Speaker Gingrich on Fox News this morning: Outstanding. Dems are "Socialists"!

[Cringing Negativism Network]

It almost seems Speaker Gingrich's climb-down in the NY23 race, has liberated him.

Gingrich was on Fox News this morning, and not once but serveral times referred to democrats with the "Socialist" word. He was great.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

It was like seeing the original so-inspiring Newt Gingrich, of 1994 once again. Combative. Direct.

Welcome back Newt.

Give 'em heck!!

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Hey, Newt...

SO ARE RINO’s, like Schizzofrizzy.

I hate socialism and communism. I care not whether there is an (R) or a (D) after their name.

[BerniesFriend]

sorry newt..principles don’t take a poll..you are diminished..

[Graybeard58]

Gingrich can go suck an egg.

[Bryanw92]

Is he being a leader or a weather vane? I’ll wait a week to see what he does when the Left respond before I start cheering.

But, I hope he’s coming back to the Right! I hope they all come back to the Right.

[rintense]

Bull. He should never be trusted again until he shows a long and straight path of true conservatism, period.

[pnh102]

Call me skeptical. Newt has bedded far too many socialists of late for me to take him seriously as a conservative of late. If he had come down on the correct side of issues such as a man made global warming, government schooling (hanging out with Al Sharpton and Arne Duncan are non-starters in my book) and not endorsed a socialist in the recent NY 23 race, I’d consider him to be a real conservative, instead of someone who believes, as he put it, that electing “Democrat lite” candidates is the “future of the GOP.”

[MuttTheHoople]

Crawfishing

[Boiling Pots]

Please, Gingrich is a wealth re-distributionist. He is scum.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

Easy for Gingrich since he was just humiliated by backing that RINO in upper NY-23. Gingrich lost ALL credibility. He’s a typical inside the beltway pol who will do and say whatever to help him. He had his chance back in 94 and he pissed it away. He should go back to hitting on his own interns.

[WillT]

I’m not sure why he is supporting Hoffman, since he claimed the guy didn’t know the issues and didn’t live in the district. What a tool.

[Last Dakotan]

The man has a finger to the wind - like every other professional politician.

[Joann37]

Maybe he was “great” today, but he’s not consistent. In fact, he’s quite unreliable.

[rintense]

He just won’t admit he was wrong. That is not the sign of a true leader.

[omega4179]

Speak for yourself, he just endorsed scuzzo last week.

old blow in the wind Newt.

[Kudsman]

Funny, I don't recall him mentioning that word once the whole time he was on FNC. I do remember him differentiating between Republican support and Conservative support for Doug Hoffman though. To me he sounded more like a weak apologist lamenting the fact that, in his own words, the liberal Republican wing suffered a setback.

Newt knows history, and Newt sees the wave coming...we’re coming to take our Constitution back from the socialists. When the wave ebbs Newt will ride out on it like all politicians...

The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) was established in 1991 by five members of the United States House of Representatives: Representatives Ron Dellums (D-CA), Lane Evans (D-IL), Peter DeFazio (D-OR), Maxine Waters (D-CA), and Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Then-Representative Bernie Sanders was the convener and first. The founding members were concerned about the economic hardship imposed by the deepening recession, the growing inequality brought about by the timidity of the Democratic Party response at the time.

Additional House representatives joined soon, including Major Owens (D-NY), Nydia Velazquez (D-NY), David Bonior (D-MI), Bob Filner (D-CA), Barney Frank (D-MA), Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), Jim McDermott (D-WA), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Patsy Mink (D-HI), George Miller (D-CA), Pete Stark (D-CA), John Olver (D-MA), Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), and Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

Newt was moderately diplomatic and unrepentant. He still implied that Conservatives can’t win the presidency without becoming RINOs.

So, Newt *was* strong in calling the “Pelosi wing” of the dems as socialist but he didn’t include 0bama and he did not seem to have changed his mind about anything. That will keep him down and out with the rising powers of the Conservative movement.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Newt isn’t a stopped clock, he’s a stopped calendar.

He needs to go away, or become a commentator for the WNBA (same thing).
