Tea Party Patriot Leader: Newt Win Is Win for Tea Party
by Wynton HallIn an interview with BreitbartTV, Tea Party Patriot Leader Jenny Beth Martin said she believes Newt Gingrich’s South Carolina primary victory was a victory for the Tea Party.
Ms. Martin said that although Mr. Gingrich “is not the perfect candidate,” she believes many Tea Party members have decided to coalesce support around the former Speaker.
I think they were definitely sending a message against Mitt Romney. And I think they were saying, ‘Look, we’ve got to have somebody who can debate the president and this is who we think can do it.’ Newt is not perfect. But he’s a warrior. Look, his whole staff left him practically and he just won South Carolina.
Ms. Martin was careful to say that the Tea Party Patriot leadership has voted not to endorse any particular candidate during the primary. She did, however, state that the Tea Party is a powerful force in Florida and will play a role in the outcome of next week’s primary in that state, particularly for Mr. Gingrich who has less financial resources than Mr. Romney and will therefore need to rely on grassroots support.

Well, Mitt Romney's loss was a win for the Liberty Movement.
I'd put it that way, but hey, that is just me.
Bwahahahah…now THAT's humor!
The idea that this politician's politician will look to principle and the ideals of liberty enacted in the Declaration and Constitution is laughable.
The question for Florida voters is do you support the pundit's choice, like George Will and Karl Rove would like, or do you support the candidate that's running on your core values?
For me, I have looked at Newt's proposals and have determined that he is the best representation of where I think we need to go. That's why he has my vote.
What happens when you give an academic political power? Remember Woodrow Wilson?
….and Sarah smiles and grows STRONGER…..
Who says o-HOLE will agree to debate?
Sheesh… but I suppose Newt could debate with a fence-post, if anyone could…
.
I think there is X-rays that emanate from the camera lens. Too much exposure and it will turn you into an establishment hack.
TheTea party loses if Newt is the nominee. We will have another four years of Obama. We had better take the senate and keep the house.
It's not that he's an imperfect canditate! The mere fact that he's able to convince someone like a Tea Party organizer that he's something other than what he is (a statist; a Big Government Republican), THAT'S THE PROBLEM!
This is where the wheels fall off the movement. It is how the two party system sustains itself. The symbiotic relationship, the yin an yang of modern politics. All we need is someone to hate (Obama) and someone to deliver us from evil (any one but Obama.) And what do we get…a Republican-flavored Obama.
This woman needs to be b-slapped. She's not teaparty and neither is Newt She's a paid GOP PAC shill for the establishment… business as usual… progressive agenda as usual. SHAME ON HER.
Yeah, I'm going to love it when you are all boohooing at his policies when he takes over and acts the same way, in opposition to what he's saying.

Another fake tea party person who wouldn't even MEET with the tea party in NH. Shame on her. I used to love her but she's nothing more than a bimbo.
AMazing isn't it? These fake tea party fake leaders were 12 years old in 1990.
Oh Yeah, Mr. 30 Year politician run out of town on a rail after a sea of ethical violations who shills for Fredie Mac is the "anti-establishment" candidate. Meet the new boss… Same as the old boss….
You were put in your place earlier today. http://biggovernment.com/publius/2012/01/23/rasmu...

"I've already decided I'm leaving the GOP and will write in an honest decent person for president. And you should too. I refuse to vote for this guy…
Well Darlin', just last Friday, you were going to vote for Ron Paul, whom you proclaimed to be the Founder of the Tea Party. If I may make a suggestion, if you are looking for a write in candidate, may I suggest
Pat Paulson?
Give it a rest, Honey.
I have been saying that too.
With all that Barry has done already, what makes folks think he won't just refuse to debate?
Lamestream hip pocket pundits would just deride any attempt to say more debate is needed – and they will cite all the Republican debates that have already been held as a reason why.
……ah yes, She's back, The Paulbot zealot.
Is your tinfoil hat too tight?
Well everyone who has written Newt off as being a loser are now forced to eat a big plate of crow. Mr. Gingrich has shown us that he can win. The polls have been wrong, the pundits have been wrong, the politicians have been wrong.
If their jobs required that they be correct, these idiots would have been fired. Meanwhile, Mr. Gingrich is on his way to the nomination.
…Well, I STILL love her – as for bimbos, have you seen Debbie Wasserman-Schultz in action ?….. ; )
The TEA Party Is The Last, Best Hope For The United States of America.
