" So I think the objective of ABC was to take Mitt out this week, or to just do damage. And I think they were saving Marianne Gingrich for Monday after the vote, after Newt wins or theoretically wins South Carolina, then they run the Marianne interview, and that takes Newt out of, and then who we left with?"
“As far as they’re concerned, Santorum and Ron Paul. And they think, okay, that’s it, Obama’s won now, and there’s nothing the Republicans can do. Drudge, on the 14th anniversary of posting the Lewinsky story, runs his story last night that ABC’s got this Marianne tape, and they’re in this big ethical debate over when to run it, which forced them to move it up. In my opinion – I’m guessing – but from everything I’ve read, I think that their decision was to wait 'til Monday on the Marianne thing after South Carolina, 'cause the indications are that Newt was gonna win there or get very, very close, and if that happened, it would be because ABC thinks they took Romney out this week with all the stories that they’ve run on the Mormon church and the 15% tax rate and the Caymans and who knows what else. Do you know, somebody has assigned a reporter to check into the polygamy of Romney’s grandfather.”
Drudge Screwed Up ABC’s Plans for the Marianne Gingrich Interview
“Now, if Newt can hold onto enough of the Republican base, he might take 20% of the Democrat vote with this. You know how this stuff is a resume enhancement in the Democrat Party.”
Rush is just propagandizing…just like he did for Herman Cain…
[Funny how Rush thinks both Romney & Gingrich are the ones who can beat Obama … BOTH establishment , types connected to billionaire donors. ]
Drudge was helping Romney yesterday. Now he’s hurting ABC?
the hypocrisy of the Right, as sour grapes because the Left control the media.
As if the Right could control the media, they wouldn’t do the same things?? Puhlease.
In this case, that’s what
exactly what they’re doing on their own side — from what areas, markets, they DO control.
So they practice sweeping the question of “character” under the rug by focusing on the media victimization. Using the mindset, ’ that because the Left has double standards? We have to tell voters not to pay attention.
Therefore, they take on some, retributive, action of the misuse of Old Law. They "covered for Kennedy! " and fan ire against the media. Not the content or verification of the media’s actual content and truth.
Falling back on the Eye for an Eye approach. They can’t see how they are not acting on behalf of truth and impartiality.
Ergo, all Talk Radio, covers for Newt Gingrich rather than sitting down and questioning if Newt has proven he has the “character” to go against Obama?
And do they really want to risk, allowing him to make it through? If this stuff occurs in November?
Even Sarah Palin, went down in my estimation when she gave Gingrich a pass, and is being selective.
i.e. Says all candidates need to be vetted, dismisses the wife, as if she knows that 2nd wife?
Anyone who thinks one’s tribe is without blemish is foolish.
The GOP is completely guilty of this when they are caught in hypocritical positions because the standards they seek to uphold, are just a wee bit higher than the Democrats.
Instead of being proud to uphold it. They complain against the Democrats holding us to it.
The question isn’t even if Newt should be forgiven, and had affairs.
It’s can we trust he is being honest?
…and that’s what the ex wife — that is all she is doing.
If the GOP was so sure of Gingrich they would be less reactionary.
Newt Gingrich wouldn’t have that PHONY SENSE OF MORAL INDIGNATION" that he did tonight in the debate.
Now GOP partisans are trying to say he won the debate with that prepared act because they are partial and without discernment. They want to be impressed. They don’t want to hear or parse his words of what he is really saying.
For instance, If he truly was a changed man.
He would have been sad and heartbroken, for what he did then, and been more serene about it.
Instead he pointed the finger back which was totally different than his demeanor in November when he welcomed ALL scrutiny.
His debate grandstanding, may have fooled some. But me?
I’m not going to be conned by him as a voter.
Do not be fooled when one Party claims to be the Party of Christ with Winks and Nods. Get lost Gingrich. You have no business trying to say you’re for family values. And using your political production team to make a DVD about our past Holy Father during the run-up-to a 2012 campaign.
Political parties be damned… The worst part is, in the public life, the wisdom of the media is not to even look to moral leaders. And that scandalizes the children, by promoting this sense of indifference for one’s personal sins, and the exploitation of “non-judgmentalism” couched in a false application of Christ’s words. I’ve seen more **“who cares about one’s character. Can he lead??” ** by Republicans and conservatives all over the place, whomever is supporting or thinking of supporting Gingrich. Also fingers pointed to worse “sinners”
You can know a lot. But in order to be wise, you have to be good. The late Fulton Sheen said this. As I have seen others quote him from his EWTN clips.
This is why it’s liberating to know you have to ONLY stand and run to Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
