Republicans better pick Romney if they want to win. Krauthammer is right that Newt sucks.
How "tea party" people can support Newt is beyond me!!!
I believe the point was that Newt ISNT one of our own!
Romney started the fight and then can't handle the heat from Gingrich. It's going to get a whole lot tougher next year and it's clear that Romney doesn't have the strength to duke it out with his critics. I'm even more inclined to support Newt. Can't wait to see him go after Obama, head to head. Haven't you heard yet, Mitt?: Nice guys finish last. That's why we have Obama as president. Krauthammer protects the weak–just like unions do for their unfit members.
I can't stand Newt, Mitt or Charles – it's all a huge circle jerk.
Come on Michele – nail these a-holes to the wall.
Republicans taking advice from a leftist is not at all a winning formula. And that would be you.
Dr. Krauthammer is brilliant! It will make him many enemies. He's got guts! I like Newt, but Romney is OK too, what ever happens reader, please deliver a NOBAMA 2012
PS: Avuncular? I think Krauthammer called Newt the crazy uncle in the the attic. It's getting dirty out there. Question Dr K, what's the difference between peddling influence and peddling short or long stock trades? It seems to me they're both a little racey. Why is consulting not part of the capitalist system?
None of them can beat Obama though. The Tea Party better see if Tim Jeebow wants to run!
Tebow-Palin 2012!
The Hottest Christians You Can Vote For!
Pigeon English is charming, but not advisable on this board I'm afraid. Please relay this to all your little troll friends too.
Perhaps Santa will bring you a thesaurus this year. Oh Boy!
I think Romney has Newt beat in the stealth socialist department.
I believe that ALL politicians should go to jail.
Krauthammer is right. Newt obviously doesn't believe in capitalism. Or he wouldn't have said what he did. If anyone still supports Newt after this please refrain from referring to yourself as a conservative. Because your not.
The real Tea Party would never support Gingrich .
SOUR KRAUTHAMMER GOT HIS PANTIES IN A NEWT…I MEAN KNOT.
I don't always agree with Krauthammer but he is absolutely right on this.
Where are the conservatives? Come on Santorum, Bachmann, it's time for the two of you to rise.
I'd like to go back to my original choice, Michele Bachmann. She's a true conservative. This is just RINO vs. RINO and it's not helping the conservative cause.
If Michele were a male – the race would be over. That's all that's keeping her from a landslide in the eyes of many. Not me, but what other reason could there possibly be?
Her record is more than adequate for the nomination and support of conservatives.
Yep Gingrich is definitely a socialist and that makes Obama a unicorn, Every time Krauthammer opens his mouth on the subject of the GOP nominating process he sounds more idiotic
Agreed
You can always count on Charles to come along and stink up the joint. His idea to raise the gas tax when gas was four / five dollars a gallon was my last straw. He's another elitist.
Krauthammer only cares about one thing-Israel's security. To him everything else in American politics is secondary. He lost me a long time ago.
Exactly, I've supported Santorum all along. I can't believe how many people just jump right on the Newt/Romney bandwagon. If you don't do your own research and just go with name recognition you can end up with a RINO azzclown like Shwarzenegger.
krauthammer is just trying to bolster romney. fact is both newt romney are a couple of progs
"None of them can beat Obama though"
Seen the polls, loser?
right on josiewales2
Agreed!
Should we care that Krauthammer doesn't like Newt and therefore has lost his mind during this primary season? Krauthammer had three points to make about newt when challenged.
1) He disagrees with how Newt made his money. This of course doesn't address at all what Newt said, but brings up another criticism about Newt.
2) That Newt should have had another response. This is a preference, not an argument. If Krauthammer wants to run for President, he can respond to questions however he likes.
3) That Newts comment was anti-capitalist. This is the stupidest thing I have heard in a long time. And Krauthammer, Hugh Hewitt and yes, even Brit Hume should be ashamed of themselves.
