Newt Gingrich Wins South Carolina Republican Primary

Posted by Ellen -395.80pc on January 21, 2012 · Flag

What are your thoughts? What news coverage are you watching, reading or listening to? This is an open thread. 

I'm not sure what I think about Gingrich's win. I still think Romney is the inevitable nominee. I can't say I'm sorry to see him take some knocks. On the other hand, I was hoping Gingrich's little hissy fit would get the reaction it deserved.

Librul Media must be taken off wife support, err, life support. The unholy trinity will push the sheeple into my many folds and I shall reward them with my endless Breakfasts at Tiffany’s.

“I’m not sure what I think about Gingrich’s win. I still think Romney is the inevitable nominee.”

You’re correct, Ellen.

This win by Gingrich was a momentary hiccup.

SC is a state where:

- the confederate flag flies proudly on the capitol building
- one of its recent governors had a high-profile extramarital affair that led to his ouster
- the population has a large number of poor, rural, “salt of the earth” types {aka: idiots}, who’ll desire ANYONE besides that black guy with the funny name in the White House

So, it’s understandable that an ethically-challenged serial adulterer who whines loudly about mistreatment by the press, such as Newt, would play well there.

But the next stop for the GOP Clown Show will be Florida — a state with a large number of wealthy retirees.

Mittens will be in his element there.

President Pig Newton? The Repug-Teabaggers have clearly gone off the deep end.

The Washington Elite GOP Power Machine does not want The Newt as the GOP nominee, and he knows it. Expect more attacks on the old fool next week.

High End Hannocchio will be helping The Newt by giving him much air time to spew his crazy talking points. Everyone knows Hannocchio supports The Newt, including his audience.

Newt and Mitt both have enough baggage that they’ll be quickly and soundly beaten when the nominee’s decided. Trust me, everything Mitt was lucky enough to have undiscovered in 2008? It’s coming out now. Everything Newt thinks we forgot? We’re being reminded.

Plus the whole “The White Guy’s gonna save us from the black guy!” mentality has a lot of people on the ropes.
Ellen commented 2012-01-21 22:40:35 -0500 · Flag
So we’ll see what happens. In the end, I just don’t see the Republicans actually nominating Gingrich. I wonder if the attacks will really come on against him now.

I just couldn’t watch Newt’s victory speech. Even I have my limits. :)

Newt definitely has the momentum, but I also expect Mitt to be the nominee in the end.

Mitt’s biggest problem to me seems to be that there is no enthusiasm or excitement from his supporters. They seem to only support him only because he’s not Obama. So far his campaign and support for his candidacy could put a pot of coffee to sleep.

I missed all the fun because I was working all day, but it sure seems that things just can’t get any crazier. To me, it seems that the racial hatred wing of the Republican party has now taken control. The party was always racist behind the scenes, but now they’re just being blatantly obvious…..and proud of it.
If any of the remaining candidates can interest both that wing and the evangelical wing, it may just be a real race for Obama. I always joke about Gingrich/Tebow 2012, but maybe now just a bit nervously.

In conclusion…

So, correct me if I am wrong. So far Ron Paul has won, WHAT? along with the Fox gNOpig Propaganda Network supporting him, WHEN?
Frankenstein Face? KKKlownnity?

Relatively speaking, I’ve gone ranking from bad to worst. Or fake to insane in the gNOpig clown car.

I report. You decide.

4 FOUR

Ron Paul
Another clown all over the place.
Perennial loser suggesting to dissolve the Union and let EVERY state decide which laws apply in each. Gold BS proponent because GOLD will prevent the USA to pay in GOLD for Made in China goods or foreign oil. Non-interventionist instances hated by the same entrenched gNOpigs as Mittens and pig Newt. Real Raygun Clownservative Sean KKKlownnity run away from the Ronulans.

Just like Newt, plenty of upside and nothing to lose. Good luck to him prescribing and putting his supporters on suicide watch.

Santorum
No UPSIDE AT ALL
xtian taliban anyone?
That product of a Giggles search was corrected by both KKKlwonitty and Holmes about his WMD claims in Iraq.
Lucky vest? Family playing with a dead baby?
Blah people?

2 TWO

pig Newt:
Upside
Plenty of well oiled connections in DC. Hit or miss, he still lives for another election day, figuratively, to continue throwing his weight around.
Downside
gNOpig family values. Plenty of well oiled connections in DC which he’ll have to please. Not exactly the teabagged type, since he is a gNOpig “intellectual” who attacked Mittens as a LIAR, MODERATE, coward, afraid of releasing his tax returns. Let’s not forget his loose understanding of what the word “ethics” means.

Another one of my rants that I have to break in segments because there is something wrong with the posting box.

1 ONE

I also have said long ago, as the gNOpigs started to jump on their clown car, that Mittens is the most likely to win the gNOpig nomination.

Mittens:
Upside
Plenty of well off connections to support him. None of the sanctimonious garbage of Santorum or Gingrich.
Downside
Stepford wife looks. Plenty of well off connections to influence him. Not a “real xtian” Romneycare. Doesn’t speak ’murkan like the teabagged irritated base.

Ellen: So am I… I know that if Romney threw fits like this, Fox News would have used their influence to force him out of the race.

Well, more of their influence.
Ellen commented 2012-01-21 19:55:37 -0500 · Flag
I’m wondering how many more hissy fits at the “elite” media Gingrich is going to throw before Republicans get sick of him.
