Newt Gingrich considers White House bid.

Whoa!

I'll be darned. After a couple hours of research, it appears that although Mr. Gingrich voted for the crime bill originally, which sent it to the Senate for the first time, he voted *against* its final passage, in the form of of "Conference report agreed to in House: On agreeing to the conference report - Agreed to by recorded vote."

LUCKY HE'S NOT A DEMOCRAT! When a democrat does that, it is officially termed a "FLIP-FLOP". When a republican does it, we know it was simply an intelligent reconsideration and re-evaluation of the relevant facts of the situation, leading to a change in policy structure.

RIGHT? :barf:

Good luck with that one. You are dealing with minds so closed you will need tactical nuclear weapons to penetrate them.
 
Before you vote for Newt, some food for thought:

Reposted from GT forum:

My Last Words on Newt

Since you seemed determined to stroke Newt's image, I will simply add these words on the upcoming champion and leader of the party which paints itself as the defender of the bible and all things related to good old American family values:

Here is a definitive statement from one Man whose opinions on such matters are generally acknowledged to be valid:

Matthew 5:32

But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.


So Mr Newt not only frequently commits adultery, he also lives his life in adultery, according to the Man he claims to worship (literally). Can you spell H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E?


So tell me, can you recognize the excuse below and remember who the GOP was bashing for using it? Sure is embarrassing for the GOP to have to admit that one of their liars invented it!

http://archive.salon.com/news/1998/08/28news.html

For one thing, Gingrich pioneered a denial of adultery that some observers would later christen "the Newt Defense": Oral sex doesn't count. In a revealing psychological portrait of the "inner" Gingrich that appeared in Vanity Fair (September 1995), Gail Sheehy uncovered a woman, Anne Manning, who had an affair in Washington in 1977 with a married Gingrich.

"We had oral sex," Manning revealed. "He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, 'I never slept with her.'" She added that Gingrich threatened her: "If you ever tell anybody about this, I'll say you're lying."

Newt's oral sex denial proved embarrassing at a time when he was the secular leader of the "family values" crowd, appearing frequently at Christian Coalition gatherings.





More of his shining example of Christian living:





The most notorious incident in Gingrich's marriage -- first reported by David Osborne in Mother Jones magazine in 1984 -- was when he cornered Jackie in her hospital room where she was recovering from uterine cancer surgery and insisted on discussing the terms of the divorce he was seeking.

Shortly after that infamous encounter, Gingrich refused to pay his alimony and child-support payments. The First Baptist Church in his hometown had to take up a collection to support the family Gingrich had deserted.

Six months after divorcing Jackie, Gingrich married a younger woman, Marianne, with whom he had been having an affair. They are still married, despite persistent (though unproven) rumors that Gingrich has had other dalliances.




You want to vote for this sack of s--t? Go ahead. It just re-inforces what I already know about the GOP: when it comes to walking the walk about living right, they are all hat and no cattle. And they seem to have no problem developing an instant case of amnesia when it comes to pardoning one of their own for the sins they scream about in others.

Somewhere, Christ hurls chunks every time one of these POS call themselves a Christian.

End of what I have to say on the subject of Newt Gingrich.
 
Go back to the netherworld that is 'democratic underground'. You offer nothing of substance here and your posts are illustrative of the definition of trolling. Enough, already.

Here's the deal. The 'strings' are being pulled by a nameless, faceless consortium of international financial barons who are manipulating our media, political system, and social consciousness in preparation for their eventual takeover. Slowly, but surely, they are whittling away our rights as citizens by their control of our economy and of both of the major political parties and their leaders. This erosion of rights has been accelerated by the 'attack' on 9/11...(condoned and enabled by the powers that be) which gave the excuse to curtail freedoms for the sake of 'safety and order' and a pretext to invade a soveriegn nation, subjugate their citizens and steal their petroleum wealth. The beauty part of this theory is that if the 'takeover' of our government does come about (as if), then they can say 'I told you so'. If it doesn't happen, they can always say that the manipulators are biding their time.

And there's not a damned thing that we can do about it!!
The crucial part of their theory is that most Americans are too lazy and stupid to realize that this is all happening and too complacent to do anything about it if they come to that realization. Their elected reps. won't help cause they've all been bought off and the govt. is planning the wholesale confiscation of firearms to limit violent resistance by pockets of 'radicals, lunatics and domestic terrorists'.

Their 'proof' is best described as a collection of half baked ideas, quotes, ideas, theories, rants and incidents that are otherwise unrelated; but in their world they are stitched together in a seamless shroud of sinister conjunction. It's as if I witnessed an auto accident at sunset and theorized that the unfortunate collision of car and object caused the sun to go down.
Apparently, the first sign of the takeover is a Constitutional Amendment to be proposed and ratified within the space of the next three years changing the qualifications for president...such that naturalized citizens (read Arnold Schwartzenegger) can run and be elected. I think I'll wait for the movie.

gburner, you wonder why that feeling exists when your post is pretty much the personification of why it does. When so many people are so willing to go lock in step with the establishment controlled politics, this truly is the land of the free and the home of the slaves. The first thing you can do about it is stop denying reality. Education is the key. Break people out of their pre-programmed left/right jello mold. End the "my party is in power so I think put my brain to sleep" syndrome. Your attitude is one of complacency by going along with the system. Going along with the incremental trends of our ever expanding criminal government. These trends have been going on for a long time, but they've been accelerated over the past 15 odd years.

