Standard Republican stance.

"We have something better. Elect us and we'll tell you what it is. Maybe."

Gingrich says he's a potential 2012 contender
Posted: January 14th, 2010 01:02 PM ET

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney



(CNN) - Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says he's among a handful of Republican candidates who are thinking about running for president in 2012.

"I think I'm probably on a list of seven or eight possible candidates at this stage," Gingrich reportedly told reporters in North Carolina Wednesday before speaking to a gathering of conservatives. Joe DeSantis, Gingrich's communications director, confirmed the accuracy of the quotes to CNN.

"We have a lot of people around the country who would like to have somebody who represents a commitment to replace the current failed programs and to develop a set of solutions that are practical and workable," Gingrich also said.

Among the other Republican candidates Gingrich named as possible 2012 contenders included former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. Also included on Gingrich's list are Govs. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, Mitch Daniels of Indiana, Haley Barbour of Mississippi, Rick Perry of Texas and Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. South Dakota Sen. John Thune may also be a potential candidate, Gingrich said.

Gingrich said he would make a decision about his own political future next year after discussing the prospect of a presidential bid with his wife.

9. Looks like his current wife is trying to kill him with cholesterol
before she gets sick or too old and he divorces her in favor of the next model.

As for his ideas for the next GOP white hope, he's just rattling off the names of the ones who haven't been caught in major scandals. Yet.

10. If thos solutions were real and workable then why didn't
Edited on Thu Jan-14-10 01:31 PM by MUAD_DIB
the GOPiggies enact those policies when they had control of the White House and Congress?


It never fails to amuse me to what extent these clowns will fall all over themselves saying they have the solutions to the mess that they created, but we have to trust them first.

11. Translation: funnel those tax$$ to gop cronies/subcontractors
rather than have government agencies do it. All under the guise of saving money. :rofl:

12. Chickenhawk Gingrich, to mix metaphors, is just another Pale Horse
Edited on Thu Jan-14-10 01:33 PM by SpiralHawk
He knows he's a pathetic wife-dumping chickenhawk clown, and that he's not going to win, and more than Republicon 'reverend' Pat 'kick-them-while-their-down' Robertson.

Newtie just wants a platform (excuse) to spew more perverse Republicon 'Family Values' FAIL talking points and negativity -- more generally known as 'Pale Horseshit.'

13. I can't believe this fuckwad has the gall to show his face in public
let alone lie that he has 'practical and workable' solutions.

The conservative agenda has been proven a complete and utter failure. They damn near ruined the world and they shouldn't be allowed to have anything to do with government at all. Ever again.

14. Tax cuts. No government. Let the marketplace decide everything.
That's it.
That's what he has been saying for most of his political career, and all he knows.

Newt is an immoral ignorant little blowhard, perfect for the Republican presidential nomination.
