Newt Has Rush and Rudy Fuming
Republican primary seasons are usually so boring. They either go after each other on a personal level, or by the time South Carolina rolls around there's a nominee apparent and they close ranks around them.
Not this time. Not by a long shot. It's clear that Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry consider this a personal crusade, which is why the scorched earth strategy has been launched in a big way. The 28-minute video on KingofBain.com is a devastating indictment of capitalists like Mitt Romney who strip assets from businesses and allow them to die, after transferring pension liabilities to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
To say it's got Rudy Guiliani and Rush Limbaugh's knickers in a twist would be an understatement. Rudy was just about out of his body Thursday morning on Fox and Friends, calling Newt a student of Saul Alinsky and equating his actions to "something Barack Obama would do." There's an insult.
Rush, on the other hand, has a real problem. He cannot stand Mitt Romney, doesn't think he's any kind of real conservative, but like all good Republicans, he was ready to suck it up and let Mitt have the nomination. Now we have Newt Gingrich tossing a neutron bomb into the middle of the primary while Sheldon Adelson simultaneously funds and distances himself from it, and well...sit back and watch the fireworks.
Even though all fists were shaken in Newt's general direction, Rick Perry should not go unnoticed. Today one of his major donors, Barry Wynn, withdrew support and gave it to Mitt. Perry's response was entirely self-destructive and personal. Specifically, he said "If they want to cut and run, that's their problem." Now Wynn isn't just your ordinary run of the mill Republican. In addition to being a major donor, he's also Jim DeMint's treasurer. Yes, that Jim DeMint. Mr. UberConservative kingmaker guy. I'm not sure if Perry believes in what he's doing or he's just taking things personally enough to melt down and self-destruct. Whatever the case, it's entertaining.
According to at least one poll, it's working. A new InsiderAdvantage poll shows Newt in a statistical tie with Mitt Romney in South Carolina. Watch out, Mitt.
This couldn't happen to a more deserving group of human-shaped biological organisms (I refuse to refer to them as "people"). Anyone want popcorn? I made plenty...
"Whatever your particular problem is, I promise you, the Republicans are not the least bit interested in solving it. They are interested in two things, and two things only: making you afraid of it, and telling you who's to blame for it."
got anything to drink? How about some chips and salsa? The real fun is about to begin.

Love watching these rich fucks try again to convince poor and middle class Americans to buy this shit.
Trouble is, many of the poor and middle DO buy this shit.

newt wants the best republican president that we've had since the last (clinton) to win re-election, because even he knows that the others in the race will cement the downfall of the republican party, no party can last by choosing the clowniest of clowns to succeed the worst president in modern history (UU.)
i have been known to be wrong once or two thousand times...
So I guess Occupy Wall Street isn't so bad after all, Newt.
Your "When Romney Came Town" film appears it was written and produced by Jesse LaGreca.
Word to Newt: We realize you are big-time hypocrite & see nothing wrong with plagarizing themes & strategy from those you claim you hate.
But from the bottom of the 99%'s heart, thank you Newt for using Occupy Wall Street beliefs & ideals to ruin Romney.
To Boss Limbaugh & Rudy Guiliani: How do you like them apples?
When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in excess body fat & carrying a misspelled sign.
Rick Perry calling Schmittens a vulture capitalist
the NYTimes did a great job explaining just how and why this rightwing billionaire's donation to the-gingrich was a perfect encapsulation of why citizens united is so damaging to our barely functioning democracy.
The last-minute injection underscores how the 2010 landmark Supreme Court ruling on campaign finance has made it possible for a wealthy individual to influence an election. Mr. Adelson’s contribution to the super PAC is 1,000 times the $5,000 he could legally give directly to Mr. Gingrich’s campaign this year.
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/10/us/politics...
as we mosey on down this path our future political races will become more and more just a billionaire-battle. which candidate can craft his proposed policies and stump speech to garner the more support from billionaires, reap the reward, and plaster the airwaves with their propaganda
It warms my heart to see republiCons drag each other through the republiCon crap, but I'm not getting too excited because once Mittens secures the nomination, and you know he will, every single republiCon who trashed him and dragged him through that crap will turn around and try to convince everyone that he's the best thing since sliced bread. I predict that Pig Newton and HelmetHair Parry will soon be endorsing Mittens.
Then watch for the REAL explosion of Super Pac money to start flowing.

I wonder how much the Reich will like CU and all the Pac money after this primary , it's backfiring on them , screwing things up for them . The way those with $ can control and manipulate the political process now , it's unbelievable . I think you're right , we have not seen anything yet .
...campaign will need only to rerun the videos made by the reptilicans against each other – they will save a fortune on ad production.

the dirty laundry has seen some air, and Mitt emerges from the process bloodied. The Repubs may rally around their guy, but there's one thing I really like about Mitt now: The more exposure he gets the worse he looks. He's done well up until now by hanging in the back and letting everyone else play out the wingnuttery and get the exposure. Once he's nominated he's front and center. And everytime he opens his mouth he comes off as elitist or he contradicts something he said the previous day. He's his own worst enemy. I think by election day a lot of people will be thinking "anything but this jackass."
tell them. palin and newt have done more to expose Shittens to their minions in the last week than all the Dems talk of the last several years combined.

I was musing on the idea that Newt and Mitt might destroy each other and, when the dust settles, Ron Paul takes the nomination. Just a funny little pipe-dream, mind you.
Meanwhile, this Faux-News hand wringing is funny as hell. Rudy going all to pieces, attacking Newt. Doesn't get much better than that.
using a documentary that was made by one of mitts former associates!
Could it be anymore of Karmic justice that mitt and the bashing repubs are astonished that the truth be told in the Harsh light of day ...INSTEAD OF IN QUIET ROOMS!
The LA TImes has another informative piece on topic:

Maybe it is. When the only thing that unites a group of people is each individuals obsessive self-promotion and aggrandizement, the wheels have to come off at some point.

