I just heard NEWT go out of his way to critsize the Bush Administration..and he was very, very descriptive in his bashing of the Administration.

My question: Newt, if he runs for POTUS, will NOT be running against Prs. Bush...does he not think that running down the current GOP Administration is NOT a good thing??

I dont have a very high regard for ol’ Newt, and it drives me up a wall every time
Hannity calls him “Mr. Speaker”, what a load of crapola

I just heard the same thing about how Gonzalez should go, even if that’s how Newt feels he should stfu on nat tv. what an idiot! Besides I don’t see what Gonzalez has done that is so wrong. If anything GW should have stood up for him more that he has.

Unlike many people, I do not think Newt is a great thinker. He is capable of thinking up clever and catchy ideas, but not so good at strategic thinking.

I am reminded of his whining about having to get out of the back of Air Force One. A strategic thinker wouldn't have gone public with this complaint, as he would have realized it made him sound like a whining third-grader (which is how the media portrayed him). He also totally misread how the media would portray his showdown with Clinton over the budget, which is another example of his inability to look ahead and see possible results of his actions.

I just don't think he has the ability to lead as a president, and should he get the nomination his campaign would be full of this type of misstep.

Don't get me wrong. If he gets the nomination I will support him 100%; I just think there are far better people to carry the ball.
