Democrats Slam Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney for ‘Martini Lifestyle’ Ahead of Iowa Debate

Let’s set the record straight, Clinton left us with a surplus economy,The previous Republican administration created the economic crisis of 3/4 of the present debt and put us in the economic crisis we are in today. Gingrich got paid over a million dollars as a consultant in the foreclosure market. Whose calling the “Kettle black”?

I love how stupid these rich democrats are, they’re trying to make it seem like they know all about the middle class life when in reality they’re are just as wealthy as the republicans.

“Let’s set the record straight, Clinton left us with a surplus economy.”

Wrong. That’s a long-running lefty myth.

Clinton never had a budget surplus. Trust funds were borrowed to make it appear the government had income. In other words, the myth was based on an accounting trick. The reality is the national debt NEVER WENT DOWN under Clinton. Even in Clinton’s best year, there was a $17.9 billion deficit. (Source: US Treasury Department).

Democrats never had any problems with Bush’s spending. They did, however, often complain loudly that he didn’t spend nearly enough.

Bush’s tax cuts increased federal revenues, all of which were spent and then some. Just like they were during the Reagan years. Democrats gleefully participated in deficit spending during both presidencies. They took deficit spending to hysterical levels when they controlled both chambers of Congress under Obama. Obama increased the national debt from $10 TRILLION to $15 TRILLION in less than three years–an insane 50% increase.

What? Democrats are shameless hypocrites? I’m shocked!

Yeah right! Obama and the Democrats care about working people in America??? The facts tell a different story! The Obamacrats have done nothing except enrich themselves while the economy remains in the toilet. All they’ve cared to do is create more government jobs and spend more and more on government programs. Newsflash!! Most people do not work for the government!!

Barry has been a little ###### since axelplouffe made him threaten to postpone his vacation so he might look like a leader.

ABC, is the race toward thew Republican primary the only political news? Why don’t you include stories about the president’s speech? Covering for his lies?

Posted by: deanbob | December 9, 2011, 10:21 am 10:21 am

Not too many stories about about the former governor of Illinois either…

“I’m not in a position, given the number of transactions, to know anything specific about the movement of any specific funds,” said Corzine. Why can’t Corzine or Holder (Fast and Furious) just tell the truth? Is it a political requirement that one be able to not tell the truth?

USA today Thursday, Gas prices push more to drive less. See something Obama planned
has worked. He stated In running for President,energy Prices would rise under his plan.
Tom Kloza chief Analyst at oil price information, said that people realized that by Columbus day this year, that they had spent just as much money on fuel as the year before. The average price for gas this year will end at$3.50 the highest yearly average
ever. See Obama has kept his word, and the democrats have drove everyone to a
Martini lifestyle, although most of us cheap beer or wine.

Eric Holder on Fast&Furious..Lying is just a state of mind..The misssing guns will be used in crime for a long time

John Corzine: I am puzzled as to where the money went….MF Employee.. Bill Clinton received $50,000 a month

Obama yesterday: we do not need a reason to party

Obama WH. The shooting at Fort Hood was “work place violence”.. hmmmmmmm.. “workplace” violence….Sunni OR Shia??????

If you’re so sure the GOP won’t win and everyone is so sick of them, why are you wasting so much of your time this morning posting your comments? In your view they’ll lose, so what’s the point of obsessing about it? Don’t you have anything more productive to do like enjoying the magical hope and change that Obama brought you?

“I don’t care what kind of sick lifestyle Newt Gingrich has…”

If he was a Democrat you would be one of his toads.

But since he’s Republican, you’re his toad? Nice. Never mind Newt Gingrich’s erratic management style,arrogance, insider status, lobbying past, willingness to sell himself out, serial cheating, serial hypocrisy, gimmicks, and flip flopping. A toad will be a toad.

Glad you’re willing to put that out there so clearly through partisan projection.

You can’t make this craziness up.

Don’t worry Kimberly, I am positive all the news sites you visit will give blow by blow
details. I will tell you this much, from the Library of congress Thomas database
you can find out that Newt co-sponsored 418 bills together while in congress with Nancy Pelosi over their 12 years together. that alone kills my vote.

