Guy Molinari, the Republican power broker and former Staten Island Beep, ripped Newt Gingrich as unfit to be president yesterday — a day before the front-running GOP candidate was set to attend a Tea Party rally in the borough.
At least 600 people are expected to pack the Staten Island Hilton Garden Inn today to hear Gingrich speak at a 2 p.m. town-hall meeting.
But Molinari, who served with Gingrich in Congress and supports Mitt Romney, rained on the former House speaker’s parade.
“God help us if Newt Gingrich is elected president. I won’t vote for him. I love my country too much,” Molinari said.
Molinari, head of New Yorkers for Romney, said he had found Gingrich to be untrustworthy.
He said that Gingrich, as House GOP leader, broke his word and bumped him from a committee assignment.
“It happened to so many others. How do you trust a guy like that? What kind of trust would he get from other parts of the world?” Molinari said.
Gingrich brushed off the remarks.
“We focus on solutions, not critics,

God help us is right. And I sure as hell won’t vote for Romney! If Newt is the Romney killer, so be it.

Ummmm, okay, if he says so. Why are they reporting this Romney advisor’s opinion as being something of importance? Of course, he doesn’t support Newt.
It’s Bachmann by default now, for me. I’m not terribly enthusiastic about it though. How did we wind up with such a sorry a$$ field of candidates? Any of them except Romney/Huntsman/Paul, I could vote for, just can’t work up any enthusiasm.
Neither Moe nor his daughter nor her husband can put New York into the Republican column in the 2012 elections nor are they powerful enough to keep it out of the Republican column if the Republican ticket clicks with the voters in New York.
I wouldn’t waste much time listening to Guy “Smiley” Molinari.
Will NEVER vote for Romney.
Molinari has exposed himself in the class with Rove.
Molinari gets to be a “Republican powerbroker” in a state and city party that not so long ago welcomed Mike Bloomberg.
BTW, the usually reliable NY Post is not to be trusted when it has its mind on Romney.
Here we go.
Rinos in Congress hate Newt as much as the Socialists.
Hang on - this is going to be a grudge match - literally!
lol
That's d*mn near poetical.
Gingrich didn't give me the committee assignment I wanted 15 years ago, so he's unfit today?

Barring an historic comeback by one of the Remaining candidates, Gingrich is now the "not Romney" candidate. Throw all of Cain's support over to Bachmann, and she's still not on the same page with the two frontrunners.
Guy Molinari = disgruntled loser.
At least Newt and Romney are not closet Muslims doing eveything they can to destroy our country. Getting rid of Obama has to be job one!!!
They’ve both got to be put out of our misery.
Romney appeals to a lot of local Republicans (for example Molinari and Christie) because they find it hard to even imagine that there are polar opposites to states like NY & NJ.
HEY NEWT! GET OFF MY LAWN!
-PJ
I will not vote for Newt, Mitt, Paul or Huntsman.
Perry, Bachmann, or Santorum. Yes.
Actually the Cuomos are more like the Landrieus of NY.
The most important thing is that you vote for whomever the Republicans choose to run against Milhous in the general election.
