Gingrich Suggests Santorum Should Drop Out of Race, Santorum Suggests ‘Grandiose’ Gingrich Is ‘Not Cogent’

Responding to a dig that Rick Santorum isn’t up to the task, intellectually, of running the country, the former Pennsylvania senator leveled his detractor Newt Gingrich, by saying that, “grandiosity has never been a problem with Newt Gingrich.”

Gingrich suggested that Santorum drop out of the race.

“A month ago, he was saying, oh, I’m inevitable. It was, I’m destined to do it,” Santorum said, recalling Gingrich’s confidence ahead of his defeats in Iowa and New Hampshire.

“I was two and 0 going into South Carolina, and I should get out of the race? These are not cogent thoughts. Let’s just be honest,” Santorum scoffed.

“I’m steady. I’m solid. I’m not gonna go out and do things that you’re gonna worry about. I’m gonna make Barack Obama the issue in this campaign.”

Gingrich rejected the “grandiose label,” stating, “This is a grandiose country of big people doing big things.”

Big things, according to Gingrich, include taking over the House of Representatives in 1994.

Santorum then tore down Gingrich‘s claim that he was solely responsible for the GOP’s victory nearly two decades ago. It is a powerful segment. Watch below, courtesy of Mediaite:

      I agree. Santorum is the only honest (and not insane) fellow we have to choose from.
      I was soo glad to see him point out that Mitt is weak on obamacare (a point not made much because Newt is weak too) as well as Newt because he was a supporter of the individual mandate (he says he was wrong now, but what does that tell you about his ideas of personal liberty before-did all of you Newt supporters realize he was one of the founding fathers of the individual mandate?).

      Did the Newt supporters hear he favors a version of amnesty? He said so last night in the debate.

      The attacks on Santorum of late by the Mitt and Paul people were truly disgusting, as Rick has been one of the very few truly conservative fellows you could ever count on in congress,

      Romney is left of center on almost everything (or was until he wanted to run for president)
      Newt has more skeletons than the Cook county morgue; and the recent attack will not be the last revelation of Newt impropriety.

      Santorum LIED during the debate against Dr. Paul!

      Santorum says Dr. Paul has a “50% national right to life voting record” at the 1:48 mark in the video below:

      Ron Paul has 100% right to life voting record!

      Of course not.
      If conservatives actually listened to what he says he would have no supporters among true conservatives.
      I can’t understand what has happened to Sarah Palin.
      I wish Glenn would ask her what is up with her and Newt.
      Is he offering her a place in his losing bid for the presidency?

      . Rick Santorum could not be re-elected in his own district. But he is supposed to be able to be elected President? Mitt Romney lost to John McCain, who lost to Barak Obama, but he is supposted to be able to be elected President? Newt Gingrich, of proven immoral character, who was booted out of the House, who has profited from his political career by very questionable means, and he is supposed to be our number one leader? Then there is Ron Paul, a true Christian, as shown by his life story, no scandals, no “gifts” from lobbyists, always stood up for freedom and the Constitution, is the ONLY one who understands our disasterous money policy and has the courage to address it. The only one to admit that endless foreign wars (not declared by Congress) are bankrupting us. What am I missing?

      @mils

      I agree that Santorum would get owned by Obama in a debate because his record speaks for itself, and in many ways his record mirrors Obama’s..bailouts and all.

      Ron Paul however would destroy Obama, not because of his oratory skills, but rather because he stands against everything that Obama is for.

      Imagine Obama trying to defend the NDAA, the Patriot Act, and the molestations handed out by the TSA.

      No other candidate would have the right to hammer Obama with the Bill of Rights, as Ron Paul is the only one who stands against these crazy laws.

      Paul’s foreign policy is also popular with the exception of the extreme right, so independents, many democrats, and certainly Libertarians would be very attracted to his stance.

      Your claims of Ron Paul being owned by Obama are without basis.

      Ron Paul 2012, or get ready for another 4 years of Obama.

      Divine intervention? You are kidding…right?

      Our real dangers are right here at home, where the Bill of Rights is being dismantled bit by bit, and the establishment Republicans are at the helm of this insanity.

      What good is a foreign policy if the Bill of Rights is dead?

      It sickens me to have to say this, but nnelG has his priorities all backwards, and the fact that he refuses to call the candidates out personally on their views regarding the NDAA, and the likes of the TSA speaks volumes about just how lost he has become.

