Gingrich Flip-Flops On Libya

[gautama]

What? You got a problem with flip flopping? Asswipe promised before he was elected to free us from foreign oil now he goes down to Brazil promises to fund them 2 Billion dollars to drill oil wells and says we'll be their best customers.. this while thousands of our own oil jobs are lost because of his disgraceful BAN on drilling in the gulf of Mexico. Since he's the one in power I suggest you whine about that for awhile.. go.

The semi-exposed MONUMENTAL FRAUD, Pathological LIAR and Stone Cold MARXIST Obami Salaami is also denying permits for IN SHORE DRILLING of all kinds claiming reliance on GREEN ENERGY which alone is a farcical, ridiculously expensive and inadequate ENERGY DISASTER for America.......especially with the Mid East erupting to the detriment of America's interests and our prices going through the roof !!!!

 

[Political Junky]

Has Gingrich announced more than that he is exploring a possible run?
That gives him the ability to get lots of donations that he can live on, in the meantime.

Gingrich Criticized Obama For Not Intervening In Libya, But Now Criticizes Him For Intervening In Libya


Earlier this month, former Speaker of the House and current presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich was hammering President Obama for not intervening in Libya. Asked, “what would you do about Libya?” Gingrich responded:

Exercise a no-fly zone this evening. … We don’t need to have the United Nations. All we have to say is that we think that slaughtering your own citizens is unacceptable and that we’re intervening.
​

During appearances that same day, Gingrich also said that he would provide help to the Libyan rebels on top of the no-fly zone: “This is a moment to get rid of him. Do it. Get it over with.” He later mocked Obama for filling out an NCAA bracket while France took the lead on intervention.
Now that Obama has initiated a no-fly zone over Libya, Gingrich has completely reversed his position with no apparent explanation. He told Politico over the weekend — less than 24 hours after Obama took action — that “it is impossible to make sense of the standard for intervention in Libya except opportunism and news media publicity.” This morning on the Today Show, he said plainly, “I would not have intervened”:


More . . .

So what's the contradiction?

Gingrich is not flip flopping, he is being totally consistent in saying Obama is wrong even when he is right, that is how he makes his money.

So when you agree with what a Republican does, do you ever question why they did it or do you assume on every occasion they did it for the same reason you would have? Seriously, are you saying you have never, ever doubted the reasons a Republican did something that you agreed with their action on?

Now stop trolling.

 

[NYcarbineer]

This thread is simply more proof of the latent dishonesty of Lefties in here. Clearly he is complaining about going in to late and with out a clear end game, and with a coalition so complicated it may keep us from achieving our goal.

Yet these liberals in here are trying to say he is complaining about going in at all.

You guys never met a lie you didn't love I see.

Do you walk more lightly, having totally shed the burden of credibility?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

I wonder if he flip flops with his wives again.

I wonder if you will ever post something of substance to discuss rather than attacking politicians you don't like for non-political reasons.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....all-of-a-sudden, ol' Frig Newton isn't a major-proponent o' "Family Values", huh??

Hmmmmmmmmmm.....to follow-up with that good ol' "conservative"-logic.....Why does Frig Newton (all-of-a-sudden) HATE "Family Values"??????

My guess is that Newt is trying to read the tea-leaves. His reflex is to support using military action abroad but the Tea Party is generally against this. And since Newt wants to be a Tea Party guy, he realized that he'd better get on board and do a switch-a-roo.

Hell....Ol' Frig Newton has (always) been as consistent as Joe Scarborough's hair-color, and.....

.....Nancy Grace's GIRTH!!

(Matched, only, by her lack o' general-knowledge.

)

 

[Intense]

Let's just keep ignoring the rule of law, and just avoid it. Contradict everything you claimed under Bush to support Obama's missteps in Libya. What a joke. Who are we supporting there again???

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Get your priorities straight lefties. It don't really matter what Gingrich said or didn't say does it?

No.....it DON'T!!!

(You 'Baggers' expertise at basic-English is always so amusing.)

What REALLY matters is......his episodes are RECORDED!!!!!

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Get your priorities straight lefties. It don't really matter what Gingrich said or didn't say does it?

As a leading Republican nominee for the presidency in 2012, it matters what he says.

Absolutely!!!!

You'd think whitehall would know, by now, that the auto-"passes" don't kick-in, until.....

....AFTER the Election!!

(....Well, at least for "conservative"-Presidents.)​

The semi-exposed MONUMENTAL FRAUD, Pathological LIAR and Stone Cold MARXIST Obami Salaami is also.....

WHOOPS!!!

You forgot one......

RECORD-BREAKING PRESIDENCY!!!

Gingrich is the poster boy for everything that's wrong with this nation.

Hmmmmmmmmmm......what're the chances he's (also) bangin' that other Family-Values-candidate, on-the-side.....the mostly-virginal (and, part-time employed) Christine O'Donnell??



(Although....he might already be her mentor.)​

Yeah.....like TRYING to ambush Obama!!!!!

Hippity-hoppity...

... all in a day's work...

... in Washington.

 

[R.D.]

I'm sure alot of people who were originally for intervention will flip on Libya before this is through. The more information we recieve, the less this seems like a good idea. I mean wouldnt it have been nice to know the rebels were members of Al Qaeda before we supported them?

There is good reason to critisize him for not acting sooner. Acting after the fact that the rebel's weakened to the point they may no longer be a real force against the gov't because Obama waffled on who was in charge.

Ironically as a senator he would have voted against this action

 

[ClosedCaption]

Here is a simple formula to find out where the right stands on an issue: if Obama does it, he's wrong, if he doesn't...he's wrong
