Newt Gingrich Campaign Suspension Announcement May 2, 2012

Sheik?
Sheik???
OMG! The Ay-rabs have invaded Free Republic! Get Ray Stevens on the phone, STAT!
Newt Gingrich announced the suspension of his campaign for the 2012 Republican presidential nominee.
*****************************************************
He did not endorse Romney. Shep said we all must be bored with what he said and Ed Rollins said he self imploded and is a sore loser. Fox is livid. Newt got a lot in about what should be done
Fortunately, people turned him off after about 5 minutes.
in every realm and how the presidency is a small part of where we can focus to make a difference.He went into a lot of detail.
No shit.
To: sheikdetailfeather
Newt’s campaign isdeep in debtin deep shit.
FIFY.
I believe he is suspending, not ending, his campaign for the same reason that Rick Santorum did: A suspended campaign can still raise money. They can still leverage their delegates at the convention to get favorable language to conservatives in the platform and/or ensure a conservative, not a RINO, is put in the Veep slot.

Yep. I hear you. Since this election, I have heard so many things on Fox against Newt. Shameful. Beck today said he does not know why Newt is announcing he will announce a suspension. “We all get it and his donors got it long ago. Nobody notices,” he said. “We all know you are not going to be president.” I wonder what it is in Beck that wants to kick someone when they are on the ground and keep kicking them when he keeps talking up love so much?

I posted this on another thread about this:
I saw/heard the speech and it was grand. I could not believe what Shep and Rollins said about Newt afterward. It was horrible and disgusting, protraying Newt as a crazy man who never should have run. Shep said he doubted anyone kept listening to the end of the speech.
I will never listen to Shep’s news programs again.
I’ve stopped watching Fox lately and watching movies instead but I knew Newt was going to speak today so had Fox on. I doubt CNN was as horrible as Fox reporting the speech. Newscasters are supposed to report news, not call people crazy.
I am thoroughly disgusted and angry at Fox. That’s it for me and Fox.
Now, I’m watching “Night of the Living Dead”, a zombie movie. It will be nicer than what Shep said.
At least zombies don’t talk.

He’s not only gonna endorse Romney, he’s going to ‘sell’ his endorsement for the price of Romney helping him retire his campaign debt.
At least Santorum’s price for endorsing Romney is getting Romney to agree to some of Santorum’s pet projects.
The beloved, or should I sayformerly beloved Mr. Herman Cain made a very fervent endorsement of Romney.
Wonder what Sarah will do?

Bachman caves on que is what I am saying. No help offered before now, not to a soul who remained after her, including Santorum, nor to the last conservative standing, between the socialist and Uncle Nutty. Olympia Snow did as much.
No where can you burp up that I blame her. She is but one of many who who were repelled by nothing if Romney’s name was on it. Those who suffered from his millions and his tactics got nothing from her.
The outcome was pretty well crafted from the beginning. She figured that out and rode that pony home without a peep.

