CNN’s John King wasted no time in going after Newt Gingrich over his ex-wife’s interview with ABC. When King asked him if he had any comment about it, Newt said, “No.” It won him an instant standing ovation.
Gingrich received a second standing ovation when he said he was “tired of the elite media covering for Barack Obama.”
If Newt wins the nomination then this is the turning point.

It would have been nice if Newt was that respectful of man's personal life in the 90's, but he did a great job answering that question tonight.
KDW| 1.19.12 @ 11:08PM
What 'Man' are you talking about? Could it be
that womanizing clown we had as President
in the 90's who spent a large portion of his
workday in the oval office with his pants around
his ankles?
The man who used state workers to procure
women for him, got sued for sexually harassing
an Arkansas state employee, then committed
perjury to try to derail her civil law suit?
Why would anyone be respectful of that?

It was a nice shot across CNN's bow.

Better to prefer women than to have rumours swirling about a certain community a "slim Kenyan" supposedly loved to frequent.
Better to prefer women than to have a guy who belonged to a "church" with a reputation for finding women to provide cover for Democrats with certain alternative tastes.
There's a great deal about obama's past that the media has been damned and determined not to cover.

If newt wins the nomination republicans are doomed.

If Newt wins the nomination, Obama and the Dems are doomed.

Why all the pessimism, folks? I thought the purpose of this entire exercise is to ultimately defeat Obama and halt the advance of godless socialism.
Dan| 1.19.12 @ 10:13PM
I'm not pessimistic.
I only worry that the Republicans and their standard bearer, whoever he might be, might not push the issues as they ought to be pushed, might not go aggressively after obama as he ought to be gone after.
In short, I worry that they'll revert back to the idiotic Bush family playbook.
If they do that, ------------- we'll have our doors blown off by the media and obama who are determined to protect themselves from the judgement of history, which should be: obama=one term!
bill| 1.19.12 @ 10:07PM
Yup! He didi it again. Speaker Gingrich "the master of debate" received two standing ovations, responding CNN's foiled attempt to distort his campaign. He is the "ocean of wisdom." and can dismantle Obama in the debate, if he wins the GOP nod.

" Gingrich isn’t much more popular among groups like Freedom Works than Romney. In May, when Gingrich sharply criticized Paul Ryan’s Medicare reform plan, FreedomWorks Chairman Dick Armey reminded National Review that Gingrich had been a serial offender:
Citing Gingrich’s support of Dede Scozzafava in the 2009 congressional election in New York’s 23rd district, his backing of Medicare Part D and TARP, and his commercial with Nancy Pelosi about climate change, Armey observes that “Newt entered the race with serious ground to make up with these 2 million Tea Party activists.”…
Brendan Steinhauser, director of Federal and State Campaigns for FreedomWorks, reports that the Tea Partiers he’s talked to are “irate” at Gingrich… “I never met a single Tea Party activist that supported Newt Gingrich for president,” he adds."

The only reason people (read Evangelicals) like that scumbag Newt is because they prefer even immoral Catholics over Mormons. It's all prejudice.
