Gingrich is right: Sharia is incompatible with US values

 

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a political bull often on the lookout for a politically correct china shop, has rattled the orthodoxy of political correctness once again, saying that those who follow Sharia law can’t also be loyal to the U.S., Constitution and the Western values it represents and either shouldn’t be allowed to enter the U.S. or should be deported from it. This didn’t sit well with President Barack Hussein Obama. As the Daily Caller reports:

On Friday, Barack Obama called Newt Gingrich’s plan to deport sharia-adhering Muslims in America “repugnant and an affront to everything that we stand for as Americans.”

In the aftermath of the terrorist attack in Nice, France, Gingrich said, “We should, frankly, test every person here who is of a Muslim background, and if they believe in Sharia, they should be deported. Sharia is incompatible with Western civilization.”....

Newt on the Ryan Budget

Upon first look at the budget put forth by Congressman Ryan, Former Speaker of the House (and at the time presidential candidate) Newt Gingrich had some harsh words as to what he thought of the budget. He has amended his statement, voicing his support of changes and the congressman/now vice-presidential pick.

He said this on Sunday:

"The basic thrust of (Ryan’s budget plan) is the right direction for the country. The one thing I objected to back in May of 2011 was that he eliminated Medicare for everybody. He came back with Ron Wyden. He met my only objection.”
143138843.jpg?uuid=o3ZSMI4uEeGNaTMwIj7ukgNewt Gingrich has been campaigning aggressively for Mitt Romney over the past few weeks.

Read more…

   This has been one of the most unusual presidential campaigns in modern history;but Hope is Still Alive in some conservative circles, and We the People of the Conservative GOP can still envision a brokered convention that overcomes all of the injustices, potential fraud, corruption, lies, and muddy money thrown at the honorable Statesman, Patriot, and still most qualified to lead and defeat Obama...Newt [You can count on me to support any GOP candidate provided it is a TRUE CONSERVATIVE choice, and not a Mirage]. Our path to VICTORY is simple. For the balance of the primaries, we must rally support behind our former opponent, Dr Ronald Earnest Paul, and here's why: quite simply, he is the only one left with money, machine, and zero debt, to #StopMitt.  #RonPaul cannot likely make 1144 at this point either, but with help from a #NewtRevolution coalition, neither will Mitt Romney.
Last Week, Texas Politico Polling showed Newt within "Striking Distance" in Texas with 45% to Romney, 35% to Newt, and 14% for Ron Paul. If that Poll would hold, then Paul would normally get ZERO delegates from his home state,since he got less than required 15%, and Newt and Mitt would divide them up. However, Newt's suspension of the campaign is big game changer, and, the all too soon unconditional surrender by Randy Evans, Gov Rick Perry, and other surrogates whom quickly endorsed liberal Romney, assures us that the 35% Poll numbers will not hold for Newt, but will plummet to inconsequential levels.
However, Ron Paul is still very much alive on the campaign trail, with money in the bank, zero debt, and a great story to tell. He has already reportedly made an alliance with Santorum followers in Colorado and other places to address injustices and corruption within the party.They are there. No use continuing to be in denial. But we the people still can do something about it.
My main opposition amongst conservatives is worrying about Ron Paul. First of all, this is not about Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum or Mitt Romney. They all have great personalities, or they would not have the big crowds, speaking of which, Paul's crowds have been competing with Obama in size. Yes, i still have problems with Paul on Foreign Policy,but he appears to be trying to mainly get back to putting more war decisions in hands of Congress, vs one man, the presidency.All that said, I AM STILL #WITHNEWT, Period [although I would support any TRUE CONSERVATIVE with a Proven Record and not a Mirage}.
As Conservatives, our goal is NOT "Anybody But Obama". We are NOT against Obama as a person. Rather, we stand against the ideas, philosophy,and policies that are shipwrecking our great country. Newt has always said it best, that this conservative battle is a battle for IDEAS, and that IDEAS MATTER.  The Left in the GOP is begging Paul, Newt, and Santorum supporters to UNITE and to be UNIFIERS, because they want to nominate Mitt Romney, since, if Mitt does manage to beat Obama, the end result is still the same...THEIR IDEAS WIN. To replace Obama with an Obama look alike is ridiculous, and certain suicide for the true conservative cause.
If those with Santorum and Newt will rally behind Ron Paul now, he will gain an amazing number of delagates, and #STOPMITT from ever getting 1144. But Ron Paul will not likely get to 1144 either, at this stage, however, at an Open Convention, everything will be on the table without any outside, disingenuous influence from Democrats in Open Primaries or ballot shenanigans. We the GOP will decide whom our candidate will be, not the liberal and moderate GOP Establishment, not Fox News, CNN, or the lame stream media.
Right Now, I hope you will join me, and the many others whom understand that this could be the Newt's [and Tea Party Patriots'] finest hour; for,  while he may have thought he left the race, truth is, the Spirit of his IDEAS is still very much alive. It is for those IDEAS, and the common cause of defeating the wrong ideas, that I and many others enjoin our efforts with Dr Ronald Earnest Paul, to Save the Republican Party from destroying itself by nominating a self proclaimed "Progressive" (Mitt Romney Video on YouTube,"I'm a non-partisan Republican and a Progressive"], which by definition is "soft communism or socialism".  [ See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressivism  ]

The Adelson family continues to be the major benefactor behind the super PAC supporting Newt Gingrich's candidacy, Winning Our Future.

While Nevada casino mogul Sheldon Adelson - who has donated $7.5 million to the group - did not give more in March, his wife Dr. Miriam Adelson contributed an additional $5 million last month, according to a report filed late Friday night with the Federal Election Commission. All totaled she has given $12.5 million and the family has given more than $20 million.

The family's contributions to Winning Our Future are a major reason the group has been able to continue operating. In total the group has raised $23 million.

Mandate vs. Non-Mandate

You do not hear a report on the Republican Presidential Election today that does not include the words "presumptive nominee, Mitt Romney".  We will get into some details there as a sidebar, but mainly, this will discuss the messages of the remaining campaigns.  Make no mistake, you will NOT hear this side on the Mainstream Media... yet!

We have three men left in the campaign.  Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and Ron Paul are still running.  Mitt lead a state, Newt was speaker of the House of Representatives, and Congressman Ron Paul leads the relovetion "movement".  To take the easy one first, there is not so much as a piece of legistation that Ron Paul can put his name on in 20 years.  He has been ineffectual as a congressman, and little more can be expected from a Paul Administration, should he be elected.  That is before we we consider Paul's ostrich foreign policy platform.  So we are down to two serious contenders.  

