It's a little old, but I thought Newt's explanation should be posted.

It's not the “being part of the debate” that bothers me...it's being on the same side “in the debate” as the Marxists that does......

Gingrich Explains Why He Did Global Warming Ad With Pelosi

This ad is the reason Gingrich should never run for President. He is not true to Conservative values. I won't vote for him.

“Green Conservatism”

[Andy from Beaverton]

Gingrich: Our sun controls the climate, not humans watch!

[Citizen Tom Paine]

Why don’t the conservatives formulate an energy policy based upon the facts not speculation by environmental anarchists? I stand in awe as we let the other take center stage on all the issues putting us in the response mode.

Newt's explanation is akin to explaining away THIS photo:

[PhiKapMom]

Anyone doing an ad with Pelosi can have no explanation that would satisfy me — no Conservative should give that leftist any credibility.

[Bluebird Singing]

Well, that explanation makes sense, but you’d never guess that’s what he believes by watching that ad. That ad makes him look like he’s just another politician trying to be everything to everybody. He’d be better off finding another way to express his concerns over the environment. IMO

Dear Newt: mission NOT accomplished.

With my Real Estate Pac, the leaders at state level endorsed a democratic governor. We conservatives were hopping mad, I talked to one of the Republican trustees and he said, "It's Better to be at the table than on the menu".

Newt seems to be saying the same thing.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Didn’t he “debate” Bore on this and agree with everything Bore said?

[metesky]

BS. Jaw-jaw has gotten us where we are-are. It gives their premises the aura of legitimacy.

[Osage Orange]

Prizes?!?!?

[penowa]

Just asking...is “green conservatism” related to or comparable to “compassionate conservatism?” I thought by now that conservatives had learned to be suspicous of anyone who feels the need to add some modifier to conservatism to make it more acceptable to lefties.

[RightWhale]

I don't think that we have conclusive proof of global warming. And I don't think we have conclusive proof that humans are at the center of it.

Fuzzy thinking.

[razorback-bert]

I didn’t see any debate!

[HerrBlucher]

But Newt, you caved on the key debate i.e. whether or not global warming is occurring and what is the cause.....you bought into anthropogenic global warming when the evidence indicates that global warming is caused by natural forces. This is not conservatism it is simply moonbattery. And profiting off the sale of a solution(s) to a non-existent problem is simply wrong and is on par with selling band instruments and uniforms to parents to keep their kid from playing pool. Snake oil snake oil snake oil. You should be ashamed of yourself Newt for doing the idiotic ad with comrade Nancy and even more ashamed of yourself for this ridiculous explanation.

[plain talk]

I don’t disagree with what newt said but it doesn’t explain doing ads WITH the dems. Why not separate ads showing the contrast.

How about conservatives stating they are for reducing pollutants harmful to humans and stating that CO2 is not one if them as technology improvements allow it? These idiots are focusing on the wrong compounds and wanting to waste precious resources reducing CO2 which nature loves.

[org.whodat]

Don’t plan on reading it, there is not enough wild turkey made to get me drunk enough to make a commercial with that Nancy. So newt had a brain stroke, I hope he gets well and does ok in his remaining retirement years.

[rjones42]

I don’t think it was a debate Newt.

[econjack]

Good idea, Newt...but the wrong approach. Doing ANYTHING with Pelosi is a slap in the face to a conservative simply because what she stands for is anathema to conservative principles. If you want to get your message out, doing it with Pelosi is the wrong way to do it because virtually everyone will see it a tacit approval of Pelosi’s message. I rarely disagree with you, Newt, but this time you're wrong.