Frank discussion re our loss to Obama/Romney and the future direction of FR and tea party movementClick here to pledge your support! ^ | May 4, 2012 | Jim Robinson
Posted on Friday, May 04, 2012 8:31:27 AM byJim Robinson
My FRiends, we might as well face the reality that we the combined pro-life conservative movement and tea party coalition have lost this round (the presidential election) in the larger battle to reclaim our constitution and our inalienable rights. Rove, Romney and the GOP-e have successfully destroyed and driven off each and every pro-life conservative tea party candidate from the race and all have surrendered to the Romney camp. It is no secret that Romney is not one of us. There is absolutely no doubt that he has never accomplished a single conservative thing in his entire political career (one term as liberal governor of liberal Massachusetts and six years campaigning for president). In Massachusetts, he undeniably championed abortion, gay rights, global warming, gun control, big government statist mandated/socialized health care programs, liberal judges, TARP, bailouts, stimulus spending, debt limit increases, etc, and even though he’s recently claimed a complete reversal in political beliefs and no longer despises pro-life conservatives or the time of Reagan-Bush, I still don’t trust him. He still stubbornly holds on to some of his statist beliefs, like global warming, gays in the military, RomneyCare, stimulus spending, etc, so there is no way I can vote for him or join Cain, Perry, Bachmann, Newt or any others who are endorsing him. But I will not act on my prior promises that I would actively campaign against him if he wins the nomination.
That’s because I am a lying sack of shit and a granstanding asshole with delusions of self-importance.
Our combined movement is already torn and splintered and is going to have to be mended if we’re going to have any impact whatsoever against the liberal/progressives and statists after the election. To that end I propose a TRUCE among our conservative forces during the remainder of this election cycle.
“Our conservative forces”?
Um – it’s a handful of reactionary shitheads posting crap on a file server.
We conservatives have already lost the presidency to either the Dems or the GOP-e, and if we tear the tea party apart, if we tear the pro-life movement apart, if we tear FR apart then we lose it all.
That ship hasdefinitely sailed.
It’s far more important that we re-unite and live to fight another day. Even if we can’t vote for a true conservative for the presidency, it’s doubly important that we all turn out on election day or sooner anddrag our friends, neighbors, relatives, co-workers, etc, to the polls to vote straight conservative for every slot on our ballots.
Round them up at gunpoint if you have to. Besides, they can’t hate you any more than they already do, so what’s the downside?
The only way we can win our freedom back is to vote out the liberal progressives and vote in as many liberty loving conservatives as is humanly possible into every elected office at every level of government all across this great land.
…because electing pig-ignorant freshmen who know little about the House and Senate rules(and less about their constituency) and hold the GOP up to ridicule has workedso well this far…
To prevent a total loss to the dems or GOP-e, we must continue the tea party rebellion into November and beyond. Whatever else you may do, you must turn out and vote straight tea party conservative down ticket!!
Um – unless there’s such a thing as a checkbox on the ballot for “Tea Party”, you run into the little problem of NO TWO FREEPERS BEING ABLE TO AGREE ON WHO IS AND ISN’T A “TEA PARTY CONSERVATIVE!
We must continue expanding our inroads into the state houses and into every elective office in the land. We must continue building on our majority in the house and we must retake the senate!! We must help the conservative governors and state legislatures to fully restore the ninth and tenth amendments and reclaim the real political power away from the federal usurpers and return it to the states and the people per the constitution!! This way, regardless of who wins the presidency, we can cut his unconstitutional expansionist movements off at the knees. And if any executive, civil officer or judge dares commit impeachable offenses, we must hold the majorities so we can impeach and remove them from office!!
How is that “impeach” thingy working out for ya?
And we must salvage and rebuild and continue strengthening our conservative pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-borders, pro-constitution, pro-small government, pro-defense, pro-liberty movements and our tea party coalition. And we must stop ripping each other apart!!
And I’ll ban anybody who says otherwise!
Therefore I hereby propose a general truce among our conservative forces!!
Cool. Give the Romney supporters moderator accounts so they can ban anybody that disagrees with them, too.
Call itdetente.
The Republic we save may be our own!!
The meal ticket you save may beMY own!!
As far as FR’s finances go, we’re in the same boat as the rest of the economy and will have to make do with what we can raise. Fortunately, the big debts we ran up a couple years ago have been paid off. We borrowed approx $20,000 a few years ago from two FReepers to fund our national convention, plus we ran up another $20,000 in legal fees during the last couple of years fighting off Righthaven. But those are now behind us and paid off. We
also did quite a bit of traveling each year for the last three years on cross country tea party tours, but I think we can now cut that back and remove it from our budget requirements.
Especially since they didn’t result in any of them kissing my ass, and the only reason I even got within pie-throwing distance of Palin was that I was an old man in a wheelchair and they put me in the front row of a ropeline…
If we’re fortunate enough to not incur any additional legal costs or equipment costs (other than what we’ve already planned), and cut the travel and a few other areas, we should be able to tighten our belts enough to weather the storm even if we fail to reach our short term fundraising goals.
Whatever the outcome of the elections, we are prepared to roar into 2013 with the tea party chewing up liberal/progressives and RINOs and raising hell in our never ending fight for liberty!!
We are the resistance!!
Let’s take the enemy head-on instead of fighting each other!!
Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead!!

