what a stupid bluff

 

[thoughtomator]

Someone ought to call his bluff.

Newt can't compete if he can't use mind control techniques.

It was so funny how Newt was neutered last night (cause he couldn't attack anyone). I guess he noticed it too. What a baby. I hope they silence the audience at the next debate. Or have a debate with no audience. What would Newton do? No "pause for applause" with arms outstretched?

 

[phill4paul]

In what has become a standard line of attack for his anti-establishment campaign,

WTF? LOLZ.

 

[A. Havnes]

That guy has such a huge ego. He needs people to sing his praises or he's not in it? Ron Paul was a lone voter and endured criticism for years before the chants of "End the Fed!" started. Gingrich is a horrible man, and I don't call people horrible lightly.

HAHAHAH NEWT IS "THE SPANIARD"

LOL

 

[69360]

His whole game is attacking the moderators for applause. He has no substance.

 

[camp_steveo]

Paul was cheered 3 times last night. The media ignores him.

 

[sailingaway]

What a narcissist.

 

[LiveForHonortune]

He's just upset that the only time they did it last night was for Paul.

 

[pauliticalfan]

What a puss.

How does he expect to debate in the general election, then? They never allow cheering during those debates. This guy is such a farce. His whole campaign is based off of debates, but when he has to actually provide answers without a rabid crowd of Silver Assholes, he can't do it. Pathetic.

This is a good observation. Ann Coulter noted something very similar last night, stating that Newt "sucks up" to whatever audience he has in front of him.

That's because Newton Leroy is all show and no substance.

In an interview with the morning show “Fox and Friends,” Mr. Gingrich said NBC’s rules amounted to stifling free speech. In what has become a standard line of attack for his anti-establishment campaign, Mr. Gingrich blamed the media for trying to silence a dissenting point of view.

“I wish in retrospect I’d protested when Brian Williams took them out of it because I think it’s wrong,” Mr. Gingrich said. “And I think he took them out of it because the media is terrified that the audience is going to side with the candidates against the media, which is what they’ve done in every debate.”

Yeah, it was done to silence Dr. Paul, Mr. Grinch. He's trying way too hard to look like the underdog by attacking the media, yet the media has been particularly favorable towards him.

Mr. Gingrich soared to victory in the South Carolina last week after back-to-back debates in which he took on the moderators with as much zeal as he took on his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination. The audiences, which were far larger and encouraged to participate, cheered him on as he pushed back. First he lashed out at Juan Williams of Fox News for suggesting that Mr. Gingrich’s comments about blacks and welfare were offensive. Then he snapped at John King of CNN for opening the debate with a question about accusations that he had asked an ex-wife for an “open marriage.”

Mr. Gingrich’s performance in the debate in Tampa on Monday night was far more muted. Critics noted that he seemed to be off his game. The National Journal, which co-hosted the NBC debate, compared Gingrich to “a stand-up comedian whose routine suffers without echoes of laughter egging him on.”

Mr. Gingrich clearly noticed something was off, too. “We’re going to serve notice on future debates,” he told Fox. “The media doesn’t control free speech. People ought to be allowed to applaud if they want to.”

This isn't about free speech, it's about being able to bask in the glory of applause whilst you spew crap without substance out of your mouth, Mr. Grinch.

Notice that the crowd did applaud a candidate, but it sure as heck wasn't him.

He's a sitcom that needs a laugh track for the jokes to work.

Newt = 2 1/2 Men
Ron = 30 Rock

what will it do if we boo?

THIS!!!

Here's a plan, no audience other than the TV audience, no moderators, and equal time for all 4 remaining candidates. Let them duke it out saying what they want to say and only allow the mike to come on when it is their time to speak and go off when their time is up. Ron Paul would win such a debate hands down.

 

[pmbug]

lulz

 

[dfalken]

What an arrogant fat turd. He truly is like a comedian, he feels like an idiot if he doesn't get his ego stroked by the crowd. This is what a lack of substance can do to people.
