Uploaded by FoxNewsInsider on May 16, 2011 On tonight's Special Report, political contributor Charles Krauthammer gave his take on presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich's future as a candidate. This follows contradictory statements made by Gingrich on the individual health care mandate, as well as a vocal lack of support for Republican Paul Ryan's (R-WI) alternative plan. Krauthammer told Bret Baier that Gingrich "didn't have a big chance from the beginning, but now it's over." Krauthammer cites "Reagan's Eleventh Commandment". Poster Comment: More recent reporting by Jon Stewart on Newt Gingrich and Reagan's Eleventh Commandment: Article 1 with video; go to the 7:29 mark. Media news derivatives: Jan. 24: Good riff at the end of the clip, when Stewart runs video of Gingrich talking about his fealty to Ronald Reagan’s “11th Commandment,” which outlaws attacking a fellow Republican. Stewart jokes, “I guess once Gingrich started breaking the actual commandments, the party just thought, ‘No sense keeping the made-up ones either.” That Reagan Commandment commentary can also be viewed at this Article 2 site; same timemark of 7:29. The Johnsville News: The Gingrich Who Stole South Carolina Jon Stewart of The Daily Show mocks the moral hijinks of Newt "The Gingrich Who Stole South Carolina."

Newt Gingrich never was. He is being propped up to justify stealing votes from Ron Paul and to diminish Ron Paul to the point that he does not get high billing in the controlled media. He has served his purpose and is now being disposed of.
Gingrich is very heavily financed by just one Zillionaire. If he collected money from mere Billionaires he could probably keep campaigning into 2116. So I seriously doubt that he will fade from the campaign. He seems determined to make it impossible for Romney to win the Election even if he wins the Nomination. I have no idea why Gingrich is so begrudging but he's been out of political office for nearly a dozen years and maybe being a taken seriously as a potential President or at least a king-maker will juice up his lobbying business.
GinGRINCH could not beat Pee Wee Herman in the General (s)Election without heavy vote fraud. However, his continuation works into someone's agenda, and I am sure he is being well paid.
If there is an agenda, it is to keep Romney from being elected. Romney might yet win the nomination, but with this demolition derby of debates and primaries, he'll hardly be able to stand up to Obama in the General Election. While Dems might benefit from this, I suspect that at least a major portion of this is a Republican faction that is (1) fanatically anti-moderate and/or (2) anti-Mormon, to the point that they'd rather have Obama re-elected than allow a moderate Mormon to be elected. Gingrich, for his part, gets a slush fund for his campaign lifestyle, and some boost to his shabby reputation, and maybe a boost to his lobbying/hustling career.
nobody knows what's gonna happen in the next five years... but whatever happens, it's not likely to be good. oil production could start falling, or israel could attack iran, or israel could attack america and blame iran... plus there's a whole flotilla of black swans cued up out there, black swans that nobody's thinking about. . so, given the certainty that everything's gonna get worse for a long time before it gets better, and the UNcertainty of how it's gonna play out, who should take the fall? who are most inclined towards fascism? ...republicans. do republicans want to be saddled with the blame of establishing overt fascism in america? ...no. does it really make any difference whether we're being run by republicans or democrats, other than to careerist politicians? ...no. so the republicans, as you've noted repeatedly, are committing suicide in this election because they dont know if the pretense of american democracy will last another five years, and they dont want to be blamed for the imposition of martial law, or worse, in america. they'd rather be in position to blame obama. meanwhile, the jews are desperately trying to figure out how, in the face of zionist lunacy, to salvage the situation. too bad there's no way out... we've painted ourselves into PNAC's corner, and it's all over but the shouting.
they'd rather be in position to blame obama. Nonsense. The two parties are controlled at the very top by the same coterie of psychotic defectives. The only consideration is which "Brand" serves the agenda best at the current moment. Between you and Shoo it is "Heads I win, tails you lose".
"does it really make any difference whether we're being run by republicans or democrats, other than to careerist politicians? ...no." hate to repeat myself
And it makes no difference at all to the people who make the decisions.
good... i'm glad i finally made myself clear enough for you to understand.

so the children are disarmed, more-or-less, and left in the sandbox to whack each other with their little plastic shovels and buckets until they decide between themselves who gets to serve as the figurehead. that's democracy
