samboct -> Gingrich's record (12/2/2011 8:20:47 PM)
I'm kind of floored that Newt Gingrich can pass himself off as a presidential candidate. In this era of google, there is no reason for people not to know the kind of power mad, greedy, unethical SOB this guy is. Here's the news from '97: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/govt/leadership/stories/012297.htm Also note that Jim Cooper- Blue Dog Democrat whose been in the house for decades- credits Gingrich as the guy who basically broke Congress- it's been partisan dickermanship since he got there- and forcing him out didn't allow things to go back to working properly. Never mind about the divorce and his first wife who was potentially terminally ill- this guy is a scumbag from the get go. Sam

But...but...he's soooo "intelligent"...so..."insightful"...and so willing to offer up "bold, new" ideas--like doing away with child labor laws. There are just far too many jobs out there and not enough adults to fill them that we have to start hiring kids to do them.

Dating myself but does anyone remember the way Trudeau depicted Newty in Doonesbury? [:D]

erieangel -> RE: Gingrich's record (12/2/2011 8:57:12 PM)
Sadly, those days I was rather ill and have little memory of even my children growing up. How I managed is far beyond me.

I don't get it. Or maybe David Frum is right in that Republican's liked Fox News because it gave them a platform for their views no matter how factually challenged- but now the corporation has decided that it makes more money parading idiots in front of the country and the world- and the Republicans can't do much about it. I mean really- are the Republican candidates really the best the GOP can do? That's a sad, sad, state of affairs. Or is this just their way of showing that the only guy who could possibly beat Obama is Romney- he's the best the GOPs got, so get behind him? Sam

Lucylastic -> RE: Gingrich's record (12/3/2011 6:51:55 AM)
I have more than a couple of friends who vote republican that are utterly ashamed with party over the lack of decent choices. To me its a farce. It will be interesting to see just who signs up for the newsmax/trump debate Am i hoping against hope that saner minds will prevail and not attend , or is the lure of the exposure second to the idiocy?

Sam woah gingrich has character flaws? shit, i had no idea. this changes everything. thanks for the heads up, bro.

To have any chance of not looking completely pathetic, stupid and not become a laughingstock and a taunt and hiss for the rest of this millenium, they will be forced to hold their nose and throw in rino Romney for the election lose gambit. This will allow them to be only nominally so, and fight another day in the distant future. It was set at the outset, all theater. The GOP is in big fuckin trouble and is floundering. The mother of all slaughters about to befall the democrats will fill the nation with shock and awe.

BoxwineForBrunch -> RE: Gingrich's record (12/3/2011 7:35:12 AM)
yeah i suppose it looks like romney will get the nod. i guess i'm not really too invested. my residency for voting purposes is in what will probably be a must-win swing state if the race is at all close, and there is literally not a single candidate the republicans could run, gingrich included, who would make me suck it up and vote for obama.

Do you believe that, do you think thats why BJ Clinton was disbarred as a lawyer? Because he got a bj?

His license was suspended (disbarred) for 5 years in Arkansas. They did not give a reason. My understanding is that he doesn't need to chase ambulances to buy groceries anymore. I doubt he bothered picking it back up in 2005.

tazzygirl -> RE: Gingrich's record (12/3/2011 8:49:08 AM)
In 2000 the Arkansas Supreme Court's Committee on Professional Conduct called for the disbarment of President Bill Clinton, saying he lied about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. In January 2001 Clinton reached an agreement under which he was ordered to pay $25,000 in fines to Arkansas state's bar officials and his Arkansas law license was suspended for five years.[4] The agreement came on the condition that Whitewater prosecutors would not pursue federal perjury charges against him.[5] Clinton was suspended by the Supreme Court in October 2001, and, facing disbarment from that court, Clinton resigned from the Supreme Court bar in November. Another sanity "truth" Clinton was never disbarred.

Obfuscate much? [:D] He is forbidden from practicing law before the Supreme Court as well... But not a single leftist in the land can possibly understand why...

From an actual news source, far left MSNBC quote: LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — The five-year suspension of Bill Clinton’s Arkansas law license in connection with the Monica Lewinsky affair ends this week, but an aide declined Tuesday to say whether the ex-president is seeking reinstatement. As opposed to something pulled out of some leftists ass

tazzygirl -> RE: Gingrich's record (12/3/2011 8:54:28 AM)
Clinton agreed to the Arkansas suspension and a $25,000 fine on the day before his presidency as ended part of a settlement ending the investigation into whether he offered misleading testimony in the Jones case. Those allegations led to the exposure of Clinton's affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, his 1998 impeachment by the House of Representatives and subsequent acquittal by the U.S. Senate. As is its custom, the Supreme Court offered no explanation for the order. Court observers said such suspensions nearly always lead to permanent disbarments. Clinton can apply to be reinstated to practice before the Supreme Court at a later date. http://articles.cnn.com/2001-11-09/politics/clinton.bar_1_president-clinton-paula-jones-sexual-harassment-supreme-court-bar?_s=PM:ALLPOLITICS
