Newt Gingrich said today that Mitt Romney was the reason for his poor performance in the most recent Republican presidential debate — but not the former Massachusetts governor’s rhetorical skills or command of the issues.
“You cannot debate somebody who is dishonest. You just can’t,” he said. “The people say I’m a good debater. I can’t debate somebody who won’t tell the truth.”
Gingrich said he admittedly backed down at Thursday’s debate. He went back and watched the last two debates and was not happy with either one of them.
“A couple scenes you can go back and replay, I’m staring in amazement. I know what he’s saying is untrue. And I also know that in that particular audience it would not have worked to take him head on,” Gingrich said.

If Gingrich can't debate someone who is dishonest he most surely will not be able to debate Obama. That man never tells the truth.
ReplyDeleteNewt was to speak here in Lakeland Forida but was a no show. The Ledger today stated that due to his advisors/aides not knowing the time and distance from the East Coast of Florida to Lakeland which is in the center of the State, he would not be able to make it. Have a lot of respect for Newt both as a politician and historian but to run this country he would have to increase the intelligence of his Staff Have they not heard of GPS OR Mapquest which would have provided the necessary info. Even I could have done that lol
