Nancy Pelosi's potentially-damaging information on Newt Gingrich

[Ausm]

It also sums up 90% of the dems.

politics in general is a mess.


anyway. anyone that votes for Newt is a idiot. While i don't care for Obama i do not think Newt is the answer. not that it matters who we put in office. It's no longer "for the people" its "for the business and what they can do for me". all that will change is what business controls what.

I know this but I doubt Politics will be fixed in my lifetime so I align myself with a Party which supposedly represents my values.

It's good to know that Nancy Pelosi, who is one of the richest members of the House and who keeps the United Farm Workers Union out of her vineyards and who uses insider information in her Wall Street trades represents your values.

OK, I am a democratic partisan, now all you GOP folks, I double dog dare you to make Newt your 2012 POTUS nominee.

How is this any different than what just happened to Herman Cain. Who initially looked baggage free until various woman came out of the woodwork to accuse Herman of past sexual harassment. And the charges became a little harder for Cain to deny, when some of his accusers had won judgments against him in court. But the final straw, was when a woman who had a 13 year affair with Cain came out, and when Cain had concealed that from his wife, he was even in trouble at the home front. As he thereafter suspended his campaign.

Newt also somewhat looked good in the unexamined State, until his 1997 congressional ethical lapses resurfaced. AS THEY ARE PART OF THE PUBLIC RECORD available for ANYONE TO EXAMINE. And because it was the GOP who gave Newt the ole heave ho as speaker shortly thereafter, Newt has not held a single political office since.

And if the GOP thinks Newt's record stunk then, wait until the press starts digging into Newt's probably illegal lobbying behavior from 2008-2011. With luck, Newt might escape jail time. But I expect, we don't even know about more than 10% the Newt skeletons that are likely to come pouring out of his closets in the near future. But still, its a GOP decision on who to nominate for POTUS. As I suspect the GOP will now start to examine Newt and again find him very lacking in the leadership they want.

So its respect for the role which prevented Pelosi from releasing this info before? So now she no longer respects the institution and role? Or political reasons have caused her to change her mind? Come on.. we all know why this is being released now.

What are you afraid of?

 

[Spikesoldier]

This from the women who has personally benefited from insider trading secrets regarding VISA. Continue spewing your filth Nancy.

Not to mention conveniently having tons of obamacare waivers in her own district, when it was supposed to be 'good' for everyone; and having one of LARGEST (90,000 customers strong) the few MMJ dispensaries left standing in CA after fed crackdown.

Do you guys think its convenient or coincidence?

Really? They really supposedly represent your values? I guess you've never heard the saying "actions speak louder than words"? Sign of a weak man with weak convictions. I join no party because no party can fully represent me and my values. I believe groups do not recognize nor care about the individuals, only the entities survival.

You'd have to assign that pic to 9/10th of the people/posts here. Little realize they are all crooks & liars, all work for a small minority of Americans not you, and nothing is going to change no matter how bad they will it or sling shit at one another.

You know you're one of my favorite posters right?

You didn't understand when I replied that I was a partisan? You obviously didn't spend that quarter I flipped you to buy a clue, what did you spend it on? Maybe we can get Government funding to provide you with a clue.

thats why i love this picture. blind to views other than the ones programmed in their heads, and completely ignorant that they are up to their necks in horse shit coming out of their mouths; blind to their own hackery. and sadly blind to the prosperous alternatives around them, while they just keep chasing that measly carrot on a stick dangled in front of them by the elite minority hellbent on screwing ALL americans over. WAKE UP PEOPLE!

also, +1

We all know nobody on the right takes advantage of insider trading in Congress

Sorry, I was just asking for clarification.

As I just said about pokerguy, your tone here says it all. Gingrich is, and always has been, a bad guy, and any thinking Republican should be seriously afraid of his nomination. His reprimand and $300K penalty (which were unprecedented as applied to the Speaker) were recommended by an ethics panel chaired by a Republican. The fact that more detailed information on his infractions wasn't released sooner reflects respect for the institution and the role of the Speaker of the House.

You are funny. Keep saying that everyone's tone is such that we "know" Gingrich is a bad guy, and maybe even you will begin to beleive it.

No one on here will change any one else's mind. But the fact that someone like Gingrich can be a "bad guy", must imply that you think Obama is evil incarnate by comparison.

Personally, I don't think Obama is evil. I jsut think he was way under-prepared for the role of President, and incapable of mvoing from his rigid ideologies, unlike Clinton. Thus, while he rebuked Bush for increasing our debt by 4 trillion in 8 years, he himself owns almost 5 trillion in additional debt in jsut 3 years. Not evil, but clearly incompetent.

I agree he was not prepared for the type of unparalleled obstructionism he would be seeing from the Republicans but you statement of Obama's rigid ideology is laughable at best.

It always amazes me that folks forget that the Democrats pretty much owned the Congress from 2006 to 2008, and ruled it from 2008 to 2010. They passed every bill Obama wanted, whether the Republicans wanted them to or not. The Republicans had no ability to obstruct Obama at all. And Pelosi ("we have to pass it to see what's in it") helped create the additional 4.5 trillion Obama added.

Sorry to have to put the facts in the way of your awesome retort.

And remember, we are all laughing at you.

Pointing out that a politician is a crook is like pointing out that water is wet. There's a reason that some professions such as politician, lawyer and used car salesman are inextricably linked with a complete lack of morality and honesty, it's what they do and who they are. We were arguing who's the biggest crook, Pelosi or Gingrich. Since i'm partisan, i'll say Pelosi is, Democrats will say Gingrich is. The fact is they both are, but it makes it fun when partisans (like myself) try to argue which one is the biggest crook.

Thank you for wowing me with your vast knowledge....but you failed to post the statistic for the Republicans abuse the Filibuster and if you don't consider that obstruction then well....I guess your going to love it when the Dems return the favor if/when the Republicans gain control of the Senate again.

They passed every bill he wanted?? You must be smoking some good shit man...

Agreed; I had thought maybe you were being sarcastic, sometimes it's pretty hard to tell in here.

Wretched choices, to be sure. That's why I'm a registered independent. But politics is the art of the possible, which is why so many of us here find ourselves more regularly aligning with one of the two major parties than the other.

I'm no huge fan of the Democratic Party overall, but, flawed as they are, there are the principal political obstacle to a Republican Party which has been infested by a clown posse of fundie fanatics and the shallow and cynical pitchman that either owe their entire political careers to them or have hitched their political star to pandering to them.

Ronald Reagan did a ton of lasting damage to our country.

Dub was a frontman for a Cheney led group that did a ton of lasting damage to our country.

The angry and narrowly ideologically based obstructionism of congressional Republicans today are doing a ton of damage to our country.

The fundamental policies of Ron Paul are not a sane or well-considered alterantive to me.

So it is towards the Democratic Party that I lean, as often as not. But, yeah, it's not a really fun place to be.
