Republicama...you got a wheel in a ditch... and a wheel on the track!!!

They can start by dusting off the "Contract With America" that worked pretty damn well in 1994. Instead we have uncontrolled spending, Amnesty for illegals and other items that go against the grain of Conservative ideals [meaning common sense] that Newt came up with 12 years ago.

[plain talk]

Newt's the man responsible for them being where they are. They should listen to him.

[CWOJackson]

Ah yes, the morale compass of the GOP.

if Democrats win the House... John Conyers will take over the Judiciary Committee and he has promised to launch impeachment hearings.

"The problem you have right now is the conservative movement -- which is still very healthy in the country at large -- feels very abandoned in Washington," he told the Trib yesterday.

Using my best shrill, harpie voice: AAAACK! He wants Hillary to win! He wants Pelosi as speaker! He wants to turn it over to the Dems! I can't believe he said that! I've known he was a BircherBuchananiteDUTrollDemInfiltratorMobyStormfronter all along!

"Conservatives actually believe in a balanced budget as a moral issue. Conservatives actually believe you ought to control the border as a matter of national security. Conservatives are the people who pay the taxes. They're not the people who get the pork."

More shrill, harpie-speak: Are you kidding me! Reagan hardly ever balanced the budget! Reagan didn't control the border! Reagan gave amnesty to millions of illegal aliens too! You can bet Hillary won't control the borders or balance the budget!! Screech!! You can bet Pelosi won't control the borders or balance the budget! We're at war! Gingrich can't say this or he's not supporting the troops! He's supporting the terrorists!! He wants to turn it all over to the Democrats!!! Screeeeeech!!!

"I'd look at very substantial investment in national security -- a very tough-minded approach to homeland security -- and absolute control of the borders."

Shrill, harpie screeching: When campaigning, President Bush never said that he wanted absolute control of the border! Gingrich is unappeasable! What a malcontent!! He's a racistxenophobantihispanicnazibigot who hates Mexicans!!! He's a secret member of Stormfront!!! He wants to turn it all over to the Democrats!!!!!! He's never been a real conservative!!! He hates Bush!! He wouldn't say any of this if he wasn't a Bush basher!!! He hate Republicans too!!! What does he want, for everyone to vote third party!!?!!

Shut up, Newt! Go away!!! We don't need your support anyway!! We don't need the votes of the so-called "conservatives" that you're talking about because they're just a bunch of moronic, right-wing, extremist, fringe whacko, malcontent, unappeasable, fake conservative, democrat loving, stupid hicks who want Hillary for President and Pelosi for speaker!!! Brrraaaaaaaccccckkkkkkk!!!!!!!! They probably never voted for Republicans in the first place! They're just Democrats trying to ruin our chances! The polls are lying!!!

A few days ago, RNC Chair Ken Mehlman alluded to this. Now Newt Gingrich speaks to it. The choice is either to marginalize the conservatives even more, beat on them, claim they're too demanding, unrealistic, unappeasable. Or realize why they feel betrayed and work to find a way to make amends.

One of these choices will put Hillary in the White House and Pelosi in the Speaker's chair. Choose wisely.

"How can you say God can't exist in a public square if your primary political document starts by saying your rights come from God," Gingrich said. "You have to have a fight about defining America."

Please be the GOP nominee in 08. The only repub of note with a brain. He will destroy Hillary.

"Conservatives actually believe in a balanced budget as a moral issue. Conservatives actually believe you ought to control the border as a matter of national security. Conservatives are the people who pay the taxes. They're not the people who get the pork."

A succinct summary. The spending, the border.. Exactly why should conservatives feel the GOP is representing them? When you add how many Dims and independents feel the same way in the most heavily invaded states, Newt is right.

The GOP has a huge opportunity not only to win but to win big. But only if they return to the rule of law and Reagan's principles.
