Newt’s Virginia Ballot Debacle as Pearl Harbor?

Typical over the top hyperbole from this man – no “mistake”, no “error” … he needed 10k signatures – and didn’t get it, plain and simple.

More like his Waterloo (from Napolean’s viewpoint).

Not only does Newtie compare his and his campaign’s incompetence to the murder of 2,500 American servicemen, he advances the unproven conspiracy theory that some sort of lack of planning by FDR was responsible for the Pearl Habor massacre.

In one statement, Gingrich insults FDR, the American military, and the memory of those servicemen who gave their lives that day. If there was a conspiracy in the late 30s and early 40s, it was his own party’s isolationism and fiscal conservatism. They controlled the congress and prevented FDR from fully preparing for war. (Yeah, Newt, I read history too … and not your conspiracy theory version of it). Had it not been for FDR’s stroke of genius, called Lend-Lease, we likely would be speaking either German or Japanese by now.

This is Newt. This is who he was in the 90s and who he is today. He may go to church now, get the sacrament of Reconciliation on Saturdays, and receive Communion at mass on Sundays, but he’s the same arrogant, unthinking, heartless wing-nut he’s always been.

I wonder how the last survivors of Pearl Harbor regard Newt’s asinine statement?

Let me see if I understand how “THAT” mind works: Virginia ballot debacle will live in infamy?

Nothing has changed: Obama still sucks.

Hey Newt: If you paid attention and stopped your book tour and concentrated on your presidential tour …you would not be in this position. Pearl Harbor? Don’t you think that is stretching things????How come everyone else has the necessary information?

True. Succinct summary of the key point.

I sure hope Obama can remember how many state are in the USA during this next election, lol, but that’s what the teleprompter is supposed to be for. And the silly indignation of this: “Your comments are the perfect example why people have such disdain for the Republicans/TP party” (TREBLIG56). Right, lol. Obama’s crappy performance coupled with his misguided arrogance is why people have such disdain for him and his remaining robotic followers.

Just a reminder – Obama’s job approval rating is back up to 47% with disapproval down to 45%.

Many are obviously deeply disappointed with Obama so far, no getting around that, but he is learning to do better, and once his bigger programs are fully in place, he will make a comeback. Taxes will be higher and the debt will take longer to pay off, but it will all be worth it as the bigger govenment makes everything better and fairer for almost everone.

“Taxes will be higher and the debt will take longer to pay off, ……but it will all be worth it as the bigger govenment makes everything better and fairer for almost everone.”…. We’re doomed

Newt shows his true colors again. When he fails to comply with the law, there is something wrong with the law because it doesn’t give him what he wants. Then he says he is just going to sidestep the law. The whole POINT of objective ballot measures is that they DO show who is a top candidate. Ron Paul has volunteers who actually care enough about his campaign to get boots on the ground and get it done. Mitt Romney has enough money to pay people to get it done. Newt, has no people who care, no money, no organization, and clearly no ethics.

As the granddaughter of a Pearl Harbor veteran, who lived his entire life remembering the horror of that day–down to the frantic tapping on the hull of the doomed Arizona, by those trapped within–I cannot begin to express the measure of disgust and contempt I feel for someone who would draw such a comparison, regardless of the context in which it is being drawn.

9/11 was worthy of such a comparison, and my grandfather was not the only one to draw that conclusion: But a perceived injustice in a political campaign, or any other non-catastrophic event? Hardly.

But then, I was planning on voting for Ron Paul again, anyway. There’s a reason he has far greater support from the military than any other candidate enjoys.

Nothing has changed, the entire GOP field “still sucks” …

Yes, it’s really no wonder at all that the GOP is so very unpopular, and that given the goofbombs the GOP has to offer, Obama’s approval rating is up and his margins have increased against possible Republican presidential challengers in hypothetical GE matchups.

Americans realize how out of step the Republican party has become with American values. The Republican party hasn’t offered a single candidate the American people think would do a better job as president than President Obama. And Newt really is a joke. This double gaffe– the embarrassing mistake and the horrid analogy– is just inexcusable.

Maybe by 2015 the Republicans will have time to truly regroup and offer some worthwhile candidates. They haven’t accomplished that this time around. They’ve bombed…

Yep. Agreed. POSTED BY: JACKSON **********
Better than being vain idiots, with arrogant, self
righteous attitudes like all the GOP flunky contenders
are.

“I’m not sure the analogy really does justice to the grandness, the immensity of Newt. I think the better analogy is 1066, the Battle of Hastings. And I think King Harold is dead. And William the Conqueror has landed and Newt is going to pick up the crown of the last king of the Saxons and lead a trusty band of Saxons, fueled with money from Freddie Mac, and will retake Britain from William and change the course of European history. I think that kind of analogy captures the cosmic importance of the Newt campaign.” –Charles Krauthammer

Obama’s approval rating now above 47% and higher than his disapproval rating. Americans are tired of the Republicans and their negative politics – and the slate of Republican candidates is very weak. Expect the Republicans to lose many seats in the next election.

CeeLeeLee, I remind you again, the Republican vote isn’t split when pitting Obama against the generic Republican. Why isn’t this flawless Republican able to top 50% against such a “disdained” President? But, gee willikers, I don’t expect a cogent answer from you. When a conservative pulls out the tired old “Messiah” shtick, it means he/she can’t find a leg to stand on.

My golly gee willickers,the Newt is a pompous fool, yeah?

I always vote Republican but they have really sent in the clowns this year. If I vote for one, does that make me a clown too?

Whomever is posing as me (ceeleelee) on these blogs need to have the courage of his/her convictions and post under their own name. Using someone else’s name to get your point across is, just, well, cowardly,
