Palin: Obama 'Would Really Fear' Facing Serial Adulterer Who Dumped His Wife In The Cancer Ward

Sarah Palin: Obama 'Would Really Fear' Facing Newt Gingrich (VIDEO)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/07/sarah-palin-obama-newt-gingrich_n_1259718.html

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) continued to show her admiration for GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich on Monday, claiming that he was the one candidate President Barack Obama "would really fear having to debate."

In a discussion with Greta Van Susteren of Fox News, Palin said that Obama's camp was happily gearing up to face Mitt Romney, amid increasing speculation that it is only a matter of time until he locks up the GOP nomination. That would be a mistake, Palin suggested, because it would be ignoring the candidate best suited to defeat Obama: Newt Gingrich.

"Well, I think that Newt Gingrich would be the toughest debater, debating ideas and solutions, and his experience as one who had learned through the Reagan revolution what true conservatism is, and how it is that with foreign policy we need to provide that peace through strength in our world, and how it is that we need to balance budgets and we need to slash budgets because we are going bankrupt, all those things that Newt has talked about in his campaign," Palin said.

"I think that he could most brightly contrast himself against what Obama's failed policies have done to this country through debates. So that's why I say that Obama, I believe, would really fear having to debate Newt Gingrich."

After all, he pulls "facts" out of his pasty white ass, forges ahead as if his every bloviating utterance deserves to be carved in stone, and receives the fawning adulation of the nincompoops who "moderate" these "debates." In such a circus atmosphere, the smart money should always be wagered on the biggest clown.

Now, if you were to have a true debate with moderators who had some bite and more than a soupçon of native smarts, then I'd debate Newt Gingrich anytime, anyplace, and smile the entire time I whupped his ass.

Nootie failed to win these debates: 1) get wife #2 to agree to open marriage; 2) get his congressional caucus to agree to keep him on as Speaker; 3) get the congressional ethics cmte not to fine his sorry ass.

So terrified.

Newt is so powerful and dangerous.

He would be the perfect Republican nominee.

Michele Bachmann was the perfect candidate! She said so herself, probably without realizing that by doing so, she was pronouncing practically every Republican voter to be a nincompoop for not recognizing her intrinsic perfection.

We agree- we'd love for Newt to be the candidate- would be great fun and truly delicious to watch President Obama debating Newt- but alas, it's just not looking all that possible. But, we'd also love to see Newt keep running till Tampa. Would be almost as fun as having her running herself. She really is a piece of work. Counting the days till we see Julianne Moore playing her in Game Change.

I had to re-read it 3 times to try to make sense of the "gobbley-gook speak" that defines Sarah.
Can you imagine having to diagram one of her sentences?
Gawd...she's a fucking dumb-ass.

You remember ... "Lipstick on a pig"


You do know you're smearing lipstick on the biggest pig in the race, don't you?

Newt will try to throw around his distorted facts, but it all boils down to the truth and this is exactly the language Obama speaks.
