Los Angeles, CA – Newt Gingrich is trying to reboot his troubled presidential bid.

The former House speaker is giving a foreign policy address Sunday night in Los Angeles in which he charges the Obama administration with placing “political correctness above common sense” when it comes to global affairs.
The speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition is Gingrich’s first since his campaign was rocked by the departure Thursday of 16 top strategists and advisers.
According to remarks provided to The Associated Press before the speech, Gingrich favors moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv.
He makes a fleeting reference to the campaign upheaval and says he’ll carry his message of renewal all around the country “no matter what it takes.”
Why would any yid want as President a man who tried to force his ex wife to sign a divorce property settlement while she was in the hospital for cancer treatment, runs up a half million dollar credit card debt to tiffany’s without knowing what it was for or who trashes Paul Ryan’s budget plan on national TV and the next day denies what we all heard him say. There are several Republican candidates with good midos and a lot more common sense that Gingrich
Everybody “favors moving the embassy.” Until they’re elected. Then they suddenly get a case of pragmatitis.
Gingrich had a chance… as slim one… but a CHANCE when he seemed to oppose the steaming pile of drivel called the “Ryan Budget Plan”.
Polls show that almost twice as many people are against the major points of the Ryan Plan than were against Obamacare. WOOHOO! Doesn’t that sound like a winning strategy?
Gingrich had a small window of opportunity to show himself as a “reformed” man, and possibly show himself as the “adult” in the room. Instead he immediately started back-peddling like the wimp we’ve always known him to be. Just like on FNC, he says one thing on Monday and the opposite on Tuesday depending on which way the wind is blowing.
It is time for a CONSERVATIVE revolution on this country, but it has to start with a rejection of America’s idiot-class led by radio DJ’s with no education or experience in ANYTHING but being DJ’s. Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck, etc. are the ones setting the agenda through lies and propaganda. This is how people like Gingrich and the dumbest of the dumb like Palin are seen (by some) as “serious” candidates.
We need a CONSERVATIVE revolution NOW. We must return to Buckley’s Principles of Conservatism and rebuild before these idiots destroy us.
He would be a gr8 leader, but he has a very bad Reputation!!!
As opposed to Gingrich who put self-interest above common sense. Talks about cutting spending but 10 years ago was advocating for the government to buy every child a laptop computer.
Newt gets Israel, and will actually support her, regardless of the Europeans opinions. Standing in the Golan overlooking Israel and Syria, Newt said “if only they [the world] understood, there would be nothing to talk about.” He understands the need for defensible boarders, Qualitative Military Edge, etc. regardless of the embassy’s locale, Israel will have a friend and ally in the White House if Mr. Gingrich is elected.
Here’s a quote from a July ’10 Avi Klar article in Hamodia connecting Gingrich with the decision NOT to free Jonathan Pollard. Keep this man far away from America:
“But for this writer, Gingrich will always be remembered in the annals of infamy for a telephone call he made to then-President Bill Clinton on October 23, 1998.
“After CIA Director George Tenet reportedly leaked word that Clinton had acceded to Israeli PM Netanyahu’s demand to commute the sentence of Jonathan Pollard, Gingrich personally phoned his political arch-enemy, who was negotiating an accord between Netanayahu and, lehavdil, terror chieftain Yassir Arafat, ym”s, at the Wye River Plantation.
“It is believed that it was Gingrich’s phone call that essentially doomed the effort to free Pollard. The next day, … Clinton … reneged on his promise to free Pollard immediately, instead promising only that he would look into it, Gingrich went public declaring, ‘I think it would be a tremendous mistake for the United States to start putting traitors on the negotiating table as a pawn, and I hope the administration will now say they will not, under any circumstances, release Pollard.'”
Show-Gingrich-the-door.
Gingrich has no chance of competing for the nomination. Most of his staff has left. Also, we need a President (because of the stress of the job) to be healthy and in good physical condition. Gingrich is way overweight. At his age, and because of his excessive weight, he is a candidate for a host of various and highly risky physical ailments. The country cannot afford a President with serious health problems as we’ve had in the past.
Gingrich had his day. It was 1992. His entire top campaign staff quit. It’s over for Newt. Maybe he can go hang out with Wiener somewhere and reminisce about the past.
His campaign is sunk. He’s got too much baggage and has run it too incompetently to get past the first couple primaries.
