OMFG! I just had a great laugh! Delusion coupled with insane Epic Failisms from The Newt!


Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich gives President Barack Obama only a 20 percent chance of being reelected — and says he might be the one to give Obama the boot.

Gingrich, who this week published a book called “To Save America: Stopping Obama’s Secular-Socialist Machine,” said he thinks Obama has “about one chance in five of getting reelected.” and called him “the closest thing to Jimmy Carter I’ve seen.”

“Because he’s so radical, you’re now going to have, I think, the most consequential campaign since 1932,” when Franklin D. Roosevelt clobbered President Herbert Hoover, Gingrich said.

Giving predictions for November’s midterms, Gingrich said House Republicans will pick up “somewhere between 40 and 65 or 70 seats” — enough to gain control of the House. “I believe John Boehner will be speaker in January,” he said.

Bookmark this. I would welcome Newt sparing with Sarah and Mitt in a double-down calamity of outdoing the other with dumbshit antics that appeal to 15% of the American populace... the same ones who can't point out where the US is on a World map.

Bring it, Newt. And expect some serious ass-kicking...

11. I guess Rove passed the baton and Newt has the new math. I
think a Mormon will be president before a man named Newt is. Apologies to the Geico Gecko.

2. The newt bears a LOT of responsibility for the current disfunction of politics
His teachings (Goebbels teachings, actually) re using propaganda in place of reality and substance sent America a generation of GOP pols who truly believe 'he who shouts loudest, longest, last' wins.

He is a blight on democracy and America. And his morals leave much to be desired, which will make him a target even Sister Sarah can take out.

9. +1000
Newton and his minions really ushered in the toxic era of batshit insanity, screechfests, party loyalty above all else, and anti-science fundie-ism...Although it was already dying at the time, he is also the person who put the final stake through the pretense of bi-partisanship, and doing something for the good up the country...


people have short memories and Newton has done a lot of whitewashing of his public image over the years...

14. and family values, do not EVER let America forget how Newt really treats family
Divorcing wife one while she fights for her life against cancer. Ducking spousal support to the point her utilities were gonna get shut off if not for the help she got from her church congregation. Fucking around on wife #2 with future wife #3 (ok, wife #2 actually had that coming, but Newt is still a newt for continuing his philandering ways)

Wish I still had the New Yorker Magazine bio on the newt from 95 or so. It was most enlightening. If the reptile ever has the balls to actually run for anything again, I would advise DEM opponent to look that one up, along with all the facts on the pork he delivered to his home district while complaining about government spending and pork.

13. Plus, as Speaker, he was the most radical who ever lived. His draconian changes to
the seniority system, the committee process, the Rules Committee, centralizing enormous power in the Office of the Speaker---not to mention, the epic fail of the Contract With America. The only plank of the 10-point platform was ending welfare as we knew it. Other than that, the CWA did nothing! I'd like to see Newtie run on that, plus his failure to get Clinton thrown of office; plus, his failure to gain more Republican seats in 1998.

Epic Fail, Newtie!!! Take your racist, pasty ass home!
