Yesterday, the Daily Caller reported that a liberal group which owns NewtGingrich.com is trying to sell the domain for $1 million or to the highest bidder.
If anyone aside from Newt Gingrich’s campaign is interested, they’d be wise not spend any money on that domain, as virtually the same thing happened to Hillary Clinton back in 2005.
[…] Mrs. Clinton’s staff wrested hillaryclinton.com from an Italian woman who had registered it in October 2001. An arbitrator at the United Nations agency ruled that Mrs. Clinton had a common law right to the trademark of her own name because of her public activities, even though she had never filed for a trademark. The arbitrator also found that the woman had registered the domain in bad faith with the intent to use Mrs. Clinton’s fame to direct traffic to unrelated matters.
With this precedent, Newt Gingrich’s campaign clearly has the right to the domain, and any group that attempts to buy it will likely find that they’ve wasted a lot of money.

“Because the Only Good Progressive is a Failed Progressive”
Oh nonononono…according to the major pain, any restraint on any action is an infringement of Freedom and Liberty due to the OPINION of someone else.
(Still haven’t figured out how beloved Lefty regulations are anything BUT opinions of some, codified into law, but then that would involve trying to graft reason onto a Lefty talking point…)
Allow me. Laws are enforceable opinions. Mr. Gingrich does not own that domain name although he an opportunity to purchase it. He cannot seize it. His name is not trademarked and I doubt he can afford either the outright purchase or a protracted legal battle. At least Ms.Palin trademarked her name.

And once again we get a reply from a typically humor-deficient Lefty.
mitch, take a look at the major pain’s post where she appears to be saying that making abortion illegal would just be imposing an OPINION on others.
sheesh, you guys are sour.
I withdraw this proposal. Too many John Smiths.

Newt’s gonna take Obama to the cleaners come debate time.
Newt won’t be the nominee.
Newt! Newt! Newt!!! Let’s GOOOOO Newt!!!
Interesting that you support a serial adulterer and a man who gained wealth at the tax payers expense from the likes of Freddie Mac. And I thought you really did have ethical standards and believed moral behavior was important. What does the Bible have to say about such behavior Jeremiah? I guess as long as it is a Republican who lacks moral and ethical standards you have no problem with him being elected as President of the United States and the leader of the Republican Party. Nothing new with that kind of thinking from the far right.

Yeah, Velma, you just keep trying to shove Newt into that slimy, sleazy, mindset that is your own, without the slightest knowledge of the reality of the situations.
By the way, given your refusal to believe in redemption and salvation, you can stop with your pious posturing about Christianity, as you clearly don’t have a clue about the teachings of penance for sins and the cleansing of acceptance of Christ. I suppose you think Paul should never have been allowed to be close to Jesus, or that Peter should not have been forgiven for denying Christ. You seem to think that even if Christ has forgiven him, what really matters is what some pudgy bigot in Tulsa thinks.
The comments from James on this thread are hilarious – he has his panties in a bunch over the GOP caving on the arrangement of the deck chairs on the titanic. The issue at hand was a 12 month extension (GOP supported) or a 60 day extension (Dem supported), with the caveat of the keystone pipeline in the GOP bill. So in reality, the Dems killed jobs and delayed access to domestic energy supplies in their haste to get out of town. The media and the President demonized anyone who opposed this, and the GOP caved.
Now James, do you care to comment on what actually happened?
wrong thread – doh!
Wrong thread, maybe.
Right idea and good post–definitely.
too much coffee…. LOL
Cluster, I suggest that your comment So in reality, the Dems killed jobs and delayed access to domestic energy supplies in their haste to get out of town.. overlooks the ideological and political component of the Dem vote, which is pandering to the eco-Nazi opposition to the pipeline.
This component is multi-tiered but is essentially based on the desire to control all who live here by severely limiting our access to energy, which would have the two-fold effect of undermining the economy and shoving more people into dependency on the government (thereby expanding the Leftist voter base) and forcing the Left-desired model of civilization which includes getting rid of the internal combustion engine.
The more the Right forces the issue, pushes for increased job creation (outside of government, that is) and plentiful energy sources, the more the Left will push back, as Leftist control is always based on coercion of some kind, whether economic or at the end of a gun.
The Dems would have hated seeing the GOP steal their thunder by promoting the same program they have been pushing—the extension of the FICA contribution reduction—but they would have done it, understanding the political fallout of fighting it. But once the GOP plan included the poison pill (to the Dems) of increased energy production coupled with expansion of the private sector job market, they had to object, and count on their propaganda machine to cover up the reality and create a new one via changing perceptions of what really happened.
And they definitely received the cover they needed from the media, however, considering the level of intelligence amongst liberals (ie: think James), and unfortunately too many other Americans, it didn’t take much to dupe them.
What the GOP should have done is promote the keystone project as a “shovel ready” job. The dems support shovel ready jobs right? Even though I don’t think they even know what that means.
In case you missed it Amazona woman, the Republicans lost this one. Pandering to the eco-Nazi opposition? You are pathetic. If this pipeline was going across your property you might have a different view. Lets just face it, Republicans do not care about this planet or leaving it in tact for our children or grandchildren if they can make a buck off it. That is what this is really all about. Greed. And you are right there with them – since you have no children or grandchildren, what do you care if they have clean air and water as long as you have the opportunity to enrich yourself? After all, it must say somewhere in the Bible – man shall deplete the earth of all it’s treasures for the Republicans to gain wealth. I am sure it does.
Sunny,
Do you have any idea how many miles of pipeline already exist in the USA with almost zero incidence rates? And do you also know how many union jobs this project would create? Why do you hate union jobs?
You are pathetic. If this pipeline was going across your property you might have a different view.
You ignorant cretin! Given that there are 168,000 miles of oil pipeline criss-crossing the U.S. (enough to circle the globe nearly 7 times), there’s an excellent chance that Amazona does have one or more crossing her property. And the ecological impact of this pipeline has been vetted every which way from Sunday.
The rest of your post is just too delusional to even comment on. You need to get a grip, lady.
scummy
into the egg nog already?
You need to get a grip, lady.
NOWHERE near ME….LOL
Good call….she seems to like (yearn for?) biting and as for any stick she might be carrying, well, we don’t even WANT to know where THAT’S been!
Off Topic – but to delusional not to post
Barbara Walters, ABC News: “Mrs. Obama, you’ve recently said something that I thought was very interesting for other women to hear. You said ‘you put your own self highest on your priority list.’ That sounds selfish?”
Michelle Obama: “No, no, it’s practical. It’s something that I found I needed to do for quite some time, even before the presidency. And I found it other women, in similar situated balancing career family, trying to do it all and a lot of times we just slip pretty low on our own priority list because we’re so busy caring for everyone else. And one of the things that I want to model for my girls is investing in themselves as much as they invest in others.”
I just hope that that 5 star vacation in Spain with her girlfriends gave her the downtime she needed, what with her demanding career and all. How many jumping jacks did she do the other day?
yeah
$350,000.00 DO NOTHING political jobs and revocation of her law license would wear any one out
Paaaarty and VA C A-T-I-O-N
how do you say G griftor?
You are so petty. The Obama’s paid for the vacation to Spain. Other first ladies have taken vacations without their husbands with nary a word from you or anyone else here. But Mrs. Obama is not entitled to the same privileges as other first ladies. Why is that, Mr. petty? You just need to get over it.
Nice loss by the Republicans over the tax extension. Makes Christmas even better!
Social security is an insurance deduction, not a tax. And the GOP wanted to extend it for a year, the Dems only wanted 60 days. You’re ignorance on these two facts are duly noted.
This is from CBS – not exactly a conservative outlet:

