aaaaand Newt goes into paranoia ---he was too "dangerous" so the media took him down
Gingrich Blames Campaign Implosion On Media: I Was The Most ‘Dangerous’ Candidate

On conservative radio host Neil Boortz’ show this morning, presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich concocted an almost endearingly farcical explanation for his campaign’s latest woes, saying the media targeted him because he was best-positioned to beat President Obama. The media desperately wants to reelect President Obama, Gingirich said, and thus he was their “worst nightmare.” “I didn’t think they would realize this early just how dangerous this campaign is and go after it so hard,” he said. (ThinkProgress will update with audio if it becomes available).

1. Has anyone ever read John Dean's description of this pig, Gingrich?
Get the book, Conservatives Without a Conscience. You'll enjoy reading what Repuke pigs are really like. It gives you their background, what they're really like with Democrats AND Republicans, and explain quite well the reason for the title of the book.

3. Haven't these rethuglicons ever heard of personal responsibility?
Why are their miserable whining failures always caused by some one else?

26. they have no sense of personal responsibility
To the contrary, they are always correct, because they are conservative. And they are conservative because they are always correct.
Liberals are a pimple on humanity, we suck the energy and blood out of humanity. Our empathy and willingness to discuss and debate are weaknesses to be exploited, not assets to be employed. We waste time and effort on pointless and counterproductive ideas like health care access for all, security for the disabled and elderly, housing for all, jobs for veterans, road safety, food and drug safety and testing, environmental protections, regulated financial and military-industrial sectors and even sillier things like erasing race and sex discrimination. We insult their god by supporting gay and lesbian rights, whereas they support god's family values. In Newt's case, quite often.

24. Real women like geeks.
I regularly post "geeks" as my FB profile pic with "Smart is Sexy".

And, FYI, real women can be uncomfortable talking to men...geeks or otherwise.

7. Dammit, delusional or not about his specific case, I'm glad
to her someone on the other side acknowledging that the media can and do enact political agendas in their coverage of campaigns.

Think Dean Scream, Swiftboaters, etc. (as obvious, pinpointable examples).

8. Dangerous, ok Newt. This one's for you:
Dangerous, that's why you love it

Well you like to drive fast baby
Slide up right beside me watch the
Broken lines fly
'Cause there's no one who can catch us
Just let anybody give it a try
Can't you hear it baby like thunder I know
Like the magic and the passion of rock 'n' roll

You're a rebel and you know it
And you're not afraid to throw it away

-The Doobie Brothers

10. Rebel another RE in that word.
Edited on Wed Jun-22-11 09:38 PM by RandomThoughts
RE bel? or something else?

What might it be about?



AC/DC - 'Hells Bells' Live (Houston Energy Rollerball Mix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oxHCnSJzMc

21st Division in that song also :) And the North was rebelling against the status quo of slavery in the south. So Rebel requires context and can not be bad in all cases as some think it is.


Brothers in Arms - Dire Straits
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5JkHBC5lDs

Bonnie Raitt - I Can't Make You Love Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW9Cu6GYqxo

Bonnie Raitt - Nick Of Time
http://www.123video.nl/playvideos.asp?MovieID=407128

Dire Straits - Walk of Life
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZxVC0GB838


Constantine - Bring me to life (Evanescence)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dx8d3K_hngw



AC/DC - Thunderstruck
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RukUetw0hAM

I am still Standing.


Side note, after posting that years ago, it was edited to add a picture of someone for some other reason, another attempt to smear by edit. And there are those that know they have edited clips after they were posted.

14. Is he still running?
:rofl:

Or does this mean he's about to officially drop out?

If he wasn't so odious, his exit speech could be kind of amusing.

Do you suppose that maybe this time he'll go away and not come back? I doubt it, but one can always hope.

23. Newt has ALWAYS been crazy.
Newt has never been 'smart'.
Newt has never been a stable personality.
Newt has always been a racist.
Newt has always been a Narcissist.

Newt is just being the same as he was before; people just overlooked his massive flaws.
