CLOSE THE BORDERS!

This is true Peter Principle in action....It appears Repubs were promoted to a point of incompetence. However, unlike the Peter Principle...the American people WILL demote them back to minority status.

Sad, but true.

[manwiththehands]

Republicans have squandered the best chance they could have been given to lead, quite possibly for decades. If the current "Republican" party hasn't figured out how to lead by now I think they may need another couple of years back on the bench to think about it.

[dingoMcgill]

Talk to the hand!

[syriacus]

Promoting active, healthy aging so more people can live longer, which will require dramatic transformation in pensions, Social Security and health care.

Give retirees tax breaks for using gyms under the watchful eye of trainers who understand the needs of the elderly.

[syriacus]

Too bad Newt had to remove himself from office. He did a good job of leading the party.

[antonico]

Just what we need: another one of Newt's lists to success.

How about this: a genuine conservative that rerally ACTS like a conservative because he reall IS a conservative and isn't AFRAID to espouse conservatism?

4. Competing in the global economy in an era of the economic rise of China and India, which will require transformations in litigation, education, taxation, regulation, and environmental, energy and health policies for America to continue to be the most successful economy in the world;

If you look at this closely enough with one eye you might be able to find a hint of cutting back government, but only if you really believe you'll find it.

The party of Reagan may not be dead, but it is on life support and its heirs like McCain are holding a pillow over its face.

[Suzy Quzy]

Hey Newt...you are to blame also when you cozy up with Hillary and slobber all over her and kiss Bill's a*s....STRAIGHTEN UP.

[Kenny Bunkport]

today, 12 years later, conservatives are grasping for a reinvigorated movement that will return our party to its roots of smaller government, innovative ideas and common sense solutions.

We need a charismatic visionary leader to embody this reinvigorated conservative message. I see no one to who can fill the role.

[Suzy Quzy]

Newt, the Contract With America was a BRILLIANT idea...should be repeated....and STOP making nice with Hillary!

[JZelle]

Isn't Newt buds w/ Hillary, like W and her hubby are?

[Rockitz]

The GOP majority is in jeopardy because many in the GOP are on the wrong side of the illegal immigration issue.

PROSECUTE EMPLOYERS WHO HAVE HIRED ILLEGALS! PUT THEM IN JAIL! SIEZE THEIR PROPERTY!
NO AMNESTY!
NO GUEST WORKERS!

[Dick Bachert]

Oh, like it matters now that the two parties have merged into the Demopublicans and contend only to see who can spend our grandkids' futures fastest.

[djf]

You mean if folks don't vote party-line Republican, the Dims will take over?

Does it make even a single tiny damn bit of difference if the pubbies are just mirror images of the dems anyways?

[BFM]

6. We must find the enemies of this country and confront them where ever we find them whether they be at home or abroad. In all cases these enemies seek to destroy America and must be unambiguously recognized and treated as such.

[newcthem]

Well Newt........if the Republicans would act like Republicans, maybe even just once in a great while, the people who elected them, might just support them. But since this isn't likely to happen............Tough Sh#t!

[Pylot]

Newt is taking too much happy medicine these dayes. His misguided "vote for me" campaign proves that in order to run for President you must have an ego of collossol proportions that detaches you from reality.

The only thing more disgusting than Clinton doing his aide in the oval office was Newt starting the process to impeach him while Newt was boffing his aide in his office.

Our memories are not that short.

[Antoninus]

Well, if the GOP is sent back to minority status, but most of the RINOs get knocked off, I'd consider that a victory, frankly.

The RINOs are like a concrete anchor dragging down the whole ship.

[AD from SpringBay]

Is he writing about the herd of RINOs? Because the conservatives, apparently, haven't been the majority for seven or so years.
