Will their campaign slogan be Rudy, Newt, Newt?

[Reagan Man]

Michael Reagan, now Newt Gingrich.

I'm not impressed.

[KellyAdmirer]

Oh man, now Newt is going to hear it from the anti-Rudy crowd. Stay low and keep your pack dry, Newt.

[onyx]

Newt likes your candidate! Stopped short of endorsing him.

[Jim Noble]

It's one of the greatest achievements of government capability in the 20th century.

And that is exactly correct.

Most politicians talk.

Rudy said what he would do (the impossible), and then he did it.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg got 96 senate vote. 96. on that basis, we'd have to disqualify almost the entire sitting republican senate. here is the roll call on the vote:

there are legitimate issues to go after Rudy on. He should certainly be asked how he squares his support for Roe, with his assertion that he would appoint constitutionalist judges. What would he think if one of his SCOTUS picks became the 5th vote to return abortion to the States? this is what the primaries are for.

Newt running to be Rudy's VP? Hmmmm....

[oceanview]

Newt may be playing a little game here. He may want to see Rudy peak early, get the conservatives and evangelicals so riled up, that they mobilize to take him down.

remember what Newt's plan is - he wants the "base" to take down the 3 republican front runners - and if he sees that part of the party demolish them, he'll step in and say "hey, there is nobody left, if you are going to go with a no name, maybe you'd consider me instead".

[SWAMPSNIPER]

"And as he said the other day," said Gingrich, "he would have appointed the same two Supreme Court justices as Bush did. So conservatives have got to decide, you know, is that acceptable or not acceptable?"

Sheeat, Newt, you may be smarter than I am, but, not by that much!
Newt, I would love to discuss "conservative" with you, from a redneck point of view! Set the date, I ain't hard to find! No presets, no moderation, no rules, just stand, like a man, and debate! I get to interupt you, anytime you get off track, and go to blowing smoke, and you get the same!
Newt, do you have the balls to debate an old swampdwelling redneck freeper, all your degrees, against my little AA, in front of a freeper panel? Anything goes, Newt, man to man!

[William Terrell]

What's with conservatives endorcing Giuliani? The man should be running as a domocrat.

[KantianBurke]

Looks like Newt is whoring himself out for a VP nod. Interesting in that he thinks Giuliani is the likely nominee and by supporting the ex Mayor now, his conservative credentials will protect Giuliani the RINO during the race.

[Clintonfatigued]

His star keeps on rising.

[JulieRNR21]

High praise for RUDY from Newt.........PING

[HitmanLV]

I suppose we're going to start hearing how Gingrich is a no-good RINO who performs abortions on the side.

[engrpat]

When Rudy comes out for open borders and amnesty I will enjoy reading the posts on FR. Think Bush is hard headed on this, just wait.

[WorkingClassFilth]

My goodness gracious bodacious. D'ya mean to tell me that the uber-genius Newt is praising Rudy and telling all of us in the hinterland that he'd be a fine candidate for the WH?

Is this the same Newt that claimed all of America responded with trembling hope to the Contract with America a-w-a-a-ay back in 94?

Well...I guess my take is a little different from ol' Newt.

See, Newt thinks that America was inspired in 1994 by Republican rhetoric. Of course, we all know now that Republican rhetoric is...well...just that - rhetoric. Now Newt, a disciple of Third Way socialist guru Alvin Toffler, sought to cast the long brewing conservative current in America as a product of newly wrought Republicanism. In truth, genuine conservatives were a long-term movement in search of a voice and machine that looked to restore our roots, freedoms and hope. The Dole/Gingrich Republican Party simply launched their boats onto the river already in motion. Fortunately, krinton & company and their covert drive to the left re-energized conservatism in a way that nothing else had done since Mr. Reagan. Actually, the '94 backlash was even bigger than Newt's philosophies because America was being awakened to the fact that krinton politics (60's radicalism) had begun the long road to fundamentally change America. As a result, the election of '94 even surprised the 'R' leadership. Quick to grasp the possible implications, they immediately sought to advance their own agendas and...ahem...careers. As we all know, the impossibly stupid choice of Mr. Dole was predictably shot down in flames and ushered in another reign of the krintons.

So...

Now Mr. Gingrich now wants to convey his confidence in Rudy as the right right-man-at-the-helm for America, again?

Ummmm...no thanks.

[Redcloak]

Don't forget the quotation marks when you call Rudy a "conservative".

[EternalVigilance]

Gingrich always was a squish.

And he always was a quivering mass of uselessness in the presence of liberal "stardom," too.

[Kevmo]

Newt's star is falling

[Beagle8U]

So, Newt gives liberal Rudy a nonendorsment boost in hopes that it will hurt McCain and Romney early, then when Rudy's record on issues is better known he can dance in a fill the void.
