YOU ELECTED ROMNEY, “JUST OLDER, AND FATTER”
South Carolina Republicans voted en masse last weekend for former U.S. Speaker Newt Gingrich – giving the rotund “Republican” a resounding victory in the state’s pivotal “First in the South” presidential primary.
According to the latest numbers from the S.C. Election Commission, a total of 243,153 South Carolina Republicans (or 40.4 percent of the GOP primary electorate) voted for Gingrich – most of them under the mistaken assumption that he somehow represented a “conservative alternative” to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
Before we devote any ink to an analysis of Gingrich’s big win, here are a few nuggets on “King Newt” that are worth considering …
*He betrayed the 1994 Republican Revolution almost as soon as his party took office in 1995.
*He was forced to pay a $300,000 fine after he was caught lying to House ethics investigators in 1997.
*He was in the midst of an extramarital affair at the same time he was demanding Bill Clinton’s resignation over an affair with an intern.
*He was forced from office in 1998 by his own party after losing the mid-term elections that year.
*After leaving Congress, he received $1.6 million from government-backed (now government-owned) mortgage behemoth Freddie Mac, one of the prime culprits of the sub-prime mortgage fiasco.
*In 2006, a health care think tank he founded praised former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s health care proposal – as well as its underlying individual mandate (which he previously praised as the “conservative position”).
*In 2008, he sat on a sofa with Nancy Pelosi in support of radical climate change legislation. Prior to that, Gingrich said he would “strongly support” the controversial cap and trade system proposed by Barack Obama.
*He opposes deporting illegal immigrants, yet supports penalizing employers who hire undocumented workers (whether they know it or not).
*Last spring, he referred to a middle-of-the-road Republican spending plan offered by U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan “radical change” and “right-wing social engineering.”
“The fact that a demonstrated sellout like Gingrich is being seriously considered by Republicans in 2012 is a testament to the ongoing ideological bankruptcy of the GOP establishment,” we wrote a year ago in our initial assessment of the 2012 field.
“Other than Romney we consider him to be the least fiscally conservative, least trustworthy of any of the Republican candidates seeking the nomination,” we wrote more recently.
Or as our founding editor has taken to saying recently, “he is Romney … just older, and fatter.”
Of course in a state run by “Republicans in Name Only,” the selection of Gingrich as its presidential choice is hardly surprising. Seriously … just look at our governor, lieutenant governor, House Speaker and Senate President.
Or look at the last president South Carolina picked …
Congratulations, South Carolina … you really are as dumb as we thinks you is.

By STFU January 23, 2012 at 12:03 pm
All true.
But perhaps we just wanted to scare the shit out of the status quo, perhaps we just wanted to fuck with the party leaders, perhaps we just wanted to say ” hey Barry debate this”.
I agree with everything Ron Paul says does not mean I can not take my vote a put it where it scares the most people. Fear is a powerful weapon and trust me the GOP is scared shitless. The Salt Lake Compact is dead, the deal is off because Bain will not release any records and all of Newts foibles are on line. Newt can not do angry.
We are going to a convention, nothing Iowa or NH or SC does in the future will ever matter again.
Free Rand Paul.
By Goyojimbo January 23, 2012 at 2:15 pm
So tens of thousands of South Carolinians conspired to vote to give Newt a resounding victory Saturday, therefore, scaring the establishment, instead of just casting their vote for Ron Paul, and giving Mr. Paul a resounding victory.
Yes, that does sound like a scheme someone would cook-up in South Carolina.

so colonel as long as its along your party lines you have no issues with removing judges for political reasons/causes but if it was a gop leaning judge you would be up in arms about trashing the constitution correct? That sir is the definition of hypocrisy..but hey at least your honest about it..
By The Colonel January 23, 2012 at 12:47 pm
No, I just can’t stand the 9th Circut Court – the most liberal and overturned court in the land. Newt (or Obama for that matter) could never do it because as you suggest, it is totally un-Constitutional. It is legal to recall some judges and it happens occasionally. Lest you forget, it was the king of the liberals – Roosevelt who attempted to circumvent his inability to remove a judge by adding judges.
By Ohmaar January 23, 2012 at 3:09 pm
Yes, it’s unconstitutional to summarily remove district court judges from office. However, it’s COMPLETELY constitutional to simply eliminate their district. And it has the delicious benefit of already having been done before.
By misstate January 23, 2012 at 12:18 pm
how did that Tom Davis endorsement of Ron Paul work out? Boy, that sure was some serious Mooooooooooooooomentum that Davis gave to Dr. Paul.
He came in a solid 4th place. Even after all those retweets of himself.

