Romney doesnt give a dang about jobs . he is all about making profits for himself and his foreign investors who bankroll him for business takeovers . if romney could save the company and its jobs and still make 10 million profit OR bankrupt the company and make 11 million profit , he would bankrupt the company . he is a wall st corporate raider its his history of how he made his money . facts are facts if you want to sugarcoat him and wrap him up in a red white and blue fantasy , fox news would enjoy your support in their studio stands

Here's your boy ....
He was disciplined in January 1997 by the House of Representatives for an ethics violation, although a full hearing was avoided. Following a poor Republican showing in the 1998 Congressional election, Gingrich announced his resignation from the House on November 5, 1998, under pressure from his Republican colleagues.
Gingrich and others in the House, including the newly minted Gang of Seven, railed against what they saw as ethical lapses under Democratic control for almost 40 years. The House banking scandal and Congressional Post Office scandal were emblems of the exposed corruption. Gingrich himself was among the 450 members of the House who had engaged in check kiting; he had overdrafts on twenty-two checks, including a $9,463 check to the Internal Revenue Service in 1990.
Check kiting is the illegal act of taking advantage of the float to make use of non-existent funds in a checking or other bank account; it is a form of check fraud. It is commonly defined as intentionally writing a check for a value greater than the account balance from an account in one bank, then writing a check from another account in another bank, also with non-sufficient funds, with the second check serving to cover the non-existent funds from the first account
I'll take Stupid over this cheating piece of shit who feels that he is entitled to your fvcking Hard Earned Tax Money !
Gingrich wrongly claimed “that, when I was speaker, we had four consecutive balanced budgets.” Only two of the four occurred while Gingrich was speaker.
Gingrich Well, first of all, the case I make is that, when I was speaker, we had four consecutive balanced budgets, the only time in your lifetime, Brian, that we’ve had four consecutive balanced budgets.
This boast is something that we have refuted numerous times. He has claimed to have “helped” balance the federal budget for four consecutive years. This time, he went beyond that in claiming that all four occurred under his watch as speaker of the House.
The federal government had four consecutive balanced budgets from fiscal years 1998 to 2001. Gingrich announced in November 1998 that he would resign as speaker. He left the House in January 1999. He was speaker when Congress passed federal budgets in fiscal years 1998 and 1999, but not 2000 and 2001.
Just for the record I AM Not a Democrat ... most often I vote Republican but, prefer to Vote for the Individual (screw party lines). I just especially hate pompous, self serving, lying asswipes like GINGRICH . I feel that the whole political system is broken and corrupt; controlled by people looking out only for their OWN self serving (Sarah Palin) interests.
CNN excerpt (yep just the part that I like)
Still, we do not back off an inch from our analysis that Republican elites are panic-stricken by the prospect of Newt Gingrich being their nominee. And we draw this conclusion from listening to people who understand the GOP far better than we.
Former Rep. Susan Molinari, who served with Gingrich in the House, has made an ad for Mitt Romney in which she rips her former colleague for "leadership by chaos." Molinari knows Newt well, as she was the keynote speaker at the 1996 Republican convention. Surely, she must know something about the Republican Party. When asked whether she would support Gingrich if he defeated her candidate for the nomination, she demurred, saying, "It would be very difficult for me to support Newt Gingrich for president."
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie presumably understands the GOP. A strong Romney supporter, Christie has excoriated Gingrich. "He was run out of the speakership by his own party," said Christie. "This is a guy who has had a very difficult political career at times and has been an embarrassment to the party."
Jim Talent, former senator from Missouri and another former Gingrich colleague, also supports Romney, and attacks Newt lustily. "He is not a reliable and trustworthy conservative," Talent says, "because he is not a reliable and trustworthy leader." Ouch.
Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu, who worked closely with Gingrich when Newt was a top GOP leader in the House, has also thrown in his lot with Romney -- and has also volunteered to swing the hatchet. Sununu basically called Newt nuts, telling CNN, "You can't have somebody that's really as irrational and perceives himself as Winston Churchill or the equivalent of Margaret Thatcher or Charles de Gaulle."
Ari's White House colleague during the Bush years and current CNN colleague, David Frum, wrote Monday, "Over a political career of nearly 40 years, Gingrich has convinced almost everybody who has ever worked closely with him that he cannot and should not be trusted with executive power."
And if we may engage in speculation, then we would say that the closer you are to Gingrich, the more likely you are to be a Republican and the less likely you are to vote for him. Just recently, columnist George Will wrote in The Washington Post, "Gingrich, however, embodies the vanity and rapacity that make modern Washington repulsive."
The aforementioned statements, plus the inevitable onslaught of other facts that will continue to come out, make the possibility of Gingrich being nominated literally nonexistent. His character flaws, in our opinion, are the reasons he is unelectable as president of the United States.
And when some of the most prominent, powerful and popular Republicans in America are saying Gingrich is unstable, unelectable and unreliable, that's panic. That's not just saying you disagree with him on, say, immigration or taxes. This is full-on, run-for-your-life terror. And we couldn't be happier to be commenting on it. That's something we are sure Ari does understand.:

Dawg, I disagree with your assessment of Newt on several fronts, maybe because I worked on Capitol Hill in the 90s and while they never won me over to ths dark side, I do understand how things in that cesspool worked then. Your kiting allegation is true, but there is a significant backstory that goes along with it...one that changes the context of Newt's actions tremendously. Too long to go into detail here about.
Reason I'm responding to your long post that I quoted is that I admire and applaud you for the quoted phrase. You're so right on it....While I have voted R for virtually all my life, if the corrupt political system is ever gonna be fixed (and it won't in my lifetime), the two existing parties must be TAKEN DOWN...Candidate over Party, but more important to the dildos we have in DC...COUNTRY OVER PARTY! Sadly, while Newt may very well be as big an asswipe as you allege, we have to find the BEST of the INFERIOR running to put into the WH....if for no other reason that to just stop the government takeover of freedoms...Frankly, I wish the GOP would nominate a TOASTER OVEN to run in November...The kitchen appliance would likely win in a landslide.