"we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and [to] bid defiance to the laws of our country." …..Thomas Jefferson
Since Paul's no better than anyone else in the sandbox (in spite of how many tingles progressives get over a tiny handful of his ideas), I'd say it's more like a nightmare than a dream.

Both of them are nothing but Puppets of the Plutocrats.....spewing foulness and idiocy over the public airwaves.

It's entertaining isn't it ?
..since Stevenson ran against Eisenhower, and I have to agree – never have the reptilicans been more entertaining. It's a lot like watching the monkeys at the zoo throwing feces at each other – but with less decorum.

Romney's wealth makes him one of the 3,140 wealthiest people in the country — that's the richest 0.001 percent of Americans. So, he's not just the candidate of the 1 percent, but the candidate of the 0.001 percent.
"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
unfettered capitalism doesn't work. that's the debate this country needs to have. the sense of fairness is gone. its all about a quick turnover buck. its about pre-calculated decisions that people will make that will cause mistakes and a profit for someone. its about having a monopoly and raising fees/prices. its about screwing people and its destroying the country and the culture.
It does not work for the majority , it is destroying the country , but It has worked for those at the top , the 1 % , it will for a time but it is a dead end , can't go on forever . It's a house of cards , it will fall , is just a matter of time .
Criticize capitalism in any form? Well you must be a SOCIALIST. It's like spitting on the flag and using the bible for toilet paper. I'm surprised that one of them hasn't claimed that organized crime is just another form of capitalism and a real job creator. Now that they are turning on each other they are making some of the same criticisms the left has been making. Perry calls Romney a vulture capitalist. The facade is breaking down. Not to worry though, Fox will shift the debate to something else until the fuss dies down. It's their job to create a fantasy world for Americans to live in while the real one disintegrates.
...will not be derailed by claims that he is a "vulture." Of course he's a vulture or better, a parasite, who sucks the life out of everything with the sole goal of amassing fortunes for a tiny number of people. But being a horrible person is not only not a problem for a Republican, it's a requirement for party membership.
A vast number of Republicans are people who are voting for candidates who then screw them royally. But since being stupid is also an important part of being a modern Republican, a lot of the people who should be turned off by the truth about Romney, will still support him because...well, just because. Until those people get it through their heads that they're hurting themselves by voting for Republicans, elections will continue to be close in the US. If they ever figure out what they've been doing and how bad it is for themselves and by extension the country, Democratic candidates, with all their flaws, will begin winning elections easily.
Unfortunately, there's no reason to believe a mass epiphany is likely in the next century or so. So, a complete phony like Romney, a man with no core beliefs, no integrity, and no valuable skills will continue to pose a genuine threat to the election of Barack Obama. I have a pretty low opinion of many of my fellow Americans, but if they elect Romney in 2012, my opinion of them will fall to an all-time low -- a nadir that will never be surpassed.
...and even though the first term was an appointment, my lack of faith in the American voter was never lower than it was in the aftermath of the '00 and '04 elections.

I'm elated that Limp-Dick Blimpaugh and all other ignorant Reslugs heads are exploding. It positively means that Newt's ads are really working against Romney. Now the happy Democrats can just sit back and enjoy the show.
Leave it to sociopathic republicans to shine light on the very things they have been trying to hide for 30 years.
This is like watching a pissed off member of a super rich clan give a tell-all about the dirty laundry in the entire family, because they are pissed off about the will.
Rush Limbaugh is what a smart person thinks a stupid bigot sounds like.
...what Limbaugh was saying about four years ago. Something of the nature that, he was going to reluctantly drag John McCain across the finish line to prevent Obama from winning the election. This is why you rarely hear Limbaugh endorse anyone, people like me with a sharp memory who torture him about his ficticious accuracy rating and multiple failures. I still say we should all head on down to Palm Beach for an intervention. I hear Florida is rather mild this time of year. Who's with me?
It wont work they will not let you in the city unless youi live there
{OAK}TIGER
I gotta believe this turd was just looking for a reason to bail our on Perry. It is obvious that Perry is going nowhere fast.
Does Limbaugh still have any power? I mean the guy is so lame. I wonder if 80% of his past followers have not started to tune him out. I seriously wish he would just stroke out and be a vegetable for a few years. Just be conscious enough to know he is in a very bad situation and waste away slowly. Very very slowly.
Hate to be vengeful but the fat fracker needs some serious malady in his life that makes his money useless
{OAK}TIGER
What's better from his perspective...concerning himself with whether some poor/middle class Americans have jobs, or getting his company a boatload of cash? Bain is in the investment business, not job creation business. Sure this 30 min documentary shows Mitt is just a money grabbing immoral scumbag, but he's super rich and most of you are not. He has no need to care about the average American any more than most other extremely wealthy people do. Isn't getting a hold of as much of the almighty dollar the crux of the American dream?
And running a numbers racket or a drug cartel is illegal. They are all capitalist enterprises. Maybe organized crime just hasn't done the PR work.
As I see it newt has had nothing to do with "When Mitt came to town" video. So why be mad at him. It was a super pac and every one knows a candidate can not make plans in any way shape or form
{OAK}TIGER
at least Newt is good for something, finally.
me-oww!
now... FIRE!

So vulture capitalism is the American way of life Mr. Limpbaugh. Maybe for you and your friends but it aint for the rest of us.
