Newt, the Democratic Mole

· Tuesday, January 10, 2012

The New York Times' Bill Keller wants Hillary Clinton to replace Joe Biden on the Obama re-election ticket, but a better, likelier choice by far is available -- one Newton Leroy Gingrich, reputedly a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination but in fact, an Obama surrogate working for Democratic victory in November.

I have proof. That's to say, Gingrich keeps opening his mouth. Aargghhhh. The stuff that spills out!

The terrible, horrible, no good, please-go-away race for the Republican presidential nomination has the potential to deliver President Obama the kind of ringing affirmation that seemed impossible not many months ago. That was before the former Republican speaker of the House of Representatives began shrieking his dislike and contempt for, well, the candidate likeliest to deny him, Newt Gingrich. Can you imagine it for a second? -- the right to make over America in his personal and intellectual image.

No one treats Newton Leroy Gingrich like that and gets away with it. No one. If Republican voters are duped somehow into misappraising his genius and they spurn his suit, Gingrich appears to have decided, perhaps after consultation with heaven, that he'll show 'em. He'll pull down the temple, Samson-like. (Newton Gingrich fancies comparison to the strong and the brave.) Beneath the Republican ruins, we'll lie and sigh while the proud van of the Obama campaign sweeps past to victory.

Gingrich as a vice presidential nominee? Why not? Who can fairly be judged at this point to have done more than Newton Gingrich to undermine the Obama resistance movement?

In a New Hampshire debate, the former speaker of the House instructs his main presidential rival, Mitt Romney, to drop the "pious baloney." Nice, high-toned language, don't you agree? Very presidential. But we have to move on quickly, to ingest the news that Newton Leroy Gingrich, with the aid of a gambling baron from Nevada, will be distributing far and wide a 28-minute documentary purporting to expose the seamy side of Mitt Romney -- his heartlessness, as head of an investment firm, in trying to restore the fortunes of failed or failing companies. Romney says his stewardship created a net 100,000 jobs, notwithstanding that other jobs were eliminated in the process.

As it happens, the Romney record at Bain Capital (the firm he left in 1999) is a favorite Democratic theme. The day before the New Hampshire primary, the Democratic National Committee released a web video making essentially the same charges as Gingrich. The Democrats -- with little to tout in the way of economy-reviving policies -- have long promised to throw Bain's "job destruction" record in the face of a GOP ticket headed by Romney. Why wait? the ex-speaker seems to reason. Let's do it now, since nothing else seems to be helping the Gingrich campaign.

The Bain story is complex as all get-out, even for the Wall Street Journal's attempt this week, in a news story, to simplify the matter. This is all the more reason to handle the story gingerly. Ah, but "gingerly" isn't the Gingrich style. Nothing else will do for Gingrich but that Bain Capital's attempts to turn around hard-up companies represent greed and contempt for all but the wealthy. Exactly -- as Romney points out -- "the type of criticism we've come to expect from President Obama and his left-wing allies at Moveon.org."

Even without Newton Leroy, the GOP presidential quest, with its mostly B-list roster of candidates, would have been less than inspirational. With him, the contest turns potentially fratricidal, just when the party should be starting to consider the healing of wounds, the unification of message, the overdue observance of Ronald Reagan's once-famous 11th Commandment -- to speak no ill of a fellow Republican.

Obama-Gingrich -- the sound of such a political union has a rich ring, in spite of what one knows already about Barack Obama; namely, he understands the futility of joining forces with a fellow know-it-all. Newton Leroy Gingrich is anything but the easiest man in America to live with -- as two ex-wives might some day be induced to explain.

It was only a matter of time for the caustic Gingritch to self destruct. His own worst enemy is his own big mouth, and what he says more often than not makes him enemies, not friends. Today we should see Gingrich lose more steam as the process unfolds. Candidates need to focus on Chairman Obamao and his lawless regime, not attacking each other personally, but legitimately pointing our differences. Gingritch seems a petulant child with his personal off message attacks on the competition.