      I’m no Christian, but I do know the Bible quite well, and those who demand we “protect” Israel seem to forget the fact the the Bible says God will “cause” their enemies weapons to FAIL, and it certainly does not say that we or any foreigners will help to stop anything. It’s all in the hands of God, so why on earth do many of your folks who call yourselves Christians go along with those who say KILL, KILL, when that is the exact opposite of what Jesus said? Is your kingdom earthly, and will God be unable to defend Israel unless we do?

      *shakes head*

      Get your head out of the sand, and come to grips with the fact that if there ever was a 2nd beast, the Neo-Cons are in on it, as they are in full support of the laws that are dismantling the Bill of Rights right before your very eyes, and the Constitution must be destroyed before the NWO can arrive.

      If you really believe in the “Beast”, please my friends, do vote

      FREEDOMLUVER, I’m not sure if I totally understand you correctly, but I would like to clarify my opinion. I personnally consider Santorum a divine intervention in the GOP race based on my opinion of what is one of the key problems with America. The Constitution states that we are given the rights of life,liberty, & the pursuit of happyness. I feel that the right to life is the foundation of all rights, in that you cannot pursue happyness if you have no liberty, & you have no need of liberty if you don’t live. I believe of all the candidates Santorum has not only stated that he is pro-life but has shown it in his personnal life. I realize that we need to weigh all the issues but I start with the foundation & work my way through. This is my own personnal opinion. I also feel that you cannot really understand all the depth of the Bible until you have a persnnal relationship with God (again, my own opinion).

      I too am totally against abortion, and Santorum is certainly not the only pro-life cadidate running.

      What really turns me off about Santorum are his views regarding the Patriot Act, the NDAA, and the DHS/TSA which are all a direct assault on the Bill of Rights.

      The Bill of Rights is the one thing that stands against those who wish to turn us into a total NWO police state, and Santorums support for these Constitution stomping laws demonstrates the fact that either he does not get this…or he does and is downright evil.

      I just can’t see how any Christian could vote for a candidate who litterally stomps on the Bill of Rights, because without the BoR…true tyranny is not only possible, it’s inevitable.

      I appreciate your stand of protecting the unborn and I share your views on this matter, however there is another option available, so there is no way I will be voting for Santorum even if he is nominated given the fact that he backs the means of turning this nation into a true “Beast”.

      Can you imagine the amount of paperwork, time, employees, and tax money our Government, State and Federal, would have to spend and use in order to go over the millions of applications for such an initiative? I guess Gingrich wasn’t kidding when he admitted that he is a “Big Government” Republican. There would be so much corruption, special interest politicians, bias board members, and lobbyists at the feet of such an initiative. And who decides that a grandpa who has been breaking the Law for 25 years gets preference over a mother who has been breaking the law for eighteen years but has three kids, goes to church, has a job, and has five other cousins living here too? The whole idea, though well intended, is insane. And then, Romney goes on to say that we should give them a “temporary visa” so they can get their papers in order and then voluntarily go back to their countries and properly apply, and risk the chance of being denied entry? I understand that they feel a need to help these people out, but the fact of the matter is that WE HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO HELP THEM, nor does our Constitution give these candidates the authority to represent and serve FOREIGN nationals.

      @TeaPartyForRomney Yep. That‘s what I’ve heard too. Often Gingrich would have to be persuaded by other Conservative congressman to go along with their original Contract for America, as he would try to sidestep from it. He was finally ousted by his own Republican colleagues. The fact is that Gingrich was no Fiscal Conservative per se. He was able to balance the budget for the following reason:

      (From the 1998 Senate Budget Committee session)

      Hollings speaking to Greenspan: “What we’ve been doing, Mr. Chairman, in all reality, is taken a hundred billion out of the Social Security Trust Fund, transferring it over to the spending column, and spending it. Our friends to the left here are getting their tax cuts, we getting our spending increases, and hollering surplus, surplus, and balanced budget, and balanced budget plans when we continue to spend a hundred billion more than we take in.”

As a newly-hired Associate Professor of Western Georgia College (around 1973), Newt applied to become the President of the College. The next year, he applied to be the Chairman of the History Department. I laughed reading the article. Also, the picture of Newt back then was great — it reminded me of Dwight Schrupe in “The Office”

    From what I just watched Gingrich just got tore up. I‘m really getting sick of Gingrich’s out of control ego. He is so full of pride he would give Rush Limbaugh a good run for his money (of coarse Rush would win :) ) I’m sick of Gingrich trying to take credit for what over 200 members of congress did. ONE man does not make a country even though Newt sure thinks he does. Newt scares me a bit, I think he likes FDR a bit to much and would look to be almost Dictator like FDR was.

