Peter King: "The whole country would be in danger if Gingrich is elected."

[Renew Deal]

I'd love to see Peter Kings convention speech if Gingrich is nominated.

<snip>
"As Republicans, we cannot afford him to be our nominee," said King, according to a transcript sent out by the Romney campaign. "The House is on the line this year. I believe we can take back the Senate. We have to win the presidency. Having Newt at the top puts all of that in danger. And then, if he were elected president, to me the whole country would be in danger."

1. We have done gone completely through the looking-glass here, we are in mirror-land. nt

[Jackpine Radical]

2. I agree with Peter King on the danger thing.

But then I also think the country would be in danger if Santorum, Paul, Romney, Huntsman, Christie, or any other Republican were elected.

[bemildred]

3. I have not heard this sort of knife-fighting among the Pubbies since Goldwater.

The hinge of history is moving again ...

[ewagner]

9. Agree...n/t

[DesertFlower]

17. i agree. nt

[Drale]

4. This country is fucked

if any of those nutjobs are elected

[xtraxritical]

21. Country already fucked by GOP House of Reptilians.

[BeyondGeography]

5. What these guys don't get when they panic it only encourages a lot of people

As in, Dear Peter King, You and all the other DC lifers SUCK and you can KISS MY ASS.

Creative destruction and all that...

[SammyWinstonJack]

6. Any of those gop clowns elected pres. puts the whole country in danger, the world too.

[lapislzi]

7. Holy shit. My head may explode.

I agree with Peter King on something, albeit for different reasons.

[stevenleser]

31. If you follow him, interspersed with outrageous things,he comes out with one of these every so often

He is probably one of the more reasonable folks in the Repug caucus. I'd still work hard to replace him with a Democrat, but there are plenty of folks I'd work to replace first.

[WI_DEM]

8. This makes me want Newt to be the nominee even more.

[Iliyah]

10. I don't quite

understand this logic. King is a total sociopath as well as Newt. Y'think they would be holding hands at this point. Heck all the tea brats should be holding hands at this point and pull for Newt.

News alert - Most of the goppers in the lime light are nutso, including Mittens.

[AllyCat]

11. Electing ANY of the Republicans would put the country in danger, but I bet

all these GOPers will support whoever their nominee is in the end.

[Cali_Democrat]

12. How would Gingrich be any more dangerous than Willard?

I fail to see the distinction.

[Lucky Luciano]

24. Gingrich is clearly orse than Romney. Gingrich is really really evil. nt

[annabanana]

13. This is the ONLY thing this fucker has EVER said that made a lick of sense.

I really hate this schmuck - can you tell?

[Dawson Leery]

14. Ill Tempered Authoritarian Peter King rejects fellow Ill Tempered Authoritarian Newt Gingrich

Ironic

[Mr. Sparkle]

15. Newts beady eyes really freaked me out last night.

It was every time he put on his fake laugh.

[Liberalman777]

16. The Whole Country Will Be In Danger IF ANY Republican is Elected!

Corporatism will rule the land for good and forever if the Republicans regain Control of the White House. Obama is our only hope to keep the Middle Class in tact!

[thelordofhell]

18. The enemy of my enemy

Is still a fucking nutjob

[yellowcanine]

19. This is the only time I have already agreed with Peter King that I know of.

Proving once again that even douche bags get it right occasionally.

[Javaman]

20. king is an asshole...

his choice is: don't vote for the facsist, vote for the corporatist.

fuck him. if that's the kind of choice is promoting for the US, then he's just as fucked up as those two assholes.

the lizard nor the empty shirt are neither viable candidates.

While I have my issues with Obama, I would be damned if I don't vote for him.

To me, the choice is sane human or a batshit crazy fill in th blank corporate controled repuke.

[stevenleser]

32. Newt's worse than a run of the mill fascist. He is a megalomaniacal fascist.

There is really something wrong with this guy.

[Tx4obama]

22. K & R n/t

[Louisiana1976]

23. K&R!

[Obamacare]

25. AKA

He'll never be president, because he would lose to Obama in the GE.

[mwooldri]

26. "The whole country would be in danger if [any Republican] is elected".

There, fixed that for you, Congressman King. Or as a British Labour MP stated at one time "an apologist for terrorism".

[glowing]

27. ...And that's coming from Peter King..LOl

[IDemo]

28. Next up: Pat Robertson will say America deserved Gingrich

[RoccoR5955]

29. This guy is such a tool...

That if Noot got the nomination, he would spin on a dime to endorse him, and deny that he ever said this. Anyone who knows Pete King, knows that this is the honest truth.

[Initech]

30. Gingrich is easily the scariest candidate of them all!

Do we really want him in charge of picking the next two or 3 justices for SCOTUS? Hell no!!!

[LeftishBrit]

33. This is the first time I've ever agreed with Peter King on anything!
