Deconstructing Gingrich
This is neither here nor there, but is, for all intents and purposes, the best take down of the utter and complete hypocrisy that now reigns supreme in the GOP primary process. Thank you Jon Stewart for doing the thinking that so many other Americans seem utterly incapable of any longer.

Thinking? Have you heard that Chicago has a 10 percent employment rate?
Gingrich is there for the base to have someone other than Romney to latch on to. Basically a rallying distraction who in the end will find his supporters funneled to Romney.
Romney being the White Obama. Romney being prechosen as the next POTUS.
that fat ass talks a big game. he will send us all into a nuclear war with iran/china/russia while he sits on the white house couch eating junk food in his underwear. and those who dont get drafted will be employed at the fema camps cleaning up the bodies of the constitutionalists who have been NDAA'd. Amerika better wake up
Bring it on.
Oh just wait until the 11th hour when they roll out Jeb Bush...
That's when the REAL hilarity will ensue...
If there is one good thing about this whole shit shower it is that when either of these two arseholes get elected the US will be in terminal collapse...
Good luck betting your $ waiting for that to happen.
Screw dealing with the chosen two fuck fest. I'm voting for Ron Paul.
Ya gotta wonder. Prepping us for door number three? Prepping us for four more years of Kenyan rule? Or maybe it's just the 'Jersey Shores' of politics, more of the Roman Circus 2.0
I absolutely think there will be a "door number 3" in the end...
As much as I hate to say it... The path of least resistance (for the oligarchs) is Obama... It's doubtful that they don't have a Plan B, but Plan A is still in effect so long as they can continue to have discredited hopefuls fighting amongst themselves... And to think... None of the "bottom cards" have even needed to be played yet...
Newt is a chickenhawking masterdebater. I'm done with this conversation
nah, Newt is gonna tell u honestly that he wants to kill everyone.
Newt is rising because he is the only person in the GOP race who can coherently speak
In deference to Dr. Paul, if youre an intelligent man with ideas that are a bit complex for the typical American ( read single cell organism that enjoys football and Cheetos ) to grasp , and you get about 3 minutes total to convey these I would expect most men would have trouble with a smooth and polished delivery.
That being said, even Paul admits that hes horrible getting his words out at times.
Newt is only slightly less disgusting to me than Kissinger. And that's saying a lot.
Jeb Bush as floor nominee is some serious bullshit. People need to put down the crack pipe.
But.., but.., I thought Obama was cleaning up Washington and saving the world.
What happened to that?
We. Are. So. Fucked. This country is so fucked.
Turn the binoculars around. It's only an island if you look at it from the water.
Look how "fucked" the rest of the world is and take a breath.
Have you ever travelled to different parts of the world and actually engaged the local culture? Obviously not...The outside world is a much different place than is portrayed on CNN and Faux. Much of the Western world is focused on the Repub debates and the overwhelming choice is Dr. Paul. The view from afar clearly sees that Santorum is your standard right-wing demagogue/hypocrite/unqualified, Romney as a willing stooge to the MIC (military-industrialcomplex) and Gingrich as the embodiment of cronyism, very publicly whoring his chances in exchange for corporate cash.
I'm going back to Mexico, for some peace and quiet.
(spare me the fear-diatribe please)
There's a difference between Repubs and Dems is grass for the sheeple to chew on. Progressives Left and Right ARE the Establishment, there is no difference, get that.
as ron paul states, newt is a chicken hawk. he ducked the draft, but is willing to have the common folks' sons and daughters die for his global chess game..........
There's a name for that. It's called "being a Republican politician."
We get the pres we deserve.
I was fooled by NoMobama last time. Not again..
I wish there was a box for Vote none of the above..
I like Ron pauls message.. they won't let him win.. remember the florida biachezzz...
HAHA! Like a good alchemist you boiled this bullshit down to it's pure essence. Good job!
since repayment of debt is now optional in america, someone has to pay the price for all those i-phones, i pads and hd flat screens
I find that disgusting LasVegasDave, Truth is so ugly to behold. Thumbs up for you.
And here I am going the other way and into Metals too.
As far as the Door number 3, it aint over until the Elections in November are over. Until then everything put onto the Media, Internet or word of mouth up and down is pure control efforts to herd the Sheep into one valley.