Newt made no such comment. Mitt Romney was asked if Newt should return his 1.6 million he made over 8 years from Fannie and Freddie. Mitt Romney said yes, Newt should return the money.
I remember not too long ago that fat moron, Michael Moore, was attending OWS rallies and saying that the 1% should return their money. A reporter in Portland said something along the lines of, "You first buddy!" the point was, Michael Moore was a beneficiary, like the other 1%, of capitalism. And that the capitalists in this country will start giving back their money as soon as Michael Moore does.
Newt had the same response to Mitt Romney. Romney, in effect, was telling Newt Gingrich that he should return the money he made in our wonderful, capitalist society. Newts response was akin to, "You first, buddy." Newt didn't say anything against capitalism, he was pointing out the hypocrisy of Romney telling him to return his money, just as he should have. Just as Michael Moore should have his hypocrisy pointed out.
Thank God for the internet! We don't have to rely on these wrongheaded pundits to tell us what someone else said. We can hear and see it for ourselves.
Yes. Have you?

I enjoyed it more than I am enjoying the Republican primary.
Ron Paul 2012! To hell with the phonies!
This is no surprise. Krauthammer IS the republican elite pundit.
No true scotsman.
Calm down now DEvolved one ! Pull your panties out of your self and take another med. Tomorrow is another day.
Both Romney and Gingrich are political sail boats, they follow the political winds!
The paint looks good above water but the barnicles below the water line, is pure cronieism.
So who do we support?
Only Michele Bachmann has the sand to be a TEA candidate.
She is OUR ONLY hope.
Exactly nymphas. Hugh Hewitt had almost the exact same response when I called him out today on his radio show. When I told him that Newts response was pretty much a, "You first, buddy!" to Romney, Hugh tried to argue that Romney made his money through capitalism, but Newt didn't.
Seriously? Even if this were true, one would have to first establish that Newt agrees with them. If Newt disagrees, then his context is clear. He's mocking Romney just as Michael Moore was mocked back during OWS. When someone tells you to give back the money you've earned, the only good response is, "You first, pal!"
Thanks handLINGit! (See how I changed your name so as to make a clever derivative of the original like you did mine? Except you are the third person today to change mine in that way, but I won't hold that against you because it's an easy play on my name that most people make.)
This is just silly. Newts comments meant he does support capitalism. The opposite of what you say is true. It's Romney who doesn't support capitalism. Newt was merely pointing out Romney's hypocrisy.
If you, D_Bar, came to me and told me to give back the money I have earned, you would be just like Michael Moore at the OWS rallies. And my response to you would be, "You first, buddy!" and that was Newt's response to Mitt Romney. That should be all capitalists response to this nonsense. If someone tells us to give back our hard earned money under capitalism, tell them, "You first!"
If at this point you still haven't made up your mind who you're voting for, or are relying on these talking-heads to convince you rather than researching the candidates' records, qualifications, and histories, you're a dumb-ass and probably shouldn't be voting anyway. Do our nation a favor and stay the hell home on election day.
What the hell is wrong with people on the right? Newt's a "socialist"? This is like when Bill O'Reilly equates Jay-Z with the "far left". yeah, Jay-Z, he's like Che in a Maybach! He's worth 450 million and owns the New York Nets! He is capitalism as in someone who creates products that people want and makes money selling and without bankrupting people while moving numbers around a computer screen. That's not capitalism and saying so is definitely not "socialism".
The problem with Michele Bachman is she doesn't have anything to say.
If she could communicate in a way that made sense, it would be nice. But each time I listen to her being asked questions, it's like she has a preset list of options to choose one and she just starts spouting off one of those options. It's painful to listen to. I wish she were able to tell us what she thinks, rather than give us the same old lines, time and time again. I suppose I should be happy she finally supports 9-9-9 now that Cain is out of the race.
Excellent point, ForgottenDreams.
It's sad to see some of my favorite talking heads losing their minds during the primary season.
(google)santorum? He's a sex obsessed, homophobic freak. He's about as good for the country as a giant swollen roid. What is it with you people? Is reason and a civilized, peaceful society anathema to all of you?
