blzrul Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 story (Try, hard though it may be, to ignore the typo in the title - it's 2008 but those can't be edited.) Now here's a guy who can really talk about family values. I guess this should scare the shorts off the Repigs who insist Hillary's running. Gingrich is someone she could beat. All they'd need to do is run the add of Newtie's chainsmoking mom.

I predict he'll make a political comeback too.

Wacka Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 Why do you dems hate Newt so much? Is it because he tried to cut off gravy train for the dem pet causes? How dare he oppose anything Slick Willie proposed!?

KD in CA Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 Actually for the same reason people dislike politicians in general: he's a big hypocrite. 200672[/snapback] That's it? That's the only reason you don't like him? If they're all hypocrites, why pick on Newt specifically?
blzrul Posted January 10, 2005 Author Posted January 10, 2005 That's it? That's the only reason you don't like him? If they're all hypocrites, why pick on Newt specifically? 200677[/snapback] I pick on them all but to my knowledge he's the first "mainstream" politician to declare an interest in running in 2008 - erego the topic of the thread.
Wacka Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 You dems hated hm from the instant he became Speaker. How dare the republicans gain control of the house for the first time in about 40 years! He came in trying to change things (get rid of the dem gravy train) and you couldn't stomach it. An example: Newt says that we should start thinking different, like maybe giving laptops to all children (he said it was a hypothetical) and all the dem talking heads and lamestream media were yelling"Gingrich wants to give everyone laptops! How will we pay for this? He wants to bankrupt the country!" The whole ethics thing was pure BS.

The whole ethics thing was pure BS. 200963[/snapback] So if John Kerry had made the same statement, your reaction would have been different? By the way, I didn't hear Gingrich's statement, although giving a good education to all children is certainly something I could support. I'm not sure that laptops would do it, but it might be a start. Back when Newtie was in power I wasn't into politics. I really didn't pay too much attention and only learned who he was later on. And even then I didn't care that much - I didn't like Clinton much either. But after hearing of him and then seeing his speeches or reading their transcripts my first, and lasting, impression of Gingrich was that he's a mean-spirited hypocrite. While there are occasionally issues upon which I agree with him, I've seen no reason to change my impression. Unlike what most folks here seem to want to believe, even idiots have good ideas sometimes. That doesn't make them genuises. And Newt Gingrich occasionally doing what I think of as the right thing does not mean I like him. So sorry to bust your bubble. By the way, whatever DID happen to the Contract with America?
boomerjamhead Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 Yeah, Newt would get his ass handed to him.... right. You Dem sympathizers keep on thinking that. Please keep on thinking that.
Guest RabidBillsFanVT Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 Yeah, Newt would get his ass handed to him.... right. You Dem sympathizers keep on thinking that. Please keep on thinking that. 201030[/snapback] He would!! He's a worthless weasel who got shunned by the establishment... why do you think he's not in the national news anymore??
Guest RabidBillsFanVT Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 AWWWWW!! We're picking on NEWT. Such a shame! Not like you guys ever pick on Hillary or any other Dem mercilessly!! Get real! Yeah, the Contract With America... nice plan there, fiscally responsible ones! What's the defecit gonna go up to now, $10 trillion by 2008?!?! :w00t:
Alaska Darin Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 All we are seeing is the balance of power come full circle. The Democrats funded their pet causes and lined the pockets of their supporters. Now the Republicans are doing the same. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The minority party always talks a better game because they rarely have to live up to their rhetoric. Go America!
nobody Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 What was the name of the woman he had an affair with?
UConn James Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 What was the name of the woman he had an affair with? 201648[/snapback] And wasn't he the one who funded the hardcore porn movies?
blzrul Posted January 12, 2005 Author Posted January 12, 2005 And wasn't he the one who funded the hardcore porn movies? 201655[/snapback] Not sure but I do know he served one of his wives with divorce papers while she was hospitalized for treatment of cancer ... I guess she was too busy trying not to die to realize that she wasn't doing her wifely duties by Newtie, and he got hisself a chippie. I think the chippie dumped him, unless I'm thinking of Rush. They all sort of run together in my mind, a like a miasma of muddy grey crud.
gmac17 Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 my first, and lasting, impression of Gingrich was that he's a mean-spirited hypocrite. Everytime I hear him talk I am surprised. He is supposed to be Satan, but when he speaks he comes across as very logical and pretty charismatic actually. The dems did a great job of painting him as a bad guy, and I honestly think if his name was smith he wouldn't have the reputation he does (though he's done plenty of bad stuff).

They were already separated or going through with the divorce before she found out she had cancer. While she was in the hospital, she decided to get it over with and had the papers sent to her hospital room to sign.
swede316 Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 Wow...Blzrul actually posted a real story...too bad it won't happen....Jeb Bush is a lock.