Romney has money, AND connections in the media.  While he has maintained an arms length from Bain Capital, he still has his "wealth" managed there.  Bain is a treasure trove of issues to fire up Americans with, and Romney was its leader.  But here is the big thing; Bain owns Clear Channel Radio, which syndicates Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, and others.  The conservative base is influenced by those hosts!  You can hear the urge to speak positively of Newt as they avoid it like the plague.  BUT, Mitt only owns the conservative media!

Owning something is not as important as what you do with that something.  Romney goes from place to place, reading his teleprompter, and taking few questions.  He claims to be pro life, now. He loves Cars, and Lakes, and is (this election cycle) a proponent of the 2nd Amendment.  Romney's main strategy has been turn out  suppression.  Can you point to an issue that Romney championed in the last four years?

There is one!  Most can't really say he was a champion, but Obama referred to him, in 2009,  time and time again as THE republican that supported RobamneyCare.  Mitt never denied it!  Still today, he can not deny it!  Which brings up the mandate.  What kind of mandate will Romney have if elected?  When he champions an issue, how strong will he be?  

Moreover, Newt Gingrich is driving for a Mandate.  The whitehouse has started two efforts to combat Newt.  Their energy response to $2.50 Gas is falling flat.  Their "War On Women", a direct response to the First Amendment Religious Freedom Newt has been touting, is flailing.  Newt called them out on it when George Stephanopolus initiated it.  Primarily, Newt has stuck to the precepts of building a mandate, to the point of publishing it at http://www.newt.org/contract/.  

Mitt has been trippped up over the Religious Freedom issue in interviews on Fox.  Mitt's campaign has signalled an etch-a-sketch strategy once he is rid of these pesky idealists.  Romney's issue free candidacy will give up the "not a dimes worth of difference" argument that killed our base in 2008.  Mitt will not have a mandate, and will be hamstrung in special interest fights, if elected!

The next President will face forces that have been digging in over the last four years.  How much is changed directly relates to how well we recover, from the Fannie/Freddie debacle, as well as National Security and General American Health.  Newt has had to answer the question "When are you getting out?" ad nauseum.  Mitt will have to answer "So why are you running?" to the same extent from the liberal media.  Mitt WILL gaffe!  Romney will face the refrain, "you ran against a mandate, and won!"  The liberal media has spent their ammo on Newt.  Newt's mandate will stand after the election.

Newt said, "Money spent without purpose, in a campaign without an argument, is waste of Money!"  Newt has the arguments, and he is the master of them.  Speaker Gingrich is running to give YOU a choice! To preserve America, and to win the presidency, we must support Newt Gingrich for the GOP nomination, and for the Office of the President of these United States of America!

And Then There were two!

By now you have heard...  Rick Santorum has dropped out of the race!  He ran a good race.  His daughter, Bella is sick, and in the hospital.  I am sure you will join with me to pray for Bella and the whole Santorum Family.  These have got to be tough times.

In the end, Rick's depth was unable to sustain him.  Santorum was a TV commentator before he threw his hat into the ring.  He was on from time to time, but really was not a regular on any show.  Having lost in Pennsylvania by 18 points, his impending loss there in two weeks would have destroyed any chance at getting better exposure.

Now it is just Newt and Mitt.  Newt has drawn the fire of the White House for $2.50 Gas, and Religious Freedom!  Mitt drew his first comments today, for running a negative campaign!  Do you know what Mitt's platform is?  Can you name a key issue Mitt has championed?

I can.  Mitt Romney advocated for RobamneyCare in 2009.  He was on several interviews touting his mandate.  Mitt was chipping away at the resolve and resistance to the government forcing citizens into commerce (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ5QHsmOAlE).  The conclusion that Romney would have cost the Republican Party their unanimous opposition, had he had a vote, is not beyond the pale.

Is that the kind of man that will ferret out the various tendrils of ObamaCare?  Without a detailed plan of action from day one, can we trust Mitt to stand up to the monstrosity our government has become?  Does anyone seriously think Mitt will be able to call out Obama on the lies and confusion we all know is coming?

Newt, on the other hand will turn our country back into the tradewinds.  Speaker Gingrich has shown the ability to pull details out the air that correllate with the public record, at the drop of a hat.  You know you want to see that!

But beyond the theatrics, Speaker Gingrich knows the government, and their games.  He knows the lay of the legislative land.  What's more, Newt will work with both sides, as he did with Clinton in passing entitlement reform!  The media won't tout that.  It will be just as it was with Reagan.  We will see our commander-in-chief bypassing the media often!

As President, Newt will actually propose a budget that will get a yes vote in congress!  He will institutionalize savings with the Chilean Plan, rather than leaving it to the general budget!  The Speaker will revamp the Fed.  And Newt will put the courts in their proper place with constitutional procedures and historical (and legal) precedents!  You can learn more at http://www.newt.org/contract/.

Newt is going to Tampa.  He has the depth of business to get there - as a candidate.  But wait, the state of Texas has issued a debate challenge to all of the candidates, and Texas could matter.  Articles are appearing claiming the Republicans have a problem motivating their base!  They are right!  Romney is driving them away!  With the bulk of "Not Romney" voters now hammering newt.org, the game has changed!

Unless you want a Massachusetts Moderate, and a repeat of 2008, Newt needs your help now.  Go to http://grassroots.newt.org to get involved!  Do it for Virginia. Do it for America.  Do it for yourself.

Etch-A-Sketch Campaigns

This episode shows that the candidate who first drew White House fire can adjust to events.  Newt's $2.50 Gas is "an old fashioned pocketbook appeal" by his own admission.  Obama is going to oil fields in response.  Meanwhile, Ricky is digging his Gaffe hole with lamentations of Principle over Statehood, and unemployment.  Newt gets the video here, giving a child in his crowd a souvenier that will not be forgotten.

Early in the race, Newt was hammered for being undisciplined.  Just recently, Newt stuck to his tack of ignoring Presidential Religion comments.  Even under such whithering adversity, Newt has shown agility.  The gaffes in the other campaigns show who is truly disciplined, and whose cannons can be knocked loose.

Newt can campaign with what fits under the seat in front of him.  His message comes from him.  He knows the waters we will have to cross.  Speaker Gingrich has been choosing our subjects in this election cycle.  Are we going to ignore that?  The others are just looking to sit atop the hay stack.  Obama has demonstrated that fact to our dismay.

