(CNN) - Newt Gingrich said Tuesday he wouldn't vote for Ron Paul if the Texas congressman won the 2012 GOP nomination. Speaking to CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Gingrich slammed Paul as out of line with mainstream Republican viewpoints, including his stance on Israel, Iran, and September 11. "I think Ron Paul's views are totally outside the mainstream of virtually every decent American," Gingrich said on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer." Gingrich continued: "He's got to come up with some very straight answers to get somebody to take him seriously. Would I be willing to listen to him? Sure. I think the choice of Ron Paul or Barack Obama would be a very bad choice for America." When asked if he would be able to vote for Paul if his rival won the 2012 GOP nomination, Gingrich said unequivocally "No." "I think it's very difficult to see how you would engage in dealing with Ron Paul as a nominee," Gingrich said. "Given the newsletters, which he has not yet disowned. He would have to go a long way to explain himself and I think it would be very difficult to see today, Ron Paul as the Republican nominee." Paul's role in writing newsletters with racist remarks came under increased scrutiny last week as polls showed the Texas rising in popularity among Iowa voters. The most recent, from the American Research Group, shows Paul, Gingrich and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in a dead heat for first place. Paul has indicated he did not write all of the content in his newsletters and had not read some of it before publication. In responding to negative ads Paul's campaign has released slamming Gingrich's record as a conservative, the former House speaker said the spots were inaccurate. "You look at Ron Paul's record of systemic avoidance of reality, his ads are about as accurate as his newsletter," Gingrich said. Gingrich named Paul's stance on Iran as representative of Paul's extremist viewpoints. "He's not going to get the nomination. It won't happen," Gingrich said. "The people in the United States are not going to accept somebody who thinks it's irrelevant if Iran gets a nuclear weapon." Poster Comment: Gingrich being Gingrich ... the same old SOB, just a different day! My prediction: Gingrich will not be the candidate and soon thereafter be looking for another wife.

The salamander can now be officially flushed, from whence he came. Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson You're right on both counts, Lod. hehehehe
It's quite evident that RP has repeatedly disowned them, most recently on the very network that Grinchrich is being interviewed on here. This reptile must be aware of that. This man is a sneaky, disingenuous dissembler, and the voting public is catching on to him. I wonder if he's as clever as he is billed to be. He's a Virginia resident and hasn't even managed to get on the ballot in his own state. His recent book on George Washington was pitched to frame the author as presidential timber. Our first president wouldn't have given this operator the time of day.
Fair enough, sal. Tens of millions of us will not be voting for your meat-head. Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson Gingrinch is a case where the baby died and the afterbirth lived.
Classic! thanks.
Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson Washington possessed too much GOOD character, unlike the Grinch.
I guess I'm not a decent American then.
And the head of the in Texas said Ron Paul is not a racist. And so what if that asshat, Gingrich, wouldn't vote for him? That would be a plus to any sane person and would probably get Ron even more votes. Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.

Gingrich wouldn't vote for Ron Paul? That's a 2 or 3 point bump for RP. Thanks Newt!!!
It may indeed be "relevant" but how would it be any of our business unless they threatened us with it or actually used one against us? I don't know where politicians in this country, or any country, get the idea that it is up to them what arms other nations may or may not have. It would be like me saying my neighbor may not use anything to defend himself than sticks and rocks against my rifles, pistols and/or shotguns. Liberty is not a means to a higher political end.

With any luck we can get the same pledge from Cheney, Perle, and Madoff, although he won't be able to vote anyway.

The grinch wouldn't know a decent American if we were staring him in the face. Note I said "we" ... because who is that fat piece of crap to identify anything decent?
This afternoon Michael Medved said that Ron Paul would not vote for the GOP nominee and said that this disqualified Ron Paul and made him irrelevant. Looks like Michael Medved has some 'splaining to do now that Newt has thrown his little temper tantrum. Gingrich being Gingrich ... the same old SOB, just a different day! My prediction: Gingrich will not be the candidate and soon thereafter be looking for another wife.

It really isn't, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease. You ever notice that the joos have a perpetual squeak? One of these days Iran WILL have a nuclear bomb, whether we or Israel like it not. I will bet when they do, the kikes will behave with caution and lose their perpetual squeak. Matter of fact, I can see the tears and hear the wailing of "poor victim" already. I don't know where politicians in this country, or any country, get the idea that it is up to them what arms other nations may or may not have.

I don't agree with a lot of what Medved says, so I am not surprised he would say that Paul should be disqualified. It will be interesting to see if he explains why Newt should be treated differently. ... Michael Medved said that Ron Paul would not vote for the GOP nominee and said that this disqualified Ron Paul and made him irrelevant. Looks like Michael Medved has some 'splaining to do now that Newt has thrown his little temper tantrum.
#17. To: X-15 (#14)
Usually RP doesn't come out and give blanket statements like this, which makes me suspicious. And if RP *IS* the GOP nominee, I'm pretty sure Ron would then vote for the nominee. So something is definitely skewed with Medved's claim. This afternoon Michael Medved said that Ron Paul would not vote for the GOP nominee

Yeah, and if we can get the Bush clan to sign that pledge too then Ron should win in a landslide bigger than Reagan. With any luck we can get the same pledge from Cheney, Perle, and Madoff, although he won't be able to vote anyway.

