Was there a Gingrich Campaign?

His campaign ended on Meet the Press.

 

[Political Junky]

I think Gingrich is running to sell books.

Kind of like Palin.

Yes, and living off of campaign donations.

Based on this mornings reports, Newt has shown himself to be pussy whipped


His chances of winning are nil

 

[Nosmo King]

Last night, Leno said of the Gingrich campaign when the people who are paid to like you quit....

Yes, he is.

The main reason that everyone did a Newtiny (campaign mutiny), was because his advisors begged him to not go on that cruise to Greece after he'd already started his campaign. His wife however, won out and they went anyway (probably also explains that little 1/2 million Tiffany's account as well).

Nope, Eye of Newt isn't going to pull out any magic, he's just gonna quit.

Hmmmm...........me thinks we'll find out there is more to this story sometime soon.......

Heard on NPR that Newt recently used the term "right wing social engineering" in reference to some (didn't hear who) fellow republican or perhaps some R group.

Now OF COURSE, various R groups are about the business of social engineering.

That is a given because every government policy is some kind of social engineering.

However, since that is one of the charges so often made by R's in regard to any D or left wing policy proposal, the Rs would like to insure that the average American doesn't THINK that the R's are about the business of social engineering.

SOCIAL ENGINEERS charges are much like the charges made about people fighting a CLASS WAR.

Every policy is going to effect the CLASSES differently, ergo every proposal to change any policy could be (if one were an idiot, who didn't understand the forking OBVIOUS) called CLASS WAR.

Such charges as CLASS WAR or SOCIAL ENGINEERING can be 100% TRUE without actually conveying any TRUTH if the audience is clueless.

And since the public mostly doesn't have a fucking clue about social science or what terms in that dicipline actually mean?

Propagandists have turned value neutral words and phases into partisan EPITHETS.

Newt's SIN was being ACCURATE in his terminology.

But he wasn't using the REPUBLICAN APPROVED script.

Here ya go, it was on "Meet the Press"......

And........if you need more evidence, remember Boehner and Cantor squawking about jobs and the economy? Why is it then, that the first thing they did was try to get rid of DADT, go after abortion, the Defense of Marriage Act and all that other crap instead of jobs and the economy?

Then.......there's the FL governor who is now doing drug testing for welfare.........

I'm Shocked to see you here...



peace...

LOL... nope, not done. At least not yet.

 

[kwc57]

Oh, HE isn't thru, but that is because he refused to read the writing on the wall before he even announced. Taking the Fred Thompson approach to campaining is a snoozer and a loser.

You actually think Newt has a shot? Seriously? He has too much baggage, plus you can't run a part time campaign like his wife wanted him to do. He has miscalculated this all the way around.

It's 7 months before the first caucus, there's plenty of time to campaign, Obama has more baggage than anybody as his is a failed presidency thats destroying our country. Yes, Newt is still in the race. In fact, of the announced candidates he's in a virtual three wat tie for second place as him, Cain, and Paul fight to be the "not Romney". Paul won't be it, Cain may be but so far I consider him the flavor of the month. I like the guy but his ideas are light, his policy positions are non-existant, and he's pretty much just running an anti Obama campaign with not much substance. It comes down (currently) to Cain or Newt to be the "not Romney" and I don't believe Cain has either the staying power or the depth to win.

Sorry, but Newt's "campaign" is purely egocentrical. He's an idea man, and does poorly at implementation. Screwinng up in the first week on Meet the Press followed up by a two week vacation abroad is not how you campaign......even if the first caucus is 7 months away. Aloof candidates do not attract voters. Look, I think Newt is a very intelligent man, but he needs to stick to writing and selling books. He will never be elected to any office again.