Is there an organized “Ron Paul Movement” going on? We need someone with his ideals to bring us back to the fundamentals of what this country was based on-our Constitution, Bills of Rights, etc. He is our Patrick Henry, Nathan Hale kind of guy.

Obama’s destructive economic policies have decimated our economy.

Newt offers an alternative to statism.
He’s also a much better communicator than the rest of the Republican field.

By Ohmaar January 23, 2012 at 3:22 pm
Yes, Obama2012, Obama was handed a mess. But he CAMPAIGNED on the idea that he was the man to FIX the mess. All he has done is make it worse. That ain’t fixing it.
Does he even have a PLAN to fix it? Because to date, he certainly hasn’t proposed anything that even attempts to fix it.
He killed Bin Laden. Didn’t fix the economy.
He pulled troops out of Iraq. Didn’t fix the economy.
He passed health reform. Actually makes the economy worse.
He took over GM. Didn’t fix the economy.
He added $6.5 Trillion to the debt. Damn! Did YOU get any? I didn’t think so. But SOMEBODY sure did! Obama took care of his friends: WALL STREET!!

check the facts on Newt years….he loves to spout items that are either “not factual” as he puts it, or that he had little to do with.
By Robert January 23, 2012 at 12:35 pm
The Office of Management and Budget’s historical tables show total outlays (table 1.1) continued to rise from fiscal year 1995 ($1.5 trillion) to fiscal year 2000 ($1.8 trillion). That’s an increase of $273.2 billion, or 18 percent.
By Robert January 23, 2012 at 12:37 pm
The record surplus — as measured in dollars — came in fiscal year 2000: $236.2 billion. But those spending bills were introduced and signed into law between May 1999 and November 1999. Gingrich announced in November 1998 that he would resign as speaker. He left Congress altogether in January 1999
By Dr . Pierce January 23, 2012 at 12:39 pm
…..he loves to spout items that are either “not factual”
Kinda sounds like Haley. “I absolutely know Romney will win without question.”
By BigT January 23, 2012 at 12:42 pm
I lived those years… I KNOW what happened. Newt was CHASED out because he was HATED by the left…because of the Contract w/ America…
I simply ask anyone who was of voting age in the 90s to remember what happened fiscally, in Washington…and it was NEWT more than anyone.
Also: Newt is smart and he fights back. Dull thinkers like FITS HATE That Newt is smarter……
You want it easy and you want it handed to you…But you’re getting the $#!^ beaten out of you by a man who can articulate what AMERICANS want to hear…and he has a FAILURE-Loser as an opponent…and he knows it…
By Common Sense January 23, 2012 at 12:47 pm
you had the first time in history a Speaker of the house was disciplined and fined over 300k for unethical behavior. He had two long term adulterous relationships while the women he was currently married too was either being treated for cancer or had just been diagnosed with MS…classy guy. So he married adulteress number 3. has a ring to it if he wins, the first adulteress of the united states of America..or would-it be the third adulteress as technically..well it doesn’t matter. His own party threw him out of office..is that what you’re referring to fat t?
By Common Sense January 23, 2012 at 12:50 pm
wait till the commercials start..i can see them now..two minute sound bites of what an out of control disaster he was as speaker of the house..and you could do the whole thing with striclty GOP member comments, literally hours of comments from members of his own party saying how truly un qualified this guy is..i guess fat t just gave up completely on the whole morals argument..right T? so where do you stand on principles as we have seen you throw out every single one you at one typed in alls caps was such a part of your party? w ell where are the morals fat boy?
By Ken E. January 23, 2012 at 1:23 pm
BigT, Newt was voted out by 89% of his Republican colleagues. Sounds like a liberal-conspiracy to me. Do you know how many endorsements Newt has scored from his former colleagues in the house? Zero at last count. Some have even spoken publicly about how terrible it would be for Newt to be president.
Go ahead and nominate him, please. You’ll be doing the democrats a huge favor.

Newt or not, obviously none of you were paying attention to the budget debates of the time. The Democrats were bitching, crying and moaning the whole time. Grandma was going to be eating dog food! School kids were going to starve! Blacks were going to be rounded up and shipped to Africa!
Yeah, spending went up. But we had the economic production generating revenue to cover it (hence the balanced budgets and surpluses.)
The PROBLEMS began when they booted Newt and all the Republicans sat down at the gravy train with their Democrat buddies.
By :) January 23, 2012 at 12:38 pm
It’s a large bit of irony that a “Bible Belt” state like SC puts the most unethical of all 4 candidates at the top of the heap.
It’s an incredible study in hypocrisy.
They are grasping for the ring of power and damnned be all principle on the way.
I’m not sure who’d burn down what’s left of our country faster, Obama or Newt.
From that perspective, Newt may not be a bad choice to go ahead and get things over with so we can move on to the next stage, whatever it is.
I’m not sure I wanna go the Japan route; 20, 30, or 40 years of stagflation or inflation with no real growth only to have it end with dictatorship.

