Kevin Dayhoff - Soundtrack: Speaker Newt Gingrich has become an unhinged post ...: Speaker Newt Gingrich is an unhinged post turtle January 13, 2012 by Kevin Dayhoff http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2012/01/spea...
The narrative of the attacks upon the presidential candidacy
of Gov. Mitt Romney by Gov. Rick Perry, Speaker Newt Gingrich, and the
Democratic Party is just plain nuts.
Although I never found the candidacy of Gov. Perry sustainable;
I at one time, gave serious consideration to the idea of Speaker Gingrich
assuming the responsibilities of the Oval Office. That ship has passed. And
that’s sad…
For the balance of the 2012 presidential campaign and
perhaps for the rest of his career, Speaker Gingrich is a post turtle…
Between the malicious and irresponsible attacks upon Gov. Romney
and the distinct possibility of a Ron Paul third party run for president, the
re-election of President Barack Obama is all but a cinch.
Like many, I vote the economy and national security. Anyone
who levels specious attacks upon Gov. Romney about his role in venture
capitalism and private equity demonstrates a basic lack of knowledge of how our
economy works and how jobs are created – and thus, they disqualify themselves
to assume the role of the presidency or have any place in national leadership.
“By the time you read this, we will
all be analyzing the electability of Gov. Mitt Romney and pondering how badly
the Republicans will look as they snatch defeat, in the November elections,
from the jaws of victory.
“To paraphrase the colorful words
of a liberal colleague, who after carefully watching the debates and the
political silliness of the Iowa caucuses remarked irreverently, at this point
President Obama could kill a puppy on TV and still win the election.
“Especially since President Obama
still has the complete support of the traditional left-leaning major media that
will work hard to make sure he gets a second term, so as to justify its
unabashed and shameful full-throttle support of the machine-made candidate of
2008.
“It has been said that the highest
statistical probability of failure is within sight of success. Only with
Republicans, they usually can’t wait and work hard at eating their own long
before the finish line.
“To paraphrase President Lyndon B.
Johnson, the only difference between cannibals and Republicans is that
cannibals only eat their enemies.”
JANUARY 10, 2012
Humiliated in Iowa, a desperate and angry Newt Gingrich is
taking the offensive against Mitt Romney, whom he accuses of "looting
companies when he headed the Bain Capital investment firm," reports
NationalJournal.com, and "conservative interests are
pushing back":
"Newt Gingrich's attacks on Mitt Romney's record at
Bain Capital are disgusting," Club for Growth President Chris Chocola said
in a statement Monday night. "There are a number of issues for Mitt
Romney's Republican opponents to attack him for, but attacking him for making
investments in companies to create a profit for his investors is just wrong.''
Radio talk show host
Rush Limbaugh said Gingrich "is using the language of
the left.''
