Romney Campaign Sent Gingrich a Cake Marking Anniversary of House Reprimand

Romney Campaign Sent Gingrich a Cake Marking Anniversary of House Reprimand

 

Surging Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has had his career altered on January 21 before, and the campaign of rival Mitt Romney sent the former Speaker of the House a reminder of that this Saturday on the day of the South Carolina Republican primary.

The Hill reports that Romney’s campaign sent a press release wishing Gingrich a “happy anniversary” for the House decision to reprimand him, which happened on January 21, 1997.

Headlined “Happy 15th Anniversary, Mr. Speaker,” the release said, “Fifteen years ago today, Newt Gingrich became the first House speaker in American history to be reprimanded by his colleagues.”

The Romney campaign told Fox News that they had planned to deliver an anniversary cake to Gingrich’s South Carolina headquarters to mark the occasion on Saturday. CNN’s Political Desk Editor Marlena Baldacci tweeted a picture of the cake at around 6p.m. Saturday.

Given that projections of the South Carolina GOP Primary have Gingrich ahead of Romney, the former Speaker may have the last laugh.

    I will support whoever is nominated to run against President Obama. That said, I have always thought Romney was Obama-white, huh, I meant to say Obama-light, no, Obama-lite, yes, that’s it, Obama-lite. Coming from the same mind-set just much smarter and coming from a better family. On the plus side he doesn‘t hate business and doesn’t want to destroy the country, got to be grateful for what we can get. Don’t forget to vote, it’s important. Personally, I hope to be voting for Newt, he’s my kind of guy.

      Newt is a big government progressive with an ego bigger than the country. Look at all of his “ideas”. They involve Government, Government, Government. Why? It is all he knows. Sure, he might be a smart guy… who only knows Government. We complain about Obama not having any experience running anything… well Newt was House Speaker and his own colleagues threw him out. This election should be a referendum on Barry, but with Newt running… it will not. It is far easier to spin this around and making it about Newt. Democrats and the media want Newt, it is their only hope.

      Anyone but Obama… and anyone but Newt.

      That’s ancient history. The fact that Gingrich was fined by the House for ethical violations, and the fact that he was deposed as Speaker by his peers, including Boehner, is history. Gingrich has asked for and received God’s forgiveness for that as well as for the adulterous affairs. Clean slate. Nobody cares about the events of the last forty years of his life because, as someone said, he’s what a smart person sounds like to stupid people.

      Tomorrow I’m starting my own PAC: Democrats for Gingrich. I for one think he has what it take to become the Republican nominee for President of the United States! Go Newt.

      The false and hypocritical outcry about the release of damaging information regarding his ‘private life’ just sunk him in my book. When Herman Cain was going through the same thing, he was content to sit back and let him take the heat, knowing it would leave one less candidate for the nomination. Now when his chances are threatened by the same type of information, he calls its release despicable??!!! Sorry Newt, you are a dirtbag, no matter how well you debate and orate…sounds a little like the POTUS doesn’t it?

      No you are wrong. Nancy couldn’t drain the swamp because the EPA would had to come in and file a motion for her to put the swamp back. You can’t destroy a wetland, even if it is on land you own. The EPA knows best and only they have the foresight to a wetland when they see it. In fact, if they whipped out their male anatomy and took a pee, that would constitute a wetland.

      Romney and Gingrich are both NCA (No Class Acts) and embarassment to conseratives, like me who believe in free will, opportunity and capitalism! This act and their on-going childish behavior is foolish.

      They both need to go after to the source of the United States ills and attack Obama! Then they can push harder at each other! Romney is a want-a-bee “Chicken in Chief’”, sending a cake rather than openly getting the report on Gingrich and commenting on it!

And why am I to believe there’s more in the ethics charges through the lips of Nancy Pelosi the truth finder you remember her have to pass this bill to see what is in it. Or our current House Speaker who was behind the original plot to out the then speaker of the house Newt Gingrich along with Tom DeLay Bill Paxton and Dick Armey. And as far as John Sununu did he not have his own ethics filings and and resign? And tea party for Romney being of the tea party I don’t recall seeing your famous Mitt Romney standing up for the middle class in the last election cycle photos anyone? I don‘t ever recall seeing him at any events if he was really for the small peons and wanted the presidency so bad I would think he would have made it a point to help out a just cause don’t you concur?

      Why do you think Santorum‘s veins were about to pop out of his neck when he was discussing Newty’s tenure as Speaker of the House-the 3rd highest office in the land……and the loons in SC think he is the best GOP candidate to fill the highest office in the land as President?? Unbelievable!

Regardless of your opinion, Mitt Romney disgraced himself with this distasteful prank. And by the way….. Mitt’s proclivity to “hold back” is represented by his disappointing unwillingness to fight Obama and to his continual kissing of Obama’s boots – not his childish ability to attack fellow Republicans.

    Gingrich should send a cake to romney”s wife wishing her luck in that her salvation into the celestial mormon heaven is dependent on if her husband wants her there or not. Who treats their women as subservient? Which is worse, divorce or your salvation dependent on your mormon man?

      Nice answer common…… Explain? Maybe, oh wait, they could be called up in ressurection by the man or not. Or Not? So the resurrection, especially into the hihgest level of celestial IS dependent on what the man wants.

