Newt Gingrich On The View, Says Hillary's "The Candidate": Watch Video

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich took to the airwaves on the only show where his unique combination of oozing charm and banal political advice can be appreciated: The View! And don't think he didn't take the opportunity to play schoolmaster to the entire Democratic party, lecturing the DNC, Howard Dean and Barack Obama.

We should all be angry at Howard Dean, Newt declares, because he is "shamefully biased in favor of Obama." The proof? Well first, Hillary is winning the popular vote, at least if you include the states where Barack wasn't on the ballot. Ergo, Dean hates Hillary. And women. Of course, there's no explanation of why winning a contested popular vote but losing the official delegate vote (which after all, is how the Democratic convention is decided) makes Dean a Obamaniac. It just does.

But wait, there's more! Dean won't let Michigan and Florida count, so he must love Obama (I guess Terry McAuliffe does too). After all, Newt has an easy fix to the Florida situation: just revote. No mention, of course, on how to finance or organize a new election which both state parties have ruled out. Newt seems to be vaguely aware of this dilemma, as he outlines a plan for a Michigan revote, but simply gives Florida the "wave-of-my-hand" solution.

And who, Barbara Walters feverishly wants to know, "Who is the candidate?" Newt says, as of today, "the candidate" is Sen. Clinton. The candidate to win? The candidate Republicans want? The candidate with the initials H.R.C.? Who knows.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich oozes....further elucidation is superfluous.

[dvdpt]

Rupublican want Hillary to win the nomination
Republican know about Hillary inditement her court appearance will be shortly after the nomination !

[susiesorority]

Who cares what he thinks? For that matter, who in hell watches this show?

[castlerider]

Why didn't Babawawa or any of those supposed "smart" ladies ask Newt about how so many people are agreeing that it is obvious that rethugs want Hillary to be the nominee above all others
Well, here's the obvious reason: Bill Clinton and his awkward footing at the start of his leadership cost Dems the House AND Senate in 1994.

Newt was at the helm of this now proven hypocritical "contract with America" powergrab.

There is absolutely nothing that will thrill Newt, Rush, and all those fat slobs who made their cherry on rousting the Clintons more then to have their favorite fat-ankled dear lady in the running, and even better, in the White House.

It's astounding to watch people like Newt Gingrich, Pat Buchanan, Joe Scarborough, Richard Mellon Scaife, and Rupert Murdoch, all enemies of the Democratic Party, touting Hillary Clinton day in and day out. Only a clueless Democrat would think that these people actually want Hillary to be president. What they want is for her to win the Democratic Party nomination so they can run against her. Why? Because they believe they can beat her. If she wins the nomination, they will turn on her like a grizzly bear. Their biggest ammo is being saved up for Hillary. Does anyone really believe these die-hard Republicans are going to support Hillary over McCain in the general election? They are just trying to manipulate some Democrats who are clueless about their real motives.

NEWT IS RIGHT. Howard Dean hates women and Hillary is the target of his problem. He has screwed this process up so badly that the winning candidate, Hillary, has to deal with these stupid caucus victories that are meaningless. Obama bused in his thugs, 160,000 of them and they did real damage to Hillary because they literally blocked their way into the rooms, and then when that failed, they out-shouted and out-shoved these women until many left rather than stay and be threatened. What's more Hillary is the only one who can beat McCain. Obama can't win the big states that must be won in the general election.

Here is the proof: May 1, 2008 - Clinton Tops McCain In Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Obama-McCain Too Close To Call In Two Key States: --- FLORIDA: Clinton 49 - McCain 41; McCain 44 - Obama 43; OHIO: Clinton 48 - McCain 38; McCain 43 - Obama 42: PENNSYLVANIA: Clinton 51 - McCain 37; Obama 47 - McCain 38

The Republican's Talking Points

#1 Make Hillary the Nominee
#2 Make Hillary the Nominee
#3 Make Hillary the Nominee or else we fail.

Are Democrats Republicans? Hillary used to be one.

[naijaman]

obama 08

[MsMedia53]

And this is news...why?

[dax49]

what a pretty picture, a crone, a creep, and a criminal

[Gumby123]

This is a sure sign not to vote for Hillary.

[Bill3rdterm]

The repub's were the ones pushing this "The base will come out in droves to vote against a Clinton" BS The repubs aren't staying home if the far left liberal Obama gets the nomination. They know they can count on a huge base of racists and those who just don't like change. Think about the fact that Bill Clinton had a 67% approval rating when he left the white house, that's among everyone not just Dem's and that was coming off the blowie. Many Moderates and Indies will support the Clintons who won't support a bleeding heart liberal. The repub's are happier then a pig in shit right now. The only reason they want this to play out is
1. The longer it goes on the weaker Obama will look
2. If the Supers Over rule the voters, they know the Dem's will not win.

Many of you so called Dem's bought hook line and sinker GOP right wing talking points about the CLintons to the point that you believe it and attempt to attack them the same way they did. Democrats are so damn gullable and naive. I'm done with this party, Independant here I come.

[StandingStill]

Be gone with you! And vote your interest and not your fears. There are enough idiots out here who only vote what they are afraid of. And anyone, ANYONE who Newt wants to run against is the candidate we Democrats should be running away from. Ask yourselves, why are the Republicans going out of their way to try and help Hillary get the nomination, #1 The Retarded Republicans are afraid of Barack Obama and they want to run against Hillary, they think they can beat her. And #2, if Sen. Obama doesn't get the nomination after winning the most delegates, the most states and the popular vote, evil Republicans believe the Democratic party will be split in half. They want Hillary to get the nomination so they can splinter our party. They KNOW their LYING, CHEATING, DISGUSTING, COWARDICE self can't win unless they can split our party. DON'T LET THOSE LYING BASTARDS WIN!

DEMOCRATS 08 - It's Our Year To Take Back Our Country!

[iluvsam]

Will, let me guess who you're supporting...hmmmm. Obama, right? Like none of us could crack that code.

Newt is the biggest tool around, but it's funny how you post a critical video of him, and yet you're just as biased as he is.

[aznurse]

And he was on Jon Stewart's show last night. Oinking about his new book. I had to it off.