Don't like it, Liberals?… Move Away. Get The Hell Out Of The United States of America.
You're right. or the toddler-in-chief will claim his schedule is too hectic, or he has to manage some crisis, or… or… or…There will be excuses galore for him to get out of debating at all, or agreeing to one, perhaps two debates, where HIS people will structure the thing to assist him to prevail.
I can see Lame Mc Flip isn't much of a debater, so far he just recites talking points, as nauseum… and I think Santorum could hold his own in a debate, although I'm not sure of the strategy the dems would take against him.
.
.
In action?
Ah……….well……..no.
Does anyone know, is there a debate on TV tonight?
CL, have you read this. It is interesting and I don't claim it is 100% accurate, but it is starting to make sense. http://theulstermanreport.com/2012/01/20/white-ho...
You can read any of the original post from the archives.
Word is DWS has her hair done at Pet Smart. Unfortunately she didn't spring for the obedience classes.
…..I see Debbie screwing the country on TV regularly…..
I just found it.
9 PM on NBC.
Now I have to chose between the debate, and Two-Point-Five-Men.
They are getting pretty comfy here. George Soros needs to re-take the citizenship test.
Now that he's fallen off his meds, Paul Pot the Quack Doc needs a good slappin' too.
EEEWWWWWW!
;-D
Against Santorum the plan is simple, make it all about abortion, attack his wife and destroy him personally as a god head who wants to get on with the third crusade.
I like Santorum wouldn't mind him as the candidate and i think he would do his best and i think his best would be pretty good as president. That's the game plan against him.
Quack! Quack! Quack! Quack!
9pm eastern it will be live streamed at nbc.
Who really likes post-coital chit-chat, anyway?
That would really be something there little girl, if it wasn't a lie.
Picked up a 16 movie set on disc. Most set in the 30's…….John Wayne B westerns. The nestmate flew off to Boston for the week so I'll be firing that up tonight.
I watched one last night, complete with 10 gallon hat and white horse.
Obama greased the way for Gingrich. It's perfect.
Newt's win is a rejection of Romney's Marxism.
"This woman needs to be slapped. She's not teaparty"
Oh gosh. Thank you SO much for defining "Tea Party" for us. On the other hand, you're a silly, silly gurl. Just because you call yourself "GadsdenGurl" doesn't mean you get to dictate to us what "Tea Party" is.
You're a fraud. Newt is genuine. And THAT is just the way that it is.
ok….that was fast…..why was my comment deleted?
Newt's a big government progressive. How his victory is a win for the Tea Party is beyond me.
I thought Romney was an eeeevil capitalist. You can't have it both ways. Either he's a robber baron like Gingrich wants to paint him or he's a Marxist. The two can't coexist.
"This weekend he will join the happy campers at Bohemian Grove, the exclusive men's club in northern California that has, over the years, offered power tents and "camp valets" to such Republicans as Mr. Kissinger, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, David Rockefeller and George Shultz. The camp is a saturnalia of juvenilia, with a lot of old white rich guys running around naked and in sheets, costumed as Druids. They drink dawn-to-dusk gin fizzes, relieve themselves on redwoods and put on theatricals where they dress up like women." NYT 1995
he can be seen here denying it. youtu.be/WpiLARg87FU
If Gingrich is at the top of the ticket the rest of the card will suffer.
I had a friend here in rural TN who had a large portrait of the Duke above his TV and two large oak stumps, one on each side. His best friend liked knives and he liked anything that exploded. (both Nam vets and they had the best toys) They would watch John Wayne movies and blast away at those stumps, how they could see the TV after a while remains to be a mystery.
Well we now know what happens when you put the village idiot in office.
We may need to change the Name of this country to the States of America. We damn sure aren't united. We used to disagree (dems & repubs) but got along, Obama has gotten us so angry were all ready for blood.
Is obama such a towering figure? He's never been confronted in the way he should be, the way Gingrich will do.
Thank you.
Eh, not too gun-ho with Newt, but I'm for anyone who isn't Romney. If it's Newt, then kick some ass, Newt.
Hollywood, Television, The MSM, The Education field, Alphabet organizations, Pro Sports, etc,…..
these are all institutions that have an enormous influence,…….
in our society.
The majority of the people, IN THE KNOW, in this country,…..
do not agree with how these institutions are,…..
shaping our country.
This is our issue and Newt,……
despised by many, is OUR candidate.
He is our candidate, despite his transgressions, because,……
he has embraced OUR issue.