Go to http://grassroots.newt.org, register, and help get American back on track.  It costs nothing but your time!

Newt, Santorum debut Etch A Sketch props on the trail (Updated)
By EMILY SCHULTHEIS | POLITICO

Newt Gingrich gleefully seized on Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom's "Etch A Sketch" comments from this morning, bringing out an Etch A Sketch as a prop on the campaign trail today.

Gingrich, via POLITICO's Ginger Gibson, called Fehrnstrom's comment a sign that the conservative movement couldn't trust Romney to stick to his positions in the fall:

"Now given everybody's fears about Gov. Romney's flip-flops, to have his communications director say publicly to all of us, if we're dumb enough to nominate him we should expect by the acceptance speech he'll move back to the left, triggers everything we should worry about," he told a crowd in Lake Charles, La.

Tim Tebow, the Super Bowl, Newt Gingrich, and the Future of Our Country
By Kris Zane
February 6, 2012

When Tim Tebow, whose ubiquitous expression of his love for God on bended knee threw 316 yards and averaged 31.6 yards per completion in the Broncos-Steelers game, many saw it as a sign and connection to John 3:16, the most famous verse in the Bible.

But was the Super Bowl between the Patriots and Giants also a sign, a sort of David versus Goliath, a good versus evil: the Patriots from the greater Boston area, the seat of love for country, versus New York, the seat of liberalism, anti-American sentiment, and Occupy protesters defecating on police cars.

Even the Super Bowl TV ads seemed to be in a battle, between pro-American themed commercials versus the usual hedonistic fare.  One commercial had the theme from the movie Rocky, “Getting Strong Now” playing in the background, beckoning back to a time in America when we were proud of our country; when Presidents didn’t go around the world apologizing for America; a time when Supreme Court justices didn’t jaunt around the globe denigrating our Constitution, as Ruth Ginsberg did recently in Egypt. Heroes and Super hero-themed movies were also advertised, like GI Joe: Retaliation, the ultimate in good versus evil, and Avengers, with a slew of superheroes, when America could use a few super heroes to look up to. There was also an ad for Act of Valor, a movie that actually portrays our military and their families in a good light instead of the endless America-bashing Hollywood serves up endlessly.

Lady Gaga, instead of Madonna, could have been chosen for the halftime show: hedonism versus a love for God and country. But Madonna was chosen, again from a different era, when love of country and love of God were not dirty words. Madonna’s new upbeat song,  “Give Me All Your Luvin’”, performed during halftime, also beckoned back to a better time with the sound of girl bands in the 1980s like the Go Go’s, with visuals of football and cheerleaders, in which you couldn’t get much more American- themed. She closed her fantastic half-time show with “Like a Prayer,” flanked by a large choir, perhaps a sign to America that we should move away from the Secular Machine of the Obama administration, whose order to the Catholic Church under the ObamaCare HHS mandate to begin providing health insurance coverage in Catholic hospitals, universities, and charitable organizations that include contraception, sterilization, and abortifacients has been repudiated nationwide by the Catholic church, and has even led to the Obama Administration censoring Catholic chaplains in the military. The Catholic Church is now fighting back

Newt Gingrich, a Catholic, was one of the first to publicly repudiate the HHS mandate and also fits into our analogy. Mitt Romney, the Goliath, backed by an endless supply of money from Wall Street, droned on and on to the American public by the mainstream media as the “inevitable” Republican candidate and being stuffed down the throats of conservative America by the Republican machine and most of the Right-wing media as the only “viable” candidate, dwarfs our David, Newt Gingrich, but Romney the Goliath is no conservative. 

Newt Gingrich, with little money, is demonized ad nauseam by the mainstream media, the Left,  the Romney machine, the Republican Party, and now by most of the Right-wing media. ABC tried to destroy Gingrich by airing an interview with Newt’s ex-wife two days before the South Carolina primary—allegations that are not news, being told ad nauseam for years. John King, as if it were merely by chance, made the allegations by the ex-wife the very first question in the CNN debate in order to bring Gingrich down— ironically, it had the opposite effect. After Romney was trounced in South Carolina by Gingrich, the Romney machine spent fifteen million dollars on attack ads in Florida alone.  On January 25 and 26, the Right-wing media, led by National Review Online and followed byDrudge Report’s screaming headlines and most of the remainder of the Right-wing media,  mounted an orchestrated attack within hours of each other, questioning Gingrich’s support of and relationship with Ronald Reagan, of which those who were close to Reagan repudiated, including Ronald Reagan’s son. A large part of the Tea Party, however, and a huge grassroots movement on thousands of websites and with millions of tweets and emails, stayed strong in their candidate. 

Gingrich is not back backed by Wall Street. The Left has made him Enemy #1. Gingrich has been demonized by both the mainstream and most of the Right-wing media. Both the Romney machine and the Republican machine have perpetrated lies about him ad nauseam. He is faced with what looks like an insurmountable task. A David versus a Goliath. A Patriot versus a Giant. 
With the New England Patriots’ loss to the New York Giants, like Tebow’s 316 rushing yards being seen as a sign of God’s hand in man’s events, will Newt Gingrich the Patriot lose the election to Romney the Giant? Has God turned his back on David and taken the side of Goliath for the sins of this country? Will He deliver us into the hands of another four years of Obama—which is what a Romney Republican ticket will mean. Will America turn their backs on Gingrich, patriots, movies that instill and uplift American values; place Madonna’s musical resurrection as an aberration, and embrace Romney, hedonistic movies, Lady Gaga, and eventually, in the end, Obama’s secular socialist machine? Only God knows...

4063444283?profile=originalI attended Newt Gingrich's party at the Rosen Centre in Orlando last night. Over a hundred media outlets were there. Despite not winning Florida, the mood of Gingrich supporters was extremely upbeat; waving signs, “46 States To Go!” Gingrich's speech was awesome! He talked about overturning Obama's policies to which the crowd was elated. He did not mention Romney at all.


I never do this. However, as I surveyed the ballroom, I noticed I was one of only about ten blacks in attendance out of the hundreds at the party. Frustrated, I thought, “Where are the black people? And why have they not embraced our conservative message which I know in my heart is best for all Americans?”


Years of Liberalism and Obama's presidency has been devastating to the black community. http://securetheserights.net/?p=643


And yet, like zombies, blacks blindly continue to vote for “the problem” which is Liberalism intrenched in the Democratic Party rather than “the solution” which is Conservatism.


