Gingrich to Mitt: Do "You think you can lie your way to the presidency?"

[denem]

“I’m standing there (at the debate) thinking to myself, ‘You think you can lie your way to the presidency? You think it’s possible in America today, even to be this dishonest?’” Gingrich said in the Bloomberg interview. “There was no way in that kind of setting to demonstrate to people what a fundamentally dishonest man I was up against.”

There's no turning back now.

1. The man just went all in...

You can't step back from a comment like that! lol Gingrich just found a crack in the of the GOP exterior and drove a fucking axe into the damn thing.

Aahh yeaahh!! Sweet dreams are made of these moments...

If Gingrich doesn't win the nomination, he's finished. 3rd party time.

9. Yep, there is no way he endorses Romney after quotes like that.

I think he is seriously going to try to go all the way to the convention and be the conservatives/teaparties voice and a thorn in the side of Romney.

2. God, what a great primary they are having.

Romney has taken the "I'm flawless" (Obama style) approach, while Newt is taking the "I'm human here I am" approach, and he's not giving up. With regards to deception, I stand with Newt. With regard to policy, Romney's would probably be more sane. Who will they choose? Its so exciting!!!

12. Oh, what a birthday present!

My birthday is tomorrow. I can't think of a better birthday present than seeing these two morons beat each other to a pulp! I don't need a birthday cake, I'm just going to crack open another jar of Orville Reddenbacher's! i just want to see Newt run over with a steamroller!

[SaintPete]

14. Happy Birthday Joe Bacon

What do you want from Florida? A Newt or a Mitt? Neither will be in great shape after tomorrow, and maybe that's the best gift we can offer you from down here.

[Joe Bacon]

22. MORE POPCORN!

I love this, they are beating each other to a pulp. And since Newt isn't on the ballot in Missouri, that may give Santorum a chance to win there!!!

[napoleon_in_rags]

21. Happy B-day!

Its been entertaining too. From the news, it looks like Romney is coronated at this point though, which means the fun diminishes...

[Skittles]

3. LOLOL

a repuke complaining about lying and dishonesty

[Firebrand Gary]

4. Betting the house.

Good for Gingrich, I guess if you are going to go at it, best give it your all.

[Journeyman]

5. But Obama lies all the time, or so Gingrich & the Republicans would have everyone believe. . .

How will Gingrich ever hope to best an "inveterate, congenital liar" like Obama when he can't handle someone who, as a Republican, is by definition incapable of dishonesty (if Republican propaganda is to be believed)?

Damn, the webs they weave capture only themselves . . .

[davidpdx]

6. He can lie his way to the nomination

That's for sure.

[lovemydog]

7. Lying, then calling other people liars

is the republican equivalent of 'have a nice day.'

[Owlet]

8. He's only saying what many here believe

..that Mitt is a liar. Of course, Newt is also a liar, but, then, both are republicans so it comes naturally to them.

[Frustratedlady]

10. This is costing me an arm and a leg...

in popcorn. Did you EVER think this campaign would turn so dirty? I look for them to return to the days of duels.

[DCBob]

11. I think Gingrich is commited to going all the way to the convention.

Gingrich has nothing to lose and he could gain alot. He might end up being the conservative/teaparties voice at the convention and could cause all sorts of problems for the GOP. Nice!

[Amonester]

23. Maybe the party owners will show him the door before that.

You know, small planes and all that...

[NYC Liberal]

13. Unspoken: "You think you can lie your way to the presidency [better than I can]?"

[Bodhi BloodWave]

19. you know, there is one song that fits this situation perfectly :D

*snickergrins*

[Renew Deal]

15. Gingrich is nuts

[denem]

16. Hatred isn't nuts

It's just hatred. You, I and Newt agree: 'Mitt Romney will never be President of the United States', and Next,

bless his backers, has a bigger megaphone than either you or I, or 95+% of voters.

Gggooooo Nnneeeewwwwttt!!

(That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

17. No. Mittens thinks he can BUY his way to the presidency!

[TwilightGardener]

18. "Because that was MY plan."

[DavidDvorkin]

20. It worked for Newt's hero, Reagan.

24. mikeytherat to Newt: "Do you?"