    I’m really disappointed that Sarah Palin endorsed Gingerich. Character still matters, and it’s time we brought it back in America. Why is it we always want to ignore the rap sheet of our candidates? With the human condition as it is, bad people will always seek positions of power, so why don’t we require a higher standard of integrity?

    Bachmann would have been the best one, but it’s definitely not Newt.

He follows not leads. Did you hear what Ron Paul said to him about voting against “right to work” because it was political and Santorum shook his head and agreed.

      As I read these postings about everyone not liking one candidate or another, it is hopeless to please everyone for the GOP nomination. So maybe we should concentrate on pulling the “R” lever for EVERY House and Senate candidate so we can get the ball rolling before this nation is truly gone. If Obama does get re-elected, perhaps they can have him impeached or find enough voter fraud to oust him. If everyone truly loves this country and is frightened by the escalating push by Obama to enforce his agenda quickly, then ALL of us need to back the candidate that wins the nomination. The more I watch the debates the more Newt gets stronger and sharper. The Dems are TERRIFIED of him because he will do the most damage and make Obama look like the incompetent that he is. This morning on Fox I watched a former Louisiana Congressman (R) who served along side Newt. He explained the ethics issues and they were lobbed at Newt from a Democrat majority and they were insignificant. The fine Newt paid was because of a book deal while in office. Hillary did the same and was not brought up on ethics issues and was not fined. Was’t that convenient? Newt has to explain those issues in detail so more Americans understand his past. I was not a Newt fan but he can do a lot of damage to Obama if we sic him on the Dems.

      Roe v. Wade? Allow the states to decide, easy.
      Paul makes way too much sense when he talks about the fed. reserve and the IRS being abolished… both sides of the pork barrell make their trade at the Fed. Res. trough. Paul doesn’t.

      Why don‘t they ask Paul how he’ll dismantle the 5 departments? How he’ll reign in the fed? How he’ll get rid of the IRS?

      “I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!” – Goldwater

      “I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is “needed” before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents’ “interests,” I shall reply that I was informed that their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can.” – Goldwater

      “Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth. And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies. Absolute power does corrupt, and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed. Their mistaken course stems from false notions of equality, ladies and gentlemen. Equality, rightly understood, as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences. Wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.” – Goldwater

      “I’m the most underdog underdog there is.” – Goldwater

      “It is a fact that Lyndon Johnson and his curious crew seem to believe that progress in this country is best served simply and directly through the ever-expanding gift power of the everlastingly growing Federal Government. One thing we all know, and I assure you I do: that’s a much easier way to get votes than my way. It always has been. It’s political Daddyism, and it’s as old as demagogues and despotism.” – Goldwater

      I think “Mr. Conservative” would side with the Small Government candidate that stands for the Constitution, limited Government, private property, free markets, strong national defense, and individual liberty.

      Saying abortion is a States rights issue is not an answer, because right now it’s not. It’s a Federal issue because of Roe v Wade. Ron Paul believes that there is a right to privacy in the Constitution. That kind interpertation of the Constitution is what gave us Roe v Wade to begin with. There is no general right to privacy in the Constitution.

      @nationalcalvin Paul’s intent in supporting State Rights regarding abortion is that Roe vs. Wade would be almost immediately and most easily repealed if each Stated decided the legality. I am a strong advocate of pro-life and don’t think Government should decide. However, if all States have been able to decide that murder is a crime, theft is a crime, bearing false witness under oath is a crime, breaking an entry is a crime, then I’m pretty confident that ending the life of an innocent child in the womb of his mother would be consider a crime also. In fact, within our Common Law, abortion is a crime.

      Here‘s Paul’s legislation:

      Sanctity of Life Act of 2007. H.R. 2597, 2007-06-06, originally H.R. 776, 2005-02-10. For the purposes of statutory construction over the jurisdictional limitation imposed, declares that “human life shall be deemed to exist from conception”. Removes federal court jurisdiction over abortion cases arising from state laws and effectively negates Roe v. Wade as binding legal precedent. Such a law returns to each state the power to decide whether or not abortion should be allowed, banned, or regulated.

