For Gingrich, times have changed...

[Mr. Shaman]

After Gingrich's arrogant display of righteous indignation and sanctimony over the John King question at the debate about his adultery,

I think a quick reminder of what the old Gingrich used to think about such 'private' matters, especially as they related to politics:

October 30, 1998

Gingrich Orchestrated GOP Ads Recalling Clinton-Lewinsky Affair

The GOP's multimillion dollar ad campaign invoking President Clinton's relationship with Monica S. Lewinsky was devised by House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) and tested before more than three dozen groups of likely voters before Republicans unleashed the assault, party sources said yesterday.

In reviving the presidential sex scandal just one week before Election Day, Gingrich and his chief strategists aimed to energize their most loyal supporters, whose enthusiasm appeared to be waning after House conservatives lost the budget fight and the Clinton scandal fell off the front pages....

"We tested and tested and honed and honed until we got to the point we felt our base understood the message we were trying to get to them," said Rich Galen, an informal adviser to Gingrich.

In April, Gingrich told supporters, "I will never again, as long as I am speaker, make a speech without commenting on this topic," referring to the presidential scandal....

...the party had hoped the harshest anti-Clinton ads would slip under the national news media's radar and only reach conservative voters in the South....

And on and on and on.

I guess that shoe is really uncomfortable on the other foot, isn't it Newt?

Newt's hypocracy regards THSI ISSUE is well understood for those of us capable of independent thinking.


Here in this board, that's about one out of three posters.

If liberals are so pleased about it, why are they attacking them so viciously? You can always tell who liberals fear by watching who they attack the most. You don't see them attacking Romney nearly has strongly as they attack Gingrich.

Liberals are pleased because Gingrich's chances of beating Obama are far less than Romney's.

And Gingrich is an even bigger douche than Romney (as high as Romney may have set the douche bar)

...so it's more fun attacking Newt.

It's just amazing that some think Gingrich could win!

Talk about willful ignorance.

After 2 years of Tea Party bluff and bluster it's down to Romney vs. Gingrich. It's as if the Loyalists won the American Revolution.

I hope this Primary goes on for a looong time so that they get ALL the dirty laundry out

Interestingly, it appears that both conservatives AND liberals seem quite pleased that Gingrich apparently got a nice boost from his 'smackdown' of John King last night.

not sure Gingrich is more electable than Romney.....but Gingrich will have a field day against Obama in the deabtes. How the media will paint them, however, may make things difficult for Gingrich.
Romney, at best, will have an equal debate with Obama.

Stop crying about the media. Be a man for once.

 

[Article 15]

If Gingrich gets the nomination he will lose, and lose big because he repulses people.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm not afraid of either of them because neither have a snowball's chance in hell of beating Obama.

A dead carp could beat Obama.

The Poster Boy for the 1% vs. the Poster Boy for political opportunism.


There's no teabagger 'conservative' anywhere in there . . .

That's why the voters make the decision. What is repulsing people is that this president has gone out of his way to be the anti jobs president and cannot do anything to repair this economy.
