Newt Victory Speech – No More Bowing to Saudi King (Video)

Newt Gingrich slammed Obama tonight in South Carolina after his huge victory in the GOP Primary,

“I want America to become so energy independent that no American president ever again bows to the Saudi king.”

Newt went on to bash the Obama Administration over the Keystone Decision.

“An American president who can create a Chinese-Canadian partnership is truly a danger to this country.”

More… Here’s a terrific comment from SKinner on tonight’s results:

This is a great outcome for all Republicans. I am a Romney supporter but I LOVE this result.

Newt staying in the game benefits all of us wanting the best candidate in place to beat Obama.

It keeps Romney on his toes to sharpen his message and be bolder in future debates with Newt.

It keeps Newts in the game to do the same, and to keep hammering the media and slapping them about and drilling Obama non stop verbally.

It also gives the other States real opportunity to help select the nominee, making sure the candidates continue to spread their message and sharpen the focus on Obama.

It also forces the media and the Obama campaign to split their efforts and their focus on to two or more candidates for longer than expected.

Well done Newt!

I shall vote for the last man standing that competes with Obama.

This is GOOD news, a good outcome that bodes well for selecting the best nominee whom by then shall be well tested and ready to face Obama.

Thank you South Carolina!

And thanks to Dana Loesch for sending this pic from CNN’s broadcast tonight:

This was covered by Gateway Pundit a day or two ago.

Also, if you post an off-topic comment, it is considered good form to preface your comment with “OT”.

And if you post the same off-topic comment in every single thread, it is considered bad form no matter what you preface it with — especially if WE ALL KNOW ALREADY, since it was covered by GP already.

And no, Obama won’t show. And no, nobody will do anything about it. He’s already been held in contempt over the shutdown of drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Nothing was done about it, and Obama is laughing now as hard as he was laughing then. It is a non-story, besides which, it was already covered here.

And, Mitt brings to mind a nervous, hungry, luxury car salesman. I’m a conservative…..and I’m not going to let the Republican establishment tell me who to vote for……and I certainly have no intention of listening to Obama’s main stream media. I’m an American……and Newt speaks for me! I’ve made my choice!

From the “At 7:00 PM” thread update:

Instapundit: http://pjmedia.com/instapundit/135753/

MORE STILL: A female reader writes that Gingrich may not have been so hurt by ex-wife Marianne’s TV interview:
Hate to say this and don’t use my name, but I watched the interview and thought

“You bitch, he cheated on his first wife with you. What the heck did you expect?”

That may explain it.

STILL MORE: Another female reader writes: “Check the dates. Marianne, the supposed women scorned, married Newt when his star was rising (1981-his second term in Congress) and divorced him at his political nadir in 2000. If Callista is the real golddigger she’s also the one who stood by her man in his politically lean decade.”
–snip–

Yet another good point, of many I’ve seen regarding this matter, such as:

Why does Marianne still use his name?

Why did the kids side with Newt?

Why did ABC not report that Marianne said WAY BACK in ’95 that she would undermine any attempt by Newt, “The very next day”, were he to decide to run for president?

Why did ABC not report that Marianne cheated on Newt WITH A UNION BOSS?

Married women see right through this woman.

Andrew Breitbart can claim a substantial part in this awakening, as well. Since way back when he and Matt Drudge FORCED the MFM to cover MonicaGate, and culminating lately with his and his peeps’ many stings on ACORN, Planned Parenthood, teachers unions, and more, he has been showing the media how REAL REPORTING IS DONE.

Too bad CNN will never stop worshipping Obama.

Nope its the same thing. A desparate full court press to prevent energy use. Try to build a pipeline, try to build a windfarm, try to build transmissions to a solar farm, try to build a nuclear plant and liberals will handcufff themselves to the equipment.

Happens every time. Common denominator is no energy for me. And to get to the point AGW, birds chopped up on the windmills, turtles in the desert frightened of power lines – whatever it takes to stop enerdy production and manufacturing. and yeah kill jobs for undesireable rednecks.