Dear Jim Robinson,
“To knock off the infighting on FR and concentrate on electing conservatives instead. I don’t know about others, but I personally cannot vote for Romney, but I will turn out and vote for every conservative on my ballot.”
Okay. I understand your view. That’s where I was when it looked, early in ‘08, like Giuliani might take the nomination. This time, the line in the sand that I draw is just a micron beyond where Romney is, so I can (barely) vote for him. And in that I can, I must, as the alternative is the Kenyan anti-Christ.
But, again, forgive me for the need for a little more specificity. Does this mean that folks may generally say pro-Romney things? Argue for Romney (civilly, of course)? Engage in the sort of behavior in favor of Romney that posters could in favor of other candidates, like Santorum (for whom I actually voted in my own Maryland primary, to absolutely no avail), Gingrich or Perry?
Where are the boundaries?
I ask so that folks can know, and maybe fewer bannings might result.
Thanks,

I despise Obama more because we have seen the evil that he is and know the evil that he plans to do given another four years.
I was not going to vote for McCain until he put Palin on the ticket. I cannot honestly say that I will be able to vote for Romney.
What I can say is that I want Obama gone with every ounce of my existence.
If Obama gets a second term, there will be another civil war in this country.
Tensions are high now, just wait until the American patriot is finally pushed to that breaking point.
A President Romney can be held in check with a continuing republican majority in the House

Just because I have not signed on here in a long time please do not dismiss what I have to say if you truly want a truce and free republic (what is used to be) back.What is going on? I saw a thread that was bashing Michelle Bachmann like daily kos would.
I then was further shocked seeing threads where it was okay for Newt Gingrich to endorse Romney but not Mrs. Bachmann.I also saw you ACTUALLY ACCEPT money in the FReeperthon thread from a dying man without a job.
Please take the time to explain this or I will be forced to assume you are a lowlife if you don’t.There may be a story behind it,I hope.But it sure doesn’t look good.Please give that man his money back now! Have you lost your mind,Mister Robinson?
Is that a trick question?
I bing searched Newt,Bachmann,Perry supporting Mitt Romney news articles and found threads from free republic that I thought were from daily kos.I know from reading an old bio a long time ago,that you are a former democrat.I ask: who could support Obama I mean really!? Did you get so disgusted with the GOP you are a democrat now?Am I posting on a democratic forum? WHAT IS GOING ON?Please kindly explain. Thank-You!
Why is it you are speaking for the tea party?The tea party is a big tent with people that are not as diehard as you with social issues.Upon further reading of threads why haven’t you ceased the bigotry and mormon hating threads and the nasty posts running people off posted by the very people that help you in the FReeperthon threads?
You need to reign in the group of hate that control this forum.ONE presently has no screen name and the others are just as nasty.
If this post is deleted or you do not reply to me; it will answer all my questions immediately and I will assume you have gone back to being democrat as only democrats act wishy washy and support Obama.You know darn well if you don’t vote for Romney and encourage others not too and continue allowing other conservative candidates to be trashed on your forum; you are electing Obama.

You greatly disappoint me. I WILL NOT SUPPORT ROMNEY EVER. IF you are going to back track on your promise to fight against Romney (hench the GOPe), then you are no better than Romney yourself. FR was the ONE place where PRINCIPLE was placed, by you, before pragmatism. Now you are abandoning this. I’m outta here. It isn’t worth staying around anymore. I won’t have a “truce” with persons that take the OBA attitude. A Romney administration will be no better than an Obama one.

Yes, we should elect conservative House and Senate members, but voting for Romney is a major mistake. I cannot back such nonsense.

Not going to happen. There’s not going to be anybody “holding Romney’s feet to the fire.” People who think this is going to happen are simply deluding themselves.
Conservatives have already shown that we don’t have the wherewithal to be a political force anymore. All we do is snipe at each other for not being 100% pure (each by their own personal definitions) while we systematically destroy our own candidates (Cain, Bachmann, Gingrich, Perry, Santorum, etc.) and hand the win to the worse RINO who’s ever run on the GOP label.

After demonizing every poster that expressed even the most tepid support for anyone besides the preferred candidate of FR, whatever candidate of that day that might have been, many of us have voted with our keyboards and have given up on FR.
I certainly have.
This is the first post I have made in months. It is likely to be one of my last.
And as far as financial supporting FR; Why would I give money to a site that would ban me without appeal on the whim of some unknown moderator all for not toeing the “approved” line?
No thanks.
Cheers,

So how about the recently banned Romney supporters who long ago recognized the futility of a third party. You going to reinstate them?

