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.

This would never happen on CNN or affectionately known as the Clinton New Network!