I assume you meant “AGAINST” ABO, and like I said in another thread:

There are people on these comment sections who are, in a coordinated fashion, using their psychology degrees, pretending to be conservatives, who will ALWAYS tear down the frontrunner. No matter who it is. This is a great game of deception, and it will take some serious discernment to make a decision. Especially when we have many commenters, no IP hashtag (TAKE NOTE, JIM, PLEASE — THIS CANNOT HAPPEN AT ACE OF SPADES HQ), who are die-hard commie libs, and are doing this just to influence our primaries.

They need someone who will take a dive, and they will tear down anyone who won’t.

I think RP and Romney would BOTH pull a McCain and do every single thing they could to get Obama re-elected.

For RP, this goal is a cakewalk, because of his Newsletter, and the fact that he himself said in a ’95 interview that “If you want to know more about me and my positions and views and thoughts: READ MY NEWSLETTER!” He is toast in this nation.

Romney will also never say one damn negative thing about Obama.

Newt will tear Obama a new Obama. If you get my drift.

@tommy mc donnell: we do not NEED an alternative fuel. The world is only dependant on Saudi oil because much of it comes from there currently. The U.S. is only dependent on Saudi oil at this point because Obama has rejected getting it from the U.S., or now from Canada… Obama has done more to foster dependance on Saudi Oil than any sheik or oil baron, and also killed the alternative energy sector by pumping money into it before it was really ready to shine, killing of companies with large infusions of money which then led nowhere.

Don’t like being dependent on Saudi oil? Then repeat the question why was Keystone canceled.

Wait what?

Do you know what I’m talkin’ ’bout, Willis?

Go here:

Tonight’s thread at Ace: http://minx.cc/?post=325902

Each comment has a little string of characters in parentheses.

That is an IP hashtag. It lets the other commenters and the blog-owner know that, say “Taqiyyotomist” is really “Taqiyyotomist”, and not an impostor. That’s all it does.

The blog owner already knows all our IP addys, unless we use proxies.

How does putting (ltfED) after my nic censor anything at all? (That’s my hashtag over at Ace, and it always has been since I’ve been posting there…the tag is based on IP info on my PC)

It’s nothing sinister, and it cuts down on the sinister.

Like the little lighthouse pic I use. If anyone comments as “Taqiyyotomist” without that exact pic, I either messed up with typing my email addy, or someone is pretending to be me. Also, if I decide to post as “Barack Hussein Obama” just to be funny — that pic will still be next to my name.

If you look at the AoSHQ Wikipedia page, you’ll note that the site is known for posters adopting whatever nic they want at the moment — on purpose, for the purpose of comedy. And everyone there knows it — they even have a regular tally of who (WHICH INDIVIDUAL HASHTAG, WHICH IS UNCHANGABLE) used the most sockpuppets.

In other words, if our resident trolls happen to be just three of them, using fifteen different nics, WE WOULD KNOW. Right now we don’t. (Jim does, or could, if he chose to look at the logs, but does not deign to tell us if this is the case.)

What I find remarkable was Brit Hume’s comments tonight. He revealed that Fox News is a den of RINOs. Is there anyone on their news staff who isn’t a secret Romney admirer? Is there one there that doesn’t sacrifice to the altar of Bush-McCain.

After Krautheimer’s constant BS I really didn’t expect this from Hume.

If Romney doesn’t win, and by 3-4% he’s the one that is finished. Tonight he showed that he lost by about 31% (the combined Newt-Santorum vote.)

In an open primary too. It was fun to watch my bneighbor, a rabid dhimmie’s head explode at the scope of the landslide. She knew the Dear Leader would look foolish debating Newt.

My other gripe is the constant refrain that Romney has done well in the debates. By what measure? I guess they use the McCain scale or the Gore scale, but where I come from Romney sounds like a very bright version of Ron Paul or a utter failure.

Steve White commented:

I’m not a Newt fan, but I am reminded of what Lincoln said about US Grant: “I cannot spare this man. He fights.”

I wish Mittens would figure this out. Newt, Cain and Bachman all rose in the polls, when they rose, in part because they took it to Obama. There are a lot of Americans who will respond to that, who agree that Obama has been terrible and who will vote for the candidate who pounds that message home.

A president has to be more than that, of course, but it is absolutely right and proper to hammer away at Obama. Mitt tries it from time to time but it always sounds so…genteel.

