Newt kissing alot of DUmocrat a$$ lately...heard on Rush's show Gnewt will be playing HIDE THE SALAMI in Missouri with Howard Dean.
No matter what Gingrich says, I fear the damage has been done. I suspect that the GOP is gonna lose this seat because of the fracture in the GOP.
The sad part is that this fracture is not your typical moderate vs conservative battle. Scozzafava is at best only nominally a Republican. Her stances are to the left of many moderate or even liberal Republicans. The GOP in NY’s 23rd CD should never have even entertained the idea of her candidacy.
Worse yet, the Democrats will point to this election (if Owens wins) as proof that the Democrats are posied to win big in 2010. They’ll completely ignore the results from Virginia or even the King County (Wash) Executive’s race. And the media won’t question the Dems’ assertion either.
I sincerely hope that Hoffman can win this election and hopefully shut the Dems up - fast!
Newt...how much are the commies paying you behind the scenes? STFU.
Hey!
I will not vote for one because he appears to be the winner!
I will not fail to vote for my choice because he looks like he will lose!
I will never not vote for the guy someone else tells me not to vote for!
I will never again vote for the lesser appearing of evils!
I will vote based on principle; and that includes not voting if I see fit!
Pick it over—you get the picture!
From a macro perspective, what happened when we went with “go along to get along” candidates in 2006 and 2008? We got trounced.
No one on our side was more willing to kowtow to the illegal aliens. What happened? McCain got shellacked in that demographic.
The reason is simple: When the choice is democrat and democrat-lite, why would any voter choose democrat lite?
When the choice is conservative vs. democrat, conservatism wins.
Wake up, Newt. For a bright guy you’re incredibly obtuse.
I thought Hoffman is leading in the polls. Don’t see how a vote for Hoffman helps the democrat. A vote for Hoffman in this case, helps win the seat. The republican cannot win.
He doesn’t understand that we don’t care about winning some stupid “game” anymore. What is the point of even belonging to a political party if one acts liberal and says they are liberal, and the other acts liberal and says they are conservative? There’s just not enough there to get me to come out to vote, sorry.

And, Gingrich is a damned liar.
He claims local republicans unanimously voted to appoint Scozzafava?? See this article for the real story: http://tcotreport.com/23ny1.html
Yesterday Gingrich claimed that the former republican rep in the district, McHugh, was pro-choice and pro-gay marriage. That was a lie too: http://www.ontheissues.org/NY/John_McHugh.htm
Finally, it’s breathtakingly cynical for Gingrich to argue this on 10th amendment grounds. Gingrich, which candidate is more likely to protect the 10th amendment limit on federal government power: Hoffman the conservative? Or Scozzafava, who reportedly is in favor of the Obama “stimulus” plan, in favor of federal card check legislation, in favor of sweeping federal health care takeover, etc., etc., etc.
Newt is vermin.
Gingrich has now tied a boat anchor around his own feet. If Hoffman wins, Newt loses. Just whose water is he carryng? He needs to get off that couch with Nancy Pelosi.
The GOP treats Conservatives the way the Donks treat minorities.
“Booga Booga! You must vote for us or else! Don’t even think about leaving the plantation, there’s monsters out there! Booga Booga!”
What’s next?
NRCC commercials saying that voting for Hoffman will mean more conservative churches will burn?
What ever Newt. Not going to buy that reasoning/threat anymore. We need to vote for CONSERVATIVES who will actually represent us. If you think that ...woman... is going to vote in the conservative caucus, you are OUT OF YOUR MIND and we should not be listening to you. Because from all appearances, Dede is going to vote with Nancy no matter WHAT party she is in.
Damn, you would think that Newt thinks we are stupid or something... dang.
"...how come when the New York State Republicans in four separate meetings make the same unanimous choice and at all four meetings pick Dede Scozzafava, how come that's somehow not good enough?"
Gingrich is not just wrong, he's lying. This was not how Scozzafava was selected. The actual story is a bit more complicated, and a whole lot uglier than what has been generally reported.
The following link, courtesy of Freeper StatenIsland in another thread, is an account of how, in addition to Scozzafava, there were actually eight other GOP prospects vying for the spot, ALL of whom were acceptably conservative and would have been endorsed by the NY Conservative Party, thus guaranteeing a GOP win, except that the GOP committee chairwoman manipulated the voting process to put in her friend, Scozzafava. In fact, Scozzafava was the one the Conservative Party folks specifically told the GOP committee they would not endorse. The ugly truth is that not only were all eight conservative GOP candidates betrayed by a corrupt committee chairwoman, she also betrayed her own committee members.
Here's the link from the TCOT Report:
He just can’t give it up, can he? How the he** does he figure voting for the most conservative is a vote for Pelosi? Voting for scuzziface is the vote for Pelosi.
Almost all of the people swept into office who signed that contract broke it and their word within a short period of time and then the "Newt" ran off and left us high and dry to chase a few bucks and his new bride.
Sad because he had good ideas but he was just another glib salesman with no depth.
He probably fears his Party network being cast into irrelevance along with himself.
Know what, Newt? This kind of arrogant condescending talking down only works on ignorant brainwashed RATS. You’re dealing with conservatives and we don’t fall for the propaganda you’re pushing. So STFU!
Gingrich is done. He is not even an elder statesman anymore. He is just an old Republican guard retired. There will be many more! We live in a new day and a new age. NO MORE RINOS!
