The determination of the communists to keep their power and grow it is what frightens me.

For the record, I protest voted for Ron Paul that time. I've voting Santorum this time.
I got the call. It was Romney.
I’m pretty sure this same thing happened in South Carolina, only to Jim DeMint.
I would think it would be hard to get any endorsements once people see you pulling stuff like this.
Aria, it’s called Progressives...it just sounds so sweet.
100 years from now the “Progressives” will have killed 500 million people and need to pick a new name.
This article says Newt at least said McCain would be an acceptable nominee at CPAC in 2008, however at the end of the article it says he was not giving his endorsement or supporting him. Newt also had some very wise and prescient warnings for Republicans which, like much of everything else Newt says, they should have listened to, because he was and still is the smartest politician in the room...

He said he had traveled to Idaho last weekend, when Illinois Sen. Barack Obama attracted a crowd of at least 16,000 in Boise, and that the ability of a Senate Democrat to attract a crowd of that size in that solidly-red state was “inconceivable.”
“On Super Tuesday, there were 14.6 million Democrats who thought the presidential nomination was worth voting for, and there were 8.3 million Republicans” who felt the same, he said. “That is a warning of a catastrophic election.”
He said there was “something happening” in the country that conservatives did not understand, and “I believe we need to change or expect defeat.”
Gingrich – who made a grand entrance Saturday to a recording of “Stars and Stripes Forever” – received a far different welcome from the conservative crowd. “We need you, Newt!” called one member of the audience.
The former Georgia congressman had weighed his own 2008 presidential run before abandoning the idea late last year. In the 2007 CPAC presidential straw poll, only Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani earned more first- and second-place votes.
He did not say Saturday whether he officially endorsed or would actively support McCain.
FDR supported Al Smith in 1924 and in 1928. In 1932, he took the nomination away from Smith.

Mittens was a better choice than McCain in 08.
In 2008 the world was an entirely different place than it is today....if people don’t recognize that...and act accordingly, we are sunk.
Vote Skuzzy!
“Who did Newt endorse in the 2008 primary? Just asking......”
I guess Newt didn’t endorse in 2008 while there was a contested primary, but he is certainly not clean and pure as the wind driven snow when it comes to bad endorsements. Dede in NY 23 in 2009 was as RINO as they come.
