    Gingrich: Couldn't vote for Ron Paul for president

    DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich says he couldn't vote for rival Ron Paul if he were to become the GOP's presidential nominee.

    Gingrich sharply criticized Paul in an interview with CNN for what he said were "racist, anti-Semitic" comments in newsletters that carried Paul's name in the 1990s. Paul says he didn't write the newsletters or even read them.

    Gingrich says there will come a morning when people won't take Paul as a serious person. The former House speaker also calls Paul's total record, one of, in his words, "systemic avoidance of reality."

    But Gingrich also said voting for the Texas congressman won't be an issue because he won't win the Republican nomination.

    Paul has been running anti-Gingrich TV ads in Iowa ahead of the state's caucuses next week.

      HEY NEWT, The only reason Dr. Ron Paul might not get nominated and I said (MIGHT) is. #1 most people believe that are goverment is doing the right thing for the people. #2 there are people that are fed up and won"t vote thinking that their vote won"t change things. #3 some people don"t know what the CONSTITUTION says or if they read it don"t understand it #4 people don"t vote for the right Person they always vote for the lesser of the two EVILS (Republicans or Democrat). If Dr. Paul does"nt get nominated or beat Obama I guess there is some truth in what the Mayans predicted. "AND GOD BLESS US ALL

      Newt also can't tie his own shoes
    • jack whte  •  5 mths ago
      i bet Ron Paul feels the same about Newt
      • Paul 5 mths ago
        If Ron Paul does not win the government will be overthrown

        So if Ron Paul wins the nomination Gingrich is flip flopping once more and voting democrat. That says more about Gingrich than it does about Ron Paul
      • JD 4 mths ago
        I bet most of Paul's supporters feel the same too. I know I won't vote for Gingrich even if he gets the nomination.

      This coming from a man whose political relevancy ended in the early nineties.

        Shows how much you pay attention. This man has been holding town hall type meetings for years getting to the root of what it is that Americans want--both Democrat and Republican. There has to be some middle ground on issues and he has been able to build consensus amongst the two and showed that he can lead by balancing our budget. You sire appear to be a sound bite news follower. There's more to the news than the headlines you run your world based upon.
    • Bad Timing  •  5 mths ago
      No Newt.You couldn't vote for him because he'd screw up you lobbying business.Tell the truth for once.
      • CM 4 mths ago
        how do you think Ron Paul could mess ANYONE'S lobbying up? Please post on the juvenile #$%$

      I am still wondering why Republicans are seriously considering Newt? Isn't there something wierd about someone who wants to eliminate, in his words, "the truly stupid child labor laws?" So - to how many lunatic fringes of the political spectrum are the Republicans planning to boldly go this year?
      • Paul 5 mths ago
        the only people who are considering gingrich are greedy stockbrokers, politicians, and jewish republicans, ....the rest are with Paul
      • Dr. VooDoo 4 mths ago
        Not necessarily a Gingrich fan but some of the laws such as kids cannot deliver newspapers are lunatic.
      • CM 4 mths ago
        Mr. Paul I am a regular old middle class person tired of the status quo. Newt is the ONLY one who has actual ideas in this campaign and is clearing the only viable candidate.
    • Ross  •  Bend, Oregon  •  5 mths ago
      Gingrich is irrelevant.
      • glenn 5 mths ago
        ...and Ron Paul is a figment of someone's imagination.
        Paul has no chance of becoming POTUS unless there is an armed insurrection that puts him there.
      • Ross 5 mths ago
        with Obama's ratings, my yellow lab would be able to beat him. Ron Paul is a frontrunner for a reason, America has decided to start paying attention rather than taking the media's word for it.
    • Richard S  •  Oklahoma City, Oklahoma  •  5 mths ago
      Ron Paul says thank you to Newt. The last thing he wants is a #$%$ cheater endorsing him.
    • Joe  •  Waco, Texas  •  5 mths ago
      If the media promotes someone it's a wise decision to vote for the other guy!

      Eighty-four ethics charges were filed against Speaker Gingrich during his term. After extensive investigation and negotiation by the House Ethics Committee, Gingrich was sanctioned $300,000 by a 395-28 House vote. It was the first time in history a speaker was disciplined for ethical wrongdoing. Meanwhile, Ron Paul has a flawless constitutional voting record. He's only been married to one woman. He served with distinction in our military. It's pretty clear why America is voting for Ron Paul.
    • josh  •  San Antonio, Texas  •  5 mths ago
      Is it just me or is the ultimate compliment Newt can give Ron Paul? If I was RP I would thank him.
    • Dallas and Rocio  •  Balcones De Loma Linda, Mexico  •  5 mths ago
      If Gingrich isnt going to vote for him, isnt that a form of an endorsement?lol
    • Eric  •  Houston, Texas  •  5 mths ago
      Does anybody care what Newt thinks?
    • Ripple2803  •  Arlington, Virginia  •  5 mths ago
      So he'd vote for Obama over Ron Paul? Guess we know where he really stands
    • Jeff D  •  Medford, Oregon  •  5 mths ago
      Thats ok, most Ron Paul people wouldnt shake newts hand, let alone vote for him.
    • DanC  •  Tularosa, New Mexico  •  5 mths ago
      I guess he sees the writing on the wall.....he will not be the GOP pick, so, go out screaming and kicking like a little girl.
    • 2 Party System is BROKEN  •  5 mths ago

    • maggie  •  5 mths ago

    • Frank  •  Aurora, Oregon  •  5 mths ago
      Newt ,CNN ,Fox news will say anything to keep people from listening to Ron Paul . This nation is doomed by bad media .