I just hope Obama can still win despite his horrible performance so far. Thanks for all of you defending Obama’s big spending and big government ideas, which are the only way to go at this point.

Foggy, so you hug hypocrisy… makes sense why you’d be a willing and eager toad for a Newt then, yeah?

As for the rest of your claims, but, but, but, but, but Bill!!! sigh… Partisan toads… they can’t help but project themselves onto others as some sort of bizarre justification for their lack of compass outside of party.

“Kimberly, I know your heart is in the right place, but your head is not. You basically spamming these blogs with the same posts over and over is not productive. We both want Obama to win, but please be a bit more sensible and discreet. Thanks.”

LOL, and KACHING! The truth from her own side of the fence. I don’t post that much at all, but every blog I encounter has “KIMBERLY” on it with her repeated posts. Time to get a life outside of pumping out stale propaganda.

Deadwrestler,there appears to be quite a lot coming from Mitt, Ron Paul and libertarian-oriented blogs and news sites.

Democrats prefer Newt as the political opponent.

Since I care about the country,I think Mitt is the better option. Put two good,capable and reliable candidates up and see who wins. I’d like to see Ron Paul run as an independent,too.

Oh,look a sock puppet show.Cute.

And you talk about getting a life? Clue: I can hear the croaking….

Do you imagine the show is persuasive to someone?Anyone?

Too funny.

Obama is very clearly a sorry failure in almost every way. I confess that I was not the brightest bulb either, since I voted for him. Sorry that Kimberly is devoting her “life” to still defending him, evidently 24/7, lol. Oh well, she’s not the first to waste boatloads of time on crazy bs. Some people just can’t admit they were wrong, and move on to find something better to do.

but Wall Street knows there is no money to be made off the American taxpayer in a Ron Paul presidency, so, surprise! They hate him more than they hate Obama.
Posted by: blip | December 9, 2011, 10:50 am 10:50 am

That’s really funny. Wall Street doesn’t hate Obama. They have made RECORD PROFITS since Obama took office. He demonizes them in speeches, yet behind closed doors he gives them a wink and a nod. Why do you think the press isn’t allowed in his $35,000 a plate campaign events? He doesn’t want to be seen sucking up to these people. But it IS happening.

I’d like to see Ron Paul run as an independent,too.
Posted by: Kimberly | December 9, 2011, 12:03 pm 12:03 pm

Of course you would. ANYTHING to take votes away from the Republican candidate.

I’d like to see Hillary run as an independent.

Yawn! Who are you trying to convince? Yourself?

“Mary,” —the puppet show continues…what is it they say?Only the truly boring rely on expressions of boredom as conversation. Particularly in a puppet show.

WASHINGTON) — President Obama’s uphill battle to re-election is getting steeper.

A report released Wednesday by the centrist think-tank Third Way showed that more than 825,000 voters in eight key battleground states have fled the Democratic Party since Obama won election in 2008.

“The numbers show that Democrats’ path to victory just got harder,” said Lanae Erickson, the report’s co-author. “We are seeing both an increase in independents and a decrease in Democrats and that means the coalition they have to assemble is going to rely even more on independents in 2012 than it did in 2008.”

“Barb”— How often do you whine about others’ posts?

Have you read Goodbye to All That: Reflections of a GOP Operative Who Left the Cult by Mike Lofgren?

Check it out.

Meanwhile,Newt’s biography includes three wives, cheating, a $300,000 fine for ethics violations– the first time that EVER happened to a speaker of the House– and a $250,000-plus charge account at Tiffany. Gingrich has flip-flopped and floundered on issues from health-care reform to climate change to Libya to the Middle East — and he recently has said a lot of stupid stuff regarding child-labor laws. He is erratic and has been described as a managerial disaster.

And his ego is legendary.

Most Republicans couldn’t stand him till very recently. He only is getting attention because all the other flavors of the month flamed out.

No wonder the GOP is so unpopular and enthusiasm is on a downslope. The truth may hurt you, but I will speak truth to ignorance regardless.

