NEWT RIPS 'NASTY' HILL

DROPS NICE-GUY APPROACH TO 'RUTHLESS' RIVAL

Newt Gingrich



March 1, 2007 -- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich yesterday called Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton "a nasty woman" who runs an "endlessly ruthless" campaign machine.
The conservative Republican made the surprising comments - after months of taking care not to trash the Democratic presidential front-runner - in a wide-ranging New York Post editorial-board interview.
Asked whether Americans are ready to elect Rudy Giuliani - a leader, the questioner noted, whom Ed Koch had called a "nasty man" - Gingrich shot back, "As opposed to a nasty woman?"
Gingrich added that he thinks she'll be the nominee, and cited the battle between Clinton's camp and Sen. Barack Obama's team last week over Obama donor David Geffen bashing the former first couple.
"Nobody will out-mud the Clintons," said Gingrich, who added that he'll decide in the coming months whether to run for the White House.
He called Clinton's political team one of the most "talented" in U.S. history, but "endlessly ruthless."
"You can't beat them tactically . . . They're too relentless, they're too well-organized, they have too big a machine and they'll just grind you down," he said.
"If they think [Obama] is a real threat, they'll just grind him up."
Gingrich's harsh comments about Clinton were surprising because he has complimented her abilities and worked with her last year on a health-care initiative.
Clinton campaign spokesman Blake Zeff cited several instances in the last year where Gingrich had kind words for the senator. "Before Mr. Gingrich started running for president, he repeatedly praised Sen. Clinton," Zeff said. "We take him at his word then."
During the Post session, Gingrich also:
* Dubbed Obama a great "counterimage" to Clinton, but said he doesn't think the Illinois Democrat can win. "If the country wants therapy, they're going to elect Obama," he said.
* Said the GOP needs to nominate a Ronald Reagan-type candidate and added, "I think it's not an accident that Giuliani is running as well as he is in the polls."
Gingrich called New York's evolution under Giuliani "a tremendous story . . . It's a different city."
* Warned that the GOP is in the "early stages of an enormous transition" and suggested electability is an issue for Republicans.
"A normative Republican running like a traditional Republican, which means a non-Reagan Republican, and trying to beat Hillary by being negative is hopeless," he said.
Last night, at an election forum at Cooper Union, Gingrich and former Gov. Mario Cuomo agreed on the need for more meaningful debates by the presidential candidates in 2008. Gingrich called for nine weekly 90-minutes debates between the two nominees before Election Day.

Well, Newt IS right, LOL. Hillary is a nasty woman and only out for herself. I pray ALL of America understands what Newt said before the Democrat Primary. PLEASE wake up, America!

Sorry, I love Pink, I know you think Hillary is a doll, but PLEASE try to study up on the real Hillary.

Excuse me? But I don't recall writing you and where do you get off suggesting I study up on Mrs. Clinton. I've read more on her than probably any of the people that are posting on this forum. BTW I like the little Gold Stars under your name, could you put 5 little pink hearts under mine? Thanks, Jennifer

I have recently found a website that shows congress voting records including hellarys record. You can also see where hellary stands on different issues. O wait no you can't because SENATOR HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON REPEATEDLY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY
RESPONSES TO CITIZENS ON ISSUES THROUGH THE 2006
NATIONAL POLITICAL AWARENESS TEST WHEN ASKED TO DO SO BY

Key national leaders of both major parties including:
John McCain, Republican Senator
Geraldine Ferraro, Former Democratic Congresswoman
Michael Dukakis, Former Democratic Governor
Bill Frenzel, Former Republican Congressman
Richard Kimball, Project Vote Smart President

Over 100 news organizations throughout the nation also urged their candidates to supply their issue positions through the National Political Awareness Test.

P.S. If you ask me she never took the test about the issues in an effort to sneak her way into office with her popularity.

IT WOULDN'T LET ME INSERT THE LINK. BUT IF YOU JUST E-MAIL ME I'LL SEND THEM TO YOU. BY THEM, I MEAN I FOUND A WEBSITE WITH SOME SPENDING RECORDS.

Gangsta, she is probably aware that no sitting Senator has won the Presidential election since JFK. That's because they have a record that the voters can see. That's why she is hiding hers. Being the politician that she is, she tries to be all things to all people.