Everything else, is secondary.
Has everyone forgotten the whole Scozzafava incident already? Sheesh, and I thought I had bad memory.
I don't see how any Tea Party member could support Newt Gingrich… he has shown no desire to shrink the size of gov't, and afaik, that was one of the big tenets of the Tea Party, no?
You're a vulgar little man aren't you?
This Tea Party doesn't support Newt or any of the present candidates. They all suck one way or another.
Well, I don't support Newt or any of the other candidates, including Ron Paul.
They all suck.
I may either have to sit out the general or just vote for whoever is the "R" because I'm beyond disappointed given the state of this Union.
What many "pundits" fail to realize is that South Carolina is sending a message not only amongst themselves but also to the rest of us. The People have spoken. Unmistakenly loud, unmistakenly clear. And everywhere, everyone is now paying attention.
Exactly.
I agree.
I am unimpressed with the entire slate of them, but in November, I'm going to have to get my head wrapped around voting for one of them.
I haven't forgotten that and I've remembered and/or heard some other things as well. I appreciate Newt can debate and go after the media, but we need more than that. We need someone who is actually conservative.
That's where I'm at and I'm not happy about having to hold my nose AGAIN!
Hear, hear!!
Just found this…. perhaps it will help with some perspective….

Some woman wanting attention and trying to attach herself to the Tea Party.
Absolutely ridiculous!!! Newt Gingrich is NOT a TeaParty Patriot. He's a BIG Government RINO who believes in Global Warming. Enough to sit next to Nancy Pelosi and push the leftist propaganda. He had made getting rich while in government a way of life. How can anyone with any sense think he supports the Tea Party. He says the things they want to hear but his recent history proves that his agenda is not the Tea Party agenda. The only reason Newt won in SC is because a bunch of Mormon and Catholic hating Evangelical ministers directed their flocks to vote for the least offensive (In their eyes) candidate. Newt cannot beat Obama because he is too likely to offend independents and liberals. To beat an incumbent you need to appeal to everyone and Newt simply cannot do it.
He embraces every form of liberalism while trying to pretend he opposes it. He supports Amnesty (DID vote for it under Reagan!) and more gun control. He embraces NAFTA and the NDAA. He is a member of CFR. Enough alphabet lesson for you?
You people are easily fooled, then. You are willfully ignorant or you support Amnesty, gun control, the "free trade" which has destroyed us economically, massive 3rd world immigration and demographic warfare, and Agenda 21.
Keep doing the same thing you will get the same results. Vote 3rd party. If you can't even like Ron Paul maybe you are a Democrat?
The Tea Party likes politicians who would increase the power of the Patriot Act and thinks federal thumbprint databases for gun owners is a good idea. Who knew?
Thanks for proving that the Tea Party is fast becoming just another wing of the GOP.
Uh… the GOP Establishment wants Romney. They're the mushy "status quo" clowns.
Newt is a bomb-thrower. That's why they do NOT want him. He stepped on too many big toes in the '90s.
No, hardly a Democrat. I'm an independent conservatarian. Fiscally speaking, Ron Paul fits, but he's a nut on foreign policy. The rest of them might as well be Democrats.
Ron Paul isn't a "choice" at all. He's too old AND a nutcase.
You left out the 9/11 conspiracy. (rolling eyes)
Somebody to debate Obama?
Honestly.
In an honest world, Newt Gingrich would beat teh Lightbringer senseless, with nothing left for the coyotes.
w-w-What?
Why would Catholic hating Evengelicals direct anyone to vote for a recently converted Catholic?
To beat an incumbent you need to appeal to everyone
Isn't that the big part of why we hate politicians? Reagan didn't pander to a broad spectrum. The broad spectrum was dragged to his way of thinking.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I am Catholic. Which doesn't matter.
Wow now a progressive like Newt is a tea party favorite ? It just shows how the tea party has been hijacked. At least the tea party patriots have been . Newts a Tool so i guess Jennys a fool
Yep.
Well assuming my speculation being correct (which it may not be) I would say
1) Like me they didn't know.
2) Since he was Southern Baptist previously they consider him closer to them than Santorum.
It's clear from comments here and other places Evangelicals dislike Romney mostly for his religion. My experience with Evangelicals is that they tend to dislike anyone they consider "not Christian" or "not Christian enough".
What ever the reason Newt is not someone that can be trusted. He is a big government progressive and does support various elements of the leftist agenda. He's smart and knows his history but I believe like Obama his rhetoric are just words. Words he speaks making promises he does not intend to keep.
