Isn't allready, No wait he's the Tea Party candidate or is he the Republican candidate,No he's the next King! But he'll will win in Nevada and Minnesota..
LOL xxxooo . . .
Well . . . Newt Gingrich is already independent of his sanity, integrity, conscience, soul, sincerity, and compassion for others . . .
I guess this makes him an ' independent ' candidate !
the only reason i can see where newt might make an independent run is to split the republican vote, thereby assuring a win for Barack Obama.
he hates mitt romney, and maybe he hates him enough.
that would be very amazing to watch.
MN is not happen with the Repug and Newt is just a joke just like Bachmann.
d trump and nasty newt. Yes they can run on the independent ticket. I'd love to see it. Egos sure are interesting things. They get you all trumped up. or is that all tripped up?
@TMom
I wonder how Newt and the Donald would decide who was #1 and who was VP. What sort of knock down drag out would that be?
Not a pretty picture.
It sort of sounded like it. He has the perfect possible running mate with experience in Sarah Palin. Go Newt & Sarah.
Your right! So that's why she's been sucking up the the Czary old Newt!
Re: Palin:
There are 3 words/definitions in the dictionary that describe her:
SMOKE SCREEN:
1. A ruse
designed to disguise someone's real intentions or activities.
2. Something
designed to obscure, confuse, or mislead.
SHALLOW:
1. Having little depth <shallow water>
2: Penetrating only the easily or quickly perceived <shallow generalizations> b: lacking in depth of knowledge, thought, or feeling <a shallow demagogue/agitator/orator/manipulator/crowd pleaser>.
THEATRICS:
1. Staged or contrived effects.
The above words/definitions are just a few that describe Palin’s true essence and nature. This is why people DO NOT take her seriously. She is just one of many examples of the types of representatives who support the “Republican” party with campaign’s promises that are created to blow smoke screens so thick with double minded rhetoric whereas (a Republican’s mission is to hide TRUTH with LIES within the smoke of it all). Guess what? Who are they fooling? Not me! Also, Palin is a deluge of bad theatrics/performances with scripts that write her into a corner of self-indulging transparencies of errors; making her the 21st Century “dame” to ever gain the Academy Award of Mrs. “SHALLOW “of bad politics who is “CLUELESS” even at her very best. She, Newt and Mitt are the three stooges of satire. Need I say more???? Al thanks for telling it like it is!!!
@esd2000
I originally thought that Herman Cain might be a possible running mate for Newt, since he's a fellow traveler with Newt on the adultery road. But you are right.... perhaps Sarah Palin would be a better fit.
Since Newt can easily get the Nitwit TEAbag male vote but has more trouble with attracting the female vote. Sarah would easily win him that valuable Nitwit TEAbag female vote he needs.
@Debra-Linda
LOL... I agree. That is most definitely an appropriate definition for Palin. So are many definitions for Palin's self-named term "rogue".

not that it matters, because Barack will win a second term (i do worry about the voter suppression laws), but i doubt if any repub would be ignorant enough to put sarah palin on the ticket. its fun to speculate about how out-of-touch the repubs are, but surely they learned a lesson from sarah palin the first time around.
i am really waiting for the "game change" movie in march. i just added HBO to my cable, (i miss watching Bill Maher while i ride my bike).
Newt can try to run as an independent and he will be sent to the fishing pond. I have watched his comments and he has been using racial statements throughout his whole campaign. I watched his supporters that tried to come to his aid, including Mr. Steele. We the people are not fooled by coded lanquage. I as a 62 year old have watch guy's like Newt over the past 50 years, who knows what they are doing and saying. One of the greatest tricks of the devil was to make all to believe that he doesn't exist and that is not his intention to use the RACE card. That is a LIE! I was not born yesterday. He is playing the RACE card and so is Mitt. The America the Beautiful, give me a break....
I'll be impressed when Mitt can sing the Star Spangled Banner like Marvin Gaye...
He better keep his day job.......Oh that's right he don't have one..never has..never will..
xxxooo . . . Newt has a great ' snow job ' he does every time he speaks . . . he will be keeping that job I am sure !
He can make one of those speacking engagements that pay so well. There are a lot of easy pickens on the far right wing.
: = )
Anyone in their right mind would never VOTE Republican because they are racist, and Newt is really racist. and will say anything to GET a VOTE!!! and will SMILE in your FACE.