Yeah, fighting for a year-long cut and having to settle for the Dems’ measly 2-month cut is such a defeat.
Let’s see how it plays during the election cycle before you get too giddy about your “triumph”.
I have a feeling that what the GOP did to the Dems is most accurately portrayed by the saying “Oh please PLEASE PLEASE don’t throw me in that briar patch!”
This will go over illiterate Velma’s pointy little head. “in tact”? Too funny, nearly as good as “indite”. But those who read will get it.
Let’s see how giddy liberals are about their “victory”, when in just 60 short days we have this battle again, and the GOP remind voters that this is all due to democrats laziness and desire to just kick the can down the street. Speaking of that, has Harry Reid put together a budget yet? .
Off Topic – but another great example of the completely disingenuous President:
From yesterdays interview with Barbara Walters:
The thing actually that I most dislike is cruelty. I can’t stand cruel people. And if I see people doing something mean to somebody else, just to make themselves feel important it really gets me mad. – Obama
From April’s budget battle courtesy of The Hill:
Obama singled out Ryan for criticism last week during a closed-door fundraiser, audio of which was captured by CBS News.
“This is the same guy that voted for two wars that were unpaid for, voted for the Bush tax cuts that were unpaid for, voted for the prescription drug bill that cost as much as my healthcare bill — but wasn’t paid for,” Obama said. “So it’s not on the level.”
Obama has at times sought to elevate opposition figures as a political punching bag, with mixed results. He and Democrats went after John Boehner (R-Ohio), then the minority leader in the House, in September before the 2010 elections, but the attacks appeared to make no difference. The president pivoted in October of 2010 to attack the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other outside campaign groups spending on behalf of Republicans.
And from last year’s mid terms:
“If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,’ if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s gonna be harder and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2.”
Right. I’ve always been fascinated by a president who is so shameless about revealing his true feelings about large portions of the American public, going so far as to call them “enemies” and having his minions call them things like “domestic terrorists”.
what else would you expect from a racist marxist muslim?
Another sign of the Gingrich campaign’s stupidity. This domain should have been bought up by the campaign months ago. Newt is about as incompetent a candidate I have ever seen. He just failed to get on the ballot in Virginia which has very simple requirements. How simple? Put it this way, Dennis Kucinich made it last time…..
So,’ kurt’ why do you care? Don’t you have anything better to do with your life than spew hatred and hostility? If Newt is as bad as you seem so determined to point out then he won’t win and you can rejoice, as you seem to be such a sour and surly individual that nothing but another’s failure can make you happy.
Why do you have to wallow in your spite? You can just sit back and celebrate with glee when he loses, like the carrion eater you appear to be.
