Video Catches Angry Iowa Voter Calling Gingrich: ‘An Embarrassment To Our Party’

As conservative pundits throw Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich overboard, one voter in Iowa echoes the same sentiment and is willing to tell Newt to his face. The awkward encounter even has Newt and the upset Iowan continuing to shake hands as Newt receives a series of harsh insults.

The uncomfortable exchange:

Iowan: What you just did to Paul Ryan is unforgivable.
Gingrich: I didn’t do anything to Paul Ryan.
Iowan: Yes, you did. You undercut him. . . . You’re an embarrassment to our party.
Gingrich: I’m sorry you feel that way.
Iowan: Why don’t you get out before you make a bigger fool of yourself?
Gingrich: Sorry you feel that way.

It’s hard not to sympathize with the plight of a candidate, eager to win over anyone they meet and willing to subject themselves to such torturous conversations like this one. Yet given Newt’s years of political experience, it seems unlikely that a few harsh words, even from many of his former conservative allies, would be enough to convince him to “get out.”

Watch the clip below from Fox News:

Newt Gingrich = patriot. REAL American.

this is what happens if you step out of the gop talking points and do something other than the party line. Either you’re goose stepping with the rest of the movement or you’re against them.

Hilarious. Newt is a necon, and would be virtually no different than Bu$h or O-Bomb-a.

Smart move Newton. You’re supposed to wait until you win the Republican primary before you throw them under the bus, and start fellating Obama via MSDNC. I believe John McCain has the road map to disaster you’re looking for, dipshit.

Or you could be like Obama, and wait until you actually fall assbackwards into a job you don’t deserve, and then completely shit all over your base.

I bet that dude scolding Gingrich is a hypocrite in his own right. May God damn him to Hell as well.

You need to worry about your own boy…his approval ratings have dropped below 50 in Gallup …and they are on your side. http://www.gallup.com/Home.aspx

The bump he got by issuing the “Assanation Hit” on UBL only lasted a few days. Oh Well!

Well you should hate Iowans. They are the people that fired the first shot in the War for America’s Soul by supporting the Great Evil One who would rise up to enslave us all with his healthcare and his black people stuff.

As for Bachmann, she bailed on Iowa. Furthermore, she couldn’t win Waterloo’s district.

Gingrich threw Paul Ryan under the bus. And that’s hard to do. There isn’t much room under the bus because of the seniors Ryan already threw there.

Requiem: Newt’s presidential campaign, May 11 – 15
From “running” to “politically dead” in RECORD TIME !!!! Way to go, newt !!!!!
That’s what’s called: “Change so fast it will make your head spin”.

Requiem: Newt’s presidential campaign, May 11 – 15
From “running” to “politically dead” in RECORD TIME !!!! Way to go, newt !!!!!
That’s what’s called: “Change so fast it will make your head spin”.After Mr. ETHANOL gingrich counted the MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars he got from the ETHANOL LOBBY for supporting this waste of taxpayer money, he decided he has a shot at buying the election to become the “president of corn”.

Americans, conservatives and Republicans: DO NOT ALLOW THE NO-CHARACTER, AMNESTY-JOHN mccain disaster to be repeated. You, and America, can do better — a LOT better — than Mr. ETHANOL (aka, “Monica-Stain-Bill Lite”).

Replacing a president who’s a PUPPET of the union bo$$e$ with one that’s a PUPPET of the ETHANIOL LOBBY really isn’t much of an improvement.

In late 2010, General Motors agreed to sponsor a propaganda film celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The CCP made film titled (translated to English) “The Birth of a Party” or “The Great Achievement of Founding the Party” is set to premiere all over the Communist nation on June 15 reported China AutoWeb last September. The auto website adds:

“As the CCP marries totalitarianism with capitalism and fools the people with entertainment, only the “politically correct” or stupid–or those who pretend to be so–can get rich. And GM seems to know this very well. While Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Volvo have all rushed to please China’s rich and powerful through physical enlargement (offering models of extended wheelbases), Cadillac gratifies the party orally, singing praises through a film.”

According to the above report, the film will discuss events that led up to the formation of the CCP following the 1917 Russian Revolution. When the movie first went into production GM signed up Cadillac as the “chief business partner” with the Communist Party, stating: “Cadillac whole-heartedly supports the making of the Birth of a Party.”

It is painfully obvious that the Party, of “Family Values”, is a National Joke. I’m convinced that the “Republicon” National Convention, should be carried by Comedy Central.

Medicare is Welfare? Why America will ever come back assholes like this! Ever wonder why France, Belgium, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand… All bet America as better places to live? Shit even Venezuela has a better way off life. It’s because arseholes like these think social benefits are evil and against liberty. Well keep it up I hear a privatized Fire dept & Police dept is due. Clueless backwater ass!

“Newt’s Tuesday Blogger Conference Call”

I think at what’s called: “(Politically) Dead Man Talking”
or, “Zombie Speak”

Give it up newt, you’re one of the few people ever to commit suicide with his own mouth. My advice: Stay dead so you won’t make an even bigger fool of yourself and become an even bigger embarrassment to the Republican party.

Good example of anti-American Democrat perspective. Rational people, however, prefer America and the individual liberty guaranteed by our Constitution…………….ya know, our founding document that Communist-brainwashed Democrats pretend doesn’t exist.

Democrat definition of “liberty’: You are FREE to be forced to fund and suffer from bankrupt social programs designed to buy votes for Democrats from the gullible.

Say what you will about Newt but he accomplished something that’s extremely difficult to do, he’s an embarrassment to the Republican party. Wow, that’s saying something if you can embarrass the Republican party.

Newt is a jerk, but until the Republican Party stops considering it UNFORGIVABLE for any Republican to say anything bad about any other Republican, they are worthless to America.

Newt is a jerk, but if he thinks Ryan is wrong, he should feel free to say so.
