In full agreement there, but I still would very much like to hear your take on Newt’s conversion to Tea Partyism - the when, where. (I think we can pretty well guess why ; } It was just stunning to watch him defend a candidate who was SO out there as a RINO that when she was defeated, she would encourage her supporters to vote for the Democrat! And this was in 2010 in the full ascendency Tea Party : o
So once more, here is my original question - Can you explain how what Newt says today jives with what he said in 2010, when he was backing Dede Scozzafava over Hoffman, the Tea Party candidate?
Thanks in advance.

I can’t answer your question with specifics. I just don’t know. But I do know the founder of Tea Party Nation, Judson Phillips, endorsed Newt some time ago. I don’t know how that sets with other Tea Party members. Maybe the Tea Partiers, as a group, find Cain and Bachman more to their liking, but if it comes down to Mittens vs Newt I’m pretty sure which way they’ll go. What do you think?
