Fool me once, shame on you
I will absolutely disappoint all of my conservative friends and readers if you force me to choose between Obama and Gingrich. Look, I was Gingrich’s biggest fan until he was caught doing the same thing he went after Clinton for during the impeachment proceedings. I admired him for engineering the coup in 1993 that put Congress in Republican control for the first time in 50 years. i’d actually been a fan for years before as I read about him in Hedrick Smith’s “The Power Game”
Why do you think that the Washington Post runs an article today announcing that Democrat strategists are “worried” about Gingrich. Probably because the Post wants to see a Gingrich candidacy, like when they convinced us that McCain was a better choice than George W. Bush. When they tried to tell us that they’d have voted for McCain and we believed them and ran McCain against their worst candidate since Jimmy Carter.
Republicans are about to blow their easiest election in decades by putting the corrupt Gingrich against the incompetent boob currently occupying the White House. I’ll sit the election out before I get fooled again. I have nothing good to say about Gingrich and I won’t swallow my pride all next year just to avoid a second Obama term.
Yeah, I choked down a McCain candidate, but I’m not plastering a phony smile on my face for Gingrich for a whole year like I did in 2008. You folks had better get your shit together and put up a better choice, because I’ll shut this blog down before it supports that corrupt buffoon Gingrich.
How’s that for some Monday morning controversy?

No, the inconvenient fact that he did not run as a third party candidate.
Do try to pay attention, willya, Side-Stepper?
I heard that there is a Ron Paul rally in Belize next July and that free drinks will be provided to all attendees. Actually, each attendee will receive only one drink. For some unspecified reason, my source tells me, that’s all they’ll need.
well I have read most of your fools remarks
Just a short remark
you have already lost
When your say I would vote for anyone besides Obama.
Obama has lowered taxes and put forward ways to help the Country move forward.
Your guys just want to go back to failed policies of the so called Conservitive movement.
Get a Life It was and always be Liberal Ideas that make this country great
So you have a choice be a Troy or be a Patriot.
Obama not the best but really if you can even consider voting for Gingrich over him I can say your not a Patriot.
What the hell is a Troy?
Maybe that’s a 21st century UK loyalist???
Hawk: you are a Very good riter and i’m Glad that some one is speaking up Aginst these Conservitive idiots. I know what you mean. its not importunt how you say what your saying. its the massage that counts!!!!
You know that he’s smart enough to see through your mocking. He will now come back and dub you a Troy.
Know hes knot!
Troy, er, Hawk, I think you meant Obama has leaned forward? Or he wants the rest of us to lean forward, or just BOHICA?
No, the inconvenient fact that he did not run as a third party candidate.
Hey, EK–how’s this for an inconvenient fact?
If he had ANY principles at all, he’d have STAYED out of the GOP when he quit the first time. And yeah, he DID run as a third-party candidate, even if you don’t count 2008, or does your memory not pre-date the Internet?
“There is no credibility left for the Republican Party as a force to reduce the size of government. That is the message of the Reagan years.”
“I want to totally disassociate myself from the policies that have given us unprecedented deficits, massive monetary inflation, indiscriminate military spending, an irrational and unconstitutional foreign policy, zooming foreign aid, the exaltation of international banking, and the attack on our personal liberties and privacy.”
excerpted from Ron Paul’s letter leaving the Republican Party, 1987
Now pretty please, GDIAF.
@110 – I agree with the assertion of principles in the case of Paul. His statement you quoted is dead on…and I don’t know why he is running in the GOP Primary.
@110. Ouch. That’s gonna leave a mark.
CI–and yet he’s perfectly fine with standing up on stage and bullshitting gullible idiots he’s a “true conservative” when the only thing true about him is the fact he’s batshit crazy.
Of course, none of his supporters have yet to explain to me why he went back to the GOP after burning his bridges in the 1980’s, why he doesn’t follow his own edicts of term limits, spending, pork, etc.
Inconvenient facts, all.
