Newt’s time will pass, I think. He suddenly seemed like Mr. Right, or at least Mr. Possible after Cain faded, but he’s just not conservative enough.
I did go to the Palin criticism and even though it was from last May, it was valid. Why criticize Ryan’s plan as social engineering? It didn’t seem so to me.
Mainly, at this point, I think it’s very important to understand what we’d be getting with Gingrich, the nominee, and Gingrich, the President.
It’s not often there is a candidate who has such a long history with voters, but who has also been out of the limelight long enough to be somewhat “new” as well.
Like someone who called Rush said, it’s like Newt is the old boyfriend you broke up with over and over because he cheated on you, then years and years later he shows up with flowers and candy and you take him back.
The next step is often WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?? (I added that.)
Palin was write and that Paul Ryan incident was vintage Bad Newt. While Ryan’s plan may deserve constructive criticism, to play right into the Left’s hands by using the words “right-wing social engineering” — think about it! “RIGHT-WING,” as if there’s something wrong with that — just at the time the plan was gaining some traction was just inexplicable and, seemingly, unforgivable.