He's got my vote.
Read about what Obama's friends did. http://news.yahoo.com/saudi-arabia-executes-woman...
Newt tries to be witty with almost every comment he makes. He usually succeeds, but I think this one didn't go over so well.
What about Santorum?
Charles Krauthammer, like Newt, sometime says some of the most stupid things, but No one can fault their insite at times. In this instance Krauthammer like Sununu and Quail (who dusted him off? Haven't heard from him since Murphy Brown) and a few other old guard Pols, come off as a DC insider cheerleading for Mittins. Way too much reaction to a fight that Romney picked in the first place. Let those ponys run! Chuck. The main reason I'd choose Newt over Romney is Newt has the heart of a fighter, not every punch is a haymaker but land enough of them and you get the victory. Romney acts like he might get stains on his pants if he mixes it up. Too cute by half.
I'd say Mitt is a nice but passive-aggressive guy. Note how he attacks others indirectly–through ads and his own supporters. Read something online today (can't remember where) that pointed out this is exactly what Romney did in 2008.
I have never heard him speak at a TEA party rally that I have attended, sorry.
Your premise that both are conservative makes me cringe.
WHO would vote for a man who RAN a State nicknamed "Taxachuesetts?', AND so "Blue" my testicles hurt! THAT's A CONSERVATIVE?
The end is nigh.
People have been complaining about the RNC beltway elite for some times now. The Michael Steele's, Rence Priebus's, George Will's, and Charles Krauthammer's illustrate the point. They didn't like Christine O'Donnell so they threw her under the bus. Mitt wasn't the choice of the beltway insiders last time so under the bus and we get McCain. The TEA party, who they despise, handed them a victory and they went out of their way to prevent them from consolidating any power or momentum. This time, Cain wasn't the choice nor was any conservative(Bachmann or Santorum), their choice was Mitt and I think they're a little ticked that Newt seems to be getting out of hand. Krauthammer and people like him need to remember that they only have a few votes and movements like the TEA party have many and we'll only take being kicked for so long.
Do you think he's supporting Mittens campaign? Wonder how much he donated?
Does everyone here realize what a hypocrite Ron Paul is? I was just reading on another site that Ron Paul votes against all of the bills, but makes sure he has plenty of pork included in all of them. So the dishonest little man can vote know, point a finger at everyone else, but sill get whatever he wants put into them. So he has also added to the large deficits, Paul is not so clean. I think I'm going to follow his money!
How can democrats support Obama the communist liar is beyond me!!!
If I had my druthers I'd vote for Tom Cain. Thats one mayor that knows how to keep his folks in line. If he could only get rid of that new tick he's developed.
I'll put my neck on the block with you as far as the candidate's go. Newt's just not to be trusted politically or as a human being. Romney's not trustworthy ideologically. Charles, well, it's hard to say he's not consistent. Like George Will, though, he's an elitist with definite establishment connections. Come the revolution I say we shoot the two politicians for sure, but let Charles and George off with a taste of the lash.
And, yes, Michele is by far the superior conservative and Tea Party choice!
Well said. The #GOPSMARTSET is more than just a bit ticked and they are acting out like BRATS. These types look down at the Tea Party, they want the Tea Party GONE. I'm totally disgusted with the GOP and their minions on Twitter. If we lose in 2012 it will be because these people cannibalized their own and turned off so many conservatives….just so that Mitt Romney can claim the nomination and re-assure the elites of their own brilliance.
And hemlock beats arsenic?
***
Excellent post……..I agree!

wtf is a ron paul anyway, sounds like a coconut candy bar
Chucky, you calling Newt a socialist isn't much better!
Except his foreign policy is nothing more than a full French style retreat, and bury our head in the sand. Because if we just minded our own business, everyone would love us. Ridiculous liberal appeasement mentality. It's no surprise he's such great buddies with Dennis Kucinich. The guy can't even answer a question in a debate without somehow tying in some rant on how evil our foreign policy is. Just what we need another Neville Chamberlain. "Peace in our time." Go Ron Paul.