      Taxpayers’ Freedom of Conscience Act of 2009. H.R. 1233, 2009-02-26, originally H.R. 1548, 2003-04-01. To prohibit any Federal official from expending any Federal funds for any population control or population planning program or any family planning activity.

      Paul introduced We the People Act. H.R. 539, 2009-01-14. Forbids all federal courts from hearing cases on abortion, same-sex unions, sexual practices, and establishment of religion, unless such a case were a challenge to the Constitutionality of federal law. Makes federal court decisions on those subjects nonbinding as precedent in state courts, and forbids federal courts from spending money to enforce their judgments.

      Paul would define life as beginning at conception by passing a “Sanctity of Life Act”. http://www.ronpaul2012.com/the-issues/abortion/

      “We must stand for life – not allow millions of innocent children to continue to be slaughtered with the government’s approval.” http://www.ronpaul2012.com/the-issues/statement-of-faith/

      “In addition to my time in Congress, I am proud to have delivered over 4,000 babies as a country doctor in Texas. As I trained to practice medicine, I became convinced without a doubt that life begins at the moment of conception. I never performed an abortion, and I never once found an abortion necessary to save the life of the mother. In fact, I successfully helped women struggling with their pregnancies to seek other options, including adoption.” – Ron Paul

      No general right to… privacy… and liberty means to you? Giving the decision back to the states IS the issue. Where does it say in the Constitution that abortion is an interstate commerce issue? No interstate commerce issue… no federal government needed. Remember that part of the Constitution too?

      I understand the ruling and it states privacy as defined by liberty is what brings about the woman’s right to privacy in these abortion cases. But, the federal government also ended any debate a state could have, that would like to be sovereign, constitutionally handling its own affairs within its own borders that don’t involve other states. The courts never should have heard the cases and as many judges also find… ruling on these abortion cases becomes a waste of time as the appeal process is always much longer than 9 months.

      Look into it, Roe V. Wade is also an advisory decision but it’s considered case-law for some odd reason.

      @nationalcalvin Once again, Paul takes a strict stance one what he can vote on based on federal powers allowed in the Constitution, and considering what Powers are left or allowed for the States. The man is clearly pro-life though. I think he sees our best chance of repealing Roe vs. Wade by letting the States outlaw abortion, without having the federal Government (all three branches) prohibiting them from doing so. He does not believe that women have a right to privacy and thus entitled to an abortion. I think he sees State Rights as the solution of ending abortion. You cannot deny that most States would easily and most quickly (in contrast to the federal process) ban abortions.

      “As President, I give you my word that I will only exercise my authority within the confines of the Constitution, and I will work every day to rein in a runaway federal government by binding it with the chains of that d o c u m e n t.” – Ron Paul

      Unfortunately, the way our Courts work today, statutory law is deemed more binding than our traditional Common Law. If we as a Nation would still uphold that great bulwark of Rights and Precepts passed down by our Judges, abortion, same-sex marriage, and other social issues would be resolved quickly, and nationwide, without having Politicians decide, more Government solutions, or big Government interfere.

      There is no right to privacy in the Constitution. The idea of a right to privacy came about in 1965 in the case of Griswold v Connecticut. It was a perversion of the law used to further a social agenda.

      @nationalcalvin I agree that “the right to privacy” for the justification of an abortion was unprecedented and a perversion of that right. I honestly believe that Liberals, with the help of Progressives, were throwing anything out there that would stick and support their immoral, violent, irresponsible and wicked behavior. The right to privacy ends when another life is involved. As Paul said, there are two patients.

      @nationalcalvin Here’s what Paul said, “It is now widely accepted that there’s a constitutional right to abort a human fetus. Of course, the Constitution says nothing about abortion, murder, manslaughter, or any other acts of violence. Criminal and civil laws were deliberately left to the states.

      I consider it a state-level responsibility to restrain violence against any human being. I disagree with the nationalization of the issue and reject the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in all 50 states. Legislation that I have proposed would limit federal court jurisdiction of abortion, and allow state prohibition of abortion on demand as well as in all trimesters. It will not stop all abortions. Only a truly moral society can do that.

      The pro-life opponents to my approach are less respectful of the rule of law and the Constitution. Instead of admitting that my position allows the states to minimize or ban abortions, they claim that my position supports the legalization of abortion by the states. This is twisted logic.”
