Newt Gingrich
Ron Paul Won Nevada Caucus – And Nevada Voters Lost
Ron Paul speaks in Minnesota, H/T The Daily Beast
While you were busy enjoying your bread and circuses yesterday, operatives from the Nevada GOP–aided and abetted by all four cable “news” networks–were busily manipulating the results of the Nevada Caucuses, handing another undeserved victory to Mittens “It’s My Turn, Peasants” Romneycare.
You probably aren’t aware of this, because the TeeVee told you that Mitt Romney won, nothing to see here, move along now, after a mere 5% of the vote had been counted.
But what the TeeVee didn’t tell you–for about an entire day–is that the Nevada GOP refused to release the results from Clark County, Nevada’s most populous county and the home of 60% of Nevada’s registered voters. In fact, as of this writing, more than 30 hours after the last caucus closed, the Nevada Caucuses are still not decided. (Well, not in the “lawfully and transparently counting the votes to see who got the most” sense. They’ve already been decided in the “we count the votes, and we already decided in advance that Mittens was going to win” sense.)
Here’s some coverage of the “special caucus” that Newt’s billionaire casino magnate backer bought for him. It was the last caucus that took place, and is in Clark County, where 60% of all Nevada voters are located. Later that night, CNN also aired the live counting of the votes at that caucus. In the video below, CNN joins the event at the point where the candidates’ supporters were giving stump speeches. Over two dozen caucus voters spoke on Ron Paul’s behalf, in an audience that was expected to be largely Seventh-Day Adventists and Orthodox Jews. Romney, Gingrich and Santorum only inspired two or three supporters to speak on their behalf, according to one witness who voted at the caucus.
Here are the results, counted and announced live on CNN:
Ron Paul: 183
Mittens Romney: 61
Newt Gingrich: 57
Rick Santorum: 16
It’s remarkable that the total is so high, given the fact that the caucus organizers forced those who wanted to vote to sign a “religious declaration” affidavit before giving them a ballot, likely in violation of the Voting Rights Act.
Even with religious discrimination the results favored Ron Paul, as the Paul campaign expected, based on their internal polling. (At some point in the past two weeks, I read that the Paul campaign had identified over 20,000 definite Ron Paul voters in advance of the caucuses. I’ll post a source if I can find it.)
Ron Paul’s vote totals have more than doubled in every primary or caucus so far over his 2008 totals, and since he has had a massive organization in Nevada for four years, and Nevada is a libertarian state, he was expected to either win or tie for first place. And in the ONE large Clark County caucus where the votes were counted in public, on live television, Ron Paul won by a landslide, as was expected.
Apparently, that was bad news for those in the Cocktail Party GOP in Nevada.
Miraculously, “irregularities” were quickly found that required the party operatives to sequester themselves in a smoke-filled room and “recount” the votes from Clark County (until they get the totals they had decided upon in advance?)
At 3:10 a.m. Monday, nearly 10% of the votes have still not been reported. At this point, Ron Paul is listed in third place with only 5,901 votes–fewer votes than he received in 2008, when he placed second to Mitt Romney in the Nevada caucuses.
And just as miraculously, the chairwoman of the GOP in Nevada resigned effective 12:01 Sunday morning, in a move she claimed was pre-planned and had nothing whatsoever to do with the voter fraud the Nevada GOP was apparently undertaking.
Here’s a shorter version of events of the caucus voting and counting.
Move along, peasants. Nothing to see here. Turn up the surround sound and pass the hot wings.
Saturday Night Live Cold Open: Newt Gingrich as Moon President
[Click above to embiggen: Saturday Night Live depicted Newt Gingrich as President of the Moon and Willard "Mittens" Romney as a disgraced cross-dresser in the cold open to the February 4th, 2012 episode ]
Saturday Night Live cold-opened its February 4th, 2012 show with a sketch predicting Barack Obama’s easy win over Cocktail Party GOP establishment “it’s his turn to be the nominee!” favorite Willard “Mittens” Romney and a future where, in the middle of the second term the Cocktail Party handed Obama, Democrats’ socialist push collapses America as we know it and literally destroys our planet.
In the sketch, Newt Gingrich continued pushing for a permanent lunar base after Romney’s coronation in the GOP primaries; just two years later this is not only built, but colonized with the 13,000 residents that would enable the base to petition for statehood (far-fetched, yest, but remember this was the stuff that kids grew up dreaming was possible up until sometime in the late 1980s when the Tolerant Left took full control of our schools and stopped inspiring children to dream of a bold and history-making future for our country).
