I accept it as a reality. However, there will be many of Newt’s new best friends who abandon him as quicly as they ran to him.
I agree with you that the most important thing, after getting Obama defeated, is to enlarge the number of conservatives in Congress.
However, there again, I won’t be shocked if they are either co-opted by Newt’s “intellectual conservatism” or at constant loggerheads with him while we lose precious time.
And, btw, I don’t conclude that “reaching out to Dems” is a benign political phrase with Newt. I don’t care so much about what he says as about what he does — and he has done some hummdingers.
I don’t trust him at all, which is why I say consider at least kicking up a little fuss before going all in with the guy.
Trust me.. he is far from my first choice. It’s getting pretty sad when we are constantly forced to support the least worse of all evils.
Is this the best we can do?
