Gingrich 'Deeply Upset' That Scozzafava Endorsed Democrat After He'd Supported Her (ROFL)

TPM ^ | 11/2/09 | Eric Kleefeld

[pissant]

Newt Gingrich, who had previously endorsed moderate Republican Dede Scozzafava in the NY-23 special election, now says he is "deeply upset" about her endorsement of Democrat Bill Owens after she withdrew from the race.

"How could she have accepted all that support?" said Gingrich, also adding: "I'm very, very let down because she told everybody she was a Republican, and she said she was a loyal Republican."

Gingrich had caught a lot of criticism on the right for supporting Scozzafava, and arguing that the Republican Party needs to have room for moderates. Now that Scozzafava has quit the race and endorsed the Democrat, due to campaign by the right to push her out in favor of Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman, Gingrich will certainly have to work hard to undo the damage from his having bet on the wrong horse.

How can you be surprised, Newt? What part of "Republican in Name Only" do you not understand?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Gingrich pimped her, Sarah made an honest woman out of her.

[broken_arrow1]

Newt might want to consider becoming a Democrat!

[Red Badger]

Dear newt,
GET A CLUE!
Sincerely RB

[TexasCajun]

Who is Newt palling around with this week? ...one guess!

Gingrich and Sharpton to visit Carver High School

[wastedyears]

Hey Newt,

[kcvl]

she told everybody she was a Republican, and she said she was a loyal Republican

I guess Newt wasn't smart enough to LOOK AT HER VOTING RECORD or he thinks we are too stupid to do it.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Get with the program Newt!

[Oldpuppymax]

Well you’re not as DEEPLY UPSET as WE are that you supported this leftist RINO, Newt! Scozzafava exposed the true meaning of RINO republican and you exposed the meaning of a political hack who is more concerned with sucking up to the republican party to secure the presidential nomination than with doing what is RIGHT for the nation and the American people. So screw the people, right Newt? Let em put up with leftist tax raisers who will prevent drilling for oil, support abortion, cap and tax, Husseincare and all the rest. As long as you get a shot at the White House, let the people eat cake! I have 2 words for you Newt. Can you guess what they are?

[evets]

n00t, there it is!

[BJClinton]

I recommend Tabasco when eating crow.

This has nothing to do with moderates. Dede is to the left of liberal.

Gingrich, also adding: "I'm very, very let down because she told everybody she was a Republican, and she said she was a loyal Republican."

Scrappleface, The Onion, or he's just that frikin dumb?

[DRey]

"Sick and tired of our (R) fools in Washington."

He's no fool. Newt knew who she was. He's just mad he got caught.

[JenB987]

Newt only cares about the party and therefore I do not care about Newt.

[gogeo]

How can Newt be so smart and still be so naive?

Of all the people in the world, Newt has no excuse for naivete.

“I’m very, very let down because she told everybody she was a Republican, and she said she was a loyal Republican.”

Uh, then why is she in favour of Democrat crap like Card Check?

[MSF BU]

Yes, he must feel like a superb dumb ass now.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Next time Newt, look who Sarah Palin endorses and follow HER lead
