Newt Gingrich To Run For President in 2012

Wow, this is very interesting! Of all people who would have thought Newt Gingrich would even consider running for president in 2012.

According to Gingrich he is seriously taking running for president under consideration. He said he will be seeking the Republican presidental nomination and by next year he will have made his decision.

Newt Gingrich

Gingrich, 67, has predicted that President Obama will not win a second term. He says his plans is to help the repbulicans through the midterms in November and by February or March he will make his decision.

The former U.S. House Speaker has compared President Obama to former President Bill Clinton. He says that while President Obama has no intentions of going towards the middle, but Bill understiood middle America.

"The Truth is Bill Clinton was quite happy to move to the right." Gingrich said.

So what do you think now that President Obama polls have dropped below 50%? Do you think Gingrich has a chance of winning in 2012?

I don't need to see the link. I saw him speak on Foxnews. He would be a great president just like he was a great speaker of the house. I am a Mit Romney fan but Gingrich might be a game changer...

Gingrich is trying to rehabilitate his image ... I think he will find he cannot and there is not hope, but hey, I'd like to see him burn through all his money. The man is a total liar who would make a better used car salesman.

Newt thinks he's a contender. He's not.

Whatever polls that are out there now don't mean much until after the November elections.

Then the race begins.

The former speaker, who championed a family values agenda, spearheaded efforts to impeach Clinton for perjury over his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Gingrich later admitted having an extramarital affair of his own in 1998 with a former congressional aide, Callista Bisek. He married Bisek after divorcing his second wife, Marianne.

This hypocrite wants to be the President? May the Goddess save us all!

I gotta figure our system does not work too well when parasites like Gingrinch stay in a holding pattern waiting for the public to forget while going to college campuses and giving rah-rah speeches about American values. This slime bag will say anything, talking about the Consitution and democracy all the while trying to tear both apart.

I don't think he know ANY "value" if it came up and bit his giant behind!

When his first wife was in the hospital for a Cancer operation he went to her bedside to talk about a divorce settlement. His second wife said, in the past, that if he ran for President that she would tell the world what kind of thing he is (I just couldn't use the word person to describe him). And now he is married to a much younger Catholic. Plus, he was in the Post Office Scandal where he wrote a lot of very warm checks. He is a man without a moral compass, but if I am wrong, at least his moral compass is totally NOT WORKING and I DOUBT THAT IT EVER DID. And Tom DeLay of TEXAS also, in my opinion, was a totally corrupted man without a conscience.