A fat liar.
He's like that kid Chunk.
You take a look at the teeth on those Romney sons, they are some impresive choppers.
Wonder how many of them have done any "service to/for" their country?
Mitt talks the same bullshit you just don't hear it since he is such a plastic asshole.
Did you see the debate last night, where the war mongering fool Newt said he would do a regime change in Cuba and take out the already half dead Castro? Ron Paul kindly reminded Newt that it is no longer 1962 :-).
No need to fight Cuba. Just declare a free trade zone and let Miami's People work on Cuba.
If we cannot find something good to fight, we might as well breed or trade em out.
GW was just stupid and incompetant.
Newt is a sick sick in the head man.
Imagine that fat sick SOB running your country.
This is unfunny and dangerous.
<<== AAPL Beat
<<== AAPL Miss
Sorry, OT, but time to take a position.
<<== AAPL (Foxconn) Jump!

I'd go bullish if it were just American sheeple who were customers but will the Chinese continue selling their kidneys to get an iPhone? They may be smarter than that.
sorry ADD.
GOP is trying to stay out of this election with those clowns. It will be easier to rebuild in 2016 than take the blame in 2012.
I don't think that's it...
Bread and Circus - With American politics being the ultimate Circus. Now that it looks like the Republican nomination may stretch all of the way to the convention, I've started thinking back to the last election. What great theater they provided when a black man, with a Muslim sounding name, faced off against a former first lady. You almost can't make that up, right? And all of this happens right in the middle of the beginning of the economic collapse (which is still just beginning, but I digress).
So now the stage is set on the opposite side of the room. Someone here posted a "conspiracy theory" about a brokered convention leading to a Jeb Bush nomination. Well, the conspiracy theory is becoming a meme http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/01/23/dick_armey_predicts_a_brokered_convention.html - Though I don't think Jeb Bush seems like the next step if the evolution of our fascist presidency... I think Mitch Daniels or Chris Christy fits that role better.
So what I expect to see (or what will further convince me that EVERYTHING is a circus)... a brokered convention... the popular vote is meaningless... someone not running gets the nomination... Daniels/Christy vs. Obama/Clinton (after he trades Clinton for Biden).
You almost can't make this up, right? Almost.
"The Day the Earth Stood Stupid!" :>D
>>>You almost can't make this up, right? Almost.<<<
It's being written about because it's something to write about. Same brokered convention nonsense speculation from the dem side in 2004 and 2008.
Few people understand the intricacies of binding and commitment of delegates on a state by state basis. Do a little homework re: the last time either party had a brokered convention. Try to talk to somebody re: what happens in backrooms and convention hall floor to delegates (when their candidate dropped out of the race) on 2nd and 3rd round balloting if it ever comes to that. Find someone who has actually been on a convention floor.
You may be right... we'll see. But I will say this... you write that as if we live in some sort of state of normalcy. I posit that we are now off of the tracks. Any assumptions that we may have about how things should work need to be reevaluated. May you live in interesting times.
no the gop realizes they can get what they want much easier with obama in their by having a republican president on the democratic platform than by having a republican president. so they put forth loosers. think about it, had a republican president been for locking up americans indefinately without trial there would have been a dcemocratic backlash. they can get the majority of what they want without a fight.
I would agree, and the only thing that gives me doubt is that it would actually be a clever move to do so, and I'm not sure these guys can put aside their power lust long enough to be that clever.
They were clever enough to put Palin in there as VP when they knew they were going to lose that one.

They won't be able to.
I'm going to vote against Obama. I'm not going to vote FOR Gingrich, but I AM going to vote against Obama.
That will just happen to punch the Gingrich chad.
Any other punch is a punch FOR Obama and that's intolerable.
youre a fool that has the mindset of a sheep..........when will you learn there is no difference between newt and obama? wake up.....
and Mittens is worse than either.
I don't see how he should be raising moral questions coming from that cesspoo of a family.
That mexican end of things is really something.
Newty should switch to morMON and tell them it's no big deal, we all have open sex and worse.
Write-in yer vote for someone sane: Ron Paul.