The writers decidedly lampooned Gingrich because it’s clear that Saturday Night Live wants Romney to be the Republican nominee – so their prediction of Obama’s re-election comes true.
Many of you, no doubt, are saying, “Well, I don’t care about Saturday Night Live” or “That show hasn’t been funny for years” and these things are most definitely true — but you are foolish to pretend that millions of Americans don’t watch this show or at least hear about it on Monday morning from the twenty-somethings that occupy space in your office’s cubicle farms and parrot everything they see on TV that they believe ridicules conservatives.
Saturday Night Live’s goal was to mock Gingrich so that the nomination could be locked up for Romney — which is part of the larger plan to ensure Barack Obama gets to select the Republican he most wants to run against.
Herman Cain’s in the skit as part of Gingrich’s “Ad-moon-istration”, with the sole purpose of making crass sexual jokes (because the Tolerant Left wants to discourage black men from being conservative and identifying as Republican, so it’s pushing this meme of Cain being unable to control himself sexually to inhibit other blacks from wanting to be conservative like him).
Ronald Reagan’s consciousness has been programmed into a robot that now advises Gingrich on the moon — and a joke you’ll see coming light years away involves the robot mistaking Romney for an android too.
Romney, by the way, has become a cross-dresser in the future and traveled to the moon disguised as a woman, still disgraced by losing the 2012 general election in a race Republicans should have won — if only they hadn’t nominating the “it’s his turn to be nominee!” guy in the same pattern that delivered Bob Dole and John McCain to voters (who then rejected them because they were not the smart choice to run against the Democrat in the years the Cocktail Party chose to run these guys).
Saturday Night Live, as always, went light on Romney; the robot joke and the cross-dressing were as bad as it got for him last night. During the general election, if Romney’s the nominee, you can count on the actor playing him to appear exclusively in “magic underwear” (what the Tolerant Left will call Mormons’ sacred garment) and be portrayed as a cross between Gordon Gecko and the polygamist from Big Love. There will also be lots of “Mutt Romney” stuff too — that’s the bit that’s being saved to attack Romney for strapping his dog to the top of his car on a family trip, which caused the dog to rain diarrhea down the back windows. Saturday Night Live will probably create a new puppet character for “Mutt Romney” similar to Tounces, the Driving Cat because that one anecdote from Romney’s past is just such fertile ground for the Tolerant Left to use in alienating Romney from voters in a general election.
What I’m most struck by after watching this skit, however, is how obvious it is to me that the only way Barack Obama is re-elected is if Willard “Mittens” Romney is the nominee. Everyone seems to know this, except the Cocktail Party GOP establishment (which commits itself years in advance to running whichever candidate has the “next turn”, regardless of what voters want that year) and people who, for whatever reason, like Romney for personal reasons.
I agree the guy is handsome and is probably a very nice person — and he could have won in 2008 — but 2012 is not the year to run someone who can so easily be caricatured as a Wall Street villain with weird, off-putting personality traits in a year when voters are being ginned up against this exact caricature by Occupy Wall Street and Obama’s own off-putting and alien nature is at issue.
When Earth exploded in this Saturday Night Live sketch, I thought about the Superman comics and how, months before the planet Krypton was destroyed, Jor-El (father of the baby Kal-El who would be rocketed to Kansas and grow up to become Superman) desperately tried to convince the idiots in the Kryptonian establishment that everyone was doomed unless someone took action to prevent a clearly telegraphed catastrophe.
The Cocktail Party on Krypton probably didn’t think it was Jor-El’s turn, yet, to be listened to and so they most likely took the advice of the guy who lost to the guy who got the planet into its mess in the first place.
As depressing as this feels, it’s precisely what those in the Cocktail Party GOP establishment are doing in pushing Romney to the nomination in 2012 in much the same way these very people pushed Dole and McCain to their primary wins — in the years they went on to lose (as predicted) to Democrats in the general election.
I know the takeaway Saturday Night Live wanted people to have from this episode was that Gingrich is too big of a dreamer and his push for a moon base is absurd…but instead I see the planet’s explosion in the sketch as a clarion call of Kryptonian proportions that perhaps you can help answer.
How can you convince others to see the elite, agenda-driven media (in the form of shows like SNL) is doing everything it can to push Romney towards the nomination because these people believe Barack Obama has the best chance to beat him in the general election?
Devastating Video: “I’m George Soros and I Approve This Candidate”
This is the most devastating political ad I’ve seen in years.