Posted by: wheresmymoney | December 9, 2011, 1:15 pm 1:15 pm

Obama is an underdog,for sure.Look at the mess he inherited and the hit job the right did on him. But he’s becoming less and less of an underdog if you look at 2010 to now and how much has changed. The GOP botched an opportunity to evolve and offer a good presidential candidate to the people. Or even a generic Republican that the people could rally around.Americans don’t like Newt. Heck,half of the right wing doesn’t like Newt. Both Newt and Mitt are uninspired and uninspiring choices. That’s just the truth.Honest Republicans will tell you that. And neither can be trusted for slightly different reasons. Peggy Noonan wrote a piece about how disturbing Newt is and why. She claims he’s inspiring,too….but to whom? The same type of kooks that loved Sarah Palin and think she’s a genius. The people who know Newt do not want him to get the nomination.That’s telling.

I don’t want anyone in the Republican field to win, so I say,bring it on.Nominate Newt. But don’t expect to be able to pretend it was all a horrible mistake in ’14. You will just be repeating the McCain crazy temperament thing,but worse. Americans get that Obama is much more trustworthy than Newt. They just do.

“Obama is an underdog,for sure.”

Posted by: Kimberly | December 9, 2011, 1:39 pm 1:39 pm

A sitting president who has the bully pulpit, is amassing a $1 billion campaign war chest, and gets active promotion from his media sycophants (think MSNBC) is the underdog. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

But he’s becoming less and less of an underdog if you look at 2010 to now and how much has changed.
Posted by: Kimberly | December 9, 2011, 1:39 pm 1:39 pm

You need to read my 1:15 post again dearie. Dems in KEY states have left the party in droves since 2008. Trying to spin it as an advantage to Obama shows just how out of touch with reality you are. The imposter in chief has compounded the recession problem with his anti business, anti job creator’s, anti American rhetoric.

The only thing that is trustworthy about Obama is that he will suck up to the Middle East. Hasn’t talked much about “Arab Spring” since the Muslim Brotherhood won the election, has he? We won’t until AFTER the next election.

WMM, I read your post regurgitating the Fox spin of the study and understood it perfectly. Again,you’re talking about since 2008,not since 2010. My post stands and your hate filled screeching sounds more Anti American than the president’s rhetoric.

Both Newt and Mitt are uninspired and uninspiring choices. That’s just the truth.Honest Republicans will tell you that. And neither can be trusted for slightly different reasons. Peggy Noonan wrote a piece about how disturbing Newt is and why.

Remember the Esquire profile of Newt — the one in which his ex-wife sheds some light on how greedy and self-centered and power-driven he is.And how vacant?

He’s an erratic and arrogant person who has been described as a disgraced managerial disaster.

No wonder the GOP is so unpopular.

Lizzie and Mary, the same sort of projection of your own partisan views. Bad habit? Compulsion? Freudian?

Esquire profile, Peggy Noonan column, his half-sister, his ex-wife, the Republicans who worked with him in the house, Karl Rove, libertarians…. lots working against Newt. But the truly partisan know nothing except…. but, but, but, those libruls…. they’re the ones who portray Newt as erratic, hypocritical, vacant, cheater, disgraced, flip-flopping, inconsistent, untrustworthy.

Problem is…. there’s lots of dirty laundry to air out. Newt’s biography includes three wives, cheating, a $300,000 fine for ethics violations– the first time that EVER happened to a speaker of the House– and a $250,000-plus charge account at Tiffany. Gingrich has flip-flopped and floundered on issues from health-care reform to climate change to Libya to the Middle East — and he recently has said a lot of stupid stuff regarding child-labor laws. He is erratic and has been described as a managerial disaster.

And his ego is legendary.

No wonder the GOP is so unpopular.

Obama’s not an underdog. Though it’s not necessarily due to his immense strength or something. The GOP is just plain creepy. They cheer about the death penalty. They think everyone who loses their house is a loser. They think the unemployed are lazy and the uninsured deserve to die.