Sheeple are being maneuvered to a second term of same old same old. TBTB are still in control and on schedule. It never ceases to amaze me how so many people fall for this charade of free and relevant political system. After a diet look for CC in 2016 and his mantra will be 'hope and change'.
there will be no rebuilding of the republican party. both parties will implode and rand paul will be the next president in 2016. the country will buckle over the next term of obamaromney and rand will be realized as the only voice of reason................
Thank you for articulating the only possible answer to the current shit show in American politics.
This is great, his wife/mistress always has that Stepford Wife look on her face, like she is on a Thorazine Drip. Creepy as hell.
I don't care for Banzai's art, but a Callista Stepford wife would be a good one.
I don't care if they nominate Mickey fucking mouse, I will vote for him. At this point anyone is better then the current situation in the white house.
It's not enough to be the biggest hater of Obama.. the case against his policies which in most substansive matters are a continutation of the Bush year policies, must be made. More wars, more money creation, more debt, more infringements on freedom will not cut it ergo.. Santorum, Gingrich, Romney are out. Consider Buddy Roemer as a populist alternative.. RP2012
"most substantive matters are a continuation of Bush policies" Of course. It's not Repub vs Dem, there's no difference. It's Progressives Left or Right vs We the people and Liberty.
I would argue that it is neo-cons vs. Constitutionalists, monopolycapitalism vs. free enterprise, soft money vs. hard.
I
Well the only person that appeared to have a genuine plan of escape from the current cluster fuck, and would try and pull the plug on the triple headed beast known as the federal government is not going to get so much as a chance to finish the debates. Ron Paul is the worst nightmare of TPTB and they are doing everything in their power to keep him from office. So that leaves only two fucked up choices, 1. vote for whatever puppet is placed before us by the ruling class, along with similar republican congressional leaders, and hope that the public can influence some sort of redirection of the current course. or 2. start planning to relocate to a new country as there appears to be no hope, and completely no change in the government.
Vote anyone but Obama 'cus hope and change is on it's way.
Keep hope ALIVE!
Yep....
I love how the Repubs give you the choice of voting for the rich kleptocrat or his lobbyist....
I got two junks for this pearl of wisdom....
Well fuck me, I did not know that Newt and the Flim-flam man read ZH!
The truth often hurts, and sometime pisses people off.
I/We know enough to vote for somebody other than the Sitting President.
He made a big mess of our finances and we must fix it, a second term will not do it.
And you thumbs downers dont want to hear or see the truth.
Go ahead and don't vote for him...
But, with all due respect, the finances were fucked before he ever came on board....
As long as you have a system that undertaxes systematic larceny, the finances will be fucked...
Seriously, creating nothing of value (2/20 hedgies) or gutting American companies (PE) gets you taxed at 15% where honest work gets you rammed you in the ass with a higher tax bracket...
People are not stupid, they can figure this out....
Oh and having a bunch of people saying no to raising any taxes but still wanting their entitlements for 10-20 cents on the dollar is not going to help either....
I have watched the Deficiet since the Carter Administration.
Borrowing money was a very bad thing. I started to learn about money when the Silver Certificates became Federal Reserve Notes.
Back in those days it was necessary to bulk up the Military big enough, fast enough to make the USSR implode under it's own spending. And we got it done.
But they wanted to cut just about everything. The M1, the B1 Bones, the Patriot system, and so on so forth etc etc etc.
All of these systems which has bought us Victory and saved lives in battle since.
Welfare State on the other hand... whew was that ever a BIG issue back then.
Clinton could do a little bit, the Bushs did what they had to and Obama spent all the money in the Free World since the birth of this Nation up to his election. All 230+ years of it in 4.
I find that crazy. Not just ludicrus spending gone plaid, it's gone to beyond the Dollar.
One way to put a collar and leash on that. Gold Standard!
We can debate the merits of the Reagan buildup vis a vis the already imploding USSR, that another story...
The emergence of the mentality of getting something for nothing and its relation to the Federal budget is firmly in rooted in the '80s...
That is where we lost our way, every even handed analysis of revenues and expenditures leads to that conclusion. Look at the derivative of the Debt/GDP ratio....
Things improved under Clinton, mainly because of cheap oil, declining interest rates and the emergence of the Internet.... Clinton had very little to do with it, but, at least he had the sense to pare down the deficit and debt...
GWB performed scorched earth on the finances by simulataneously cutting taxes on the kleptocrats and going to War...