While I do not blame Conservatives for the lack of black faces at our events, I do feel Conservatives have a moral obligation to “spend some money” pursuing/educating blacks; break the false paradigm that the “democrats are their friends”.


In candid moments, some Conservatives say, “Why bother? Blacks are going to vote democrat...period. And besides, blacks are only 12% of the population.”


As I stated, we Conservatives have a moral obligation to liberate our fellow Americans who are black from the slavery of years of failed liberal democrat policies. It is simply the right thing to do.

Tea Party Express Touring Florida: DAY ONE

4063441167?profile=originalTea Party Express Touring Florida: DAY ONE


My colleague on three Tea Party Express national bus tours has been conservative rapper David Saucedo known as Politik. One of David's songs is titled, “That's The Tea Party”. Tea Party Express team members have adopted David's song title to describe traveling on the Tea Party Express. For Example: “Functioning on little to no sleep – that's the tea party”.


Well, here we go again. Tea Party Express called me 10pm Thursday to hit the road Friday at 2:30pm to begin a four day tour of Florida. Fellow team member and patriot, conservative radio talk show host, Andrea Shea King picked me up at a gas station off of I-95 to rendezvous with the Tea Party Express tour bus in Jacksonville. This life is too glamorous for words.


Our Jacksonville rally hosted by First Coast Party featured former Congressman, J.C. Watts. I did not know he was a Baptist minister until I heard his wonderful compelling speech today. Before he spoke, I met and chatted with Congressman Watts on the Tea Party Express bus. I complemented him for standing firm when he was attacked for being a black republican on the Chris Rock TV show. Congressman Watts said he refuses to fit into a suit someone else has prepared for him, nor will he succumb to group think. I was impressed. J.C. Watts is a great man of character.


Team members were moved by the passion of the Sciolaro family who drove from Kansas to attend our rally. They traveled to primaries volunteering for Rick Perry and were heartbroken when Perry dropped out. As per Perry's instructions, they have rallied around Newt.


The eldest daughter of the Sciolaro family was so frustrated with her college professors, she changed her major to Political Science. Mom, Vicki Sciolaro said she woke up this morning so discouraged about our country that she cried. But, she prayed and God gave her courage to push forward. Folks, the Sciolaro family are great patriots – passionate in their love for America and their commitment to save her. They ARE the tea party.


Newt Gingrich signs dominated at our Jacksonville, Fl rally.


So, that is it for now. I am on the bus headed to Winter Park, FL for our second of three rallies today. No time to stop for lunch – guess I will microwave a hot pocket; not a big fan of hot pockets.


Tea Party Still Alive & Well.


4063441190?profile=originalHi Folks. Lloyd Marcus reporting in from the road with Tea Party Express. At our Winter Park, FL Tea Party Express bus tour rally, I met patriot Peggy Spencer. Peggy volunteers for Americans For Prosperity. She told me that our rally was her third tea party event this week. Peggy said the media would love to say the tea party is over, but it is not. She and her fellow patriots are very busy working for change behind the scenes.


My observation of the state of the Tea Party aligns with Peggy. As a movement, we have matured beyond being the naïve fearful-for-our-country babes we were two years ago. Tea partiers are first time candidates, authors, strategists, educators, film makers and more – each following their gifts, talents and passion to take back America.


While our Jacksonville rally was dominated by Gingrich signs, Santorum signs ruled this rally.


Liberty Counsel founder, Matt Staver gave the welcoming address at the Winter Park rally. Staver stressed the importance of making a “change” in the White House in November.


Attorney, teacher, author and speaker KrisAnne Hall joined the tour as a speaker at our Winter Park rally. KrisAnne was fired from her position as Florida Assistant State Attorney for speaking at a local Tea Party rally. KrisAnne is fired up and committed more than ever to the tea party. Our movement is alive and well.


This just in. This is a first. Attempting to leave Winter Park headed to our rally in West Palm Beach, the driver rear tires of our bus succumbed to a small Florida sink hole. We're stuck! We are waiting for a tow truck.

Gingrich Announces Cain Endorsement at Tea Party Express Rally.


Newt Gingrich announced at our West Palm Beach Tea Party Express rally that Herman Cain has endorsed him. The audience, mostly Gingrich supporters, were excited.


This was the first day of our four day Tea Party Express tour of Florida. We begin with a rally in Jacksonville, then Winter Park; Gingrich spoke at our third rally of the day in West Palm beach. On every tour, I enjoy meeting new patriots and hugging old brother and sister patriots at the rallies.


We have TV and WiFi on the tour bus. Today, while traveling on the bus, I responded to a hand full of negative emails. These doom and gloom people basically said both political parties are corrupt and I am an idiot for thinking the efforts of our Tea Party team will make a difference.


To them, I say, so what should we do? Should we park the Tea Party Express tour bus and go home? Do we simply surrender the country to Obama?


Well, I say NOT on my watch. Yes, both parties have negative issues. But, what part of four more years of Barack Hussein Obama will end America as we know it do you not understand? The stakes are far too high to stay home election day because both parties suck or because your candidate did not win the Republican nomination.


If my favorite candidate does not win the Republican nomination, I love my country far too much to have a temper tandem, stopping working to defeat Obama and stay home election day. Obama MUST be stopped. Obamacare MUST be repealed. If not, it is checkmate – the socialism, Marxist and Progressives will have won. Freedom, for which many have made the ultimate sacrifice, will be over. Government will have complete control of our lives. Good Lord people, THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER ELECTION!


How could anyone who claims to love this country allow it to be destroyed simply because they did not “get their way” or they felt uncomfortable voting for an imperfect candidate?


This is MY country. I love her, warts and all. I will NOT stand by and allow her to be overrun by this evil administration. As God continues to give me grace, I will fight to defend and save her against all enemies foreign and domestic.


May God bless my nationwide tea party family. And may God bless Tea Party Express!

Pelosi Loves her Cushy Seat!

4063439845?profile=original

Nancy Pelosi usually does her dirty work behind closed doors, but the DEMS are not exactly in a comfort zone with their Commander in Chief and their greatest fear is Newt Gingrich. So good old Nancy erupts once again in a frantic attempt to derail Newt Gingrich. Nancy like Obama just can’t get enough of National TV and here are her latest comments about Newt.

Pelosi With Conviction, mouth puckered up like a prune and watery tearful eyes said, “Newt Gingrich will not be president" She Knows something! Nice try Nancy – I heard Newt respond to her threats this morning saying, “If she knows something, I have a simple challenge: Spit it out,” Gingrich said Wednesday on NBC's "Today" show.

