To quote a line from CCM..."you just can make this stuff up!" But still quite a funny article to read!
Gingrich blasts Democratic establishment at annual summit By Alexander Mooney, CNN Political Unit
Washington (CNN) -- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich repeatedly brought social conservatives to their feet Saturday with an impassioned address in which he warned that America faces a dual threat from the Democratic establishment on the one hand and Islamic terrorists on the other.
"We are at a point where our establishment is sliding into policies of such disastrous impact that they will in fact fundamentally challenge the survival of America as we know it," Gingrich said during his speech to the fifth annual Values Voter Summit in Washington.
"On the one front we have a secular socialist machine led by (President) Obama, (House Speaker Nancy) Pelosi, and (Senate Majority Leader Harry) Reid, and on the other front we have radical Islamists who would fundamentally change this country into a system none of us in this room would recognize," he continued to thunderous applause.
Gingrich, who has repeatedly acknowledged he is testing the waters in advance of a potential bid for president, largely stuck to red meat issues during his 30-minute speech before a gathering of activists who could play a crucial role in selecting the next Republican presidential candidate.
Gingrich also took aim at Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who recently sent a letter to insurance industry leaders warning them not to "falsely blame premium increases" on the recently passed health care legislation.
"If she's going to represent left-wing thought police about Obamacare, she should be forced to resign by the new Congress," he said.
Perhaps the former House Speaker's loudest applause came when he weighed in on the controversial Islamic center and mosque proposed to be built near ground zero, declaring, "We as Americans don't have to tolerate people who are supportive of violence against us, building something at the sight of the violence."
"This is not about religious liberty, they want to build that mosque in the South Bronx, frankly they need the jobs," he said. "But I am totally opposed to any effort to impose Sharia on the United States, and we should have a federal law that says under no circumstance, in any jurisdiction in the United States, will Sharia be used in any court to apply to any judgment made about American law."
Sharia is considered the sacred law of Islam as set forth by the Quran and the Islamic Prophet Muhammad.
Gingrich also laid heavy praise on the "energy" of the Tea Party movement and its newest victor, Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell in Delaware, who defeated longtime Congressman Mike Castle, considered a shoo-in before the election.
"I would beg Mike Castle to endorse Christine O'Donnell because she won fair and square in a process of representation. But let me go a step further, I am going to predict right now, Christine O'Donnell is going to win in Delaware."
And he sharply derided Republican Lisa Murkowsi, the Alaska senator who announced Friday that she would mount an independent bid after losing to a Tea Party-backed candidate last month.
"Senator Murkowsi is fundamentally cheating," he said. "If she wanted to run as an independent she should have."
Gingrich's speech comes on the second and final day of the gathering and hours before attendees will vote in a 2012 presidential straw poll -- the results of which will be one indication of which potential White House hopeful can count on support from the social conservative faction of the party that is so vital in the primary process.
Gingrich followed a string of speakers Friday who constitute a veritable "who's who" of rising Republican stars and potential 2012 presidential contenders, including Sens. Jim DeMint of South Carolina and Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, Gov. Bob McDonnell of Virginia, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana, Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, as well as O'Donnell from Delaware.

I do not see what is so horrible here. You know what is going to be funny? And you know it is coming....the November elections. The smart people vote in mid term elections. If you notice, the only reason Obama won was he was able to draw out people who normally would not vote. Now, they do not seem to care much.

Here is another Republican nut job for you.She also has her sites on the job in the near future
Following Revelation Of ‘Witchcraft’ Comment, O’Donnell Cancels Sunday Show Appearances As ThinkProgress reported, last night on his HBO show, Bill Maher aired a clip from an Oct. 29, 1999 show of Politically Incorrect, in which Republican senate candidate Christine O’Donnell revealed that she “dabbled into witchcraft.” As O’Donnell’s comments begin to attract national attention, it appears the tea party candidate is trying to avoid media scrutiny. She was schedule to appear on CBS’ Face the Nation tomorrow, but host Bob Schieffer has tweeted that O’Donnell canceled:
O’Donnell isn’t even heeding her consigliere Sarah Palin’s advice, who urged her this week to “speak through Fox News.” O’Donnell was scheduled to appear on Fox News Sunday tomorrow, but has canceled that appearance as well.
Diane Banister, whose PR firm booked the Sunday show appearances, told the AP in an email that “O’Donnell canceled so that she could attend a Republican campaign event Sunday in Delaware’s Sussex County.”

Boy the libs are really freaking out about Odonnell. I guess when you are about to get destroyed in an upcoming election the real ugly side just screams out. Waaaa Beck, Palin, Rush, Odonnell. Waaaaaa. These people get more coverage on MSNBC than they do on Fox News. That is all MSNBC seems to have to talk about.
I guess if Odonnell wanted third term abortions, gay marriage, blanket amnesty, and a larger federal bureaucracy she would get all smiles and cheers on this board, and on NBC. Why is it that when a state votes on something, it gets brought to the supreme court? Take gay marriage for example. In California the people voted against it, plain and simple. The vote was cast, the majority will took place. The minority did not like it, and so they drag it into the courts. Now, the people did not get a chance to vote on health care, but they will be this November. A majority of Americans are against Obama care...polls prove it.

First of all, Bill Maher? Bill Maher thinks Obama is not liberal enough if that tells you anything. He has a nasty personality and is really ugly on the inside. Really dark minded.
Secondly, really? They are trying to throw the kitchen sink at this woman. If that is the best they can do, it has desperation written all over it.
