Newt up against the Prophet Obama would be a painful thing to watch. He might be deft with one-liners but it would be futile. There are .. uncommitted voters to be cultivated in 2012 all would be unmoved by Newts juggling of conservative shibboleths..
Now Newt is hustling my fellow conservatives .. The last time around he successfully hustled conservatives in the House of Representatives and on the House impeachment committee.. He blew the impeachment and .. his role as Speaker. He now says Republicans in the House were exhausted with his great projects. Nonsense, they were exhausted with his atrocious leadership...
He is playing the liberal media card and saying he embodies conservative values. Newt is hoping conservatives suffer amnesia. Perhaps they cannot recall mere months ago when this insufferable whiz kid was lambasting the great Congressman Paul Ryan for right-wing social engineering more evidence of Newts not-so-hidden longing for the approval of the liberal media.
Newt and Bill ..went on to create empires, Bill in philanthropy and cheap thought, Newt in public policy and cheap thought. Bill has wrung up an unprecedented $75.6 million since absconding from the White House with White House loot and shameless pardons. Newt .. got between $1.6 million to $1.8 million from Freddie Mac, and he lobbied for Medicare Part B while receiving, according to the Washington Examiners Tim Carney, Big Bucks Pushing Corporate Welfare. Now after a lifetime in Washington he is promoting himself as an outsider.
Conservatives should not be surprised by the scandals that lie ahead, if they stick with him. Those of us, who raised the question of character in 1992, were confronted by an indignant Bill Clinton, treating the topic as a low blow. By now we know. Character matters.. Newt has Clintons character.

Ok. It’s official...we have to be getting into bug zapper thread numbers now.
One of you creative Freepers needs to name this self-inflicted MythSuicides over a multitude of Threads.
Some of them have skill in just staying below the surface. Eventually they expose themselves.

Watch your step......
Article 1 Section 3 is not that complicated, even a mediocre mind like my own can wrap my arms around it. But impeachment is a political process and conviction was hopeless once Newt and the boys lost seats in November. After the republican leaders in the House resigned it was assured that they would not even garner a majority in the senate for conviction, no less two thirds.
I don’t know what to say to somebody that thinks otherwise.
Woofie says...Next !
This is an interesting election by the fact that all the RINOs, who we thought were conservatives, are sticking their heads up above the foxhole to be shot off.
Tyrrell. Bang! Splat!
Yes, some ARE good at staying below the radar.. trying to remember how I described it the other day.. Projecting themselves without fully exposing... or something like that.
BUT, this guy has been out in the open with it since the 17th.. well, that’s about as far back as I read of his posts..
Anyway.. feels a bit cleaner on FR now ;)

I lost count (and wasn’t keeping names) around 15 or so.. and that was almost a week ago :p
I will backtrack, but I am sure I have missed many of them myself. TheOldLady, Darkwing104 and 50mm will have to get together and compare notes, I think, to get a general list and count..
I’d love to explain why you support ROmney when he is not a conservative, hell he;s not even a republican.
Won’t repeal obamacare.
wants talks with taliban
wants a VAT
is for the homosexual agenda
was or is still who knows with him for planned parents hood
second amendment
the list is endless
can’t be bothered and no time but Romney is no republican nor a conservative, his principles , well he has none.
Te establishment wants him because they want the homosexual agenda much like the talking heads of Coulter, Hannity etc
The establishment wants him because he is socially liberal.
Clearly the establishment did not take the warnings from the base.
No more RINO’s like Romney we want a proper conservative socially and fiscal who has fight, has guts to take obama on, not some wishy washy north east /beltway elitist who likes to go to their elitist cocktail parties with the cross dressers and homosexuals and sup brandy and thinks the north east and the beltway is real America
Dude do you understand that ONLY SENATORS can vote to acquit or convict in an impeachment trial. This is the result of the Senate elections of 1998.
The balance of the Senate remained unchanged at 55-45 in favor of the Republicans.
How is bashing Newt a good thing? Do you see liberals bashing Obama?
Why does our side have this obsessive compulsive behavior to bash their own candidates for all to see??
As a Christian, it was very important for me to decide if Newt was truthful about his new faith. I watched him alot, read a lot, and this was one of the most meaningful articles - to me - that I read. Newt is very serious about his faith.
Reagan’s Young Lieutenant. Gingrich a star on Reagan team...

Brock was a writer for The American Spectator. I used to read it way back in the day. Brock wrote “The Real Anita Hill” just after the Thomas hearings.
Sorry, I posted the wrong link - the previous one was to a WaPo blog, this is the actually Post story, which is very thoughtful, and fair.
“I wish Santorum could get traction because he has good character and will work with congress as well as listen to the people.”
If you think Santorum is free from sin, you aren’t paying attention. Santorum doesn’t have the horsepower or the guts to go up against the criminal Chicago machine and the Marxist media. We tried nice guys before - and Santorum is a nice guy - but today, in these circumstances, we need a fighter who will stomp liberal balls into the concrete.
Santorum won’t do that. Gingrich will. If you want a fight according to Queensbury rules, go watch a checkers match in the park.
We are at war. As JimRob says: Rebellion is on!
LOL. Are you really that naive or are you pulling my leg? Senators of both parties smelled the political winds and knew there would be no repercussions for acquittin Clinton. Two Republican Speakers of thr House had just resigned and under Newts leadership the House lost seats and my opinion is that they lost because our side was only getting a small percentage of Newts capabilities.
:-) That was rich though, the lesson on impeachment. Thanks for the chuckle.
Yep, going to be a lot of that in the next few weeks.
