We heard all the same blow hard GOP Establishment talk in 2008. They all could not wait for “the war hero to take on the kid” in the debates. We were all told how “great” McCain was going to be going up against 0. Instead McCain folded like a cheap suit. Newt will be no different.
Hmmm so Newt is the “adult”? The “adult” who has consistently stabbed the Conservative movement in the back in the name of political expediency?
Newt who threw Paul Ryan under the bus, trash talked the GOP Health Care plan as “Right wing social engineering”, chastised Conservative for not backing uber RINO Dede Scusafasa, purposes a Amnesty lite “Middle way on Immigration” and jumped on the Global Warming couch with Nancy Pelosie??
So “adult” now means being a Bush like candidate who will talk a tough game on the Campaign trail and then go to DC and be a good little crony capitalist liberal GOP water boy.
No thanks, I have no interest in voting for McCain 2.0 in 2012
McCain cant put two sentences together. He was the best we had at that time but a horrible candidate. I appreciate his service to our Country and will always respect him - but I am glad he is fading out of the political picture.
Newt is no McCain. He isn’t going to fold and although he strongly disagrees with some of the Conservative movement - many of what he is espousing is a MORE conservative position.
Yes, he may be part of the “establishment” but he is not a part of Karl Rove’s establishment - so that is good with me.
Sitting with Pelosi on the couch doesn’t mean he isn’t qualified to be President.
I never heard that. I think you are having false memory problems. All I ever heard was what a rino McCain was. In any case Newt is far from McCain. He's been in private life for what--fifteen years? Half the electorate won't even know or care what he was savaged for in the early nineties, and the other half won't hold it against him if he runs against the Usurper.
