Sorry for the double post.
And here's Newt, using that same time-tested LOSER of a formula, "We're better than the worst."
If I happen to wish Newt "Good luck with that," it's sarcasm. I hope Scozzafava and her supporters LOSE, and I'll say that Newt's support of this loser has further tarnished his image in my mind, as well. A two-fer!

Newt is such an idiot. Why does Hannity have him on his show. Go away Newt you RINO and serial divorcee.
Newt, if Scozzafava is a signal member of a “new Republican Revolution”, you can count me out.
Then, and only then, we can have a debate about who/what compromises can be made.
Newt is usually smarter than this.
He’s made the point HIMSELF that the GOP has to put forth the right candidates or we will lose the support of the base.
I’m surprised he didnt cut his losses already and realize he’s backed the wrong RINO.
Hey Newt:
‘If you won’t represent our views.
Don’t claim to speak for us!’
“The Democrat is running to the RIGHT of Scozzafava.”
Not really, they are both liberals. The Democrat is a lock-step vote for everything Pelosi and Obama want.
Skuzzyfavor is a vote for making all these bills ‘bipartisan’ liberal cr*p.
The only conservative in the race, the only candidate worth supporting, is Doug Hoffman.
To me, if it’s only a few issues they’re left or moderate...I’m okay. I just don’t want them to have a big mouthpiece in the party. There’s a limit to how to the left they can be, though.
If the Republican party no longer stands for conservatism, then I will become and Independent and contribute and campaign for candidates that are Conservative. Not one dime of mine goes to support a RINO ever again.
Don't get the fillet mignon, because this hot dog is much better than a pile of garbage.
I believe that Newt is on our side, but he's off base on this.
“I have supported Gingrich up and down these threads as the perfect man to be the Republican national Committee Chairman and I have even defended him as presidential timber. But this misstep reveals the Gingrich has slipped away from an understanding of what is happening on the ground in America.”
Our thoughts align completely:
1. Gingrich has in the past had a good understanding of what’s going on. I too suggested him last November for RNC chair.
2. This is a big blunder by him.
3. His thinking is ‘logical’ in that he imagine’s ‘the primary’s over’ ... what he misses is that the selection process was NOT a primary and in any case MADE THE WRONG CHOICE. Thus he makes points that are irrelevent to the real question. The RIGHT question was/is - Does Dede unify the GOP and represent our ideals, our message, and our platform in a way that can win majorities? SINCE SHE IS NOW 3RD IN THE POLLS THE CLEAR ANSWER IS “NO” AND GINGRICH IS THEREFORE FOOLISH TRYING TO FLOG A DEAD HORSE.
The GOP base has moved on from sheep-like following. They will not vote for unacceptable ‘lesser of two evil’ candidates. The real calculus for conservative is this:
- IF THE DEMOCRAT WINS NOW, WE CAN FLIP IT BACK IN 12 MONTHS AND GET A GOOD CONSERVATIVE
- IF DEDE WINS, WE HAVE A PROABORT PROGAYMARRIAGE PRO-CHECKCARD RINO THERE FOR A LONG TIME, who will get union and planned parenthood money to keep a conservative district from being represented by a conservative
If a coterie of County GOP nabobs made their choice, they may have to live with it, but voters dont.
“This battle has escalated to be about control of the soul of the Republican Party. If the Republican elites continue to govern the party against the interests of the yeomanry in the middle of the country, the party will splinter asunder and the Democrats will triumph.”
I dont think the party will splinter. I think the RINOs will get their heads handed to them. In effect, the conservatives have already “won” the battle here .. Dede WILL NOT be the next Congress-critter. WHICH MEANS THE CHOICE WAS A BAD CHOICE. ERGO, THEY SHOULD HAVE PICKED A CONSERVATIVE. QED.
YOu know he could have both on the show at the same time and do a twofer.
They want us to help them stop Obama so they can then implement cap and trade, reform healthcare, and lose in Afghanistan. Wait...
Agreed that he is on our side but he has seriously lost his way. I don't understand it.
Newt wants to run for President and thus wants the endorsements of the party chairs who suppored Dede.
Isn’t that a bit drastic? I am opposed to political correctness no matter which side employs it.
“They want us to help them stop Obama so they can then implement cap and trade, reform healthcare, and lose in Afghanistan. Wait...”
And amnesty, don’t forget Amnesty...Gingrich is a big part of the GOP Squatter Support Squad. He banded with the biggest open borders bunch around and penned a letter to the WSJ several years ago supporting Bush’s AMNESTY. And Huckabee...he accused those of us who don’t want amnesty of being racist.
