Newt's flip-flops and lies

One argument could be the Republican candidates with brains choose to sit this one out due to their belief the "hopey changey" president is unbeatable.

I know, I see the silliness of that argument, but I bet you don't ;)
 
Newt says his infidelity makes him "more normal than somebody who wanders around seeming perfect and maybe not understanding the human condition."

I'd find that a more reasonable approach than his older one--his infidelity was the result of his very egregious love of country. Even so, Newt will not be content with arguing that he is "more normal" when he thrives on grandiosity (or perhaps more accurately, megalomania).
 
Oh, Newt's famous "take-down" of John King at the debate the other night contained a bald-faced lie:

Newt Gingrich Was Lying About ABC’s Interview With His Ex-Wife, Of Course

Graduate-level reprobate Newt naturally and easily lobbed this softball out of the park in part with an angry claim that his campaign provided family friends who could testify the story was false but that ABC had rebuked the offers. This claim, it seems, was just a fall-back to one of Newt’s most trusted rhetorical techniques: Flat-Out Lying.

The Guardian captured Gingrich’s irritated reply in its live blog of that fateful night:

Let me be quite clear. Let me be quite clear. The story is false. Every personal friend I have who knew us in that period said the story was false. We offered several of them to ABC to prove it was false. They weren’t interested because they would like to attack any Republican.​

WAS THAT QUITE CLEAR? Yes, it was quite clearly a lie which the Gingrich campaign, having exploited the episode to win South Carolina and something called “momentum,” is now not even bothering to try to defend in any way, shape, or form:

“Tonight, after persistent questioning by our staff, the Gingrich campaign concedes now Speaker Gingrich was wrong — both in his debate answer, and in our interview yesterday,” King said on [last night's] edition of John King USA. “Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond says the only people the Gingrich campaign offered to ABC were his two daughters from his first marriage.”​

One thing about Newt...

...he will always love America. Unless of course America gets cancer.

How would his friends know what was said in private between Newt and his wife?

Surely I can't be the only one who remembers that Mr. Gingrich's presidential nomination campaign quest kicked off with a flip-flop?

I wondered that also. It's just making **** up as you go along and those on the right are not likely to think about it.
 
Newt Gingrich Invents Obama Quote About Gas Prices

“I thought today, in one of the most shallow and self-serving comments by a president I’ve heard in a long time, he was candid in his press conference,” Gingrich said. “He said, you know, I’m really worried about higher gas prices because it will make it harder for me to get re-elected. I did not make this up.”

Except Gingrich kind of did make it up.

Here’s what Obama actually said at this Tuesday press conference when asked about gas prices by Fox News’ Ed Henry.

“Your critics on Capitol Hill have said you want gas prices to go higher, because you have said before that will ween the American people off fossil fuels and onto renewable fuels,” Henry said. “How do you respond to that?”

Here’s what Obama said:

Ed, just from a political perspective, do you think the President of the United States, going into reelection, wants gas prices to go up even higher? … Is there anybody here who thinks that makes a lot of sense?​

From the guy who's making gas prices the centerpiece of his campaign.