Seems to be a popular question.
To ask, not to answer.
See you good people next Monday.
I think “fun control” is what the wingnuts are after. California? Not so much.

JimRob = RINO!!!

Nice work, as always, Tommy T.
Thanks
Outstanding coverage of the FR circus. Now, go jump into a vat of hand-sanitizer and scrub …
I’m starting to wish I knew what “GOP-E” means. They all seem to use it like it’s something that matters to someone. Is it just another nonsense wingnut code-phrase?
I’m still looking forward to the day when Robinson bans all his mods and closes off the site to everyone but himself. After that, he’ll start cutting off fingers and toes for betraying him somehow…
“I’m starting to wish I knew what “GOP-E” means.”
GOP-Elite.
Watching wingnuts suddenly realize that the Party they think is theirs really belongs to a bunch of wealthy career politicians who could give a fuck less about them – is sweet irony.

Last week I asked “Could this be the end of FR?”
Apparently JimRob asked himself the same question and decided to try some serious contortions to avoid being relegated to the scrap heap of history.
I thought “GOPe” and “GOP-E” stood for “GOP establishment”, though I guess it’s a matter of toMAYto vs. toMAHto.
And it’s fascinating how draconian the GOP purity tests have gotten. Is thereanyone they haven’t called a RINO (except possibly Our Lady Sarah)?
I just heard a slight “pop” in my ear. Apparently that is the sound of Freepers imploding as they are sucked up their own arses.
Awesome.
Scott asked the same question I had. Thanks Tommy T!
Have they done the VeepStakes yet? I bet that would be interesting.
I’m missing something here.
Gingrich was (“I won’t drop out” “I’ll go through to the convention no matter what” )a week ago announced that he was considering his options (Once you are politically dead, your options are A, B , and C – all that you’re politically dead). Not to mention that if you’re against an academic elistist, Gingrich definitely fits the bill. He also had the Faux News / Rupert Murdoch wire tap seal of approval.
So now, the 2 choices for the convention are Romney and Romney. So what is there for FR to talk about?
However, much more interesting, isn’t it delicious that the pro-NRA Repub Convention is now having to deal with the choice of either banning legal weapons near the convention -or- interfering with the Second Amendment Rights including the cornerstone platform of concealed carry.
“So what is there for FR to talk about?”
Basically, the FUMR and ABO factions are still going after each other hammer and tongs, “truce” be damned.
Oh – and the Kenyan Usurper.

I couldn’t read until after work this week, but gave me a chance to savor it. GOP-elite, or as we call them, GOP. It is like Jim Rob is a battered spouse. “The party only does this because they love me.”. I also love this pervasive belief that posting nonsense in a like minded web site is somehow activism. That it makes a difference. Look, I love my friends at FD, but I don’t delude myself into thinking that my or any other comments mobilize a political movement. To the contrary, I think that Athenae, Scout, et al have done more real good for the world through specific projects for school donations, animal shelters, etc.. than Free Republic has ever done.

On a side note: doesn’t JR live in California? Wouldn’t a stronger states’ rights government result in a much more liberal gov’t in CA than the current federal gov’t? Wouldn’t he actually be ushering in more fun control, legalized drugs, gay marriage, and social welfare this way?
Um, that should have been “gun” control, not “fun” control.
Also, I want to clear up my comment a bit – I hope people don’t infer that web sites aren’t useful, don’t have thoughtful commentary, or are worthless in my comment. I meant to imply that they are only useful ineffecting political change to he degree it translates to the physical realm: showing up at the WI Sate House, documenting the Katrina response, and even showing up at the animal shelter to volunteer. All Freepers do is threaten to leave a party that never knew they existed to begin with.
And the Freepathon is up to 72% of the (even newer) goal of $88,000. Oddly enough, the goal has gone up from $84,000 last week. I think the sequence of goals is: $100K, $94K, $84K, $88K. Is Jim Rob fine-tuning the goal to squeeze the last possible nickel out of the Freepi? No, he would never do that.
For once I agree with Shepard Smith.
OK, for twice.
…and will start getting my news from The Onion and the Revelations of Saint John the Divine.
I agree. It’s hardly news that the Salamander is crazy.
Like South Freepistan?
After passing that through my syntax-correcting, semantics-preserving Freepistani translator (Pat. Pending), it came out as:
Or you could just tell him to bugger off.
