Newt Gingrich Endorses Ultra Leftist Candidate

Newt RINO

Beware Rinos, Says Sarah Palin

GOP Comes Unglued in New York

by

thelastcrusade.org

“If you want to have a conservative majority in Washington, part of that majority's going to make you uncomfortable."

So says former House Speaker Newt Gingrich defending his decision to endorse an ultra liberal Republican candidate in the special election for New York's 23rd Congressional District even though she is a Margaret Sanger Award winner, who supports same-sex marriage, abortion-on-demand, and the Obama stimulus programs.

Republican candidate DeDe Scozzafava has received not only the backing of Planned Parenthood and The Daily Kos, but her campaign has also received financial endorsements from Mr. Gingrich, the Republican National Committee, and Republican leaders such as House Minority Leader John Boehner, and House Minority Whip Eric Cantor.

A dozen more GOP members, who are serving in Congress, shelled out thousands in cash to ensure her election.

Mr. Gingrich recently said that the election of Ms. Scozzafava could be the start of a "new Republican Revolution" that mirrors the "1994 Republican Revolution."

Newt used to be a Conservative, way too long in DC and he has forgotten his roots and beliefs.
Where is the old Fighter and Guerrilla Warrior that came up with the Contract with America? Long gone I guess.

True, but his "Contract with America" was genius and helped make that last opportunity.

Total irrelevance

Newt is at a book signing at the Books-a-Million in downtown McLean, Virginia this afternoon. The tea partiers mounted a cordial yet firm sign waving effort in the parking lot to let him know they don’t like the position he’s taken on this New York seat.

And one of these bozos is Eric Cantor, a Virginia self-described “conservative.” If he’s a conservative, the woods are full of them.

“Republican Revolution”? You mean “Republicans” like Snowe, Collins, Graham, McCocaine, Christ, etc,,,

NO THANKS! Now, go back to your obscure little universe Newt, and shut your mouth, while we do the real work of taking this country back.

We currently have a majority of this type in Congress.

We don't need more.

I really don't know what happened to Newt. He used to be brilliant.

Time to stop calling `Democratic-Lite’ candidates: “RINOs.”
They are Republicans, in name and deed.
As in: “Not Conservatives” or RNCS.
Period.
A pox on both their lefty houses!

Newt Gingrich also stood with Al Sharpton the little party hack that got away with a crime because it would be politically incorrect to call him out. Newt Gingrich has made another mistake in endorsing DeDe Scozzafava, another less than forthright politician. Being sick and tired of the Gingrich and Sharpton politicians who have no spine, do nothing and stand for nothing.....No To That sort.

Actually it is a good thing that we see how un-conservative Newt is. Sarah Palin is not going to endorse anyone who cannot live by Conservative Principals nor is Michelle Bachmann - there you have two real Conservatives who are not afraid to be Conservative. Two voices who will help bring back the United States Constitution. There's the door Newt............

I never liked the little leper-con. Pushing his wife for a divorce while she was in the hospital recovering from cancer surgery. Dead-beat dad.....

Can’t vouch for the truth at this site, but have heard it for years so there must be some truth to the stories.

It’s all about power. Gingrich can only relate to the power of Speaker. He isn’t a political animal... he has been corrupted by power. He wants his Republican friends in the seat of power over the House,,, ideology and conservatism do not compute with him.

You know these politicians NEVER retire from the tv cameras.
They love to see themselves spouting the latest goings-on which is usually in line with whatever is being talked about at DC cocktail parties and bars.

Yes, he sat on a couch all cozy with Nancy Polutesie and was so seriously discussing the “globull” warming problem! That did it for me as far as Newt is concerned!

The worst of the Willard man-crushes has to be Hugh Hewitt. I used to enjoy listening to his shows, until he started using his show as a platform for Romney.
