Former speaker of the house and GOP presidential contender Newt Gingrich has been called many things by MSNBC host Chris Matthews during his time in the political spotlight, but a “gaseous state” is indeed a new one.
To kick-off his latest tirade, Matthews played a clip of Gingrich in which he stated:
What you have today is that the rich in Wall Street and the powerful at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had so many politicians beholding to them that in fact nobody was going to check them. And so they got away with things that were absolute baloney. It’s a tragedy.
To which Matthews blasted, “He’s [Gingrich] not a human being, he’s a gaseous state. Isn’t he? I mean Joan, this is like a gaseous state around the world. I mean, this is Newtism.”

Posted on November 16, 2011 at 9:49pmMSLSD… knows how to screw up a really good country. We are **** up economically and Chrissy thinks we should keep spending. We passed 15 Trillion in debt today. There are only 76 million people that actually pay ANY taxes at all. So Chris… do the math and you and your wife need to send in $395,000 to pay your fair share. Then thare are all of the unfunded liabilities that need to be paid to keep the welfare state going too. So please along with your other check please include a check for $2,370,000. Then we will be all caught up.
It has become obvious to me that Obama and our Congress has every intention of bankrupting America. That way they can make into a totally different country… and control our lives. Vote all of them out of office and make the new one’s follow the Costitution.

Posted on November 16, 2011 at 11:50pmChris Matthews is an idiot, but I was not satisfied with the answer Newt gave about working for Freddie Mac. It sounded like, in an interview with Laura Ingraham, that he was paid $1.6 million in order to tell them how to get Republicans to side with them before the collapse of the economy: http://www.thedailycandidate.com/video/2011/nov/gingrich_freddie_cain.html
He helped them get the backing of some influential Republicans and that may have been the nail that keep Freddie and Fannie from being either regulated or turned back to the private sector. Now this is an assumption, he won‘t say what it is about and he won’t divulge the contract on what he was suppose to help them with. We may never know but he is less of a Conservative than Perry and Romney.

There is only one candidate who is baggage free. (He who shall not be named)
Only one who has the most military support. (more than ALL the “R” candidates combined, and even more than ohmamma)
Only one who has a spotless record of fidelity to the Constitution.
Only one who has a spotless record of marriage to his wife over 50 years.
Only one who is not only an economist, but a former air force flight surgeon. (so he knows where to stop the economic bleeding first)
Only one who has the most support of independents, and recovering liberals.
Only one who has put forward a SERIOUS economic plan to cut a TRILLION in spending in the first year, and balance the budget in 3 years, not by “2020.”

The difference between a politician, and a prophet.
A “politician” sits on the hill and watches which direction the people are moving, and then runs out in front of them and says “hey y’all, c’mon this way!”
A PROPHET stands on the hill and says, “HEY, y’all are GOING THE WRONG WAY!”
One is a CHAMPION. The others are CHAMELEONS.

Posted on November 17, 2011 at 12:11pm@JEFFERSON, Newt is definitely bad news. At best, maybe a notch above Obama. The difference – you tell me. They are both for big government, more taxing and more spending. Appears that the Bamster has better family values. Both either do or did approve government mandates for health care. At least Obama says he is for redistribution of wealth and government jobs, which just increase the public dole outlays. Gingrich is too; he just disguises it or flip flops when he screws up or it best suits him. Gingrich isn’t even a good Catholic, and Obama is certainly not a Christian. We could go on and on – very little difference. Why? They both support the establishment and the status quo. Neither are good for the country, and I can not even say that Gingrich would even be a slight improvement. Sad but true. Check his history – not good!
Report Post »Where does that leave us? Haven’t given up on Cain yet, but I’m also taking a closer look at Ron Paul. One thing he is not is a status quo, nor is he a sell out. Pretty much going to have the same old in the Republican Party with a Romney, a Perry, a Huntzman or a Gingrich. Not opposed to Santorum either and have mixed feelings about Bachmann.
Definitely be a plus factor if we got a little direction from God as to whom He felt would be the best option.

They are ALL establishment lackeys.
Cain just met with war criminal Henry Kissinger, who is as crooked as a dog’s hind leg. Kissinger had to resign from the 9/11 commission because he had “too many conflicts of interest.” The dude is about as much a NWO insider as you can get. Here he is calling for a NWO.

You don’t get to be Chairman of the Fed if you are NOT an insider.
Sorry, but Cain is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I sincerely hope people wake up in time. We are in deep trouble if we can’t unite behind a candidate. Many are not going to support another RINO just for the sake of the party. BOTH parties are corrupt. The media is corrupt.
Report Post »It’s a pretty simple formula. Whoever the corrupt MSM (CNN, Fox, MSNBC) circles the wagons against, is the BEST choice for the direction of this country.
The media, who is controlled by the corrupt special interests that got us into this mess in the first place, wants to sell you yet ANOTHER candidate, that will continue the same globalist, spending, debt, anti liberty, anti sovereignty agenda.