Wow – I forgot how many of them turned out to be out and out crooks!
I'm with you… Romney & Gingrich are both Progressives. Enough said!
I guess the fix is in for Romney….they're circling the wagons…citing even incendiary terms (socialist)…let us bow to either the media or the Republican "old guard" for our choice…all hail Carl Rove!
Hey, but aside from all that, doesn't Bret Baier ask the best follow up questions?
I thought you were leaving….tease.
All she has to say is bumper sticker sayings and platitudes. The executive experience on her resume is as thin as Obama's.
what the hell is wrong with you.
Grow the hell up!
Sure Newt is bright, but he's also bat-sh** crazy. It's no surprise that Gary Busey endorsed him. They are both cast from the same mold. The problem is he's so intellectual that he can talk himself into anything, like global warming and individual mandates.
with friends like this…..
Dammit…. lets stop eating our own shall we?
So you WOULDN'T vote for a Tebow-Palin GOP ticket?
Sorry, I'm not voting for your chicken-hawk chest beaters who never served a day of their lives in the military, and talk tough despite the fact that it is Congress that has been entrusted with the power to declare war. And, judging by the vast support Ron Paul has from our service men and women (more than all of the other candidates combined), I think I'm on the right side. You probably don't even know the difference between "non-interventionism" and "isolationism," and couldn't tell the difference between liberalism and libertarianism if the fate of the nation depended on it. Sadly it does in some respect, but I'm talking to a wall. The Ron Paul you rail against doesn't exist, he is a caricature formed by RINO's like yourself who don't bother to read the Constitution, research the historical and philosophical roots of conservatism, and are too busy nodding your head to Sean Hannity to look up what the candidates actually believe and why. Sad.
RON PAUL 2012!
Newt just lost the Pug Nose Vote.
I doubt Newt minds.
PART I –
That is called 'turning the tables' on your enemy…to take the attention off of you. Fact is, America, both of them are deep in bed with NWO organizations and neither are what we need in our White House in 2012!
Romney…

Neither could win…neither will win…neither should run!
Newsflash: The media will push in the primary those they can most easily destroy in the general. Don't be suckers.
But Krauthammer was "hammering" an argument from the left. Newt was spouting socialist, class warfare bull$hit and it's not a good sign that so many on this board didn't IMMEDIATELY notice that. Krauthammer was right to call him on it and so was Brit Hume who did so on the same broadcast:
http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/special-report/inde...
This is going to come back to bite Newt hard no matter how many of the cheerleaders who have jumped on his bandwagon here thumb down the obvious implication.
We had been for warned for some time that if Gingrich came up in the polls, those who support the GOP establishment would began to attack him. It is occurring from all corners as predicted with lots of surprises from people I thought would hold their fire on Newt. Like Michael Savage,Krauthammer,Brit Hume, and Ann Coulter.
On the good side there are former detractors about a Gingrich Presidency that are coming back into his camp.
I want YOU to live in the REAL world.
I want you to understand whats happening in Europe, the middle east. I WANT you to understand why Taiwan, South Korea, Poland, Japan, Israel, and so many many more are in jeopardy. I want you to understand the Islam brotherhood and North Africa. I want you to understand that we have candidates. Perhaps not the candidates you might wish for; but there you go.
I want you to do research; I want you to educate yourself. I want you to do so much more… for yourself. Another conversation perhaps.
I want you to stop living in a fantasy word and become more pragmatic.
Again, grow up.
Our elites are corrupted.