I am honestly starting to believe that the Republicans who are pushing Willard “Mittens” Romney towards the nomination really don’t want to win the presidency in 2012.
Maybe they’re afraid of race riots if “the historic and unprecedented first black president” is defeated in his re-election bid — so they figure, heck, just let him have a second term so Chicago and LA don’t burn to the ground.
Maybe the Cocktail Party GOP establishment pushing Romney knows we’re already in a Second Great Depression and they want a Democrat in the White House when Europe collapses next year and there’s no longer any obfuscated how bad things really and truly are.
Maybe it’s all part of an elaborate Mad Magazine-style Spy vs. Spy plot to give The Tolerant Left eight years of Barack Obama so that the Democrat Party obliterates itself by affording it free rein to do as many terrible things to the country as it can think of — so that no one alive ever votes for another Democrat again (and even the dead people who vote Democrat in every election finally halt that zombie garbage).
Because if the Cocktail Party GOP establishment really and truly wants to run a nominee that is approved by supervillain GEORGE SOROS then Republicans just don’t want to win the 2012 election and we need to start figuring out WHY.
Byron York’s Breakdown of What Really Happened in Gingrich Ethics Case
[ Click to embiggen: after the show ended in the 80s, the guy who played Cooter on Dukes of Hazard decided to stalk Newt Gingrich for most of the 90s and file bogus ethics complaints against him similar to what happened to Sarah Palin in Alaska when Democrats targeted her for harassment ]
This is an absolute MUST READ.
Here’s the short explanation of what really happened:
* the guy who played Cooter on Dukes of Hazard became obsessed with Newt Gingrich and started stalking him
* Cooter teamed up with Democrats to file bogus ethics charges against Newt — in much the same way Democrats in Alaska did this to Sarah Palin in 2008
* Standard operating procedure for Democrats = when they are obsessed with a Republican, they file nuisance ethics complaints against the person so that no business can be done while the bogus ethics complaints are investigated
* Cooter and Democrats accused Newt of using a college course he taught in political science as some sort of scheme to brainwash the students into becoming his personal army or cult
* Cooter and Democrats kept making up these lies, despite the students who took the college course insisting that Newt was a good professor who taught a well-liked political science course
* to make the Democrats stop so that he could get back to business in Congress, Newt made the decision to pay a fine and admit he was wrong when he wasn’t…much like Palin resigning as Governor so that the business of Alaskans could be taken care of without her being a focal point of Democrat attacks any longer
* The FBI declined to investigate Newt for anything because he did nothing wrong and was not trying to raise his own army or cult.
* Cooter and the Democrats harangued the IRS to investigate him and it did — and in 1999 it produced a 74 page document concluding that Newt did nothing wrong and that Cooter and the Democrats made up lies for The Tolerant Left’s political gain.
* The elite, agenda-driven media never bothered to report on Newt’s full exoneration.
* Willard “Mittens” Romney is bearing false witness against Newt because he knows the truth of what’s happening but is repeating Democrats’ talking points against Newt. If you are a Mormon, please chime in below in comments about what the Church of Latter Day Saints teaches about knowingly spreading false information about a person in order to gain some specific benefit for yourself. I’m curious how Romney’s behavior on this issue jives with what he learned in the LDS church.
If you followed what Democrats in Alaska did to Governor Palin from 2008 through her resignation in 2009 (which made the ethics complaints stop), you should understand perfectly why Newt did what he did so that he could get back to the business he was elected to do for the American people.
After reading York’s breakdown, I am more disgusted with Romney than I have ever been before.
He seriously should be ashamed of himself for siding with Cooter from Dukes of Hazard, Nancy Pelosi, and the same sort of Democrats who filed all those bogus ethics charges against Governor Palin.
What’s your take?
Newt Gingrich and the Chicago Honey Baked Ham Store
Here’s one of those little anecdotal things that makes me think — and I hope prompts you to share similar tales in comments below.
My boyfriend Justin came home last night from spending the last month with his family in Arkansas — to celebrate Christmas with them, but also to be there to help his sister since she had an at-risk pregnancy and delivered a newborn who had severe birth complications that kept her in the hospital for nearly four weeks. One of the things Justin and I do that’s really special for us is to drive down to a Honey Baked Ham store and get ourselves a quarter or half ham, so we can enjoy its sugarly, glazed goodness throughout the week. To keep this special, we only do it three, maybe four times a year.
