DaveinElma Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 And the DC Toms of the world freak out. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/01/06/gingrich-african-american-community-should-demand-paychecks-not-food-stamps/ Gingrich, campaigning Friday in New Hampshire, claimed his remarks were being taken out of context. "I think you would have to be nuts to read those two paragraphs to conclude anything except that I was saying that every young American deserves the right to pursue happiness, every young American deserves the right to get a job," he said. Gingrich said he was trying to say something "positive," by talking about "creating greater opportunities for all Americans." On Thursday, Gingrich told a town hall meeting at a senior center in Plymouth, N.H., that if the NAACP invites him to its annual convention this year, he'd go there and talk about "why the African-American community should demand paychecks and not be satisfied with food stamps."

Gingrich says a lot of things that makes sense and would absolutely kill Obama in a debate that wasn't too restricted. He also thinks so highly of himself that he feels free to make statements that the MSM can distort and make him look foolish (picture DCTom as a politician). I respect Gingrich, but don't like him much. With that said, he would be light years better than Obama. I'm more of a Romney guy because he has actually accomplished something. If my wishes could come to fruition, I'd unfreeze Reagan and make hime president for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My theory is that lefties gush over Huntsman because he has no shot of winning and they can appear more moderate by praising him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the GOP. Yes, we hear it all day, ever day. Thanks for repeating it once again, Eugene. It doesn't take away from the fact that any liberal who feels the need to honestly say "If I were a Republian, this is who I'd run against Obama" always, always, always points to Huntsman. I actually heard BOTH Alan Colmes AND Lanny Davis genuinely recommend him the other night. And it finally dawned on me that the reason liberals want Huntsman to run is so they finally have a reason to not vote for Obama again. Meanwhile, back to describing the GOP. Flies. Dead rats. Back alley trash bins. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repeat. well, the field is weak, the party is irreparably split at this point, will likely be for another 2 years. so really, there is no option but to use this next year as an opportunity to define where the Republicans will be not in November, but in two November's from now. because their inability to mount any semblance of a clear-headed opposition isn't helping the country. jw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