Let’s check out Newt Gingrich, in fact let’s get the real stuff out in the open so everyone not only has an opinion, they have correct information.

Many moons ago in 1996 and 1997 House Speaker Newt Gingrich was charged by congressional Democrats of using a college course he taught to help him in his political activities. The allegations resulted in many stories on Dan Rather's CBS Evening News; but when Gingrich was cleared of all charges by the IRS, Dan Rather did not report on it.

The Democrats and many Republicans from the old establishment continued their attack on the Speaker of the House (Newt Gingrich) even after the first coup fell apart at the seams. They feared and still fear Gingrich more than the plague because once again he will take down their comfy house of cards, one card at a time.

They trumped up a total of 84 charges against the Speaker of the House only to find that 83 charges were false. The last charge, the 84th was tossed out the window by the IRS who was asked to investigate Gingrich on a tax fraud. The IRS found no violation and vindicated Newt Gingrich. Do your homework – find out the truth in the link provided below.

[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 145 (1999), Part 5]
[House]

In other words, the ethics charges David Bonior filed against Newt were all bogus. Every single charge was merely an attempt to derail the Speaker. If Newt Gingrich made any mistakes it was agreeing to pay 300,000 which basically paid for a 3 ½ year investigation by the Ethics Committee and voluntarily stepping down as House Speaker. .

The irony of this story that never seems to make headlines is this was about a college class that Newt taught on television about “Renewing American Civilization.' Here you will be able to read about each class Newt presented to colleges.

http://terrenceberres.com/ginren00.html

If you take time to read each college session offered, you will see that Newt Gingrich is truly a Patriot who loves his Country and fellow Americans. Newt Gingrich believes in a Government of the people, by the people and for the people. The Constitution is his road map and in 2012 he’s fighting to “Take Back Our Country America,” and vows to restore our freedoms and rights as set forth by our forefathers in 1787. Not bad for grandfather who has never given up the fight for his Country and fellow Americans.

Obama and the 2012 Presidential Race

4063425539?profile=original

by little tboca

Here’s a taste of what Americans can expect in the Presidential Race of 2012. Obama has already kicked his class warfare into all of his campaign speeches and will continue this strategy for the next 11 months. He’s pretending that he’s looking out for the “middle class” – what a laugh.

He’s the one who knocked the middle class off their feet in three years; he stopped any and all job growth, he redistributed 787 billion dollars known as the stimulus bill, which should have been called Obama’s “Dissuasion” bill. He backs the Muslim Brotherhood, trashes Israel, supports the Wall Street Protestors and continues hanging out with “America’s Most Wanted,” Marxists, Communists and Socialists.

Our final decision in 2012 will determine the future of our children, grandchildren and future generations. We must be resilient, determined and give them a legacy that they can wrap their arms around with pride.

So the question for 2012 is do we want to vote for the person who can “take our Country back” or will we succumb to the Liberal News Media’s lies and propaganda and give Obama his second term?

There is one man who can restore our Nations weak foundation, give us back our Freedoms, Rights and our voice. We can beat him to death for his mistakes, or we can acknowledge that he is the one person who has learned from his mistakes, asked God’s forgiveness for his indiscretions and give him 100% support.

Newt’s positive positions on economy, taxes, free trade, spending and regulations far outweigh his mistakes. We have the option of going to his website and asking specific questions, if we have any doubts on how he stands on certain issues.

http://www.newt.org/news/letter-supporters-gingrich-urges-them-stay-positive or http://www.newt.org/meet-newt

There wouldn’t be a Republican majority in the house today without the Republican Revolution led by Newt Gingrich in 1994. Newt is the reason and the only reason that the GOP took over the house for the first time in forty years.

Newt Gingrich made mistakes, but the difference between him and so many of the Old Establishment Politicians is this; Newt actually revisited his errors while serving in the House of Representatives analyzing and correcting his mistakes in order to become the committed leader that he is today.

Two Quotes that come to mind about making mistakes:

There are no mistakes, no coincidences. All events are blessings given to us to learn from. -Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistakes.” Winston Churchill

Everyone has the right to decide who the next 2012 Presidential Candidate will be and pick the man or woman of his choice. We must be strong and arm ourselves against the lies, propaganda and political rhetoric and that can only be done by doing our homework.
If we want to sit on our butts and let Obama and the Liberal News Media spoon feed us lies about Obama’s ideology, we’ll face defeat due to our own complacency, negligence and ignorance.

If I can remember right several T. Party groups were funded by Freedom Works which could mean they owe the 'Big Dogs" a few favors.  Will Newt and Dick call in their seed capital in the form of endorsements?

Will we see the 'end game' of the investment into certain Tea Party groups for their supply of donors, supporters and Republican minions?

If we are going to endorse Newt, it should be because either we agree with him or because we MUST defeat Obama, NOT because we MUST return the favor.

I know this. This group TeaParty.org is beholden to no one and is completely self-funded. Furthermore, there are a few other groups out there that are self funded.

But who has been funded by Newt Gingrich & Dick Army's Freedom Works?  Those are the ones we must carefully watch.

....and then again, maybe I'm just a paranoid, right-wing conspirator.

What the hell do you think? Are we a bunch of wackos or will there be favors paid back by Tea Party endorsements?

4063417641?profile=originalThe criteria embraced by the liberal media, Democrats and some conservatives for selecting the 2012 Republican presidential nominee is quite clear. Imperfect conservatives need not apply. Conservative presidential candidates must have been born yesterday; not having lived long enough to break any of the Ten Commandments, make a mistake, say or do anything stupid.

However, in their short time on the planet, our conservative candidate along with possessing a “perfect past”, must display a masterful expertise of all topics foreign and domestic. Anything less means our conservative guy or gal is an incompetent idiot.

Then, there is the Reelect Obama Liberal Media/Democrat multi-headed dragon which is committed not only to simply defeating our conservative candidate, but beheading him or her and hanging their bloody dead carcass in the public square to discourage all future challengers of Liberalism. Our candidate is expected to flawlessly and masterfully battle this beast, winning every skirmish, lest we chorus that they are not quite presidential material.

Conservative presidential candidates unwilling to wear an “I heart Chaz” t-shirt are homophobic and vehement haters of homosexuals. Conservative candidates not having at least one Kanye West song in their iPod are white supremest redneck Tea Party racists. Black conservative Republican candidates are obviously self-loathing traitors to their race suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.