Newt as the GOP candidate guarantees and Obama reelection.

By Ohmaar January 23, 2012 at 3:54 pm

Concerned White House Aides Say Obama Has Not Stopped Laughing Since Saturday Night
Staff Mystified by Uncharacteristic Giddiness
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – White House aides are alarmed by uncharacteristic behavior on the part of President Obama, who they say has been laughing uncontrollably since 7 PM Saturday night.
The aides, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that they heard “unusual howls” coming from the Oval Office just after the seven o’clock hour on Saturday evening, causing them to rush to the President to ascertain the cause of the uproar.
“It was weird,” one aide said. “He was just watching cable news.”
The staff members thought little of the normally reserved President’s giggle attack until it continued throughout the weekend, which saw Mr. Obama laughing uncontrollably and stopping only to gasp for air.
Ever since Saturday, Mr. Obama has been oddly giddy throughout White House staff meetings, the aide said, and has been seen doodling the initials “N.G.” in the margins of memos “like a love-struck schoolgirl.”
“The only thing we can think of that N.G. might stand for is Not Good,” the aide said. “But why would he be so happy about something that’s not good?”
Mr. Obama’s high spirits were on evidence today in a brief White House appearance, in which the President made the following statement about the administration’s energy policies: “Going forward, the United States of America will bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha.”

By UpState Native January 23, 2012 at 1:45 pm
You may be a SC native but you can stay where you are and you don’t have to come back. St Louis needs you way more than we do.
I am glad to know that My State still stands up and votes how they wish and not what someone elses from a New York TV station nor a Gov from New Jersey nor even our own politicians that are looking for free meals tells us what they expect.
By SCguyinStLouis January 23, 2012 at 2:06 pm
UpState Native,
That was uncalled for and random on your part. What does a New York TV station or the Govenor of New Jersey have to do with Newt being a slimy piece of trash? If you intended to insinuate that I am a liberal, please be aware I consider myself a consitutional conservative and I tend to agree more with Ron Paul than any of the other candidates. I am disappointed that so many in my home state would vote for a man with such a checkerd past.
By SCBlues January 23, 2012 at 2:45 pm
SCguyinStLouis -
There are many of us still living here in SC that agree with you!
By UpState Native January 23, 2012 at 5:08 pm
Don’t think you understood what I’m saying, S.C. is still a free state where people can vote for who they wish. I hate being told I must do this or must do that. we as a free people did not vote for Romney just because we were told that we are sheep and that we could only cast a vote for one person. If this state had voted the way the news media had told us to vote your man Paul would have had no votes cast. If we had gone with the national polls they would have called the game weeks before the coin toss and declaired Romney the winner with everyone else getting 0 votes. So you should be proud that your home state proved they are not Sheep even if you don’t like the results of a free election.

Yes, I’m aware that Missouri is not actually “abroad”, but you are correct, it certainly does feel like like another country at times. FYI, my father is life long republican; I remember the first book he gave me was written by the neo con shill Rush Limbaugh. After many discussions my Dad actually decided to vote for Ron Paul this year!
SCBlues,
Thanks for the fighting the good fight!
UpState Native,
While I completely respect their right to do so, I am not proud of anyone who would support a biggot like Newt. Free election? What makes you so sure it was free? Electronic voting machines, votes reported from a spanish company, and many irregularities reported during the count would say it was otherwise.
By snodgrass January 23, 2012 at 1:04 pm
For the past couple of days, I’ve been reading with amusement as the juvenile delinquents who frequent this forum have mocked Ron Paul. What they’re too dense to realize is that he is being vindicated by the reality of each day’s headlines.
The economy is becoming a full blown crisis. The combustible mixture of nation building and military adventurism is blowing up in the face of neoconservatives. And even as he warns us that our civil liberties are in dire jeopardy, Ron Paul’s own son, a highly recognizable U.S. senator, is absurdly targeted as a potential terrorist by a surrogate of the ever growing police state.
The most amusing part of all this is that the candidates defended by the mental pygmies here are running campaigns which promise to perpetuate this insanity. (Keep it up boys and girls. Maybe the king will let you kiss his ring when your blistered lips have healed.)
I think it’s futile for Ron Paul to continue his association with the GOP, since they will not allow him the nomination and have nothing to contribute at a brokered convention. However, I find it very gratifying that his desire to stay with the GOP will prove to be a festering boil on the backside of the establishment.
By Cid January 23, 2012 at 3:36 pm
You Libertarians confront a catch 22 problem
Both parties the Republicans probably a little more are beholden to the military\industrial complex
There must be a war or threat of war constantly to feed the beast
Non interventionism is one of the cornerstones of libertarianism
The GOP is NEVER going to go along with such nor will you ever be able to convince a majority of Republicans who for the most part like all this military stuff of the value of noninterventionism
Yet Americans are so wedded to the two party system that a third party ie Libertarian has no realistic chance of victory
Hell of a dilemma!
By snodgrass January 23, 2012 at 5:43 pm
Cid, you summed it up well, but I think you’re wrong about the potential for a third party bid. There are enough frustrated people on the left and the right to combine for a sizable base even now. Those numbers have the potential to multiply if the third party candidate has ballot access, adequate organization, a well of monetary support, a moderate message, and a medium to deliver it. Ron Paul has all of that. Most importantly, he has one thing that the other parties don’t: Trust!
By Ohmaar January 23, 2012 at 6:02 pm
Sorry, Ross Perot has forever poisoned the third-party well. As dumb as Republican’s may be at times, they’re not stupid enough to fall for that ruse again.

