The Trash Newt Thread

[Air&Road]

Now that Newt is climbing in the polls he is obviously the next one with the target on his back. Politico and others will be scheming and caniving soon.

This thread is provided so that all you lefties out there can get a head start on Politico.

I provided the thread, now you can provide the trash.

No need to trash Newt. He has self-immolated with his own behavior.

Well, then it should be quite easy for everyone to pile on.

What exactly has he done to get such a bad rep?

The biggest rap on Newt is the fact that he has been married three times, and each marriage failed because he was cheating on the previous wife with some young thang who worked in his office. His last dalliance was with a women 23 years his junior, who he was banging on the side at the same time he was accusing Clinton of being a serial philanderer. The grotesque hypocrisy of this man is unbelievable.

For an unknown number of years, Gingrich's foundation has been shamelessly trading on what prestige his name has by awarding Honorary Awards for excellence to people seemingly taken from the phone book, in exchange for a handling fee of around $5000 IIRC.

Was reported to have taken in millions doing that.

Beat me to it.

Newt already ran and already got trashed. We could have a retrash Newt thread.

Well, the connotation of the thread seems to be intentional trolling?

Easy now, thats not fair.

Gingrich is clever. If he can get into one-on-one debates with Romney, he will probably do well, until people fact check him and compare his pronouncements against his previous positions. Once that starts, I think he will fall back in the polls. People who know him well seem to have little respect for him, so I would not expect to see people coming to his defense unless he starts to look like he might win.

Here's a good piece on Newt's comical reaction to events in Lybia earlier this year: Newt Gingrich on Libya policy: Firing in every direction - The Washington Post

You do realize that Politico is run by a former assitant to President Reagan, do you not? :

Fred Ryan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And he is not some editor there, he is the CEO, the guy who only needs to pick up the phone if there is some kind of biased reporting going on, you know that, right? How exactly is a guy who spends his time on the side being the chairman of the Reagan Presidential Library, how can he somehow be a "lefty" at the same time? Are you saying he is a spy of some sort? That the GOP lets a spy run the Reagan Library, a shadow Democrat of some sorts? I don't think so. What I think, is that when you identify "Politico" with "lefties", you are simply making it all up. Politico is a news outlet run by a top member of the Republican Establishment wing, so it is pretty easy to make the case that Politico is probably in the bag for Romney, given who actually runs the place, a Reagan guy, then it is to claim it is some "lefty" information outlet. The real truth is you are so brainwashed, it is impossible for you to see the truth, and that anyone who attacks your guy must be a "lefty". So the real truth is, you are so far to the right, even the Reaganites have become "lefties" to you.

Why are you making things up about "lefties" when it is obvious that you folks on the right are eating each other alive in your quest for power?

Red= Well there you go.
Blue= Never implied.

I don't see Politico leaning any which way but loose, ever since their endorsement of President Bush years ago. I enjoy reading you tell Larry he's brainwashed and basically implying ignorance to the 'truth', when you yourself take the stance of every lefty I have the so 'gracious opportunity' to converse with in Connecticut.

Don't worry Larry, we're just too simple and ignorant to see that the left wing knows whats best for us common folk. Maybe I should emulate our current President and play a round of golf in between classes and conferences. Or lend money to companies that go belly up all over the place. Or force emissions regulations that no one wants to adhere to except So Cal. Buy out an awful auto union to produce more cars no one 'wants'.

As to our ravenous appetite for power, I don't recall President Bush entering a conflict without Congressional approval or throwing fliff around like a sultan. I also only recall the slaying of one dictator under Bush's regime, and two down thus far in the Obama Presidency.
So... who's the war monger?

I don't get why anyone follows the leader boards regarding who's on top in the public vote for the Republicans. While Romney isn't the furthest right candidate we've got, he's well moderate enough to succeed appealing to ALL constituents. Plus, it's the RNCs final decision anyways. Cain is obviously a no go-- he has less foreign policy education than Obama. Gingrich is an easy kill skeleton wise, but I would thoroughly enjoy watching him mop the floor with Obama in a debate. I can hear him stutter like Dubya now.

Ah, who can argue with the voice of years of experience, watching political campaigns, personally living through various administrations, choosing and voting for presidents. How many was it again?