I guess that's a no. Oh well, Obama it is then…
Total Bull Krauth… You say GOP shouldn't attack each other but yet… Romney did first? And others have… Newt responded, and listen to yourself Krauth… your attacking Newt… Man they don't like Newt, that is obvious, But Krauth that was being a Hypocrite anyone can replay the video and listen to him…
Sure I want Bachmann or Santorum, but I may vote for Newt… To make sure we get this… Other wise Romney may get in there… Still deciding… Basically if Ron Paul or Romney get to close in the polls and Bachmann and Santorum are to low then WE are voting for Newt…
But Krauth either way in a few minutes you made yourself a hypocrite said one thing then did that very thing… Anyone to deny that did not listen to the video.
If someone is for Newt or not for Newt, the fact is clear the media folks do not want him, Beck , Krauth, and it appears FoxNews… and others…
So is Newt a conservative or is he a progressive? One can't be both. They are opposites. The evidence is guiding me toward a belief that Newt is a progressive. Obama is a progressive. If we continue along that route, the US as we know it will end.
honestly, I attempted to help you.
I have no idea what you are talking about, unless of course I walked right into that one.
You are a smarmy little liberal troll.
Well good for you.
You are who you will always be.
Someone that thinks they are entitled to others work. You suck the governments teet, like a newborn.
You will never have anything because you won't work for anything. You will suck the life out of those that trust you. You are so sad and a perfect example of a liberal.
The absolute shame that your parents must bear must be intolerable.
Boy talk about lying…your just afraid of a 'real' 'conservative…and you should be because we are truthful, upright and committed to making America better!

She was tea party before there was a tea party…she started the tea party caucus to give us more of a voice in Congress…she has pressed for legislation that benefited all but represented all 'real' conservatives in doing so.
She sits on the highly classified House Intelligence Committee and makes daily decisions on foreign policy…she is the mother of (5)…foster mother of (23)…a small business woman…and a tax lawyer…AND YOU BUBBA COULDN'T HOLD A CANDLE TO ANY OF THOSE CREDENTIALS!
Congressional record…Rep Bachmann…
http://ontheissues.org/House/Michele_Bachmann.htm
Are you looking for an actual debate on the GOP contenders vs. Obama? Or would you rather have a name-calling fest? I will debate with you if you want, but I have a hunch you'd prefer the latter…
I am one of those military members, but I don't appreciate Ron Paul characterizing the last 10 years of life's service including multiple deployments to Afghanistan as a "waste." I DO know exactly what a libertarian is, most succinctly: a Conservative without Morals. For all Ron Paul's supposed respect for the Founding Fathers, even James Madison and Thomas Jefferson recognized that some people in the world only respond to strength and a show of force, or haven't you heard of the Barbary pirates or the "shores of Tripoli." (Surprisingly radical Muslims who took it as their duty to kill or enslave non Muslims). As far as being a RINO, I'll take the Conservative "Pepsi challenge" against you my friend any day of the week.

Well Charles I guess it's comforting to the folks that were laid-off from Romney, that he did it in the private sector.
A "NEW DEAL" Republican pot calling a "PROGRESSIVE" Republican kettle black …
It doesn't even matter which of the two gets elected — the outcomes will be the same:
BIG spending, BIG government, BIG entitlement = "Obamanomics Soft".
Slower than Obama, but going the same direction nonetheless.
But if the choice comes to Obama and any of the RINOs the choice is clear: any day a RINO over Obama. It's the price you pay when the People failed to learn their lesson.
Just because they pretend to be in your corner…doesn't mean they are!
There are only (2) 'real' conservatives in this race…and it isn't Romney, Gingrich, Huntsman, Paul or Perry!
I agree with you on the point of asking him to give the money back he made lobbying for fannie and freddie. I wouldn't do that. He earned it legally. I was referring to him bagging on Romney's venture capital firm as shutting down companies and firing people. That is straight out of OWS and Michael Moore (since you brought him up) type rhetoric.
A 'real' conservative should never, ever settle for '2nd best' or the 'lesser of two evils' any longer…there are (2) 'real' conservatives in the bunch who deserve our attention and our vote! Pick one or be prepared to get the same ol'…same ol'!

I think Ill just tune into Krauthammer when he is hammering the left, since he sure as hell can't wait to destroy our own