Meanwhile, the requirements for the Democratic presidential candidate are a bit less demanding. The liberal media's and the Democrats' candidate can hangout with self-proclaimed America haters. Their candidate can say America has 57 states and mispronounce corpsman as “corpse-man” and still be considered a genius. He can travel the world bowing to foreign leaders and apologizing for America. He can wreck America's economy, hostilely takeover a private auto company, cram government-controlled healthcare down our throats, bully banks and funnel money to his supporters via government bailouts. A New York Times article reported that the Time's candidate has abandoned pursuing the white working class vote to target entitlement-minded, loser Occupy voters without anyone raising an eyebrow.

Liberal media and Democrats do not give a rat's rear end about the character of their candidates as long as those candidates further Liberalism.

Conservative candidates are expected to have lived flawless lives without leeway to repent, learn and grow.

Peter in the Bible was a cruel tax collector who cowardly betrayed Jesus. And yet, speaking about Peter, Jesus said, “Upon this rock I will build my church.” St. Peter repented, developed and grew into a courageous Christian ultimately dying for his faith. If running for office today as a conservative, Peter's former cruelty and cowardly beginnings would end any hope of him being elected; too much stuff in his past.

Moses began as a murderer. And this religious guy Moses wants to lead his people to the Promised Land. The liberal media would say, “Forget about it; too much stuff in your past!”

Conservative presidential candidate Herman Cain is a gifted businessman of character; never been arrested, saved and created jobs and touched many lives in a positive way. However, some conservatives and the media say Cain is a little weak on foreign policy and has too much stuff in his past.

Conservative presidential candidate Newt Gingrich is really smart. Actually, Newt is brilliant with great ideas to reverse the devastatingly destructive results of liberalism. Newt would eat Obama's lunch in a debate. However, Newt does have his share of self admitted poor judgment calls. Thus, some conservatives and the media say Newt has too much stuff in his past.

Conservative presidential candidate Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has a great record in Minnesota. She and her husband adopted a ga-zillion kids which speaks to her great character. As with all conservative women, left-wing feminists despise Bachmann. If the feminists were true to their supposed mission, Bachmann would be their poster girl; a strong woman successful in and outside of the home. Instead, for reasons I do not understand, an NBC program introduced Bachmann by playing a song about a “lyin' a-- b----!” Bachmann has been attacked for comments she has made expressing her Christian faith. Some conservatives and the media say there is too much stuff in her past.

Conservative presidential candidate Gov. Rick Perry has been super in Texas. Some conservatives and the media say Perry is not the smoothest guy in the world during TV debates, is weak on immigration and has too much stuff in his past; something about a rock on a property rented by his family for hunting which still bears the “n” word, put there many years earlier. Surely, the Texas governor must be a member of the KKK. Bottom line, too much stuff in Perry's past.

The rest of the Republican field of contenders for the nomination have not yet been targeted by the liberal media. Rest assured, whoever rises to frontrunner status will be attacked and discovered to be racist, sexist, homophobic or stupid. The Republican candidate will be stripped naked and made to suffer the humiliation of “gang allegations” by the liberal media. For example. Upon becoming the frontrunner, Cain was declared an Uncle Tom, stupid and a serial sexist by the liberal media (as the knockout punch) by the liberal media.

We conservatives hold our candidates to a high standard. And for that, I make no apology and proudly name myself among you. Still, I believe any of our flawed conservative candidates are far superior to Obama in terms of their qualifications, core values and love for America. So I will not toss every frontrunner into the unelectable trash can whenever the liberal media dictates.

But obviously, some conservatives believe all of our conservative candidates are too flawed with too much stuff in their past to enthusiastically embrace as our Republican nominee. So, let's just settle for the “articulate and clean” RINO Romney, watch him go down in humiliating defeat and buckle our seat belts for four more years of Barack Hussein Obama.

For the last three months the two strongest and most consistent Republican candidate debate performances have come from businessman Herman Cain and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Rajjpuut’s preferred G.O.P. ticket is Cain-Gingrich. The current surge in Cain’s popularity shows that Republican voters as a whole are starting to honor TEA Party principles and repudiate the G.O.P.’s former ugly movement toward bigger, more irresponsible government during the G.W. Bush years. Rajjpuut suggests that Herman Cain needs to outline a "platform" and begin to accentuate his ties to the TEA Party’s Contract from America and to educate American voters upon that document’s principles.  To that end  . . . .
 
Rajjpuut’s Suggested Herman Cain
“Contract with America’s Voters”
 
Preamble: 
 
Government is growing too fast, too much, too expensively, too expansively, and too destructively . . . crowding out cherished economic freedoms. This great country will never fulfill its long-run potential to prosper, create jobs and lead the world unless constitutional limits to government are restored. America’s greatness, exceptionalism and historical allure to the oppressed people of Planet Earth is tied to three founding documents the Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence, and the United States Constitution (and most importantly: within the American Constitution the first ten Amendments known as the Bill of Rights). A Herman Cain presidency will return to these documents as the inspiration and playbook for America’s return to greatness and exceptionalism emphasizing Individual Liberty, Limited Government and Economic Freedom.
While critics of recent Constitutionalist movements (such as the TEA Party) have called these fine Americans “racists,” “haters,” “Nazis,”  “devils” and other slurs without any actual evidence to back up their words, these well-behaved and thoughtful citizens have created a 10-point Contract from America which a Herman Cain presidency would be based upon. The first ten of the eleven main principles “PLANKS” of my presidency are based upon the TEA Party Contract from America.
 
#1 Protect the Constitution:
by requiring each bill to identify the specific provision of the Constitution that gives Congress the power to do what the bill does.
 
#2 Reject Cap and Trade and all overstepping by the EPA destroying businesses, jobs and incentives: 
by stopping all costly new regulations and repealing old regulations that have increased unemployment, raised consumer prices, and weakened the nation’s global competitiveness with virtually no impact on global temperatures; and institute a sensible American energy independence policy.
 
#3 Pass a Balanced Budget and Citizen Tax Freedom
 
 Amendment:
 
requiring a balanced budget and a pay-down of the debt and funding of heretofore UNFUNDED liabilities. To preserve balanced budgets for posterity require a 2/3 majority in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate to pass tax increases or to run a temporary deficit;  but only a simple majority in both chambers to reduce or eliminate taxes; or to eliminate a temporary deficit or to pay-down or eliminate national debt.
 