The flavor of the month is that everyone who disagrees with international banking dynasties having complete control over our money system and two corporate parties are disloyal subversive leftist evil communists. And then as soon as a democrat is in office, everyone of that pursuasion is a right wing kook. But go ahead, keep deluding yourself with establishment brain numbing non-sense. And remember, exporting jobs is GOOD. And open borders is GOOD. And torture is GOOD. National I.D. cards??? GOOD! Weak dollar? GOOD!!!

No - not really - - - but I'm not going to believe one single thing Salon or Mother Jones prints either.

Did you use your powers of ESP to come to the mistaken realization that I believe in and support all of those things that you laid at my feet; did you ass-ume that I represent them or are you just guessing? Funny how you're willing to speak of me in those terms and you don't really know a thing about me.

Did you ever stop to consider that a person could have an honest, intellegent opinion or point of view that is divergent from yours and not be, A. a dupe of your alleged vast international conspiracy, B. a sheep that blindly follows the propaganda that is 'spewed' by our media and their masters in the 'criminal government'? Is your world truly that black and white; that cut and dried. Is there no open room in your world or this debate for freedom of thought, is there no tolerance for exchange of ideas? You're not that threatened by challenges to your theories are you? Sounds like it's you that wants folks to fall into lock step with your world view. Anyone who doesn't is deceived, demented or dumb. The most basic human right is freedom of thought. Folks who would attempt to squash that right are no better than the the 'boogie men' that you think are plotting our demise.

The theory that you espouse is bankrupt and the future 'reality' that you are suggesting strains credulity. It is a tired theory that has made the rounds for centuries and rears it's ugly head from time to time, stirring up the masses, exaggerating class differences, excusing disorder, violence and even genocide. We have strayed far from the Constitution and I have stated before that the solution will not be found in the current 2-party political structure of this country. But we are not ripe for, nor are we headed for a takeover as you describe it.

The 'Arnold' thing is just stupid, a statistical, political and sociological non starter; ain't gonna happen.
 
A bankwupt theewy? That's a new one on me. The Bank of International Settlements isn't bankrupt; but then that is called "Fwee Twade" - and should not of course be mistaken for a monopoly. ;)
 
Conspiracy? Conspiracy??? Ancient Aliens...Bigfoot...the Lochness Monster...Atlantis...Mutant Zombies....all the same to me! Sounds like a bunch of commie pinko hippie crap! I gotta go liberal tree hugger... Rush Limbaugh is on!
 
LAK...talking like Elmer Fudd doesn't help anyone take you seriously. Do you talk like that to the people you've met in your 'world travels' who dsagree with you? Chances are, not... as they would think you a buffoon or a lunatic. Do you want an exchange of ideas/opinions or not?
P'sword...
Are you uncomfortable answering the questions that I asked of you?
j'medic...
Pay attention, please...the WMD were trucked to Syria after a 'heads up' to Sadaam by Russia just before the war. They remain in the Bekka Valley under Syrian control in Lebanon. The reports of the WMD teams leaving Iraq last week were 'spun' by the media to reinforce their premise that there never were any WMD, not that the WMD had been moved prior to the invasion.
Please recall the aborted attempt to release a chem. weapons cloud over Amman, Jordan last year. Those goodies didn't just appear out of nowhere, did they?

Sounds like a wild conspiracy theory to me. You been talking to them aliens in the backyard again son??























Sorry, couldn't resist. :D

What questions, it all sounded rhetorical to me.
 
Honestly, it makes sense. They'll miraculously find some chemical weapons bunkers in Syria (probably made up of stuff Rumsfield gave Saddam in the 80's) and then Lord Bush will be "vindicated" by the mainstream liberal :rolleyes: press. Then the banksters with the help of King George will continue down the hit list unabated. Syria, Iran, North Korea, ect...

btw gburner, can you tell me where on Debka you read that? ;)

Hmmm.....Cuz I was just on whitehouse.gov, and they certainly didn't seem to refute anything the press has been saying:

Q The President accepts that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, he said back in October that the comprehensive report by Charles Duelfer concluded what his predecessor had said, as well, that the weapons that we all believed were there, based on the intelligence, were not there. And now what is important is that we need to go back and look at what was wrong with much of the intelligence that we accumulated over a 12-year period and that our allies had accumulated over that same period of time, and correct any flaws.
Click to expand...

Q Two follow-ups. There's been quite a bit of talk that Syria might have hidden some of these weapons of mass destruction. Is the government of Syria cooperating at all in the search for WMD?

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, you have the report from Charles Duelfer. You can go and look at that report in terms of addressing those issues, and I think the President has spoken to the whole issue of weapons of mass destruction. Obviously, if there are any other reports that come to people's attention, they'll follow up on those reports.

Now, I don't have access (that I know of) to this "report" that Scott McClellan keeps referring to, but I'd think that if the Bush administration believed that there were WMD's yet to be found, or that Syria was involved, this press briefing would be the place to mention it.
