No question about Newt being a political opportunist who seems to be positioning himself for a run in the 2012 election.  He's been all over the map about Sarah, with comments ranging from “Sarah will not be the future GOP leader” to references to “not being ready” to defend her, yet still noting that “Governor Palin in Alaska may be the most aggressive reformer in the country.”

Newt's politics have been all over the map too, from supporting liberal causes like global warming and endorsing Dede Scozzafava instead of endorsing Doug Hoffman in NY23.  And don't forget that his personal life is a mess.

Newt is right in criticizing the building of the mosque in NYC, and God knows we need as much support as possible, but as with many things when it comes to Newt we never know which side he is really on.   Newt has demonstrated that he is not really loyal to conservative positions all the time.

Wow, thank you, Victoria. I hadn’t realized he’d made all those comments about Sarah! He sure likes to run his mouth.

He often has good ideas and he’s a policy wonk. I like him best as a back bencher, but I think he still has political ambitions of his own, even though he’s only won elected office from a district in Georgia, he was elected Speaker of the House by his colleagues.
