I am sick of the kind of dishonest campaigns that we see where people go out and fake somebody else's material for the purpose of causing trouble 24 hours before a primary.
Newt Gingrich
The Public Record
Newt Gingrich is a prominent Republican politician from Georgia, best known for serving as the 50th Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 1995 to 1999. He played a significant role in the Republican Revolution of the 1990s, leading the party to a majority in the House for the first time in 40 years. Gingrich is recognized for his advocacy of conservative policies, including tax reform and welfare reform, and he was a key architect of the 'Contract with America,' which outlined a legislative agenda for the GOP in the 1994 midterm elections.
I think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run for public office.
If we win on Saturday, with your help, I believe I will become the nominee because I do think South Carolina, in fact, has an enormous impact.
I think it's critical that you win as often as you can. I think that this is -- the number one thing we now know is that when this becomes a two-person race then Romney has a problem because he's too liberal for most Republican voters.
To take an ex-wife and make it two days before the primary a significant question in a presidential campaign is as close to despicable as anything I can imagine.
We need aggressive leadership to change Washington, and that's essentially what I'm going to offer.
But there's no question Governor Romney will always have more money. He's the Wall Street candidate.
First of all, we have -- the campaign manager for Marco Rubio is now running our campaign. He's a terrific leader.
The story is false. Every personal friend I have who knew us in that period said the story was false.
The truth is, you did very well under the rules that we created to make it easier for entrepreneurs to go out and do things. You would have been much poorer had Jimmy Carter remained president.
If there's anything in there that is going to help us lose the election, we should know it before the nomination.
I would be quite happy to have a three-hour Lincoln/Douglas style debate with Barack Obama.
I think grandiose thoughts. This is a grandiose country of big people, doing big things. And we need leadership prepared to take on big projects.
for us to be getting lectured about a work ethic from Newt Gingrich is a little over the top.
Well, first of all, Juan, the fact is that more people have been put on Food Stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history.
Ask yourself a simple question. Why would you want to nominate the guy who lost to the guy who lost to Obama? OK? I mean it's just -- you know. OK?
I'm saying that he misstated the facts. I'll let you use the language you want to. But he's clearly misstated the facts.
Yes, of course he -- of course he did. You know he did. Now the question is, so --
I'm saying that he misstated the facts. The Washington Post gave him three Pinocchios for his claim.
That's not an issue about the whole capitalist system. That is a question about a very particular style of activity involving a very -- remember, we're not talking about the system. We're talking about somebody who is running for president…
This is going to be Armageddon. I mean, they will come in here with everything they have got, every surrogate, every ad, every negative attack. At the same time, we're going to be basically drawing a sharp contrast between a Georgia-Reagan…
