.

What this shows is how quickly and how far the Republican party has changed in the past few years. The party has lurched very, very far to the right, is quite out of the mainstream of what used to define "conservative values", and is not representative in the least of what it's always been in modern history.

The Tea Party is now actively fighting Boehner, too, as Boehner recognizes the debt limit has to be raised, and told them so to their face last week. It's beyond absurd. They want to demagogue this country into disaster, reality be damned. It's downright scary.

We had a primary election today in Kentucky (home of Rand Paul, unfortunately): Republicans had the very VERY southern conservative long term state bigwig (an extreme conservative to start with, compared to the 1990's and previous) versus an even more extreme Tea Party candidate. The Tea Party candidate gave him a run for his money, the state bigwig Williams only got 48% of the vote. And the Tea Party candidate beat him in the strongly democratic progressive areas of Fayette Country!

So it seems that conservative minorities in strongly democratic areas are going even more extreme? We'll see. Very low voter turnout.

Once again try and make me STFU.

As little regard as I have for Newt, I agree that it's troubling the response to his comments...the Republican Party is drastically shifting far right and I can only hope the majority of Americans see this because if they gain control it will be a disaster.

It's the "no compromise at all" position being held by what appears to be a minority. Why the GOP is allowing themselves to be held hostage is beyond me. They are afraid of losing the base - well, independents (many Republicans who do not want to associate with the current) will have nothing to do with that crazy train, the sensible GOP should go back to what they have always been. Just stand up for their values.

The Republican party has to be holding on to the crazies for electoral volume only, only as shifting demographics of the future favor more "democratic" leaning voters to be created. I imagine the Republicans fear a large Democratic party, with a smaller Republican party and a Tea Party.

STFU

LMAO. Is that the best you can do?

Big deal I forgot to put a word in.

YOU DONT EDIT MY POSTS I WONT EDIT YOUR POSTS.

I'm a big time right wing Republican but the party is self destructing by trotting out guys like Newt. As much as the country is down on our current "worst president ever" Republican's need to offer more than the Newt's of the world in order to get back in office. Maybe we need some new blood like Chris Christie, minus 50 lbs.

I've always respected fiscal Republicans..I may not agree with their position, but I can understand their logic. It's the social right wing that is the problem and is what will keep the fiscal right from ever being able to advance their cause. If they could ever just figure out that most Americans don't want to be socially engineered, they might get somewhere.

And I'm not sure how you can say that the country is down on President Obama? Right wingers are and will always hate anyone not like them, but when he wins again next year you might think twice about what "most of the country thinks"

Just how would that work Mr. Internet Tough guy? I'm sure this is close to the way it is.

Given that the first person to threaten violence has lost the argument, who would that be?

Good grief, have you caught the last 48 hours of Republican talk? They've eaten Newt alive!

Wow - it seems one candidate sticks their head up out of the gopher hole, and the rest of the party descends upon itself in a Whack-A-Mole orgy.

I guess the next due up for her week in the public limelight will be Michelle Bachmann, the queen of Iowa Tea Parties.

So ... I'll guess the final, out of the Tampa convention GOP candidates will be Romney as Pres, and Pawlenty as VP.

I'm lovin' it! All that pent up hate has to go somewhere...Republicans may be the only species that actually delight in slaughtering their own.

I was going to add Sharia Law Muslims... but that would be too literal.

and racist, well actually biased.

Ok, point taken....Newt still has his head, although that could be considered punishment....

Newt is the best thing the Republican Party has and the Party are just freaking idiots for throwing away their best political mind.

I'm voting for Ron Paul next year

or

Prez Obama

:tro::tro:

seriously?


GOP Rep. Ron Paul stands by his comments the United States should have told Pakistan that American officials were aware of Osama bin Laden’s whereabouts before conducting the raid that led to his demise, Politico reports.

“Why are we having trouble with the [Pakistani] government, why are we stirring up a civil war in Pakistan? It's because we’ve been bombing it," Paul said on "Fox News Sunday."

Paul, who announced Friday he is running for the GOP presidential nomination, said his opposition to the U.S. mission to kill bin Laden is indicative of his non-interventionist foreign policy.

how much money would our country have saved over the years with this type of foreign policy? I dont agree with it 100% though, we needed to be going after OBL and other terrorists.. but think if Ron Paul's strategy was used for Iraq, we would have saved tons of :$:

...and the lives of thousands of U.S., British, and Australian soldiers, Iraqi civilians, U.N. personnel, etc.

true, that is way more important than the dollars.

My 12 yr old daughter said he sounds like a character from Harry Potter.

I have a feeling that Newt is 1000 times brighter and more understanding of the governments' role than Mr Paul Ryan (R-Wisc). Republicans enjoy shooting themselves in the foot.

Strictly from an organazational aspect, they remind me of how the Dems used to operate. A bunch of factions with narrow agendas who forget to understand they can't advance their agenda without embracing others.

very true. it almost seems like they dont want votes.

oh, i've always said iraq was a clusterfu_k of epic proportions. hell, we'd probably we done and gone from afganistan had we not gone off on a tangent into iraq.

however, i think ron paul would be an extreme shift. we can't do it all, but we can't do nothing either.

Getting back to Newt for President ...
 

Well, as everyone knows, Newt's campaign for President pretty much self-destructed this week, and is already being called "over" by many.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/0..._n_863660.html

Probably true. Oh, well.

From his disastrous appearance on Meet The Press, to the glittering attack at a book signing, to having to call Rush on the air having to atone, to flip flopping to three positions in 48 hours, to disavowing his own taped words, to blaming David Gregory, Gingrich spent the week being ... Gingrich.

If you missed it, Gingrich's press secretary sent out the most amazing Press Release in the history of presidential candidate press releases. This is it. No, this is not from The Onion, this is the actual Newt Gingrich press release:

Of course, the entire world has made fun of this press release in the past 24 hours, but none so well as Stephen Colbert, who had Sir John Lithgow do a dramatic reading of it (below link).

Goodbye, Newt! It's only been a week this time! We know you are supposed to do the Sunday Morning Talk Shows again this weekend. We'll see!
