From the AP:
MACON, Ga. — Republican Newt Gingrich told a Georgia audience on Friday evening that the 2012 presidential election is the most consequential since the 1860 race that elected Abraham Lincoln to the White House and was soon followed by the Civil War.
Addressing the Georgia Republican Party's convention, Gingrich said the nation is at a crossroads and that the re-election of Democratic President Barack Obama would lead to four more years of "radical left-wing values" that would drive the nation to ruin.
Gingrich also blasted Obama as "the most successful food stamp president in modern American history."
Really Newt? Can't you disguise your racism better than that?
This is not masterful dog-whistling, this is just plain clumsy.
Is anyone really excited about your presidential run? Is there one person in the entire US who says, "You know, I would really like to see that philandering, disgraced former speaker of the house, with his con-man awards and wild, over the top ravings ( "Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior") run for president?"
I'm sure there is someone. If you scrape off the bottom of your shoe, you never know what you will find.
