The last time he was really admired was in 1996, and I suspect now that he was probably always full of sh*t; a bright but opportuntstic guy with no set basket of principles who would sell ANYBODY down the river if he thought it would benefit himself. A Truly contemptible historical figure.
Newt is a RINO hypocrite.
I have to give Newt credit for one thing... he made Bill Clinton look like an honest, decent man.
I wasn’t a Newt supporter before this weekend, but now I actively dislike him. In my opinion, Paul Ryan is the best thing to happen to the United States in many years; his proposed budget is the only one that seriously addresses the catastrophic mess made out of our budget by both Democrats (primarily) and Republicans (secondarily).
New is not a conservative, and after his contemptible remarks this weekend, I think his chance of winning the nomination went from slight to none.
Neither do I.
I don't watch MTP. Did Newt expound on what he considers to be right-wing social engineering in Ryan's budget?
I think he’s bucking for the Democrat Party nomination.
What’s ironic is the way Democrats killed off Gingrich last time by lying about his “wither on the vine” statement in regards to Medicare.
What a dumbass.
Right wing social engineering?
If by that, he means getting government the hell out of the way and having personal responsibility as a must — then hell yes, I am ALL FOR right wing social engineering.
The MSM will now try to push this loser upon Conservatives as the Republicans best chance to beat Barry in 2012.
Newt = McCain Redux
RINO’s both
An amazing, almost instantaneous self immolation of a presidential candidate.
Anyone that thinks Ryan’s plan is “radical” is living in a dummieland alterverse.
Further, there is no “right wing” in this country. Statism is all there is. The tea party is the only opposition to Big Government, and it’s really not very concerned with anything other than money.
Newt is another disappointing example of a completely co-opted statist mole. On the order of a Meg Whitman. The Statists seek to have candidates of both parties on the ballot.
Amen. Newt is a self-centered jerk. Why I bet he would even betray his wife. Oh, wait, he has done that, twice.
Newt’s making money. That’s the only explanation. He’s creating a liberal media support system through which to sell his future books. He knows he’s not electable, so he’s going to cash out.
Once a betrayer, always a betrayer.
His ex wives can attest to that.
I’m beginning to think an MRI is in order for Newt.
He wants to define himself as special.
Never liked him.
We can’t seem to get any decent frontmen.
except Ryan, DeMint and Palin to really represent the party on what has to be done
an outlier like Cain looks decent enough but he’s not party really and very very untested
this is the GOPs biggest opportunity since 1980 and we seem to be wandering
hey newt...you should only WISH you had the intelligence, vision, crispness of youth and fresh ideas as Paul Ryan. Your days are over. Over. Same with Romney. Over.
Please GOD give us a candidate to win in 2012 like some of the fresh, young faces who can lead this country.
Love Palin but she won’t win
Love Bachman but she won’t win
Love Rubio but don’t THINK he could win
Love CAIN and know he can win!!! Needs a good, solid choice for VP and currently that would be my ticket.
Hope Trump stays in the race. He would eat the lunches of those on BOTH sides in the debates!!!
