Quote of the Day: Linoge

I haven’t even read all the comments from last night but I’m gonna call it right now for Linoge

I have little respect for a person who cannot keep his word.

And, for that matter, anyone who votes for Newt is as stupid as his second wife.

Well said. Granted none of them keep their word on any side, still Newt’s been out there in the national eye since I was a teenager, and he never went home to the “Real World” when we had the good sense to fire him. He still lives in Washington DC.

If you vote for Newt you should know what you’re getting, just like Marianne Gingrich should have known that guy she was dating with a wedding ring on his finger wasn’t the type of guy you can trust to keep for yourself.

  1. I can’t remember where on Twitter I saw this or the exact words, so I’ll paraphrase,

    I don’t care. If he gets the nomination he gets my vote. At least he was fucking a woman, not the whole country.

  2. Linoge says:

    Why thank you, Weer’d.

    I almost respect Romney more – he at least knows what he is after and is not ashamed enough to hide it. Newt is scant more than a spineless pinnant blowing in the breeze of popular opinion and his own base desires.

    • Weerd Beard says:

      Tho Romney is running from his Tax Record, as well as his political record as fast as he can.

      He won’t dare let them pin that moniker of a gun-banning, pro-choice, abortion-funding, socialist, carpet bagger who hires illegal alien labor that he was back when he lived in Belmont Mass.

    A couple of issues with the above.

    First, Newt wasn’t “fired”. He resigned. Perhaps he would have lost the GOP vote to be Speaker, but his seat was always safe. He resigned.

    Second, he doesn’t live in Washington DC. He lives in Virginia. I know to some people it is the same thing, but to those of us living in Virginia there is a big difference.

  4. Daniel in Brookline says:

    In re Gingrich, the words of Pres. Lincoln in re Gen. Grant come to mind:

    I cannot spare this man. He fights.

    Anyone willing to take the fight directly to President Obama scares the daylights out of his hardcore supporters (including most of the journalistic set). Such people are Palinized until they go away, or are destroyed. It happened to Michelle Bachmann, it happened to Herman Cain, and it’s happening now to Gingrich. (Gingrich, perhaps uniquely among this year’s GOP crop, has some experience with standing his ground while the entire American Left is out to get him. So he’s withstood the heat of the fire that was too much for the others. Let it also be noted that our Dear President Obama could not withstand one tenth of the criticism that Gingrich has.)

    That’s not to say I want Gingrich as our next President, although if he’s the nominee I’ll certainly vote for him. But as long as he can draw fire from the Left — and fight back — he needs to be where he is. And if a President Romney names him Secretary of State, well, we could do a lot worse.

    (My preferred candidate, of course, is not running. That’s the way it goes.)
