I’m one of the few people around here dumb enough to keep defending Newt, and he insists on embarrassing me.

I give up.

Rule #1, politicians are always for themselves first, and citizen's a distant 52nd.

I wanted to like him as I thought his conversion to Catholicism might be genuine. I fear he may be a Tony Blair Catholic, a breed I do not understand.

I understand. How the mighty have fallen.

I am glad you have given up defending Duh-Newt.

He wrote a letter supporting her and said in the letter she is the new direction of the republican party.

Newt is the one that declared that Reaganism is dead. I don’t trust him and he is showing very bad judgement here. I really don’t think he gets it. The RINO’s will not win anymore.

Believe me, (us)...many of us want to support Newt, but I’m fed up with him and have also given up. He has drunk the KoolAid and is totally out of touch with the conservative base.

Welcome back. I too at one time thought that Newt still had a place in the RNC devoted to educating young voters. Instead he has become a mouthpiece for the MM global warming push, cavorts with the most heinous of Dems, and proven himself an enemy of the Constitution and the Republic. Doom on his ass!

Personally I am loyal to conservative values not people who say they are conservative yet perform like a liberal or moderate socialist. Be they someone we chose yesterday by accident or someone we choose tomorrow on purpose if they stray from conservative values we are not obligated to keep supporting them or staying quiet about their performance.

..... Thus the reason I vote on ones record versus ones promises. Anything less is IMHO a risky bet at best. Such as the lesser of two evils concepts we are usually presented during an election. No polidiot is perfect, no polidiot deserves blind silent devotion. Politics has a human element as we all know and is fallible to the nth degree. Constant attention to it’s every act is the effort that must be maintained to preserve our beloved republic and liberty.

Just my opinion of course.

Stay safe