I'm of a different opinion. The democrats will have little left to bring to the table come election time. Gingrich, as much as I distrust him, appears to be the only candidate capable of reversing what Obama and the democratic congress have created. He's proving he has the mettle to fight back rather than play pattycake. For me, it still boils down to whether or not I can trust him to be a true conservative.

I've heard consistently that Newt is a problem, yet I see nothing he has done that any other candidate has not ALREADY done. He is fighting for his bid for President of the United States. The media want to demonize him because THEY don't like him. He is no friend to the media to be sure and I LOVE that! The media started this fight against Gingrich. They started badmouthing him first. Then the Romeny SuperPAC savaged him further. They expected him to boil over. I have seen nothing of the kind. He has simply begun to fight for himself. He is allowed to do just that. Gingrich is no "petulant child". He is a very intelligent candidate, that no one in the media seems to like. I could care less about the media than I ever did about their opinion on a presidential candidate. They have never been fair or balanced, and they never intend to be, unless things GO THEIR WAY. The media has turned out to be the petulant child in this situation. Brit Hume is fair salivating and Krauthammer has begun to liken Newt to Ahab. Unfortunately, these two never said one bad word about Romney. They have picked up their pitchforks and are trying to gouge the masses into voting for Romney. This is sickening to say the least. People are really easily led, I am afraid.

I will stand by Newt. He is the only one who can debate Obama and win. Beleive what you will, but Romney is a spoiled brat who always must have his way. There was no mention of Romney's arrest in 1982 for defiance of a park ranger in Massachusetts, yet it happened. The records had been sealed. Who wants records like that sealed unless they were in the wrong and acting like a "petulant child".

Sad who the masses are led around by their noses.

Another thing...Chris Christie uses his caustic tongue to manage the masses in FAVOR OF Romney and no one says a mean word about him...only praise, but let Newt try to fight back against the media and the other candidates... and all of a sudden he is a caustic human being who cannot be trusted. What a load of horse manure the people are being fed!

Believe what you will, but you are being led down the primrose path of biased media.

Little Mittens is a big boy---he doesn't need Mr. Murchison's help to beat up on Newt.

I'm no fan of either Mitt or Newt, but, really, is Newt's given name an important issue? I always thought that sort of childish stuff was a liberal trademark. Remember back when saying "J. Danforth Quayle" was some sort of inside joke among liberals? It probably still is (I quit talking politics with liberals some time ago). Anyways, it seems to that Mr. Murchison is the only one acting like a mole---a liberal mole, that is.

I am done with Newt. He has proven to me now that he will say anything needed to win.

His solution for solving the Healthcare management issue - computerized medical records - is naive and not based in bedside reality. He is an advocate for Health savngs accounts - but so are most real conservatives. That's not good enough.

Sorry Newt, but even tough the real conservatives have been beat down and out by the media and the Rhino elites, I will side with the most conservative I can find - and that looks like Santorum. Anyone can beat Obama, but the real test is going to be winnibg control of the senta and thus controling the Agenda in washington.

I am sending my money to the TEA PARTY candiates in many Republican primaries around the country. That is where we will save the country.

@ M Rick Timms MD: The last sentence of your response is the key: supporting Tea Party candidates for Congress. In my way of thinking, the Republicans have already lost the 2012 presidential election. Monkeys onstage, all. So, gain control of the House and Senate and tie the socialist president's hands until a decent candidate comes along.

Thanks Tex. I am a little more optimistic. I think Romney may win, but it will take a conservative Congress to drive the conservative legislative agenda. If he is faced with a conservative bill supported by both Houses, even Mitt would have to go along.

Obviously if Obama wins, it will take impeachment/conviction to remove him. Certainly the basis for such exists now, but that will continue to be ignored by the media.

Good points, Dr. Timms.
