The headline reads "Newt Gingrich warns of 'destructive' GOP primaries".
AIPNews.com is also maintaining an archive of his most recent work HERE.
What the hell has happened to Newt? He was part of the 1994 revolution that took over congress for the first time on 40 years- and stopped Bill Clinton form doing any serious damage
Now he supports Scuzzy in NY23 who was more liberal than the democrap in the race?
Newt
1994 Contract With America
2009 Contract ON America
Personally I think the GOP has become infected with Soros money. I know Soros backed people gave both the pro and con arguments during a “debate” on drug legalization at CPAC.
There is a way to keep these “independent” conservtive candidates from stealing votes from the “moderste” official candidate, you know. If there is a primary process, get it out into the open. Let the REPUBLICAN voters choose between the conservative, and the more “moderate” candicate.
This works best with a closed primary, that is, if only registered Republcans may vote for Republican cndidates. Open primaries, especially when there is not parallel Democrat race in the primary, are not conducive to sampling the opinions of self-identified Republicans.
Depending on the temperment of the district, the more moderate candidate may in fact win. But in broad parts of “red state” America, the conservative stands a much greater than even chance of winning the approval to be placed on the ballot in the general election. And winning against the other general election candidates.
Give conservative political positions a chance. They work, because they are far more tested than some theoretical agenda that has never before been successful anywhere in the world it has been applied, and certainly much better than some whangy off-the-wall crackpot theory, which has NO basis in reality or logic.
Left aint' right no matter how far you bend it.
One must also realize that twice as many people now self-identify as Conservative than self-identify as Republican.
Also, twice as many now self-identify as Independent than self-identify as Republican.
Not only are Republican “leaders” like Gingrich unprincipled, they’re really rather stupid, to put if bluntly.
Blinded by their own egos and their lust for power and money.
How many ex-wives does he have to pay alimony too? My guess is the Saudis bought him years ago. Most ex politicians and bureaucrats work for “think tanks’ funded by the Saudis. The elections a few weeks ago were possibly the most important in U.S. history and our future. Newt and Dede made sure a Democrat won.
This helped Pelosi, Obama and Islam.
Go to he*l Newt. Newt is more despicable than Arlen
Specter. Somebody needs to tell Hannity. I repsect Dick Morris FAR more than I respect Newt.
Advice from Dr. Keyes? Excuse me, but what election has he ever won?
Newt was right. Scuzzy was against the bailouts, the Democrap health care plan and other Obama wacko ideas. She would have voted against the House bill. The new Democrat House member (the first in 100 years in this district) voted for it and it passed by a few votes including his. So, in the interest of promoting some kind of “purity” outsiders rushed into the district to support a dud of a candidate in Hoffman. Hoffman wasn’t even a resident of the district and most of his money was coming from outside.
We have an increasingly dangerous Al Queda threat which Obama is ignoring, the country is going backrupt, Obama’s Maoists are overturning the Constitution, Iran is about to roll out the bomb, and you morons are obsessed with bedroom issues.
So now we have ANOTHER faithful Democrat in the House. Thanks a lot. From now on Palin, Thompson, Pawlenty, and the rest—butt out of the local politics of people in upstate New York and anywhere else. Let local people decide who they want for candidates.
I despise people with wishy-washy positions... and those with extreme positions... and those with no positions at all... so, Republican “leaders” can do what they think best, and I’ll do what I think best: vote conservative!
Power corrupts. And he was close to absolute power.
Gosh. You’ve got Newt’s talking points down cold.
Four to five thousand American babies continue to be killed by cruel and unusual means every day in this country. And none of them are being killed in anybody's bedroom.
LOL! Newt was from PA. Is that you Newt? How is Callista? Are you out looking for wife number 6(??) - I have lost count.
Let’s assume I will accept your arguement though I do not agree but Dede crossed the line by backing the Democrat so your arguement is meaningless. When push came to shove - Newt’s girl backed the Democrat. Dede had no support in the district - look at the numbers.
Dede and Newt got Owens elected.
“Power corrupts. And he was close to absolute power.”
I’ve had more power for seven years than Newt ever had, and there is nothing at all corrupting about it, so long as you understand what public service really means.

This is a conservative website, maybe you would feel more comfortable at the Daily Kos.
And so, Cap’n Jack, you are far brighter than Lord Acton and the literally thousands of leaders worldwide who have cited that quote as a truism regarding human nature?
Here’s a quote from Steve Martin””Well, excuuuuuuuze me!”
What planet have you been getting your news from? Scuzzy was FOR THE BAILOUTS and FOR THE HEALTH CARE BILL
She would have given Obambi TWO republican votes
She left the race and ENDORSED the democrap !!
Gingrich reminds me of the Drum Major leading a parade. He made a left turn but the parade kept going on without him. Now he is scrambling to get out in front of the parade so he can “lead” again.
Dear Newt:
I realize you are willing to sell out the nation, the American people and the republican party for a crack at the presidential nomination. Supporting leftist candidates, attacking conservatives, betraying American principles—all are required to get in good with the limp-wristed, loafer wearing set which runs the party these days. But please do a great big favor for actual Americans...STFU!!!
regards,
an American patriot
Newt is a leftist and Sean has a man crush on him!
Owens will loose in 2010 a a conservative will take the office. Newt is a turd socialist RINO.
My hope and the hope of many is that Palin is a real conservative, which I think she is along with Michelle Bachman.
Palin/Bachman - 2012
You mean local people like Newt Gingrich (he lives in VA) and NRCC chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX) who backed Scozzafava?
Wow.
I just know from my own experience. Some people believe their own publicity. Others don't. Some people are in way over their heads. Others are not.
George Washington. Ronald Reagan. Do you have a problem with how they handled their power?
I don't think "power" had anything to do with what happened to Newt. I think ego and loss of perspective had everything to do with what happened to Newt.
Sad, isn't it? He's given himself over completely to a self-service. Newt wants what he wants, and when he wants it, he becomes destructive. He thinks this will get him elected. It's like we're the wife with cancer in the hospital, and he's bringing us the divorce papers to sign.
I would rather have an openly avowed democrat in place than a democrat in sheep’s (GOP)clothing.
May we hope, find and pray for people of principle and courage to take on anyone in the GOP primaries that do not have the same character they possess just by stepping forward to preserve and protect The Constitution of The United States of America.
“A nation that kills its own children is a nation without hope.”
John Paul II
"until the time comes to fulfill Khrushchev's boastful communist prediction, "We will bury you."
"Most of us believe socialism is what the socialists want us to believe it is - a share-the-wealth program. That is the theory. But is that how it works?... If one understands that socialism is not a share-the-wealth program, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of super-rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead it becomes the logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs. Communism, or more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite."
- Gary Allen, None Dare Call It Conspiracy
Power = ego
I don’t share that hope.
I have not heard a more accurate description of the current Republican Party.
I have not heard a more accurate description of the current Republican Party.
Newt is from the Old GOP, the party that felt comfortable in the minority and put collegiality above all else, including principle. The party of Nixon and Ford and Bush and that fella from Kansas, is not the party of the future. We are in a struggle for our freedom more serious the the Revolution and the Republicans need to take the lead by running real conservatives that will not only block the Democrats Marxist/socialist agenda but will set a course to disengage the federal government from all unconstitutional activity, including healthcare, retirement, education, agriculture and on and on and on. We have an enemy within that must be defeated and Republicans better get serious before we lose everything.
Republicans should start impeaching judges that fail to uphold their oath and others as well. I would suggest a flat tax on everyone, for first dollar income to last and cut spending until a tax of 6 percent would balance the budget.