This morning Justin asked if we could get a ham because Newt Gingrich won the South Carolina primary and the Cocktail Party GOP establishment had been punched in the face. Serendipitously, my friend Althea called me very excited about the recent polls for Gingrich and asked if she could come over tonight and watch the debate with us as I transcribed it — so she’s heading over in a few minutes with her two kids and her play aunties Miss Josie and Miss Hazel — which made Justin and I opt for a half ham since we’re suddenly going to have an apartment full of people watching Newt Gingrich debate (and hopefully knock the living tar out of Willard Mittens Romneycare).
“Ain’t nobody, nowhere, buying a ham and having folks over to watch Mittens do nothing”, Althea said before I hung up with her to get Justin ready to go to the store. Normally, I have to tell Justin three or four times it’s time to get his coat on, turn off the video games and find his keys, but he was sitting on the couch with his shoes and coat on all ready to get the ham.
“I’m excited,” he said, “even my parents think Romney’s going to lose now, and they believe all the lies the TV says usually”. That’s true, because Justin’s parents are very nice people who constantly respond to things the way the Cocktail Party GOP establishment instruct them to — and they believe everything they hear on television.
Folks, something very special happened on Saturday that I can only relate in my generation to the rebels blowing up that first Death Star…the Cocktail Party’s imperial hold on a great many people has been obliterated. As unlikely as he might at first seem, Newt Gingrich is a kind of pudgy Han Solo to a great many of us. There is now a real excitement to his campaign.
When we got to the Honey Baked store, I picked out a ham with the cashier while Justin looked at pies and side dishes. The woman asked me if this was a special occasion and Justin excitedly piped in with, “Newt Gingrich won the South Carolina primary and now he’s leading in Florida and people are coming over to watch the debate and even my parents say that Romney’s not going to be the nominee now and Kevin calls him a soggy cucumber and mayonnaise sandwich that nobody wants so we’re getting a honey ham for Newt Gingrich and I am excited”.
The woman looked at him, then looked around her to make sure her coworker was not listening, and said, “I hope Newt gets it and I hope he clobbers that no good Obama”. And then she magically found a mess of coupons for us that took a big discount off our order.
It’s really rare for Justin to talk politics with anyone out and about in Chicago because he’s afraid of Lefties harassing him for it, but he’s so revved up about Newt that he can’t stop himself. Today, Justin made his first phone banking calls for Newt into Florida and is excited to do that again tomorrow too. Tonight, Justin’s transformed our apartment into a makeshift Newt Debate Watch Center and will play host to Althea and her family while I transcribe the debate for readers here at HB.
The biggest thing Willard “Mittens” Romneycare had going for him was the Cocktail Party GOP establishment’s Death Star — the false narrative that Mittens was “inevitable” and “unstoppable” and the “it’s his turn!” “nominee in all but name only”.
That’s gone now.
People on the ground know it.
It’s a development worthy of a honey-baked celebration that’s normally reserved for only the most special of occasions.
Willard “Mittens” Romneycare and the Cocktail Party GOP establishment are in deep, deep, trouble.
Oh My! Newt’s South Carolina Miracle?
I’ve been sitting back quietly watching the campaign trail. After the crumble of Herman Cain’s campaign…I’ve been a little shy about thumping my chest for the man that I think can save this country…Newt Gingrich. I haven’t put up ”Go Newt Go!” posts every day. I wanted to take a wait and see approach. I’m starting to feel a little different as of this morning. It’s beginning to look like Mitt Romney’s carefully built house of cards is starting to sway in the warm South Carolina coastal breeze and Newt has his sail tilted in just the right direction to catch the lift. It’s amazing really… considering seven months ago his entire campaign staff walked out on him (I bet they’re regretting that move). He’s survived several media attacks and polling slumps. Now that he’s back on track with his positive message about what he can do to save this country…the sky’s the limit.
I’m beginning to be cautiously optimistic.
And….it appears that the little interview with his whining ex-wife Marianne seems to have helped him instead of hurt him….that tickles me pink!
Newt is a survivor….he’s one tough son of a gun.
I guess that’s why Chuck Norris is endorsing Newt.
I wouldn’t argue with Chuck.
VOTE NEWT: Parody of Cee Lo Green’s Song “Forget You” (or “F*** You” if we’re talking to Mitt Romney)
Warning: around the 3:07 mark you will see Newt Gingrich in a way that can never, ever be unseen.
It’s an excellent, excellent parody though. The Gingrich campaign should embrace it whole-heartedly and play it at events.
