Default Gingrich owns CNN stooge and media at SC GOP Debate.

This is why Newt needs to beat the empty suit known as Romney, he is a fighter(with mostly right ideas) and could just own Barry in the fall debates/Enjoy...

Here's an idea if the media can't report the news don't buy the products of their sponsers, it's going to be the battle of the almighty dollar you may not know it you vote every day with your hard earned dollars. You can start by not supportting companies that got wavours from Obama care, theres 1200 of them.

Good Lord, not the "Elite Media" dodge again. The GOP coservative right certainly has enough overly loud, overly self-righteous blowhards (Limbaugh, et al) dominating the airwaves that the tired dodge Newt trotted out last night was almost pathetic. If Newt, or anyone else, GOP or Dem, can't take questions this early in the campaign about their problems/pecadiloes, they should just drop out now. They created the situations they are now forced to explain/defend. Be big boys/girls and show you can take responsibilty for you life. Newt should better show he can "own" responsibity for himself than pathetically trying to "own" someone else...

BTW, the sniping, criticism, and general mudslinging the GOP candidates are doing amongst themselves is serving to do nothing more than write the "playbook" for the Dems and Obama in the real campaign. There is nothing more disgusting than seeing a candidate, of either party, dragging an opponent through the mud and then being forced to drop out of the race, suddenly turn around and give their "support" to the very person they tried to defile. As Doc Holliday said to Wyatt Earp in the film "Tombstone"; "There appears to be no end to the depth of my hypocrisy"...

While he makes a decent enough point about the media tabloid stuff being poisonous to having a real debate, I still think you would have no problems cheering if the same question was asked of a Democrat.

But then there's always the fact that the guy came to prominence by dragging the Clintons' sex lives into public. Not so fun when it's done to you, is it, Newty? Still, he's right. It's not really an appropriate debate question and shame on CNN for leading with it, or including it at all.

Dem or GOP, makes no difference to me...

There's the old saying "As you sow, so shall you reap"; Newt, who, as you point out, deighted in dragging Clinton through the mud, is now "feeling the "pain". I really believe anything a candidate has in his past actions that reflect on his/her judgement, morals, ethics, etc. is fair game. It is also said the purpose of journalism is to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable; Newt and quite a few other politcians of all stripes deserve to be afflicted and we, the voting public deserve to know what a candidates true self is behind the smarmy smile, the flag waving, and the "God Bless America!" (patriotism, after all, is "the last refuge of the scoundrel") whoope-cushion ejaculations...

How many candidates has Bubbles got through so far?
One minute its the media ignoring them thats the problem, the next its media focusing on them that is the problem ...the candidate then tanks and he is off on the next one with the same refrain.

Imagine, if you would, this being transposed to a Democratic primary debate. Imagine if the media would take the 'high ground' and not ask such a question. The usual suspects would now be frothing over how the media took a powder rather than ask the question.

It all comes down to what team you root for and who your horse is.

Obama will win the election
No. I am not a fan of Obama
The reason why I think this, is that Americans know what they have in this financial crises, but do not know what get if they set a X in one of the opponents.

Obama's next opponent, promises much, but does not dare to say what must be said and must be done

REALLY, it is no one's business about his personal life as far as relationships etc to go.I was uh a kid when the Clinton thing was going on but as an adult, I don't care if Clinton was a chubby chaser who got a blowjob who cheated on his wife(I mean have you seen Hillary? lol), Clinton's problem is he lied to the public and under oath and barely avoided getting removed from office.Yea Newt was being a hyprocrite and he suffered for it, he lost the speakership, his reputation was shattered etc, talk about being humbled. Like he has said, 10+ years ago he was a different person.Some people do change, he's been married since and has had no issues, all his personal issues are the PAST.Perhaps he finally found the person he should be with? The question was highly inappropriate at all, but especially for the first question when there are so many important issues to discuss.

This garbage is not important, Newt Gingrich is an intelligent, articulate candidate with mostly great ideas and intentions.Gingrich is not a puppet so the "establishment" dislikes him, media hates him because he does not take their crap and they are liberal, they know he would slaughter obama in debates.They want Romney because he is an empty suit who won't call obama out on his bull.

To the poster who claimed the GOP gripes about the elite media is crap.Are you kidding? The networks are clearly biased in addition to CNN and MSNBC is nothing more than the propaganda arm of the Democratic party. Fox News is the alternative.Their actual new is fairly mostly, their commentators, yes they tend to be conservative or right leaning but they are the alternative and guess what? They continue to destroy their competition because fair minded viewers ignore the propaganda coming form other networks.Like Newt said, people are tired of the media covering for obama.

Tribes, you sad little troll.Yes, I was for Cain, hes gone and disappointed me with his behavior.I have always liked Newt but figured he was finished, I am for Ron Paul mostly but he is not going to win and Newt is great alternative.Romney will cause us to lose and get obama reelected, so yes I am for Gingrich.Mostly, I want to see Gingrich own obama in the debates with logic , reality, and policies that will work, versus failed left wing tactics of race baiting, class warfare, and disingenuous talk about the people, fairness, middle class, blah blah blah.

The question was highly inappropriate at all, but especially for the first question.

No this question would not be appropriate for a Democrat either.I was a kid when the Clinton thing was going on but as an adult(as I mentioned in other post) I don't think it is anyone's business what he did with his marriage etc Clinton lied and nearly lost the Presidency over it, that is the big issue. Newt did some shady things and he paid for it and believe he learned. The question was crap, regardless of who is on the stage.

Newt is no fool, and he is no wuss.

But he has more baggage than the princess in Spaceballs.

I have to agree with mookie, if someone asked that of Obama (if Obama was an adulterer) you would be cheering the question, and denouncing the rebuttal.

Newt would be great if he didn't attack Clinton so hard back in the day, for the same stuff he did all his life. Multiple times, to multiple wives.

Pot? Hi this is Kettle.

Blind Partisanship sure is fun.

Bubbles you are the sad one, again and again you show just how scewed your views are, and to make it even worse you keep going on in the same narrow ideological vein despite being a complete newcomer to the world of bull that is politics.(maybe it is your complete lack of knowledge and experience that explains that)

Fox News is the alternative......
Bloody hell

Isn't it funny that it was the "conservative" media that really went to town on its trashing of Cain, where were you then complaining about Fox then?
Where were you complaining about the republican machine and "their" media trashing McCains personal life in the primaries...oh yeah primary school wasn't it.
OK more up to date as you might have been in big school by then, look at them trashing Kerrys private life.
You really are in a bubble Bubbles.
