This why I will never vote for Newt in a primary.

"We need candor, we need directness,"

Careful Newtie, a couple of your ex-wives might have said the same thing to you. Watch it.

Too late, the door is open and we cant go back.


Why did Newt have to leave again?

Did he serve divorce papers on his sick wife?
Or was that JOhn Kerry?

LOL, Newt needs to have a nice cup of STFU.

That Gingrich! Always with the jokes. Everyone knows that Bush and the Republicans are not responsible for their loss. They were done in by those insignificant Libertarians. That little snob, Medved, says so.

Newt is the LAST guy who should start pointing his finger around.

Seems to me like the LEADER of a movement is not the person who should start blaming people for that movement failing, when THEY were forced to resign for unethical behavior.

Gingrich is right and it's what I've been saying. Bush and Rove are to blame for squandering this once in a lifetime Republican control of congress. With that being said, it's time for the GOP to clear out the hacks running it now and bring in people with vision who can bring back the magic that Gingrich and others brought back in 94.

Too bad James Rogan isn't in congress. He'd be the ideal minority leader.

Newt is a decent guy, but any man who has 2 ex wives shows he is lacking in commitment and responsbility, therefore I would never vote for him.

Precious from a guy who cut tail and run when his backside was under fire after giving his opponents ammunition.

So many screw ups. It's like the Titanic, if any one thing had been different, it may not have been the disaster it was. I hadn't thought about McCain and his role in the 2006 disaster, but Hugh Hewitt's column reminds us what part he played as well.

I liked Rogan. I wonder what he's doing these days.

While that does sound like something John Kerry would have done, it was Newt Gingrich. I think he might make a good GOP Chairman, but he could never be elected to national office, so people may as well drop that idea.

I agree that he has no room to talk. However, I do agree with him on this.

Sounds like fairly accurate observations. There was zero accomplished in this last term. A simmering Iraq situation that did not appear to be improving (with poor communication of the fact from the GOP), no economic accomplishments, and a less than popular stance on immigration. It looked like those in power in the House were more interested in enjoying the power than pushing an agenda.

Wasn't Kerry's first wife going through a really bad depression?