This guy was despicable in the 90's and is now. Romney is a fool no doubt but not on the same level of despicable. Romney is kind of clueless on many issues. Gingrich would sell out your grandmother if it meant he got ahead. Being ruthless does not make you a great man, or woman. As far as Palin, have we not suffered enough with the likes of her. Talk about morally bereft. She does alot of pretending.
Palin couldn't play herself in a movie..
Whats with the blog many words are spell checked and spelt right???
you can't spell them like you say em. I spelt that right didn't I? I did think it was spelled? But not according to spell check.
Them word are some confusing......my Japanese Daughter in law, speaks the English language very well, and writes it too. She has trouble with word that sound the same to her but mean different things. example: "I feel ok, but will you fill that glass with water for me." Both of those fail the spell check if reversed.
@TMom
Actually... "feel" and "fill" aren't supposed to be pronounced or sound the same. "feel" has a digraph "ee" which is a pair of letters representing one sound /e/, or a long /e/. The /i/ in "fill" has a short /i/ sound.
Remember... I'm a speech therapist, and teaching the correct pronunciation of phonemes or single speech sounds, etc. is part of the job.
But she is Japanese and it sounds the same to her when you use the word. Speaking of that her daughter of 7 would pick that up because her English teacher, teaches her perfect English. When I talk to her on the phone, I told her Dad that she speaks better English than I do.
Once again, Floridians have proven that they're fickle and swayed by the moment rather than having lastng beliefs.
I HOPE Newt runs as an independant, it will fracture the Republican Party beyond any chance of repair and give us a chance to create a NEW GOP with fewer Neo-Cons and religious fools in control!
I agree 100%
When I was a very young person we had many Republicans in our community who were part of America just like every one else . . . they just happened to be conservative . . .
Hopefully after Obama / Biden / and a Democratic majority triumph in 2012 the Republicons will reintroduce themselves to BEING PART of America again . . . instead of LIVING OFF of America.
floridians are not fickle, they are just falling in line with mitt, because it is his TURN!
@MsT
I only wish that were true, but unfortunately it seems that the Repugs, with the help and influence of the Fox propaganda network and other rightwing nut loonies have decided that their extreme views are the correct American beliefs. That theirs is the correct interpretation of the Constitution.
They have come to believe their own lies that it is the Democrats/Liberals/Progressives that are incorrect and trying to destroy the American way.... therefore UnAmerican. And I doubt anything will convince them differently short of a lobotomy.
The Independent party won't work for Newt because that voting base is not racist enough.
Maybe he can convince some!
The perfect way to frame the GOP race.
The punch line ...
Dear Willard ' Mitt ' Romney :
Here is the price break down to get the " Look " of a Fascist, Racist, Republicon in order to appeal to the far right :
Complete Lipo-Brain Suck / $ = A piece of your conscience
Total Heart Removal / $ = A piece of your soul
Total Body Bleach Dip / $ = A piece of your integrity
Fitting For Blinders / $ = Another piece of your conscience
Fitting For Ear Plugs / $ = Another piece of your soul
Walking In Lock Step Lessons / $ = A piece of your integrity
The Fascist Droid Hair Cut / $ = A piece of your dignity
The Stepford Suit Look / $ Free with all of the above
TOTAL COST TO BECOME A FASCIST, RIGHT-WING ROBOT :
Everything about you that is priceless and makes you the precious individual that you are . . .
Oh wait . . . This already applies to Willard ' Mitt ' Romney and all the other Republicon Candidates . . .
Never mind . . . .
Crackhead,
thanks for the links to the articles.
Yes . . . thank you . . .
Crack, I'm sure you did not find that info on the coservative hate sights. They don't post true facts, just their twist and spin conversation, that they believe are facts. I love the fact that when they make these "form their mouth to everyones ears" statements....... We can remember them well.
Ann C, is a gift to the Democratic party and a curse on the Republicans.
@MsT
I think Robme has already done all of those things. I don't see any heart, soul, conscience, integrity, etc in him, nor empathy, compassion or human feeling. In fact, I think he had to get rid of most of those things to do his corporate raiding.
Finger wagging my @#$%
You should check this information first about POTUS...
www.scribd.com/doc/54015762/Barack-Hussein-Obama-Sr-Immigration-File
What part of fake don't you understand?
Sybil, just came on to wag his finger, and throw a rock. Not "old" enough to post a link. Too bad, he failed to make his point.
