George Will: "We're At The Horrid Stage With Newt Gingrich"

So we have four people running for the presidency of the united states

Ron Paul - Complete Lunatic
Santorum - Synonymous with well....
Newt - An adulterer who dumped his wives when they got sick
Romney - Who doesn't pay his taxes

Good job America!

So we have four people running for the presidency of the united states

Correction.....Five.

There is that one guy who....you know.....who killed Osama.

I can't think of his name though.....

For me....Newt fell over the edge with the moon colony and statehood

Only people who have limited intelligence have a hard time with Newt's idea of a moon colony...either that or they have some other (evil) agenda.

i was talking about republicans.

There is that one guy who....you know.....who killed Osama.

I can't think of his name though.....

Because DOD hasn't published it, for security reasons. Facts are stubborn things.

I would love to be civil, but I'm running against a maniacal liar.

I hope everybody remembers that when (eye of) Newt concedes the nomination to romney and they both stand there shaking hands and smiling for the camera like old pals. 'We didn't mean it'

Mike,

Only people who have limited intelligence have a hard time with Newt's idea of a moon colony...either that or they have some other (evil) agenda.

With the current state of the economy and the deficit sitting were it is, were do you think the money for Newt's moon base Alpha will come from? And on top of this the Newt wants to put mirrors on the moon to shine ambient light on the earth to light up America at night to prevent crime. The word Lunatic was invented for guys like the Newt!

Newt is exactly like the base of the Republican party in fact he is the Father of the Nastiness that permeates this party. While you can elect the establishment candidate over Newt he will still be the daddy of all the nastiness you can escape it .

GM,

If you had listened to his proposal, you would have heard him quite clearly say, privately funded. Newt's a smart dude. Most folks just cannot keep up with him and when they cannot, they accuse him of being arrogant. That's the usual term bandied about by less intelligent folks towards the smarter ones.

His mirror idea is no less looney than the idea of electric cars who are less efficient than direct fossil fuel (gasoline) and require the services of coal fired generating plants to charge them. Remember, electricity is not a powers source, it is a means to convey already generated power. But you knew that already.

Regards,

Mike

Newt is very good at getting Democratic presidents re-elected.

Maybe after Obama wins a second term he will reward Newt by letting him ride in the back of Air Force One.

Or maybe he'll let him take the first ride back to the moon.

he should ask the kids from south park, they will get him to the moon.

There is that one guy who....you know.....who killed Osama.

I can't think of his name though.....

Rhymes with Osama.

If you had listened to his proposal, you would have heard him quite clearly say, privately funded. Newt's a smart dude.

I served with a smart dude. I knew the smart dude. The smart dude was a friend of mine. Newt is no smart dude.

Most folks just cannot keep up with him and when they cannot, they accuse him of being arrogant. That's the usual term bandied about by less intelligent folks towards the smarter ones.

And by folks, you mean the wives he left behind.

His mirror idea is no less looney than the idea of electric cars

Now that comment I agree with, since you seem to be saying that the mirror idea is very, very looney. Perhaps you meant, no MORE looney than...

Still, I must disagree. @!$%#ing with the night-day cycle is @!$%#ing with mother nature, and when you @!$%# with mother nature, she @!$%#s back. Just ask any sleep doctor about the effects of light on the sleep cycle.

Dream away mike. It ain't going to happen. Only a moron of a businessman would invest in such a project, unless he thought he was doing it for his grandchildren. In fact, even on THIS planet, original investors in such ventures as half the american colonies, and the East INdia Company, and even the Hudson's Bay Company, didn't see ANY profit, or maybe some profit on their death beds.

Even the transcontinental railroads in North America, INCLUDING Canada's, would have NEVER been built without MASSIVE government outlays of cash or landgrants to be converted to cash. Only ONE of thet North American transcontinental rail roads was ever built with ONLY private money, and it was the LAST one, the Great Northern. If we had left this up to private investors, we'd still be sailing around the Horn or going crosscountry by covered wagon (no Panama Canal, failed private project; and no interestate highways, LARGEST public works project in history, greater than the Great Wall).

Ahhhh, the essence of Newt. Bull crap flowing like rivers up his throat, and into the air to be pounced upon by the bull crap lovers whose sense of smell and common sense have deserted them long ago.

They prize the very fiber of the Newtishment it involves, for it is of his essence of greed, pride, self promotion, stupidity-served up as intelligence- and bombast. The essential substance of the Newtster.

Newt wouldn't be fit to preside over a stable of whores, he'd use and abuse them and then abandon them for worse ones. :~(( ;~(( Because Newt is Newt.

To say that we're at the horrid stage with Newt would imply that some other stage actually exists. I don't think it does. I think "horrid" is all we're ever going to get from this freak. If the past is the best predictor of the future, which it frequently is, then it won't get any better since when has Newt been anything but horrid??

Moon colony? Really?? And what, exactly, would be the point of that? Private funding, Mike? Don't make me laugh. To build and sustain something like this would cost trillions of dollars, and it would serve exactly what purpose for all that money? This is just idiotic grandstanding by an arrogant moron. (Yes, Mike, he IS arrogant. Please don't try to insult those of us who are capable of seeing through his ridiculous ideas by acting like we're somehow not as smart as he is. I'd put my cat's intelligence up against his any day.)

'I'm running against a maniacal liar.' Seems like an accurate statement.

Echoing austinrick @ 1.6:

... I would love to be civil, but I'm running against a maniacal liar. Now, that's pretty strong language.

Going forward, this is the statement to remember so says George Will! (and who knows the GOP better than George Will?)

Moon Colony, ... American Exceptionalism indeed!

More like American Egocentrism ...

@ Mike #1.9,

Sorry to bust that bubble but electricity is a power source... a transmission line would be the means to convey said power...

Also electric cars can be recharged by nuclear power stations, wind or solar generators as well...
