Newt Gingrich, who has toyed with a possible 2012 White House bid, raised nearly $2.7 million in the first three months of the year for his political committee almost as much as the groups of prospective rivals for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee brought in combined.

Newt led the charge when last the pubbies took control of both houses of congress.
Then he and those pubbies spent our money like drunk sailors on shore leave for the 1st time in 6 months.
They blew it and do not deserve another chance.
REAL conservatives, no RINOs. GO play nice with your buddies Hillary and Nancy there Newt. You’ve spent too much time reading your press clippings and inside the beltway.
Hell, I do not even remember what state Newt is from. Guess he is a D.C. insider.
I would also add slimy to your very funny & true, “pasty little troll” comment. This guy is creepy in a way I can’t define. Does he actually stand for anything other than himself?????
How much of that, is from Democrats?
Once again, picking the GOP candidate.
Once again, we’ll end up with a Bob Dole, a John McCain, or a ... Newt Gingrich.
A reminder to all: Democrats already showed they know how to destroy Newt Gingrich using the methods of Comrade Saul Alinsky. And Newt Gingrich already showed, he’ll fold when they do.
They’ll do it again, if we’re stupid enough to put him at the helm of the GOP.
DOA, regardless of how much money he’s taking in.
Rush Limbaugh = Educator
Sean Hannity = Cheerleader
Glenn Beck = Entertainment
Newt, u r a great idea man. You TALK a good game. u r so OVER as a candidate. u have NO CHANCE of winning. u sold ur soul to the devil & now u will pay 4 it.
What a waste of 2.7 million!
In the upcoming weeks, I’m sure we’ll be treated to his Good Buddy Hannity saying: “Mr. Speaker, you’re a Great American...good luck with your campaign!”
It’s sickening watching Hannity suck up to RINOs like Newt, McCain, Romney, and Huckabee.
Sean, You will NEVER be a RUSH or LEVIN!
Not sure how much louder we have to scream at the Tea Parties to make these idiots understand. Newt should take Mitt, Huckabee and Sean and go on a long vacation.

Sean is nothing but a walking Cliche...I had to quit listening to him.
I’m beyond sick of his: “You’re a Great American”, “Let not your heart be troubled!”, “The Great, Great, Great American Panel!” What a dork!
Good grief, watch his face when McLame is on with him! He looks like a smitten school girl!
“If he runs he has my support.”
Do you support Amensty? Newt does. This guy is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Just another squishy middle of the roader.
1998 - The Georgia republican delegation wrote to the Clinton WH demanding workplace enforcement of illegal aliens be stopped in Georgia.
2004[snip] Norquist, Newt Gingrich, Tamar Jacoby and other amnesty advocates penned a letter to the Wall St Journal proclaiming Bushs guest worker plan as “a humane, orderly, and economically sensible approach to migration.”

I think that nails him perfectly.
This man is the Republican version of Bill Clinton sexual mores and all!
You lost Newt, without hardly a whimper. There is no way this country will give you a chance to wimp out again.
GO AWAY, GINGRICH
Newt is so yesterday with baggage. The GOP needs to STOP running these old has-beens and stick with some new blood.
Newt didn’t get the memo.
OK, Newt, 1994 was fun, you caught em by surprise. Good for you. But, that Pelosi AGW thing was just awful. Just get down there, right, off the stage. Find a seat. Fox will pay you a bundle to explain it all to the spectators.
Now, go, please.
Yeah, but dang it! Can we please stop having to select between the lesser of evils? Neither Gingrich nor Romney should be anywhere near an elected office. Gingrich had his chance in 1995 to shine and totally blew it.
Romney is like a vomit burp (vurp in Tim Allen terminology) that someone let out that coarser individuals want to cheer while being made sick to their stomach by the smell.
An electrifying election until we saw Business As Usual when congress got back into session the next year.
Then he and those pubbies spent our money like drunk sailors on shore leave for the 1st time in 6 months.
Sailors aren't paid enough to spend like the clowns in Washington DC spend. Be respectful to the military!
Not a single plank of the Contract With America went anywhere. Term limits (a stupid idea) were ruled unconstitutional and the rest were quietly abandoned. In the meantime, the Republican led congress continued doing idiotic things aside of spending like adding the CDA to the "must have" Telecom pork bill that ended up with all the beneficiaries in jail or bankrupt. Way to go, Mr. Newt!
I beg to differ, it's a hell of a lot more difficult to keep buying off new politicians than keeping the old ones bought.