Avoid the debate? Are you kidding me? All he has to do is let Newt talk most of the time. It’ll be like watching someone punch themselves in the face? Given enough opportunities he’ll implode on his own like before.
Everyone talks about how “good” a debator Newt is, go on, keep underestimating the “Black Jesus”.
If the GOP bombthrower gets the primary nod he’s going to do the same thing to independents and some of the GOP electorate that he did back in the 90′s before his own party bounced him out the door.

Nobody really cares. Obama can toss this in Newt’s face 24/7, but it will not get Obama reelected.

So who is this “Uncle Remus”?
A legit old-school bigot?
Just a provocateur?
A parody poster trying to make SC conservatives look bad?

Yea, I’ve pretty much decided that the “racism” vote is probably 50/50 Dem/Rep when you toss out blacks…so it’s hard to tell.
It’s partially why the Southern Strategy still has legs when used by either side.

I love how Will Folks of all people thinks he should write about others when it comes to morals. This website is entertainment only and I hope the people reading it realize that…..
By Cid January 23, 2012 at 4:46 pm
And entertaining it is
Then again Folks ain’t running for anything
But the thought of “family values” Republicans running around with their pompous sanctimony
And then hurrying to the polls to vote for Newt Gingrich?
Hell that’s plain slapstick!

I voted for Newt and proud of it – I’d vote for anyone running so long as it is against the Haley establishment. Sorry Mitt, but you had the wrong bed partner endorsing you…Governor Shady Deal would be a better bed partner for an endorsement than Gov. Slickki Nikki.

The people at the debate seemed more concerned with who was making a racket when applauding the good policy points of Ron Paul rather than actually understanding why they were good policy points. What got Newt the vote was his shitting on CNN’s King at the onset of the debate. Apparently the South Carolina isn’t very educated as to the underlying cronyism and corruption so blatantly obvious in our federal government but they are privy to knowing that CNN has been lying to them (at least not as badly as Faux) and that Newt pwned for being a sleazy media outlet. Sadly, the time for libertarian views to be understood and supported appears to not be at hand. I just hope that it is not too late for us as a country before the people realize what has been stolen from them.

Maybe the Libertarian Party would be more open to Libertarian views.

I can tell you the reason Newt won SC. Sure, there are those that voted for him to spite Haley and maybe just maybe there were some who think he’s got some good ideas. I’ll tell you what did it though, it was when he talked about food stamps and black folks needing to get back to work. Every undecided voter decided right then and there to vote for Newt. Newt speaks the language of the base and Mittens, Santorum and the good doctor just don’t. All Newt has to do to keep winning is keep blowing that subtle racist dog whistle and he’ll keep winning.

LOL! Really? So now rejecting racism is racist?
Good grief!

What is wrong with pundits today? The whole part of the last 12 months was to create a ground swell of protests against millionaires, citing raising taxes etc, and then to openly embrace a GOP candidate that will give creedance to the whole argument that capitalism is the enemy and millionaires are the problem. There is no way a man who makes 20 million dollars a year, taxed less than Joe the Plumber, can win a general election against a well oiled machine that will chew him up then spit him out. For Solutions. For Results. For America. Gingrich for 2012!!!Stick with Gingrich NO Matter The Smears!!! Spite the SOB’s
By Ohmaar January 25, 2012 at 11:10 am
Really Thomas? You think Joe the Plumber paid more than $6.2 Million in taxes last year?