Probably. And as a sovereign nation they have a right to have them. I really DGAS about Iran but if one country has a right to have them why don't all countries have the same right? As a holder of thousands of nuclear weapons I don't see where our government has any right to tell other countries that they have to limit themselves to bows and arrows and slingshots. One of these days Iran WILL have a nuclear bomb

It seems to me that I heard one time that the US is the only country in the world that has ever used nukes in a war. And then the government of the US is supposed to be the arbiter, or as Whore Hey might say, the "decider," in who can have nukes and who can't?

I am not a fan of "disarmament" and believe all individuals and all nations have the right to self defense. While I don't believe anyone should use nukes in a pre-emptive way I don't think one person should assault another and give them any reason to have to fight back. But human nature being what it is there is always the possibility that someone will attack you or some nation will attack another nation. That being said the person or the nation under attack has the right and duty to defense by whatever means necessary.

That is the main point. How is one to defend themselves if those around them have nukes and they don't? Further, how is it that we demand others meet with certain requirements under nuclear policing, yet Israel has refused to do just that and continues to do what it wants. I DO GAS that Israel has nukes and Iran is prevented from having them to defend themselves against the first, and hopefully last, terrorists on this earth. ... I don't see where our government has any right to tell other countries that they have to limit themselves to bows and arrows and slingshots.
#29. To: Phant2000 (#28)
I don't. They have as much right to have them as any other country does. I DO GAS that Israel has nukes

My point being that they are the ones so worried about Iran having nukes, yet they have them. I think it stands to reason that Iran should have them and Israel should shut the hell up. They have as much right to have them as any other country does.

Well I can tell you from living in California that "who can win" is the wrong way to look at it. Obama himself is a prime example. People voted for him because they wanted change but it was a campaign lie. We got a Bush third term. Same will happen with anyone but Ron Paul. A Republican "win" will not change anything. We will get more of the same. Oh yes, this or that will be changed to keep the right/left Republican/Democrat paradigm going. As to any meaningful change there will be none. No ... I don't have a dog in this hunt ... yet! I want someone who will beat buttwheat, but am not convinced of who that could be.

Which is why I agree with Ron Paul on Iran. I can see why they would want them. And remember, Iran is one of the few countries that signed the non proliferation treaty. We also have to remember that Israel has nukes. We keep hearing that if Iran gets one they will immediately launch against Israel based solely on an out of context phrase from Achmed (I'm not even going to try and spell his name). Why would they do that knowing it would also kill their own country? It is all bluff and bluster just like their recent threat to shut down the straights. My point is that any country that wants them should have them. And any country that used one in an unprovoked first strike should be dealt with in a harsh manner.

How well I know that. I am a California Native and am tired of having to live under the structure of leftist SOBs. Doesn't matter whether they be GOP or DEM, they show their true affiliations after they win election. I also learned long ago, there is no such thing as a two party system in this country, therefore, I am independent and the bums can't count me on either side of their slimey clipboard. Unfortunately, the results of many elections in the last several decades have proven to me that the winner of any election is eventually being handled by the same evildoers. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ,,, with that in mind, I look for someone who will be an acceptable compromise (doubtful, but not totally hopeless). If that isn't accomplished, there is always the option of revolt!!! ... I can tell you from living in California that "who can win" is the wrong way to look at it.

I tend to agree with you as to Achmed (I like your I.D. better than the one he uses)! However, he is not the one making the ultimate decisions. I do believe the mullahs, or whatever they call themselves, don't want their population annihilated. Where would they go to fetch more followers? hehehehe
#44. To: farmfriend (#40)
Too many Americans either forget that or don't understand what a globalist is. I saw him on the tube a couple days ago answering someone's question in the audience and he started with, "The American public wants ..." I immediately turned it off. That fool/whackjob has NO clue as to what the American public wants. In fact, some days I wonder if he even knows who/what is an American. He surely isn't. ... Newt is a globalist ...
#45. To: farmfriend (#38)
Points that I have made to more than one person. If Iran were so foolhardy as to launch a nuke toward Israel the next thing they knew they would pretty much all be dead on a sea of molten glass. It is my understanding that Israel has more than enough nukes to defend itself. Which is why I agree with Ron Paul on Iran. I can see why they would want them. And remember, Iran is one of the few countries that signed the non proliferation treaty. We also have to remember that Israel has nukes. We keep hearing that if Iran gets one they will immediately launch against Israel based solely on an out of context phrase from Achmed (I'm not even going to try and spell his name).

Better yet, if everyone from AEI, PNAC, Weekly Standard, National Review, NYT, NBC, CNN, NPR, and I'm sure I left out a few, could all at once just come right out and tell the American people they're not allowed to vote for Ron Paul or they'll get really big frowny face marked on page 1 of their permanent record. Yeah, and if we can get the Bush clan to sign that pledge too then Ron should win in a landslide bigger than Reagan.

A comment on a different site was an Australian RP supporter offering to send election observers to Iowa. Here's reply I prepared but couldn't post without rookbook acct: I for one welcome your offer of observers, and I'm betting they would do a better job of representing Iowans than their own governor has, lately.

My man, that would be a dream come true.