Take off the Mittens, Mitt, and go after the man. THEN lay out your ideas for fixing the big problems Obama has created. FIGHT. That’s how you’ll convince the rest of us that you’re the man for the job.

Newt is unelectable because it’s mathematically impossible for him to gain enough delegates. Too many states where he’s not on the ballot. If he can’t run a campaign, how can he run a country?

Research exactly how Obama won the Illinois State Senate seat.

He got everyone kicked off the ballot, and RAN UNOPPOSED.

Again, folks: we are living in Soviet America.

Google [soros secretary of state project]. F**k it, I’ll do it for you:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/jun/23/section-527-works-to-seat-liberals-as-election-ove/?page=all

A small tax-exempt political group with ties to wealthy liberals like billionaire financier George Soros has quietly helped elect 11 reform-minded progressive Democrats as secretaries of state to oversee the election process in battleground states and keep Republican “political operatives from deciding who can vote and how those votes are counted.”

Known as the Secretary of State Project (SOSP), the organization was formed by liberal activists in 2006 to put Democrats in charge of state election offices, where key decisions often are made in close races on which ballots are counted and which are not.

The plans of radical philanthropist George Soros and his billionaire allies to make it easier for state officials to affect the outcomes of elections through chicanery were dealt a temporary setback last week.

That’s because five out of seven candidates backed by the Soros-supported “Secretary of State (SoS) Project” went down in flames November 2. Of the SoS candidates endorsed by the “527” political committee, only incumbents Mark Ritchie of Minnesota and Debra Bowen of California failed to drown in the GOP tidal wave. Using 527 groups, which may accept unlimited contributions, is a Soros trademark. Soros gave close to $24 million to 527 groups in 2004 in a failed attempt to defeat President Bush.

Even with last week’s results, the SoS Project still takes credit for electing “11 of 18 election reform candidates in key states like Minnesota” since it began funding candidates in 2006. “Winning in these states has made a difference already, and now we’re gearing up for more wins in 2012,” the group’s website declares.

The reason Soros and his allies want to influence the elections for a state office few people understand or care about is because in most states the secretary of state is the chief elections officer. Political observers know that a relatively small amount of money can help swing a little-watched contest. As Joseph Stalin is said to have once remarked, “The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.” The lesson has not been lost on Soros.

Just do some damn easy-as-hell google research, people. Good GOD. I’m a blue-collar hick. And even I can do it.

If Obama doesn’t win, it’ll be a miracle, NO MATTER WHO OUR NOMINEE IS.

A term was coined in the last election, namely the “Margin of Fraud”, which is to say, the percentage of the vote by which the non-Democrat candidate must win in order to overcome the number of fraudulent votes cast by the Democrat party faithful.

The Margin of fraud was lower, as they were just getting this new “machine” into gear — Beta-testing, as it were — during the attempted stealing of the elections of 2000 and 2004.

The margin of fraud in the 2008 election was even higher. Practice makes perfect, as they say. Obama “won” for many very illegal reasons, even discounting his stolen SSN and dubious citizenship. There was ACORN with its endemic and systemic and intentional vote-fraud — an organization which our Dear Leader actually worked for. There were West Bank and Gaza (which is to say, Illegal Foreign) donations to a completely-unsecure Obama Campaign website. There were also (Illegal Foreign) phone banks set up in the Fakestinian territories, manned with employees of the Democrat Party.

The margin of fraud this time will be thus:

If we don’t win by at least 80:20, then the Commmunist Party which calls itself Democrat wins.

That’s how much they have this process locked.

TRENDS ARE TRENDS. The Margin of Fraud is an ascending 60+ degree angle from the election of 2000 (which Bush supposedly “stole”, but which we all know Gore and the Commies attempted to steal unsuccessfully.)

They get better at the fraud every four years. Now they’re on our blogs, pretending to be conservatives, and using psychology to affect our opinions of candidates.

PRAY FOR DISCERNMENT, FOLKS. MUCH DECEPTION IS UPON US. LIKE NEVER BEFORE.

all-caps intentional — no apologies.

Taqiyyotomist commented:

And my point I forgot to make:

Now it’s not just overcoming the fraudulent votes CAST.

