“I’m not sure I believe Newt is a closet Islamist,”
I never said he was. I don’t think he is. I don’t think Newt has an ideology. He’s a whore...he’ll jump on which ever side benefits him at the moment and that is usually with Grover Norquist, who pulls his strings and too many other strings in the GOP.
Now for all of you Newt lovers who refuse to see any facts...the TEN most dangerous people in the GOP:
1. GROVER NORQUIST
2. Newt Gingrich
3. David Keene
4. Al Cardenas
5. Cesar Conda - WHO??http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3007546/posts
6. JOhn McCain
7. Karl Rove
8. John Boehner
9. Mitch McConnell
10. Anyone named BUSH
AND if you don’t know WHY they are dangerous, YOU should NOT be voting!
O.K. I thought you were saying that his closeness to Norquist was proof of his real sympathies (Islam), thus putting the lie to his criticism (thus the “whore” label you use).
What you are really saying is that he is saying these things because they are all calculated lies, designed to win him elections, and he may be even a little brave to say them with Norquist around to behead him when he gets a chance. Well, you may be right. You sound like more of an insider than I am, and I have pretty much the same view of Hillary Clinton, for instance. When she speaks, you can almost see the gears turning behind the mask as she tries to calculate the most effective lie to use.
Still, even given this, I liked his effect on this last election. He was able to talk about Food Stamps, the threat of Islam and other important issues in a way that resonated even with the other candidates. His handling of the phony Liberal debate so-called “moderators” helped all of the Republican candidates come off better.
So, if he is the “lying whore” you say he is, I hope he gets a chance to keep “lying” in a lot of the ways he has been. We might get better Conservative candidates with him squawking in the background.
Now way OT, but your list looks funny to me. You may be WAY inside, but why isn’t Rove at the top? You’re saying Norquist pulls more strings? Why aren’t McCain and Boehner higher? How is Gingrich even a factor in the current Republican party, let alone near the top of your list?
If this score-card is how you’re voting, maybe you shouldn’t worry about who I’m voting for.
