“Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Thursday the Bush administration is waging a “phony war” on terrorism, warning that the country is losing ground against the kind of Islamic radicals who attacked the country on Sept. 11, 2001.”
What a jerk he’s become!! A couple of months ago he’s kissing Kerry’s tush at a so-called global warming debate now it seems like he’s auditioning for Hillary’s running mate. Don’t trust this draft-dodging twerp, yeah he hid in the corner during Nam...screw him.
Newt was a really sharp guy, what happened?
“We were in charge for six years,” he said, referring to the period between 2001 and early 2007, when the GOP controlled the White House and both houses of Congress. “I don’t think you can look and say that was a great success.”
I’m very tired of Newt pretending to be a “genius”. he’s as dumb as the average RAT.
He is absolutely right. The war in Iraq is leading to a brutal civil war and complete and total repression and persecution of the few remaining Christians in Iraq.
He is right.
Cutting dependence on mid east oil is essential.
Controlling our borders is absolutely essential.
Gingrich was interrupted with applause once, when he called for an end to the biting partisanship critics say has polarized national politics and paralyzed the workings of government.
"We have got to get past this partisan baloney, where I'm not allowed to say anything good about Hillary Clinton because 'I'm not a loyal Republican,' and she's not allowed to say anything good about me, or she's not a 'loyal' Democrat. What a stupid way to run a country."
No, doofus, you are not allowed to praise Hillary Clinton because (despite whatever minor things you might agree on) she is a dyed-in-the-wool socialist and power-monger who will use your faint praise to further her own radical political ideology and to destroy ours. When will these Washingtonian morons learn that you cannot be friends with these people! These aren't the principled liberals of yesteryear (like Daniel Patrick Moynihan), who were honest about who they were and sincerely interested in the political process (and "may the best idea win"). These are win-at-all-costs, untrustworthy, sleazy, new-liberals who would just as soon stab you in the back as look at you. And every little bit of praise or power or "collegiality" you give them will be used against you!
Newt has become the Neville Chamberlain of partisan politics...
Everytime I have ever heard mention of Newt running in ‘08 the first thought in my mind is “are these people on crack?”
We need more “Green Conservatives” like Newt who agree with John Kerry about man-made global warming and the need for urgent action to stop it.
Any chance Newt might have had to jump in this race is being destroyed by his menopausal rants of late.
I know he doesn’t have the chance of that proverbial snowball of being the GOP nominee or winning the Presidency if he did; but, he would have made a good VEEP or SecDef if he’d just shut up.
This is vintage Newt. He’s an innovative guy, but he has never had any discipline as far as his mouth and his ego are concerned.
This is exactly why he would be a terrible candidate.