It’s overcoming the number of non-Democrat votes tossed out, such as overseas Military votes, and Dem votes found by the hundreds in the trunks of cars, and the non-democrat ballots “lost” to be found later stuffed in the innerds of file-cabinets, and WHATEVER THE HELL THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO DO in order to gain votes.

They have learned well from Stalin. It’s not who votes that counts.

It’s who counts the votes. And the Soviets who call themselves Democrats?

They count the votes. And throw away the incorrect votes.

20/80 for a Margin of Fraud may be too generous at this point.

All the talk which I’ve read and heard that Newt Gingrich isn’t electable, that we need a watered down version of a Conservative doesn’t work. Look who we’ve elected in my recent memory: Bob freaking Dole (worked great, huh?), John=career politician McCain, (seriously like the guy, but he needs to go away somewhere)…these guys couldn’t beat Clinton or Obama. At least if we’re gonna lose, lets vote for a fighter just for once, please?

Global warming was stupid science created to sell Carbon Capture Credits on a Chicago trading board. They used any tactic possible to try and make it happen. That’s because all the usual slimey players, including the Clintons, Gore, Obama, General Electric, etc., have said carbon capture credits to sell. That board was quietly closed when Cap and Trade failed.

Life long Democrat here burned by the party,the MSM and the Obots in 2008 after the way they treated Hillary.They kept saying she had to win all of these states and after winning every one of them they said it didn’t count.She won the most votes of any candidate that has ever run for President and they took them away from her to give to Obama to make sure he would have enough to win.I voted Republican for the first time ever that year because I could see the horror that Obama was.They are trying to do the same to Newt.When I heard all the pundits saying it doesn’t matter if he wins SC.I knew the game plan.It is just like 2008 and Hillary Clinton.Don’t let them choose your candidate for you.Keep fighting back to elect the only candidate with the kahunas to stand up to the Obama Administration,the RNC, and the MSM.I will be voting for the candidate who ever that may be to get the Muslim Usurper Socialist out of office.But I sure hope it’s Newt.

1) Thanks to the media, am NOW totally convinced Gingrich totally messed up marrying Marianne whose middle name must be T-R-O-U-B-L-E and definitely would have been a disaster on any campaign, and havoc within the family relations. So, Gingrich was right to divorce her.

2) Would like to know more details of Ron Paul’s rumored affairs with Leftist sugar daddy George Soros. How does a guy who’s never achieved more than Rep, after all these decades self-delude he’s POTUS material.. and why does Ron Paul keep showing up wasting our time when he never wins anything … is this the THIRD election now?

Morality and marital fidelity are very important issues to me, indicative of a man’s basic character. If his own wife can’t trust him, how can the rest of us trust him?

That said, this issue is not likely to hurt Newt in November (if he makes it that far), at least within the ranks of the so-called “independent” (clueless) voters who decide elections. Those rudderless middle-dwellers saw no problem electing a world-class philanderer like Kennedy, or the even more crass Johnson, or the shameless Clinton, so why would they have a problem with Gingrich?

I didn’t have time to read all comments so of this redundant, my apologies. I wish Newt would have brought up the recent development wit Brazil. After granting Brazil $2B for off-shore oil development Brazil has signed an agreement with China to sell them the oil. I wonder what would be left of China’s financial power if American companies would bring back home all their manufacturing. To do that regulations have to be eased, taxes have to be severely cut if not eliminated, most importantly unions and their job killing practices have to be mustered! Look at the cost of living in cities like Chicago that love unions. Bottom line is if everyone in an area were to say make a minimum of a million dollars a year housing and other costs will rise to meet that level. Watch HGTV House Hunters a lot. As soon as I hear the size and price of a house I can tell you where they are filming. Texas houses are some of the lowest cost houses in the country. If the exact house costs $500K in CA and $150K in TX it doesn’t make the CA $350K any less of a house! Of course if you’re in CA instead of TX everything else and especially taxes are a lot lower.
#92 January 22, 2012 at 8:48 am
Tom63010 commented:

I meant the CA house that is priced at $500K that is exactly the same as the $150K in TX is not worth $350K more. This is also why Albert Pujols will make less in LA than he would have if he took less from the Cardinals.
