Newt Gingrich Drops Out: Unforgettable Moments From The Wild Ride (VIDEO)

Newt Gingrich drops out of election 2012

In open defiance of his poor poll numbers, dried up campaign funds and the undebatable logic of delegate math, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich -- once described as an "angry little attack muffin" -- managed to resurrect his campaign time and time again.

But it seems reality has finally caught up with Gingrich as he officially exits the race for the Republican presidential nomination on Wednesday.

We thought it might never happen.

HuffPost took the opportunity to compile a mashup of the most sensational, confusing and jaw-dropping things that Newt tried to tell America during his campaign.

Flossie's got a wheelbarrow full should anyone's compost pile need a steaming jump start. Grab a pitchfork and dig in.

What about Ron Paul ? Do his supporters claim that he has more delegates?

Newt may have stepped aside but his followers will still be voting. The Democratic party must not let their guard down. The fact that this farce was perpetrated as a serious run for the Presidency of the greatest nation on earth should concern us all. Gingrich is not a symptom he is the disease of hatred gone common place in our society.

I have an idea. Let's raise funds to build a monument to honor all the "angry little attack muffins" of the world.

Newt does not know his bible if he thinks that the OT solidly makes the point of monogamy. The so-called sacred bloodline is full of some sexually shady dealings. Het monogamy was introduced to Christianity through Roman converts. Pagan Roman custom demanded marriage as one man and one woman.

Thaag, I would like to take the opportunity to up you on the Bible. The first union in the Bible was between one man & one woman and the minister was none other than the God the Creator himself.
The idea of multiple wives for the Israelites was introduced by the surrounding nations, pagan nations long before Rome came on the scene. In Matt. 5:31 Jesus answer a few questions in one. What was meant by God in the very beginning versus what man did. You need to separate the two because they are different. It was the disobedience of the chosen people to have more than one wife. What you are implicating is that they were ignorant of a monogamy and their obligations before Rome. Totally false!

Man this sucks...I've been saving my troll nickels for months.I finally reached fifty bucks,and was totally (scratch that) "severely excited" to be able to get one of Newts signed photos.......
Now,what to do with fifty bucks?..uhm......
I'm not so good with math...how many six packs of Natty Ice can I get with that? Well anyways,I can always toss the empties on the trailer's lawn..well,dirt driveway,and on slow blog days collect them for nickels...
Another great plan comes together.And everyone said I would never amount to anything...

Wonder how many traffic lights Newt blew thru today on his way back to his non white house home with mistress number 3 riding shot gun. Secret Service must be really hitting Adams Organs tonight.

Can we please file the Newt's campaign under the "whatever" articles on HP and get on with the serious discussion of how the Prez is going to wipe the floor with Mitt?

"If the only people who vote in elections are law-abidin­g, hardworkin­g citizens who are deeply committed to America, the left wing of the Democratic Party will cease to exist,"

Gingrich said at a campaign stop in Duncan, South Carolina.

Hmmm. It would appear that I was right. Newt Gingrich would get no where near the Republican nomination. This whole primary has been frightfully predictable. By the way, Republicans... Stock up on tissues... Rmoney will never call the White House home.

Evidently obama is worried about it - since Judicial Watch exposed through the filing of a lawsuit when the WH ignored the FOIA requests = Obama and the WH - Eric Holder and DOJ attorneys - had scheduled meetings - "colluding" - w Estelle Rogers of Project Vote, a project of ACORN - to file lawsuits against States passing VOTER ID Laws and States seeking approval to purge their voter rolls of DECEASED people.

what political party is so desperate to manipulate the election - that it does not want people to identify themselves to Vote = show ID - and needs DEAD people to remain on the voter rolls?

Only a political party that wants to protect the criminalities of our elections in the USA - instead of protecting the integrity of our votes.

Newt Gingrich:
"I believe every American of every background has been endowed by their creator with the right to pursue happiness. And if that makes liberals unhappy, I'm going to continue to find ways to help poor people learn how to get a job, learn how to get a better job, and learn someday to own the job."