Call me old fashioned but when a country goes to war, it means common sacrifice for a common goal, not a fucking handout to the rich....
So, piss and moan all you want about Obummer, but he inherited a proverbial shitshow (and proceeded to drop the ball).....
In his defense, Bush did tell us to go shopping after 9/11 so the terrorits wouldn't win...and America complied given the household debt level accumulated.
I bought a plastic Chinese made collander. If that isn't patriotic, I don't know what is.
We just kept doing what we were doing.
I did well to remember the world war one and world war two stories from family.
ABC ration cards anyone? 10 gallons of gas for non essential people. Each month. Some of us burn that in a day.
Word up.
Do people still say that?
Peace.
P.S.: Never mess with a man in a red codpiece.
Like I said, keep hope alive - and I didn't junk you.
Your finances were fucked before Obamination was born, that be some truth for you sonny.
Once you wake up check back.
I'm going to vote for the right hand, because I don't like what the left hand is doing.
Yep.
Milk went out my nose.
+1. . . tho' I'm more fond of the "left cheek, right cheek, same asshole shitting on you" meme at this stage. . .
So true.
Right hand playing pocket pool.
Its because of dipshits like you that the republican party knows they can just prop up any piece of crap they pull out of their bucket and you will vote for him.
"DERP....WELL, HE AINT THAT GOOD, *TWITCH* BUT HES BETTER THAN WHAT WE GOT NOW."
Do us all a favor and stay home with the rest of your ilk on election night and just watch American Idol.
Instead of voting for whoever the republicans nominate, why not just write in Ron Paul?
Assuming the republicans don't nominate him, of course.
You can vote for anyone you want as President. Frankly, I am tired of the red or blue game and have found a candidate I like.
I am voting for Ron Paul. Either as the Republican nominee, if he decides to run independent or as a write in if he is not on the ballot. Even if he comes out and says not to write him in, I will be writing in his name.
Any other vote in my book is a vote for the FED and Wall Street skimming off of you for the next 4 years.
I sincerely hope RP runs third party. I'll vote for him, and when Obama gets re-elected because of the split vote, and the establishment republican types say "ITS CUZ YOU GUYS VOTED FOR RON PAUL THAT OBAMA GOT RE-ELECTED!"
I'll just respond, proudly "Well, you shoulda nominated Ron Paul instead of treating him like the plague, ya idiots."
Smart, You'll get the last laugh. Fckng idiot.
Yeah, and the laugh is on you.......... for thinking theres a fucking DIMES worth of difference between your Mr Potato Head, facist sociopath monkey, Gingrich, and the socialist sociopath Obama.
Ok, ones a facist and ones a socialist...... fine, theres a bit of difference. I stand corrected.
I hear it all the time from voters on both sides of the aisle..... "THEY'RE ALL A BUNCH OF LIARS....THEY'RE POLITICIANS!" Then somoene comes along that acutally has principals and you mindless monkeys just say "Eh, he doesn't have a chance" and you wonder why nothing ever changes in washington. :(
LOL, WTF???
"Someone comes along" I've been supporting RP before he was "cool. I've been contributing to Cato since 1984. What do you think is going to come out the other end of the sausage grinder after Obama's re-elected and the dollar collapses? You don't think it matters? They're all the same.. BS! I want Ron Paul to win more than you do but I'm not going to help Obama get re-elected by giving away a protest vote.
Ok, good question. Answer is obvious. We're all screwed.
Now, what do you think will be different if we elect Gingrich or Mittens, as opposed to Obama? THEY'RE ALL THE FUCKING SAME!!!!
They all:
1. support some kind of nationalized health care
2. support endless wars overseas, at the same time talking about reducing the debt out of the other side of their mouths
3. support detaining american citizens indefinitely without trial in the name of national security. A dangerous precident, indeed.
So tell me, how are any of the "anointed" ones any different than Obama?
If these douche-bags are going to ruin the country, I'd rather just get it over with and start over, instead of having a long drawn out decline because one of them MIGHT do it a bit slower than Obama would.
Yep. Did it last time, will do it again.
Ron Paul or None At all..
If you don't think Obamacare needs to be repealed, write in RP as a protest vote and kiss the last ounce of liberty you had goodbye. You're anything but a Libertarian.
