I am disappointed in Newt. He’s so much better than this.

Never understood the appeal Gingrich had here on FR. Yes, he says conservative things, but he’s a lifetime Beltway insider who has enriched himself on the public dole, part of the problem that we need to fix. Callista leaves me cold.

Absolutely. Got most of it from a post on FB and then sent it out on Twitter. It is a hit.

Those on Twitter need to hammer home what a ‘slut’ Fluke is, especially during the DNC convention.

No doubt she is, but right now she does not seem like a very good speaker. Looks like she is just reading.

It just dawned on me......they are trying to keep Newt on a short leash and by allowing the Mrs. on stage with him, he’s neutered (not to make such a sharp point). She’s the boss so and so it went.
It’s too bad. Newt could really do us some good.

Newt would’ve done better had his wife not been up there with him. He had energy, but she really didn’t - kinda came off flat.

Tweet: Guest speaker RNC=Clint Eastwood. Guest speaker DNC=Sandra Fluke. One kicks ass, one gives up ass.

One provides good paying jobs, the other provides, ah, "good feeling" jobs....

Well I’ve also met her and I didn’t think she was all that lovely.

Well, they predictably wasted Gingrich. He should’ve been out there by himself, and let him cut loose on the Democrat party and its pet media.

Team Romney has put the muzzle on the speakers.

Notice Sarah Palin’s complete absence?

Newt and Callisa followed the Reagan Legacy. It was timed and scripted that way on purpose.
