Gingrich pulls the covers off of MSNBC: classic Newt

September 8, 2011 | Jim Vicevich | | ,

If you listen to the show this morning you already heard this sound bite, but just about everyone I’ve talked to thinks it was the classic by the night by a classic Newt Gingrich. Just to set it up MSNBC asks new to choose between Mitt Romney’s individual mandate on healthcare and Rick Perry’s stance that the individual mandate is unconstitutional. Newt don’t play that game.

Knowing Newt Gingrich, and knowing how much he despises the mainstream media, I guess I really shouldn’t be surprised that he would be the 1st come out and call this MSNBC debate for what it truly is: a way to define and discard all of the Republican candidates by starting a fight. But Newt has the right answer for it all, and make sure you listen all the way to the end. The objective is clear.

    Ooooh…Newt gave me tingles with that response!? Faaaaabulous.?
    He’s now laid the groundwork for a team approach to choose a GOP candidate—referring to the others as “my friends”…this was pure psychological mastery of his environment & the media.? I do believe President Reagan would have been very, very proud.?
    ?
    It’s about time someone goes toe to toe with these smarmy pukes who think they own the entire political process & that they’re going to choose our candidate for us.
