Pat is usually more coherent than this. It’s hard to make any sense of this article.

The media are going to plant Newt as the GOP candidate for 012. A sure loser.

Will we let them? Again?

Party loyalty? Newt?

He praises HIllary as the smartest woman in the world on health care.

He snuggles up to the global warming tools.

Now he’s trashing the tea party Americans.

Go away little man.

I disagree (respectfully) that Newt is irrelevant. To be sure, I am for Hoffman and I am piqued by those who give up our conservatism to pragmatism. That being said, I like to hear everything and Newt is a good thinker. I believe we (Conservatives/Republicans) will win again because we can listen yo other points of view.

He sets the premise, but goes nowhere with it. He simply asks a lot of questions.

[How Scozzafava would prevent America's being “crushed” was unexplained.]

Easy, they won't stop America from being crushed because a democrat is a democrat even if they run rino.
Newt, like many educated rinos, is over the line in many of his personal and public decisions and is a typical middle of the road atheist and therefore will do the same things George Bush did and the domestic problems would get worse.

... and the Bush economic policies that cost the party both Houses of Congress in 2006 and the White House in 2008?

WTH??? Bush economic policies did not cost the party both houses in 2006! The economy was booming!

Why did President Bush leave with 27 percent approval?

Duh, ummm, could it be that manufactured polls kept insisting his approval ratings were low?

How is electing a Republican, who is really a Democrat ,calling herself a Republican doing anything save our country.

It’s time Newt and the rest of these RINO turds woke up to the fact that Conservatives MUST vote for Conservatives.

If we lose some RINO’s in the process, so be it , they werent helping us anyway.

Even should Hoffman lose but come in 2nd, that would be a major defeat for the RINO elites. The downside, of course, would be a Democrat win in a Republican district. But that would clearly be the fault of the Republicans promoting a Democrat in all but name. They've given their base no clear choice.

What is needed, obviously and painfully, is a voters' bill of rights and the first item of such a bill HAS TO BE runoff elections or instant runoff elections for all public offices.

Nobody should ever fear to vote his first choice, at least on a first ballot, and nobody should ever hold any public office with less than 50% of the vote.

There should also be a None-Of-Above choice on all ballots for public office and if that choice ever wins, then the other candidates should be barred for life from holding any public office and the parties sponsoring them should be barred for at least ten years from sponsoring candidates for that particular office. The penalty for running dead wood for public offices should be severe.

Another item on such a voters' bill of rights should be something which would eliminate voting fraud for all time and if that means getting rid of the secret ballot or at least limiting it somehow or other, so be it, we're paying too high a price for it. Somehow or other it has to be possible to check up on votes when there are questions or evidence of fraud.

One last item on such a list would be a provision that when a president is impeached and removed, his VP goes out the door with him and the office is either vacant until the next election or an emergency election is held to fill the office for the remainder of the current term. Granted removing a president should be difficult but it should not be impossible and if we couldn't remove Slick, we'd not have been able to remove Hitler or Nero either.

What happened in 98/99 was that Trent Lott simply refused to hand the presidency over to Algor with a year to go on Slick's second term, for obvious reasons. The situation should not be possible.

It is difficult to inject BDS into every other sentence and remain coherent.

And we Conservatives can not say it soon enough and let him know NOW, that his trial baloon he let out over the weekend is nothing but hot air and he will NOT have our support.

8 Years of "Compassionate Conservatism" a RINO-filled, big-spending, go-along-to-get-along Congress as well as a weak-kneed, DemoRat-Lite RNC, is what we DON'T need and will NOT support.

NOTICE TO ALL REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS OR WHO INTEND ON SEEKING OFFICE: NO MORE RINO'S!!!

Newt just voted, it wasn’t for the founding principles of this nation, therefore, it was not a vote for liberty!!!

Without all the Newt bashing that will be apparent as this thread goes on, the battle for NY-23rd is a bellweather for a couple of reasons.

One, the conservatives are now awake and want no part of a 'moderate'.
'Moderates', such as what Newt has evolved into, are what got us into the mess we are in now.

Secondly, the conservative voices in the party are sending a message, "Pick and back the candidates who hold real conservative values or watch a lot of us choose for ourselves." Sarah, Pawlenty and a whole host of other conservatives backing Hoffman, have made that very clear.

Thirdly, 'moderation' gets us nowhere, and little respect. Newt drank the kool-aid, and is now trying to position himself as one of the 'leaders' of the party. Sarah, and others are re-defining the direction. Either the GOP, Steele, and other 'middle-of-the-road' Republicans follow, or get out of the way. Elitism in the party MUST die.

Newt the irrelevant. You used to have a set, where did they go? Never mind, we don’t care.
