Two top Republicans sided Sunday with President Barack Obama on his scheduled speech Tuesday to school children.
“I have been in communication with Arne Duncan and the team at Department of Education,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said on "Fox News Sunday." “I believe this is going to be posted. People are going to see it in advance. It is going be a totally positive speech. If that is what it is, it is good to have the president of the United States saying to young people across America stay in school and do your homework. It’s good for America.”
Senate Republican Conference Chairman Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, a former education secretary under President George H.W. Bush, said: “Of course, the president of the United States should be able to address students.”
Parents and teachers should be able to choose whether to show the speech, Alexander said. But it is a good opportunity to give students a civics lessons, he said, and teachers should embrace the moment by showing clips of other presidents.
Cringing Alinski’s “Rules for RINOS”:
RULE ONE:
Shut up Newt.
One party DA
What a flipping moron. It is not “just a speech”, its all the other s#it that went with it. Good grief, he is thick.
Newt. We gave you your shot. YOU blew it. Please go away. We’ve got a country and a government to win back.
Thank goodness they didn’t breed.
I mean with eachother.
It’s probably OK now, they’ve had all weekend to sanitize it!
He had a lot of “IFS” in his answer on Fox News Sunday.
““Rules for RINOS”:”
ROTFLMAO!!
Newt doesn’t understand the American people.
Newt will undergo another RINOplasty later this week.
RDINARY. Newt is soooooo 1990's.
That part I can agree with.
Newt has completely lost me, for good.
It seems he doesn’t want to take back America.
He should know when to keep these things to himself.

Out with the Newt, in with the Palin.
Out with the Newt, in with the Palin.
Out with the Newt, in with the Palin.
Bye, bye Newt!
Actually, you should consider the reality of the situation.
Of the each 100 kids who do get forced into the room to watch....at least thirty are doped up, drunk or half-asleep from being up at 1AM.
Three will be pregnant girls sitting there and worrying about how to explain to Mom about their situation.
Eight will be anti-authority geeks who will challenge everything that the President says.
Five will be guys who are having affairs with their teachers so they are thinking about lusty things.
Twenty-five will be products of a “Rush-Hannity-Beck” household and openly repeat what Dad said or what Rush said...driving the English Literature teacher crazy because this ate up an entire hour.
Fourteen of them will be wondering what the big guy is saying because English is a second language for them.
Three will hint things related to 1936 Nazi Germany and be sent home for the rest of the day.
So finally, we come to folks who remain...who might be far-left liberal. They might take something positive out of the speech.
The White House and these national educational geeks haven’t connected to the present school system in thirty years. They grasp little about the make-up or the running of such schools. And they are attempting a tactic that has little to no value on kids who really don’t care.
Newt is an idiot. He sends me sh*t asking for money. Yeah right. Go to h*ll Newt.
What happened to this guy really ?
Wasn’t he supposed to be the Great Republican Hope once upon a time ?
And Hannity has this guy on nearly every other day, if you can believe it. Why he continues to admire Newt so much, and give him so much airtime is beyond me.
For Newt to come out and make such feel-good statements about Obama's upcoming speech to our kids just shows how far out of the loop he is on the whole story.
It makes me nuts when I know ten times more about a current and important topic than one of our so-called conservative "luminaries".
Uh oh, the stupid Newt is back again. I hate when the stupid Newt rears his ugly head.

what the frig is with this guy ? Every time Im ready to believe in him again he says something stupid. The last time was global warming. I’ve had it with him
Newt’s problem is that he thinks too much, as if we were playing a serious and thoughtful chess match with Obama. Obama and his commie friends aren’t interested in playing by the rules; they want to throw out all the pieces and make it so that only he can win.
Out with Bill Cunningham (radio talker), too. He just made a statement that Sarah Palin "doesn't have a shot" at the Presidency because the MSM has ruined her credibility (to paraphrase him).
Here is yet another high profile "conservative" who should know better, spouting off some stupid statement that doesn't at all comport with reality.
I swear, I'm going to start demanding that anyone who claims to represent conservative views on the public stage, read at Free Republic at least an hour a day to stay informed. This crap just makes me nuts.
The last person I want to hear from is Newt.
Home run.
You are exactly right.
We are watching the Russian communist revolution of 1911 in action. Right here.
And Republicans are catatonic. CLUELESS as the the enormity of what is happening.
Too much Country Club. Not enough Paul Revere.
He certainly did!
"If that is what it is"
Politico trying to stir the *hit!
Or, to borrow from George W:
"Newt, we don't do nuance."
Carrie Budoff actually wanted to be an attorney.
2010 EVERYBODY has to go ....EVERYBODY
Studied law when an inopportune tweezers brought an abrupt end to her career aspirations as a unibrow model?
(I hear the same thing happened to Lady MacBama.)
“stay in school and do your homework”
It’s actually better if they drop out and get jobs.
If ones such as Bachmann are truly worthy of leadership, they will put the need to cleanse and restore above their own personal ambitions.
When will these people ever realize that the left is never going to like them? No matter how hard they suck up to them? That crap is over! We’re mad as he!! and we’re not going to take it anymore! Go away you country club RINOs!
Why is Newt Gingrich considered a top Republican?
He hasn’t been in office since 1998. After he left in disgrace.
And Lamar Alexander. He could have bumrushed the stage during Gov Palin’s spech and even the TN delegation would have no clue who he was. He’s certainly not a top Republican.
Is Tom Foley considered a top Dem?
As for Newt...not a surprise.

I wrote Newt off when he pulled that “Pelosi on the couch” stunt.
He is dead to me.
I wonder if she shaves with Barbasol or Egde?
Sometimes he makes so much sense, and then there are times like these...
These jokers are so out of touch, they're worse than an embarrassment. Where are the conservative leaders fitted to the demands of the age?
Agreed. 
The last thing we need is another damn
RINOcrat presidential candidate. Perhaps he'd
feel more comfortable with the Democrat party.
Shut up, Newt. The Conservatives are at the helm!
Just confirming what I already knew about the RINO a**hat.
Newt’s a douche.
