Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, has called upon fellow Presidential contenders Rick Santorum and Rick Perry to withdraw from the race and back him as the alternative to Mitt Romney. What hubris he has beyond belief!
The fact that Rick Santorum may have won Iowa, if not ending up eight votes behind Romney, does not seem to impress Gingrich.
The fact that Rick Santorum came in fourth, ahead of Gingrich, who ended up fifth, in New Hampshire, does not seem to impress Gingrich.
The fact that more than two thirds of evangelical Christian leaders meeting in Texas over the past weekend decided to throw their support to Santorum, does not seem to have impressed Gingrich.
Gingrich sees himself as brilliant, intelligent, far above all other candidates in capabilities, even though a vast majority of former House associates and Republican political leaders nationally have attacked his candidacy on many grounds.
Instead, it is Todd Palin, and now his wife Sarah, either endorsing or speaking up for Gingrich, with Sarah avoiding going as far as her husband.
Is not that involvement by the Palins enough of an answer about the legitimacy of Newt Gingrich? The Palins, particularly Sarah, have loads of hubris like Gingrich, but not even with his intelligence and brilliance! They are the mark of the STUPID group within the GOP, which includes former candidates Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain!
Newt Gingrich has stated that if he does not win South Carolina this coming weekend, that the race is over. Let’s hope that such is the case, and that we will stop having to listen to the braggadocio of this pompous, overbearing, obnoxious, egotistical person who has passed his prime long ago!
Gingrich is seriously sick. His world view extends only as far as his Pinocchio nose. His feigned horror over John King’s question was pure theater, and his first answer, “No”, should have been the end of it (a real newsperson would have asked the obvious follow-up, “Wasn’t it disingenuous for you to attack President Clinton while conducting an extra-marital affair yourself?”), but Fatso took umbrage in what he called a “presidential” debate. The last time anyone looked, the Republicans were holding an “candidates” debate. The question of his multiple affairs and multiple marriages are an issue as it raises the question of his moral and ethical makeup. Gingrich’s thirst for power, power once rightly removed from him, is bottomless. The sooner this clown is exposed the better the country will be.