One does not need to pander but clearly one can not deeply offend the middle or one will fail. Newt gets angry and when he does he attacks. We may not like "politicians" but politics is simply a fact of life. You can not alienate a large portion of the country such as Obama has done.
Mitt's loss is a win for Obama.
If the tea party is for Newt, count me out of the tea party.
No, but I left out the wars meant to redistribute wealth from the West to the East (also the goal of "Free Trade.")
Foreign policy is Ron Paul's strongest stance. His domestic policy that is weak on immigration and the economic war our government actively participates in against us – AKA "Free Trade." He has the only sane foreign policy – the others are playing the exact same game that destroyed the Soviet Union. You would think the involvement in the same country would tip you off.

This article.
Tea Party.
Supporting big-government Newt.
Ron Paul may be right to get us out of Afghanistan (we're already out of Iraq). I believe in a "go in, kick ass and leave" method, with a warning that if you mess with us again, we come back and kick your ass again.
Ron Paul is someone who thinks we can make friends with our enemies – same idea that the Left has. That's suicide.
We are doomed if Gingrich and Romney are the best we can present.
Newt can't win because he won't be on every states ballot, only two candidates are going to be in every states ballot, Ron Paul, and Mitt Romney.
Exactly right, people actually believe you can vote for a republican and he will oppose democrats, they all work together, its a big scam that they are opposed.
Only two candidates are going to be on every states ballot, therefore they are actually the only two with a chance of winning, unless for some odd reason they both dropped out of the race.
Those two candidates are Mitt Romney, who support bigger government. Ron Paul, who supports reducing the size and scope of the government.
Only two candidates are on the ballot of every state, thats Ron Paul, and Mitt Romney, unless they both drop out, one of them must win the nomination, because they really are the only two that are on every states ballot.
Only two candidates will be on every states ballot, Ron Paul, and Mitt Romney, they are the only two that can possibly win unless they both drop out.
Only two candidates will be on the ballot of every state, they are Ron Paul, and Mitt Romney, its impossible for anybody else to win the republican nomination unless both of those candidates drop out.
We aren't out of Iraq – not by a long shot. Want to wager? I will bet your life's savings against mine that US tax dollars are spent on Iraq, still. So long as that is the case we are involved.
I believe in a "go in, kick ass and leave" method, with a warning that if you mess with us again, we come back and kick your ass again.
Do you treat your neighbors that way? What if they treated you that way? Can you hear yourself?
Ron Paul is someone who thinks we can make friends with our enemies
Enemies? What enemies? Who gets to tell you what "our" enemies are? Whoever it is is controlling you. Ever stop and think about that? We've had some boogeyman enemy for the better part of a century now – and that is what has grown government (the one telling you about this supposed enemy – the one profiting from it.) The same government that tells you Whites are the problem in the US. The same government that I would be hard pressed to find examples where they spoke the truth about ANYTHING. From Gulf of Tonkin, to NAFTA, to Jessica Lynch, to Waco, the list goes on and on. This government consistently lies as a matter of standard procedure. They said some shepherds on the other side of the world was a threat to you and you believed them? But ONLY way they could attack us, really, was via immigration. So have they locked down immigration? No. See, it doesn't add up.
Exactly Newt is for Big Government, anyways only two candidates will be on every states ballot, thats Ron Paul, or Mitt Romney, so one of them must win, I hope its Ron Paul because he is the only one that wants to reduce the size and scope of the government.
Only two candidates will be on every states ballot, and they are the only two that can possibly when, Ron Paul, and Mitt Romney, and hopefully Ron Paul wins because he is the only candidate that wants to reduce the size and budget of the federal government.
I should get the hell out because I disagree with you? Oh. How American of you.
Wow. Calling Obama a Marxist is off-the-rails enough, but applying the label to Mitt Romney?… Actually, go ahead. Do it. The more you abuse words you clearly don't understand, the more meaningless they become.
Hoffman lost after Scozzafava threw her support to the Democrat and Hoffman embarrassed himself before the local newpaper endorsement panels when he couldn't answer questions about local economic issues. Newt knows a Scozzafava who votes with the party 70% of the time is better than a so called moderate Democrat who crosses party lines 7% of the time.
what the hell will that do, obama big on going around congress. Executive orders, czars, appointees here and there, non elected persons to regulate and implement. Congress is only for show nowadays
