"Michael Steele makes a number of old-time Republicans very nervous," Gingrich said. "He comes out of a different background. He went to seminary ... he's African-American ... But I think he's pretty close to what we need. He's different, he's gutsy and he's going to make a number of Republicans mad."

The GOP is just the remora to the Democrat shark.

Pissant scavengers.

Old time Republicans like Abe Lincoln? I think Newt is projecting his own racism.

You would think after Newt was humiliated after endorsing that idiot Scozzafava that he would never show his face in this town again, nope, he keeps on yapping, this time sounding even more stupid then the last time

What the heck does he mean by making Republicans mad? Does he mean making conservatives mad? It's hard to believe that he'd be willing to make the Beltway types mad.

Mike, THERE'S A REASON YOUR DONATIONS ARE DOWN. CONNECT WITH THE BASE.

Is this a joke?
Newt did not say that, did he? Darn it. I thought he was smarter than that. ..

What in the wide wide world of sports is going on with these folks.

On a happier note, perhaps this means Steele is becoming vulnerable right now?

Newt probably likes our having another Republican off-message and with a foot in his mouth more than himself.

Newt seems to stand for the status quo in a time when extraordinary leadership is required to save this Nation from the destruction the Leftists, and the RINO status quo has wreaked upon us.

It’s time for “Old Time Republicans”, Conservative “Old Time Republicans” to kick Newt”s, and Michael Steele’s asses out of the GOP.

They aren’t needed anymore. RINO’s are nothing but Leftists attired in fake Elephant skin.

Newt has become such a disappointment since his feeble last days as speaker — which began just after the “Contract with America” less than 100 days into the Republican majority in 1995. Boy, has he fallen FAR. Disgusting.

‘old time Republicans’? ‘Healthcare Transformation’.....

Newt sounds like an Obama cheerleader.

He's different, he's gutsy “

Replace Steele with Dede Scozzafava in that sentence, and you have exactly the kind of man Newt Gingrich is. A man with no principles whatsoever, who would say anything so he can get paid to appear on MSM TV outlets.
Hey, Newt, I am black and still don't want Michael Steele as RNC Chairman. He is just not the right man for the job, at this crucial time in the nation's history when everything must be done to bring down the unholy trinity of 0bama/Pelosi/Reid.
We can't have an RNC chairman who is far more interested in selling books/giving paid speeches and making money than in winning elections and beating 0bama.
