Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is denouncing Republican attempts to link President-elect Barack Obama and disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.

[F15Eagle]

Ah Newt, just when we thought you might have regained some guts ...

[kbennkc]

Has Newt gone totally Maverick ?

[stockpirate]

Shut up Dah-Newt.

I was wonderimg how low before he joined the pro-Obama choir.

Carl Rove on Fox, all conservative talk show hosts silent on COLB, now Newt.

[Canedawg]

Wow.

did soros get to him, too?

[Aggie Mama]

The political class continues to circle the wagons to protect their own.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The old Republican establishment appears to have lost its mind. I guess I’ll just start referring to myself as a conservative and drop all the Republican BS. My party left me. I’m not going to act like a DemocRAT and call myself a Republican. That’s just dumb.

[anniegetyourgun]

I can only assume that Newt wants to “do business” with folks in the new administration.

[LibLieSlayer]

I throw my shoes at newt’s lima bean head.

What was that Rush said about "Washingtonians?"

[F15Eagle]

"These are not the droids you're looking for. All pigs are created equal but some pigs are more equal than others. Damien, you're a very special boy"

[DB]

Let’s see, they both crawled out of the same Chicago cesspool, with the help of the other, but there’s no connection between them...

Where’s my stupid cap...

[Salvation]

Has McCain said anything?

[OKSooner]

Hey, Newt:

STFU.

[veritas2002]

I know this for a fact...Newt Gingrich is actually dead. I saw his obit. He died just about the same time that the Republicans lost control of the House. So these must be made-up’ stories. Really...his body is already cold and corrupted.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

This is exactly what Rush was talking about. WASHINGTONIANS. Republicans want to be adored by the MSM and maintain standing in the D.C. cocktail circuit. They want press adulation.

Libertarian & Constitution parties - UNITE!

[rabscuttle385]

Yes. He also attacked the Republicans.

[Soul Seeker]

I’ll be happy when conservaives give up any idea Newt is “one of us”. Whatever he was in past, he left behind him. It’s nostalgia at best. He deserves to be treated with the same contempt given to John McCain.

[pointsal]

Newt.....the failure of good brain cells.....

Let’s face it....The O-boy has problems.... piling-on is an old fraternity sport.....

[roses of sharon]

Does Newt have a job?

[Bratch]

JMO, but the "Republican establishment" has always been more comfortable being the Loyal Opposition to the majority party.

[JCG]

Newt, your meds are on the top shelf of the medicine cabinet all the way to the right. Please get back on them immediately

Great because you did it!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Great point. You’re right!

[TonyStark]

Libertarian & Constitution parties - UNITE!

Affirmative on that.

[pissant]

Damn. The GOP needs a vinegar and Clorox enema to clean out the tube worms like Newt stuck in its bowels.

[x_plus_one]

He deserves to be treated with the same contempt given to John McCain.

These holier-than-thou Grandees of the Republican Political Class need to be exorcised.

[niteowl77]

It might be helpful for conservatives to print this thread out and look at it the next time Newt’s name comes up for a leadership position in ANYTHING. He is less trustworthy than John McCain, and after seeing the latter’s efforts during the election, that is no mean feat.

[razorback-bert]

Is there anyone on our side?

[reasonisfaith]

“I’ll be happy when conservaives give up any idea Newt is “one of us”. Whatever he was in past, he left behind him. It’s nostalgia at best. He deserves to be treated with the same contempt given to John McCain.”

Well stated.

[kittykat77]

The old Republican establishment appears to have lost its mind. I guess I’ll just start referring to myself as a conservative....

Best chuckle I had today. You're right: Most political labels are pretty useless these days. Better just to say what you are for and what you are against. I'm thinking of getting my list laminated and passing it around at family gatherings and social events. It's the "speed dating" version of political small talk.

[IMissPresidentReagan]

Maybe Newt has his own similar pay for play connections he doesn’t want exposed ... still remembering the sting of being so vocal against the Clintons to have his own affair revealed...

[saganite]

Newt is on the same page as Barry with regard to global warming. Does that answer your question?

[ought-six]

Hey, Newt! You don’t know squat about Chicago politics. Come here and seee it first hand.

[Born In America]

And he said there was nothing to his we commercial sitting on the couch with the Bolshevik B!tch. Guess Newt means less what he says and more what he does....

[ought-six]

“I guess I’ll just start referring to myself as a conservative and drop all the Republican BS. My party left me.”

I’m with you there, friend.

[FlingWingFlyer]

That’s list idea is outstanding. I’ll probably do the same thing.

[Moonman62]

I got tired of hearing from Newt a few years ago. He should retire quietly, and let new talent take charge of the GOP.

[TonyStark]

Rush nailed these scumbag "Washingtonians". Just *nailed* them. They are traitors with more subtlety that the Coup. They are Vichy. They say they are on our side, wait for a weakness, then betray us.

[kittymyrib]

Shut up, Newt. You are such a has-been, and we have moved on.
You and Chuckie Schumer will do anything to get your faces on TV. That is not a compliment.

[reefdiver]

F Newt, Lots of jabber, some good ideas. The Bastard jammed it up our as$ when we counted on Him.
C Sucker left us all 4 dead,
F U Newt. Go Away.
U r No Conservative leader

[NRA2BFree]

It would help if he kept up with the news. The feds are taking a look at Obama's activity in this investigation.

He would like everyone to believe he's a conservative, but he's not. He's a RINO just like the rest of the CFR traitors in the GOP are. We can thank them for most of the American jobs that went overseas, and south of the border. I'm really glad he's out of politics. Let's hope he stays out!!

[LS]

Another reason this guy cannot be our leader. It is so reminiscent of his global warming comments. Be nice. Get along. Don’t ruffle feathers.

[Fred]

For those who wanted Newt for RNC chair, take a real close look at Newt’s position on this. Not exactly hardball.

[TonyStark]

"In a time when America is facing real challenges, Republicans should be working to help the incoming President succeed in meeting them, regardless of his Party."

I don't have an incoming President. I am in occupied territory about to be overrun by a coup's treasonous horde, and Newt is a Vichy, *ss kissing traitor. F him and all "Republicans" that align with his methods and motivations.

[AuntB]

Ah, there's the Newt I detest.....he just can't keep his ‘squishy middle’ idealogy silent.

[Texas_shutterbug]

The O passes their test because he's also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Me? I'm a disgrunted, disillusioned conservative. We are basically a one-party system now, with only fringe differences. Frankly, I'm not any more scared of Obama than I am of the republicans. They're all hell bent on destroying this country.

[LS]

Republicans should be working to expose the differences between their ideas of free markets and limited government from the incoming President so as to sooner succeed in rescuing the nation.

[Bunkasaurus]

“Is there anyone on our side?”

Sure. Possibly as many as 10% of the electorate is to the right of Newt Gingrich.

[F15Eagle]

I’ve never been a big fan of Newt. When he made a speech on islam I had some hope. He should have said wait until all the facts are in.

That’s assuming he wants to hear how deep in the Chicago machine Barry was after 10 years.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/08/08/gingrich/index.html#cnnSTCVideo

[F15Eagle]

True. I just have my doubts that O spent 10 years in the dirty Chicago machine without “playing the game”.
