Former House speaker Newt Gingrich tells NRO that he is sure that endorsing Republican Dede Scozzafava in the upcoming special election in New York’s 23rd congressional district was the right thing to do. “I endorsed the Republican who has been endorsed by the National Rifle Association, opposes the Obama health plan, signed the ‘no-tax-increase’ pledge, and supports a comprehensive energy plan like I do,” says Gingrich. Third-party candidates like conservative Doug Hoffman, Scozzafava’s challenger, often serve only to divide the GOP, says Gingrich. “Just look at what’s happening in New Jersey’s gubernatorial race,” he says, pointing to the campaign of independent candidate Chris Daggett, who has siphoned support from Republican candidate Chris Christie. “What’s happening in New York and in New Jersey should be a sober warning to every purist in this country.” “If you seek to be a perfect minority, you’ll remain a minority,” says Gingrich. “That’s not how Reagan built his revolution or how we won back the House in 1994.”
“Gingrich can piss off.”
Seconded.
What the hell has happened to him. With all due respect sir, you have had your chance and your screwed it up!!! Its our time buckaroo. so stfu!!!!!!
Newt. Go away.
kiss my (_|_)
Scuzzy almost got picked by the Democrats as their candidate, think about that. She has no business being elected to the Town Park Board.
We might as well co-nominate Barack Obama for President because we want to win.
Never mind the fact that Gingrich endorsed an out and out liberal whose husband recently approached local Rat bosses about the possibility of her switching parties.
Newt can go to hell!
Gingrich hasn’t a clue.
He is completely missing the point. This isn’t about Republicans winning power. If that’s all we cared about we could just switch parties and then we’d be in power today.
We care about the issues. When someone is wrong on so many issues and endorsed by DailyKOS...wtf do you expect us to do?
Let’s see how Arlen Spector worked out for the Republican party. We had him there just so we can keep some power away from the party of the Rat.
She signed that pledged a few days ago after being pummeled for refusing to. She refused saying tax increases might be necessary.
She would vote for a tax hike in a heartbeat.

GOT IT? It’s working for 0bama (for now.)
Agreed.
Oh shut up, Newt.
Newt, just go back to sitting on the couch with Pelosi, where you belong. No one — except Fox News — cares what you think. And, whenever they put you on, I switch to CNN.
lol. I havent seen that. Where is the straight line? lol
I don’t remember Reagan going radical leftist to win in 1984
He is sounding a little bit too much like the Democrats, isn’t he?
Another way to become a minority is to win the house effectively and then blow the opportunity you have won. Now who did that?
What’s happened to the 1994 Newt? Pity, he’s drunk the Rino kool-aid.