      @commoncents….. LDS Apostle Erastus Snow preached the following on Sunday, Oct. 4, 1857:

      Do the women, when they pray, remember their husbands?… Do you uphold your husband before God as your lord? “What!—my husband to be my lord?” I ask, Can you get into the celestial kingdom without him? Have any of you been there? You will remember that you never got into the celestial kingdom [during the temple ceremony] without the aid of your husband. If you did, it was because your husband was away, and some one had to act proxy for him. No woman will get into the celestial kingdom, except her husband receives her, if she is worthy to have a husband; and if not, somebody will receive her as a servant. (Journal of Discourses, vol. 5, p. 291)

      TKETTERER: What form of Christianity collar do you wear? Sounds like you have a bug under your collar against Mormons. Why might anyone’s forthcoming “hereafter” concern you at a time when our country is in serious peril? Obviously the Romney family stands strong in their faith and provide a wonderful example to us all. We should all be so exemplary.

      grandam,,,,you obviously have fallen for the facade of mormonism. You haven’t had to deal with their underhanded “lying for the lord” or their ‘milk before meat.“ Until you actually research what this ”faith” is all about, and not just from someone on a bike at your door, since they have no clue either, then you can talk to me about mormonism.

      @tk

      You can quote comments made by individual members of the church, even our apostles and prophets, all you like, but they are just men with high callings and even higher expectations, and as such, just like Moses, Jonah, Peter, Paul, and John, they bring their opinions and personal interpretations to the table, and at times will be mistaken. (We do not believe in infallibility.) These statements have to be canonized by unanimous vote to be considered doctrine for the church, otherwise they are merely indicators of their personal faith at the time they opened their mouths.

      Having said that, and having read what you wrote, I find it disheartening that a Christian (I can only assume your status by the degree of concern you have regarding Mormon doctrine) would wholesale swallow such a poor excuse for a man as Newt Gingrich, and think, fully knowing his history of infidelity, not only to his legal spouses, but to his party and to conservatism as a whole, that he is your guy. It is apparent that your principles have been put away for the time being as you consume yourself with defeating Romney.

      Please, all those who feel the same way, don’t coalesce behind Gingrich, at least vote Santorum, he is a better man, and would make a better President than Newt could ever have a grandiose dream, or use grandiose legislation, to become.

      You are a despicable religious bigot. Romney is an extremely intelligent, talented and capable leader. He has the best organized campaign. He has considerable business and government executive experience. His business, political, and personal life are outstanding. He is a very well qualified candidate who only desires to serve his country, never having accepted pay for public service. The Constitution forbids consideration of a candidate’s religion as a prerequisite for office. You, sir, are an un-American bigot to condemn Romney due to his religion. Reagan surrounded himself with hardworking, honest Mormons in his administration. Enough said.

      @readright…I will do whatever it takes to defeat romney and the government infiltration of mormonism, freemasonry and whatever else secret there is in that”faith.” Newt on his indescresitions doesn’t compare to romney on abortion in my opinion. You all can blast me all you want, but I have researched and researched because of what your “faith” has done to families that I know and the way i have been treated in business by you “faith”. I’m a bigot? So be it to defeat Satanism. Anit-mormon in 3…2…1

    These political candidates are almost as mean and nasty to each other as we are! I mean, I have read some heated comments today. Is all that really necessary?

    Anyone who wants to be the president has to have more than one loose screw. I suppose some still feel a duty to serve. Serve what? The American people? The ones who spew such hatred at anything and everything? You try to do your best and you will only be hated and criticized.

    Why would any sane person bother?

      But you trust Newt? The cake is funny, and fitting, and witty, and perfectly appropriate after using the debate stage to gang up on Romney to release his income tax returns, in front of the entire country, using the fear mongering rhetoric of “We need to know before its too late if we are going to have surprises…blah, blah, blah.” As if it wouldn‘t be even more useful to know what Newt’s skeletons look like.

      may want to do yourself a favor and go to Wikipedia punch in private equity firms and read up on it, there is a massive difference between being a venture capitalist and one who engages in private equity firms.For me I’m not worried about 2010 and 2009 tax returns insomuch as the ones from 1984 to 1999 when the gentleman was at the helm of this Corporation.

      The public record isn’t what Romney is asking for. (IRS records aren’t public until a candidate releases them, either.) The threat was released, foolishly of course, by Pelosi. She was on that committee, and she knows things that would cripple Newt. Newt was right to threaten her with rule violations, but he could certainly choose to make the closed record public, just as he is asking Romney to do with his returns. Newsflash, If Nancy knows, than so do others. It will come out, and if Newt has already been crowned the victor and our Hail Mary pass to defeat Obama, and what surfaces is worse than oil in the gulf, were had. I like the cake, I like the joke and the taunt. Much better than using a national stage to pin Romney to the wall to have to release his returns sooner than normally expected. Newt played a game, and with cunning strategy turned the tables on Romney. He gets points for that. But is that the kind of guy you want reclining at the Big Desk? I sure as freak do not, and I find it quite telling that so many in SC have no scruples in supporting such a piece of political work.

      Voting for Newt will be regretted, maybe even more so than voting for Obama.