 
#4 Enact Fundamental Tax Reform:
 
by scrapping 100% of the present tax code and replacing it with a 0-0-9-9-9 tax plan. The 0-0-9-9-9 tax plan means that after the first $20,000 of personal income which is NOT taxed (0%); and all inheritance which is also not taxed (0%). . . institute a 9% personal income tax; a 9% corporate tax; and a 9% capital gains tax. To preserve tax freedom for posterity require a 2/3 majority in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate to pass tax increases but only a simple majority in both chambers to reduce or eliminate taxes.
 
#5 Restore Fiscal Responsibility & Constitutionally-
 
Limited Government in Washington, D.C.:
 
by creating a Blue Ribbon taskforce that engages in a complete audit of federal agencies and programs, assessing their Constitutionality, and identifying FRAUD, MALFEASANCE, duplication, waste, ineffectiveness, and agencies and programs better left for the states or local authorities, or ripe for wholesale reform or elimination due to our efforts to restore limited government consistent with the US Constitution’s meaning.
 
#6 End Runaway Government Spending and eliminate
 
federal government-caused-inflation:
 
by pegging the price of Gold in America at $4,000 per ounce and imposing a statutory cap limiting the annual growth in total federal spending to the sum of  1/2 the rate of inflation until the budget is balanced all national debt is eliminated and all now UNFUNDED liabilities are paid for. Once our fiscal house is in complete order, federal spending can be raised by the yearly percent of population growth added to 1/2 the rate of inflation. (Note: by limiting federal budget increases to ½ the rate of inflation, lawmakers will mainly be hurting their ability to spend and not the populace by inflating the currency.)
#7 Defund, Repeal, & Replace Government-run Health
 
Care and the Dodd-Frank Financial Act:
 
Repeal the Dodd-Frank Financial Act. Defund, repeal and replace the recently passed government-run health care with a system that actually makes health care and insurance more affordable by enacting national tort reform and enabling a competitive, open, and transparent free-market health care and health insurance system that isn’t restricted by state boundaries.
 
#8 Pass an ‘All-of-the-Above” Energy Policy:
 
by authorizing exploration of proven energy reserves to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources from unstable countries and reduce regulatory barriers to all other forms of energy creation, lowering prices and creating competition and jobs.   Add a 1% tax upon all profits from energy resources which will be set aside for funding green-energy innovation. All green energy innovation grants will be under control of a blue-ribbon committee of responsible scientists and not bureaucrats. Remove the most burdensome of taxes upon; and 100% of subsidies to all energy businesses.
#9 Stop the Pork:
 
by asking my party to eliminate all earmarks until our nation’s fiscal house is 100% in order; by vetoing ANY bill which contains earmarks placed before me; and then passing a bill into law requiring a ¾ majority in both the Senate and House to pass any bill with earmarks for the future.
#10 Minimize Taxes:
 
because a revolt against uncontrolled government, uncontrolled spending and irresponsible attacks upon economic freedom has taken place since 1989.  No intelligent person NOW trusts Washington and its bureaucracy to be good and responsible stewards of our money who put we citizens, voters and taxpayers first . . . a strong emphasis on constitutional limits and restraints on legislation, spending, taxing government interference and government control of the economy must replace business as usual in the Nation’s Capitol.  We must restore and advance the Constitutional-restraint of government championed by Ronald Reagan who ended a debilitating recession and created 20 million jobs.
 
#11 Re-think and Refine our Foreign Policy:
because America has lost power and prestige around the world in recent times; because Defense and Foreign Aid are such drags upon our nation’s economy; because their appears to be no integrity to recent American actions around the globe . . . we must identify our enemies; identify our friends and allies; strengthen the economic and other bonds with friends; eliminate all foreign aid that is NOT in our national interest and create a new and coherent 21st Century military and foreign policy.
 
Ya’ll live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut

Media Manipulation of the next GOP candidates

This is a post I copied from Facebook. It's something that has always irked me but something I haven't seen mentioned much before and never with actual numbers. The author said it was okay to repost this:

It's enough to make me spit nails. There is a better way."

 

This gentleman is absolutely right and we can't let the media lead us like this. I've thought this ever since Perry entered the race as the hands-down favorite when most of America had no idea what his stance was on anything.

               “Besides the ignorant things he said, however, Gingrich suggested that the G.O.P. symbol might be an elephant riding on a magic carpet which (if you look closer) proves to be a paycheck; while the Democrat’s symbol would be a Donkey living in a food stamp book teepee.  Gingrich also said that it was wrong for Republicans to talk about cutting Medicare since it left them open to being demagogued for the next decade and Medicare had only increased 14% under Obama while the federal side of Medicaid had risen 54% and food stamp costs had risen 60% under Obama, then he cited a food stamp increase from 33 million to 47 million Americans now on food stamp rolls an amazing 39.4% jump” in just two years.

 

 

Trump, Huckabee Drop-outs and Ex-Speaker’s

Implosion Puts Romney in Catbird Seat

For 2012 G.O.P. Presidential Nomination

 

 

               In a dramatic turn of events, the last three days marked climactic upheaval in the ranks of the Republican presidential candidates to replace Barack Obama in the Oval Office starting January, 2013.

               ITEM:  Mike Huckabee cited “spiritual reasons” for deciding NOT to contest the 2012 primary waters in an announcement made at the end of his Huckabee show on FOXNews channel Saturday.  With no effort at all, Huckabee was #2 in the polls among all candidates.  This is a huge game-changer among Republican and many other conservative voters.

               ITEM:  Pressured by his television network, NBC, Donald Trump announced today that he would NOT be running for president either.  Trump said “Business is my greatest passion and I’m not ready to leave the private sector.”  He also cited all the money that his hit show “Celebrity Apprentice” had been making for charity as a reason NOT to run.  Most pundits do NOT believe the Trump announcement changes much in the battle for 2012.  Most conservatives believed “The Donald” was moderate or even liberal; and had very little to offer conservative voters.  Especially after his recent foul-mouthed tirade, he’d lost a lot of his standing as a potential “statesman.”

               ITEM:  Only short days after announcing his decision to be a candidate for 2012 -- saying the election was the most important in America since Abraham Lincoln’s election in 1860 -- Newt Gingrich seemingly committed political suicide and greatly muddied the waters of the debate on Capitol Hill over raising the national debt ceiling and the Ryan Budget.  Gingrich (imitating Joe Biden??) offered not one but two terrific gaffes:

1)      He appeared to say that Obamacare was not so bad and that he personally supported something like it.

