DEL.ICIO.USNewt still a great, big maybe
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is still playing the guessing game: Will he or won’t he run for president?
The Washington Times reported this morning here that Gingrich, a Republican, would decide in early October whether to turn his pseudo-campaign into a real one.
“I will decide based on whether I have about $30 million in committed campaign contributions and whether I think it is possible to run a campaign based on ideas rather than 30-second sound bites,” Gingrich, a reporter’s dream sound-bite machine, told the Times.
That $30 million is what Gingrich believes is needed to run TV ads in the first primary and caucus states, New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina, the Times said. He’s likely to decide before Oct. 15, the deadline for official candidates to pay $500 to Utah to get on the state’s ballot.
Gingrich has been traveling for well over a year, delivering policy speeches outlining his agenda on healthcare, national defense and virtually any other issued that pops into his mind. He is speaking Thursday on Capitol Hill about programs that provide health insurance to poor children, including Georgia’s PeachCare.
“I will conduct workshops around the country through Sept. 30,” Gingrich told the Times, “after which I will make a decision.”

No one with any type of morals or scruples would vote for Newt Gingrich. He is on his third wife after having an affair with wife #2 while married to wife #1. He then cheated on wife #2 with wife #3. The same thing goes for Rudy Giuliani first he married his cousin divorced her and used the fact she was his cousin to obtain an annulment from the Catholic Church. Married his second wife and the proceeded to bring his mistress to Gracie Mansion where his wife and children lived.
Neither one of these men have the character to lead this country.

Both Giuliani and Gingrich proved their lack of moral courage when they dodged Vietnam dishonorably. Rudy slithered off to law school, like Thompson and so many others who now try to con us with their “tough talk,” and Gingrich compounded the perfidy of his later adultery by using his Wife #1’s getting knocked up to dodge the draft. They are scum and Traitor Bush fellowtravelers.

Yeah only draft dodging, serial adulterers that are Republicans are unfit. If they are Democrats, they become President.

Put a picture of Bill next to one of Winthrop Rockfeller (whose machine advanced him to the WH)…check out the unusual schnoz they “share” then look back at the “story” of his conveniently gone “WWII” father. Good cop/bad cop: Rockefeller and Rome win no matter Mobbed-up Catholic Pelosi (Baltimore D’Allesandro), Hillary, Mobbed-up McCain (who admits he threw away his plane over NVM - by his admission he should be billed for it), O-so-smart Bill…not bright enough - just like Carter or Mobbed-up adulterer Giuliani - to blow the whistle on what all the “little” people know: homosexual draft-dodger Bush and “Other Priorities” Cheney (was it he or his “lesbian potboiler writing” wife who molested Mary?) did 9-11 in service to the Saudi/Rockefeller Roman Catholic BIG OIL Dubai/heroin axis to keep the American People off balance.

Honestly, Will do you have a head injury? Ask your friends, you will probably be the last to know.

Dem good, GOP bad? GOP good, Dem bad? Limited to a binary intelligence? Can’t grasp the Founders’ Whig Interpretation of History that established America? Too much “nuance?” Or too much truth, German Catholic Shiver whose ancestors were pushed onto the boats, with the Irish and Italian Catholics, to America by your homosexual pedophile priests to “balance” the White/Black/Protestant/Jew Whig success in the new U.S. they now use illegal Hispanics to “balance”?

Shiver is English (1450- to present) . Well even French (Chievers) if you go back far enough, 1300’s. We were not forced onto any boats. But I will buy you a one way ticket on one if you like. Cuba or Chavezland maybe?

Plenty of “Anglo” Roman Catholics still trying to win the world for the pope came from Germany and Italy: Keating, Buckley, Carroll, Booth…Shiver. Wear your colors “proudly” as a Roman Catholic…American, NOT.

Wrong again. My family supported the reformation. Been protest since we have kept records. We have a very detailed family history. You, sir, are a know-it-all. Not a very good one at that. My grandfather always said that a little education is a very dangerous thing. You prove him right.

Well good, you’re “protest,” and you deny being Roman Catholic? Very “believable.” With that kind of progress pretty soon you just may become a Progressive like all true Americans.

Protestant. Sorry, oh great know-it-all. Wound a little tight, Will? Progressive is code for pinko-commie Lib.

Newt’s record is far above the others and, unlike any of the Dems, he has a true understanding and respect for the ideals that have made this country great. Plus the man has written more books than George Bush has read :)

I like Newt. But the “old media” will kill him. I am afraid he has too much baggage. If he were a democrat, it would be a feather in his cap. But you know the double standard, MistaB.

“Pinko” “Commie” “Lib” are Roman Catholics’ name-calling as taught by their pedophile priests and pederast mouthpieces like Limbaugh protecting the fascist overlords you support. If you were actually Protestant you’d have spelled it correctly, named your denomination instead, and acted as if you had a brain. Only hypocritical perverts support the GOP…and they’re most comfortable staying with the pedophiles who molested them…but are always willing to lie about being Roman Catholic because they know it’s unamerican.

I have no problem with Roman Catholics. I am a Methodist. I do not harbor some centuries old hatred for fellow Christians. You, Will, are nuts. Seriously, get checked out. I think there have been some slow changes, overtime, that are starting to catch up with you. I recommend a good 8 hours sleep, plenty of time in the sunshine (possibly suffering some depression?), and finding a church to attend (you need some socialization in a healthy atmosphere). You are in my prayers.

Shiver, it’s funny to me that Newt hasn’t done anything that the Clinton’s don’t do everyday right in broad daylight. Ayway… I understand your point but I am saying so what; find someone who hasn’t sinned. He going down the exact road our new President should - only talking about SOLTUIONS. You gotta admit, it would be laughable to see Newt flatten any of the current candidates in a “real” debate.

Shiver - Your ad hominems don’t make the facts of 9-11 and the bi-partisan false elite’s fairies tales (promulgated by the likes of Pierre DuPont’s lackey Newt Gingrich) go away: Bush and Cheney, and the same operative hierarchy that killed Kennedy and King, did the crime to send us to false war for oil and heroin and only one candidate of either party, Obama, has even alluded (whether projection or interpretation) to the truths most of us understand and none of the Bush/Hillary fellowtravelers, for Rome and Rockefeller, are willing to discuss.

Will, Barry Obama is Hillary’s straw man. He is there for her to beat. That way it looks like she had to struggle for the nomination, and give her some much needed “street cred.”
MistaB, you’re right. It would be great if Newt could be the one, but I am afraid it won’t happen. He is by far the most intelligent person on the political deus. By the way, pray for Will Jones. He’s not well.

No one ever said the democrats didn’t lie or cheat. They just didn’t try to impeach a president while for lying about an affair while in the midst of having one. Newt leading the charge against Bill while having his own affair. Is that not the pot calling the kettle black?

Papists’ Pal Shiver …I’ll be doing better when your Roman Fifth Column is tried, convicted and punished for their 9-11 treason. Those, like you, who commit Misprision of Treason may not get the noose, but expect the same treatment Americans gave the Tories in 1776: Banishment and expropriation.

The American People shall rise up and throw off the caesaropapist Ant-Christ, again. Justice for Kennedy, King, the dead of 9-11, Vietnam and the Afghan/Iraq false war!
P.S.Shiver… thanks for admitting the obvious.

MistaB, I think Will is taking thing too seriously, still. He was on another thread (or whatever) and his reputation was already well known.

I don’t know that Newt Gingrich can win even if he does run, but I do think having him in the race will cause the other candidates to at least address some issues they are currently skating. www.GoNewt2008.com