A week ago, they told me the messiah was the CEO of a bankrupt pizza chain…. turned out he was just a lecher. Before that, it was supposed to be the governor of Texas… it turn out the guy can only remember two things at a time. Prior to that, the Messiah was a deranged woman from Minnesota, turns out she was just a deranged woman from Minnesota. Before that, the Messiah was reality TV star who wears a wig made from hair the clogged Drain of Richie Cunningham’s shower. Now, the Messiah is a thrice married, spendthrift crook and lobbyist who is famous his hypocrisy and enormous ego…. There’s still that pro-choice guy, pro-Obamacare guy from Massachusetts, once he figures out what the GOP wants, he might be next Messiah. And then there’s the man on dog guy. And, finally, there’s the least laughable, though still somewhat disturbing, one: Ron Paul. But you all insist that he’s the absurd lunatic. (And Huntsman is no idiot…. but once he declared, I knew that the Republicans fear him for having been appreciated by Obama at one point in his life… and it’s an all-consuming hate they have for Obama.).

People say this and that about independents… but I have voted for just as many Republicans in my life as I have Democrats. I pick the candidate. I picked Obama over McCain, and am glad I did it. He isn’t perfect, but he’s still better. Picked Bush over Gore, and then Kerry over Bush, because I saw where I had made the mistake. I truly wish there were a reasonable alternative to Obama, because I would consider that person. But let’s face it…. it seems totally likely that the GOP is going to nominate someone who is an utter joke. I mean, you just can’t win the Republican primary without being a freak of some sort. I hate to say it. No matter how mad independents are at Obama, they just aren’t going to pull the lever for the Republican.

I mean, let’s face it, Obama is going to have an easier time than he would have if he was running against the pre-GOP Tea Party. And it will still be closer than it should be. And there still is the problem of the voter suppression. That could be decisive. But, like I always say, make sure you register and your neighbors register, register with a reputable group, and make sure you know the voting laws very well. If fanatics are willing to run around telling ridiculous lies about Obama, they are willing to do and say things to keep people from casting a ballot in his favor (and because these fanatics are also religious fanatics, they probably think they have a morally justified reason to stop you from voting…. like maybe they imagine you are against Christmas or something… or that you are a Kenyan). Learn the law, keep your eyes open, be a good neighbor…. and America will be better for it!

Another wordy blip on the screen, lol. “Trickle down economics” sure does work better than trickle up unemployment and poverty. It also works better than tossing money away because of dogmatic ideological blindness and to achieve political payoffs to buddies and donors, as in Solyndra.

“You need to step out of your 1950s, red scare, dreamworld”. Few people I have seen who live in that conveniently claimed world, but many are living in the false hope of a laughably phony leftist “utopia”, where the government creates and guarantees everyone the same dull mediocrity. Not for me, and not for most of America.

I am a somewhat overweight and very bored housewife with a cause.
In short, i can’t lose.
Just sayin….yet again, lol!

““Trickle down economics” sure does work better than trickle up unemployment and poverty.”

Trickle down economics turned out to be trickle up unemployment and poverty. But, apparently, your ideological blindness renders you incapable of doing the math.

You think our current economic woes are the result of leftist, utopian pipe dreams… yeesh. Gimme summa that PCP you’re smokin’, because it left your brain half broken, or maybe you’ve just misspoken. No, wait, I think you’re surely jokin’. Nobody in their right mind, not even Sam Eagle, believes that anyone but capitalists repealed Glass-Steagall. They promised us gold as they laughed from above, and the GOP said it was just some tough love. To inspire the peons to get up on top, as they unzipped their zippers and let the drips drop. Pennies from Heaven or so the songs says, but it’s just trickle down theory raining gold on our heads. Gold you can’t spend, because it’s locked in their banks. We do the work, and they get the thanks. And if we ask for a raise, they call it class war. But we just want a scoreboard to reflect the real score. Sorry I took off, went off on a tear. But if you fart in my car, you will hear me swear. And I’ll open the windows and let in some air. And when the stink blows away, we can say that we’re square.

But you can’t belch those lies in the public domain, without people thinking you’re smoking cocaine. This last 40 years, we’ve seen wages decline, while productivity itself has consistently climbed. We gave tax cuts to the job creators. We’ve cut regulation and cut regulators. We’ve cut down so low, we’ve got nowhere to go, and now you want us to deepen and deepen the hole? Then to blame Obama for what you promised to do? You talk like you know, but you haven’t a clue.
