‘Unforgivable’: Intense Video Captures Iowa Voter Calling Gingrich ‘Embarrassment’ for Ryan Remarks

This was the spontaneous encounter that Newt Gingrich absolutely did not need today. Already in damage control for his comments implying that Rep. Paul Ryan’s plan to fix Medicare amounted to “right-wing social engineering,” and the fuzziness of his how his views on individual healthcare mandates might differ from Obamacarian ones, Gingrich had even posted a video clarifying his views. And then this happened. Just one of those chance meetings in the lobby of a Holiday Inn that can prove enormously problematic for a presidential candidate. Key part of the clip hits about 1:40:
Here’s my best attempt at a transcript:
Guy: Speaker Gingrich, what you just did to Paul Ryan is unforgivable.
Gingrich: I didn’t do anything to Paul Ryan!
Guy: Yes, you did. You undercut him and his allies in the house.
Gingrich: No, I…
Guy: You’re an embarrassment to our party.
Gingrich: I’m sorry you feel that way.
Guy: Why don’t you get out before you make a bigger fool of yourself.
At least the guy was polite enough to call him Speaker Gingrich!
The Des Moines Register (h/t Hot Air) identifies the man as Russell Fuhrman, a Dubuque resident who just happened to be in the hotel when he encountered Gingrich.

Posted on May 16, 2011 at 8:52pmI agree w/what he said. I don’t want social engineering from either side. I don’t think he was attacking the right…w/that being said, I’m actually kind of glad this is happening to him because he is not the right candidate for this time in history…if he ever was. He does not have the backbone to do the difficult things our country needs at this point in history. Put very simply, he‘s too much of a politician that’s been in DC too long. So sorry Newt, but I’m not that sorry and good riddance (hopefully).

No plan can survive if it relies on an ever decreasing base to provide for those on it, We have a declining workforce here. Two main reasons have led to that. One is the increasing influence of unions over blue collar jobs, ie, manufacturing. Two is the ever increasing intrusion of governement into the profitabilty of remaining businesses. Limit or remove these two factors and this country would still be on top. Allow them to continue and we will DEVOLVE into a chaotic mess ripe for exploitation by those who dont have our best interests in mind.

As much as they disgust us, as much as we may not like it we need to lovingly call them out. If we do not make huge improvements in 2012 I fear there will be war within this nation, and I only pray that we succeed in restoring our Constitution and fix the progressive Amendments while we are at it. 16th, 17th, and clarify the 14th so that revisionists can’t use it to give illegals who give birth here a way to stay. The original intent of the 14th Amendment was to give citizenship to those who were brought here for the purpose of servitude, as well as those of later generations who are born here of parents who are not foreigners or owe allegiance to a foreign power. Those fixes would take away the arguments that Progressives use to grant illegals citizenship, collect federal taxes on our personal property, and put the power of the electing US Senators back in the hands of the States…we can more closely control our own States and local gov‘ts than we can the Federal Gov’t, which was the original intent of the Constitution to begin with.

Posted on May 16, 2011 at 10:39pmlet‘s point out some thing about Newt’s remarks:
On Hannity he always talks about the “American people” as if he is a political shepherd trying to herd us into the most comfortably railed pen.
If he could just get the “American People” to understand this or that about healthcare……
He is so out of touch and so clueless about being out of touch, I’m actually giggling.
REMEMBER:”Forget about my past, Judge me now” -Newt
TRY:” Forgive me for my past, Judge me now”- Sincere acknowledgement of WRONG DOING

Report Post »We Constitutionalists have to get behing one person sooner rather than latter and not let the establishment win. We DO NOT want to be McCained again while breaking up the conservative vote 6 ways. We need a government of the people for the people by the people. They have to be sharp and leadership quality. Cain, Santorum, maybe Bachman or West. Those are our choices and 2 are not in.

Posted on May 17, 2011 at 12:06amIt’s cool, “tea party constitutionalists when it supports my theocratic state” will resort to Romney, and then I’ll laugh hysterically as our country dies in a fire.
Wake up people, the only person tackling issues, and fighting an uphill battle with the media is Ron Paul.

Posted on May 17, 2011 at 12:06amWe need not accept, what Dem-light, sends our way. In our heads, in our hearts, we know what must be done. Irregardless of what the trolls who visit this site say, we are a nation of laws, a nation of values, and a nation of right over wrong. As a nation we shall live by the rights that nature’s law gave us, or die defending them, What the trolls, LSM, and the REGIME fail to recognize is, we will defend, and we will live for what we are entitled to. Those rights that cannot be legislated, executive ordered away from us. The left welcomes a response, they want it, sad to say is, when we respond with the conviction of our beliefs and for the defense of our families, it will mean the end of them. They see it grow everyday, the resistance, the anger, the self preservation which made our nation, is still alive. You are your own first responder. Hold on, and stay the course.

Posted on May 17, 2011 at 5:36amI used to have respect for Newt. But I suppose that probably stems from the fact that I wasn’t old enough to understand politics during the 90s.

Posted on May 17, 2011 at 5:40amRon Paul may have stumbled across a brilliant and righteous ideology, but he is a crackpot. He can’t articulate anything to save his life. He believes that today’s society is prepared for a total legalization of drugs. Its not. We have to clean up our progressive utopias (run-down, crime-ridden cities) before we can ever foist pure libertarianism on this country. We still need SOME government, just much, much less of it.
Oh, and contrary to Ron Paul’s crackpot thinking, we still need a military. We can’t just say “we don’t wanna play anymore” and expect that Jihadi Islam will quit too. China is also getting ballsy.

Posted on May 17, 2011 at 6:39amI‘m just glad he’s showing himself this early–saves a lot of voters heartache later on. He’s a throwback and career politician. Just what this country doesn’t need. How serious a candidate was he really? I mean, couldn’t he have hit the gym a few times to get rid of that spare tire before announcing? Yes we need someone with the right message but in this day and age it sure helps if you are a visually appealing human specimen. I‘m thinkin’ West/ Rubio. Ohhh yeahhhh.

Posted on May 17, 2011 at 8:55amNewt has been campaigning and speaking to reporters for the last 20 years, he should know by now how the press works. It wasn’t a gotcha, it was one of those,“redistribute the wealth” moments like Obama had during his campaign where he said what he really meant.

I have lived in Georgia my entire life. I, too, have voted Republican. I am a conservative independent, Christian, white, yadda yadda yadda.
You left Georgia, Al Gore left Tennesse, expect the same treatment that Gore received from his “home” state if you continue. Get out now, you are an embarr ass ment.

Posted on May 17, 2011 at 6:28pm@Mario, I agree except for one modification. Make it Bachmann/Cain. Together, they can both begin the process of implementing the Fair Tax and dismantling the IRS which will no longer be needed. Can‘t wait to see Ed Schultz’s head explode. He will need lots of duct tape.