The fact MSNBC keeps Sharpton on says everything about the validity of the information. Sharpton has long played the IRS and owes millions in back taxes while saying others should pay more.
Not as much as Mittens has or the fact that most of Mittens money is hidden in the Cayman Islands. Typical tea bagging republican worried about a $100 dollars yet billions escape their notice. Even funnier is they think they are going to be wealthy.
Good for Al, he dressed the newt pac bully down.
@Obama loses in November...is that the best you can do and/or say????? You honestly live somewhere between oblivion and never. Your comments always fall short of reality and remember this if youcan't remember anything else; Rev. Sharpton doesn't need your approval orthoughtless comments. Again, it is so
obvious that you feel that a black man and/or black woman don’t have the right
to speak their truths (especially our wonderful and Dear President Obama)???? Hey wake-up!!!!
I see you've adopted the ideology of what I call "Plantation Politics 2012"; for
this should be the "Repus" official title of their vicious campaign of foolishness (since Newt, likes to play and dazzle his supporters with the “Race”
card and is envious that President Obama can hold a tune and sing a soulful
verse of Al Green’s “I’m So In Love With You”. Stop being a player hater. Don't you know that African-Americans are FREE from the Overseers and Masters of (those days of captivity and chains)?
African-Americans have a right to “Freedom of Speech”!!! Stop your LIES that are meant to confuse and miss-lead folks on venues such as this. Get a life and STOP trying to put African-Americans in bondage!!!! I wonder, when was the last time you paid taxes; or let’s just say where is your money stored??? I bet it is in a foreign and somewhere to avoid taxes!!!! Oh by the way, MSNBC recognizes that it is only fair to extend employment to folks of color of ALL creeds and hues. If you doubt that, just go and ask the ACLU…
Thankful, I hope they show that segment again. It was a Grammy moment for Al Sharpton. The DNC Chairman came off as a pompous a%$ ! Then when he started on MS NBC and Race I am amazed he was"nt escorted off the set. He was smug and acted like a punk. Al sure held his own, in Mohammad Alie's words. "HE FLOATED LIKE BUTTERFLY AND STUNG LIKE A BEE!"
No wonder Romney is being backed financially by another corporate raider. And yet Romney claims to be for the middle class. Yeah right.
And all this while the GOP in Congress decided they're not even going to look at the proposed bill to help home owners with their mortgages. Ironic, isn't it?
Who's the rich?

Whatcu doing posting that cosevetive noise link? I did know you would post a lie? Did you go looking after Kathe's post last night? Thanks xxx that was an eye opener!
Its been said that Obama is the greatest food stamp President, WOW I thought he got paid more than that!
I don't blame gingrich for being pissed off, this has become a circus. I would not vote for newt, but with Romney, enough is enough. Romney has not really said much on foreign affairs, little of the same on the economy, only released last years tax returns and this years coming, how about previous to that when he was making these deposits in the cayman islands. He has tried to smoke screen people saying his father was born in Mexico, to hear it and not knowing you at first thought he was of mexican descent, until later on another interview he states his father was of american descent, I fould that very decieving. His campaign has become just about money, not qualifcations, like he is trying to buy the presidential spot by destroying everyone around him with money. Its great he's got money thats good but use it for the right reasons not self gain for power
Mitt's grand-daddy was forced to flee the law, because he was a polygamous Mormon who refused to give up the right to have as many wives as he wanted. That's the only reason he moved to Mexico, where Mitt's daddy was born...
Funny how nobody bothered to bring this up when Daddy was running for President. Then again, Daddy didn't LOOK foreign...
You need to understand how it goes. It's only a bad thing if you're a democrat, if you're a republican everything goes. Wasn't John McCain born in Panama? Who questioned that? Where was that Orly Taitz weirdo back then?
The entire GOP field is nothing but a pathetic circus. This is no surprise though, just look at the tea party and their leaders, and you'll see.
Here's a little something on Allen West, warning, it's pretty disturbing.
http://openrange2.newsvine.com/_news/2012/02/01/10290230-meet-allen-west
Wondering where all the right side is today? Out hitting your seeds.
Oh and wait, he's just one out of more than a dozen Tea Party nut jobs that I'll write about.
I think if old Pewt did run as an independent it would be great. It would split the republican party to pieces!
Notice my avatar, it is already split. But three way split would be better. Go for it nasty newt.
The question should have been "Is this guy thinking?"
