Who invited this Establishment has-been? Hasn't he been part of the problem?
No, Newt hasn't been part of the problem. He tried to lead us in the right direction as speaker, but the RINOs shot his agenda out from under him. Turned out they didn't believe all that stuff they ran on and instead spent there time turning democratic port into republican pork. So Newt quit.
Ever since Newt has been trying to figure out ways to save this country and has been talking about ideas everywhere he goes. Some of his ideas are good, some are crackpot, and some are simply lame accommodations with leftists like the algoron on global warming.
But finding new ideas is important and least he goes out looking for them. While the GOP has been concerned about trying to get back in power, if they are even that interested (many have been happy just to get their share of the pork and let the dims do what they want) Newt has been trying to figure out what Puppies should do if they get back into power. That is important.
