implying it was on par with the response to Katrina. No one challenged him and it made me sick. Only after Newt's segment was over Mike Barnacle responded and pushed back against that notion, mentioning Marines on the ground and other support for people in the disaster areas. It was a shame that Newt was not on camera to have to defend his position that is clearly politically motivated and not based on FACTS.

(5,810 posts)eh? Does Newt have ANY credibility? Sadly, there are people who will hear his false narrative about the response to Sandy and repeat the claims. Let's hope that Chris Christie's words carry a bit more weight (no pun intended!) with the American people ...at least on THIS subject.

(2,391 posts)That it is doing nothing in NJ and other states now. The fact that Christie is saying just the opposite means absolutely nothing to them. They mindlessly parrot every other word out of his mouth, but his praise of FEMA does not exist for them.
They're all nuts. I'm totally disgusted.

(115,735 posts)He's just another washed-up GOPer candidate wannabe howling at the moon. Cable "news" yakkers interview him and people like him only because they've got 24 hours of air time to fill up with something. Cable news is a black hole of stupidity, especially today. Turn it off.

Gonna be a good night! I feel it in my bones. Screw Newt. We know his line and he is full of it. Ought to have brown eyes....

(10,749 posts)The last time he was elected to anything was in the last century. He was a crook then, and he's a fraud now. And interviewing him on the state of politics is like interviewing the owner of Bill's barbecue in Virginia (the one that went bankrupt) on how to run a business.

(7,904 posts)Does Newt not think at all about what he is actually saying?
"Oh look FEMA is trying but making mistakes here and there so vote for us because we promise to not even try at all."