2)    He criticized Paul Ryan’s budget.  The Ryan budget which passed in the House with 238 Republican votes, Gingrich said was “radical.”  He continued, “I don’t support social-engineering from the right anymore than I support social-engineering from the left. 

               Unless Gingrich’s ploy will be to run as a Democrat and contest Obama in the primaries, his candidacy can no longer be regarded as valid.

 

               At this early stage these three key recent developments seem to put Mitt Romney in the driver’s seat.  He’ll presumably emerge with somewhere between 30-35% of the G.O.P. vote in upcoming polls.  He could have a lead of 2 ½ to 1 over his next closest rival presumably Gingrich (who had 15-16% in recent polls but hurt himself recently.  Rajjpuut believes that Mitch Daniels, Indiana Governor; Michelle Bachmann, Minnesota Representative; and businessman Herman Cain would benefit even more than Romney will from the three news items mentioned above.  The big winner, however, might just be the TEA Party.  Let’s look a bit closer at Romney and Gingrich and the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party . . . .

               Discussing Romney, DickMorris.com put it this way, “Romney was having a terrible week.  His speech on health care was terrible.  With Massachusetts up in arms over Romney-care and Republicans dead set against the individual and employer mandate, his failure to repudiate his program would have cost him dearly.  But now he is sitting on top of the world.”  Much truth there but perhaps a bit too rosy a picture painted for Romney . . . .

               Morris later made a personal appearance on the Hannity show on FOXNews and opined that Gingrich had not actually hurt himself, but rather that people just got the out of context version from the mainstream media.  NOT HARDLY, Richard!  However, in Gingrich’s favor these things must be said.

               Besides the ignorant things he mentioned, Gingrich suggested that the G.O.P. symbol might be an elephant riding on a magic carpet which (if you look closer) proves to be a paycheck; while the Democrat’s symbol would be a Donkey living in a food stamp book teepee.  Gingrich also said that it was wrong for Republicans to talk about cutting Medicare since it left them open to being demagogued for the next decade and Medicare had only increased 14% under Obama while the federal side of Medicaid had risen 54% and food stamp costs had risen 60% under Obama.  Then he cited a food stamp increase from 33 million to 47 million Americans now on food stamp rolls an amazing 39.4% jump in 28 months.

               Michelle Bachmann, Morris told Hannity, would benefit because she might get a lot of the social-conservatives favoring Huckabee.  Since Bachmann is a TEA Party favorite and the emphasis of the TEAs is on fiscal- and Constitutional-conservativism, that does not compute . . . . Rick Santorum and possibly Sarah Palin would be more likely to gain in Rajjpuut’s not-so-humble opinion, with Bachmann and Herman Cain getting some lift as well.

               Morris said that “for Daniels, the withdrawal of Trump opens the way for him to become the main establishment business community rival to Romney.  And Huckabee's withdrawal opens the door for conservatives to support him as well.”  Morris thought that both Daniels and Bachmann needed to enter the race very soon.  Pawlenty, already in the tussle, was another one who Morris said would benefit greatly . . . but he left no doubt that in his view Romney might right now be the presumptive nominee.  Rajjpuut believes there’s a huge long way to New Hampshire not to mention the Oval Office and he doubts that Romney will get 30% of the Republican vote in Iowa or 25% in South Carolina.  Besides, who knows . . .  Chris Christy might just wind up running.

 

               Mitt Romney is the unquestioned early leader, that’s obvious.  But, the millstone of the Romneycare program in Massachusetts hangs heavy upon him.  His biggest worry has to be the TEA Party.  Romney has already pleaded with some TEA Party leaders for the TEAs NOT to run a third party candidate in 2012; some TEA Party folk recently took the opportunity after Romney’s weak Romneycare speech to call him “a walking hypocrite.” Surely  1) Michelle Bachmann, 2) Herman Cain, 3) Mitch Daniels and 4) Tim Pawlenty (after the three shake-ups this weekend) have to be considered far more compatible with the TEAs than Mitt Romney who is at best a moderate Republican and may because of his failure to repudiate Romneycare be looked upon by some as progressive (like Obama).  We’ve a long hot summer ahead of us . . . if one of these four separates himself or herself from the pack, Romney may be in jeopardy . . . then there’s the specter of a locked convention choosing Chris Christy as everyone’s favorite dark horse . . . we do live in exciting times.

 

Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,

Rajjpuut

WILL THE REAL NEWT GINGRICH PLEASE STAND UP?

Here we go again. Newt Gingrich? Too many choices for the Republican ticket, and too many old and worn out ones at that, with not enough declared new faces. RINO Romney, who endorsed Mary Bono Mack, who voted FOR Cap & Trade, or Huckabee, who is more concerned with "governing" than standing on principle, and pardons criminals who go back to a life of crime -- one killing four police officers. That being said, I'm old enough to remember the waffling of Newt Gingrich on core issues. Not as bad as The Chosen One, but bad enough.

WILL THE REAL NEWT GINGRICH PLEASE STAND UP?

Mr. Gingrich struts around like he's Thomas Jefferson....  http://bit.ly/fLNU1G

Beware of the scorned ex-wife. Newt Gingrich's ex-wife (Marianne) is making all sorts of reckless claims in an effort to derail Newt's 2012 White House aspirations. This is another liberal media sponsored pack of
lies.

Newt represents all that is good about America and what is good about the Tea
Party. He's a true American and would go to great lengths to purify America.
Marianne's shameful claims are likely motivated by a liberal media paper trail.


Marianne's shameful allegations against Newt include:


Newt proposed to Marianne (she was 28, he 36) in 1980 while his first wife, Jackie, was in the hospital recovering from treatments for uterine cancer. He hadn't yet even asked her for a divorce.
Newt met Jackie in high school. She was his geometry teacher. He was sixteen,
she was 25. When he left, Jackie was nearly destitute. Jackie had to get
a court order just to pay her utility bills.



---- AND ---



Callista Bisek, Gingrich's current wife, became his mistress first and his wife second (really third, if one is counting wives), while Marianne was home visiting her mother. In 1999, Marianne
had just been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Newt asked Callista to marry
him before he and Marianne had agreed to divorce. The affair had been going on
for years. Newt compared Marianne to a "Jaguar" and Callista to a
"Chevrolet" and said he needed a Chevrolet, not a Jaguar.



THESE ARE FLAT OUT LIES!!
