If America needs Newt it’s in far worse trouble than any of us believed.

“he thinks “Obama loves America” but has “a different idea of what America is.”

Is he insane? That filthy Kenyan POS has not one bit of love for this country!

Old Newt has jumped the shark AND the Fonz. Out of touch to the extreme.

Well, Newt, you’ve just engineered yourself out of the possibility of getting even close to the nomination. And, I used to have a lot of respect for you. But, 1994 and 1995 is a long time ago. You’re no longer in the running, so, say goodnight and save yourself the money and trouble of running for the republican nomination.

Newt, IMHO is a politician and as such is dream-eyed at having power. Anything that doesn’t help accrue money and power (i.e., cap & trade) to Washington will be fought any way possible.

Cap & Trade, just another political euphemism for a tax. Just get the money and we can call it anything we want, but not a tax. Politician believe that the citizens are gullible and will never think of it as a tax if we are lied to enough.

Newt is a smart man, I will give him that. He also writes good books, novels ... even though they are not smooth and easy reads. He may even be a good historian, however he maybe one historian who hasn’t learned from the past.

Newt should continue writing and enjoying that job for as long as he can. Only other RINO’s or liberals would take him seriously.

I should think we could all agree after this that Newt Gingrich is about as necessary a candidate as Romney, and close the book on them both.

Now, now.....Newt’s too busy screwing other people (ex-wives, interns etc) to “eff” himself.

Ryan has the right idea.

In order to save Medicare Advantage and Social Security, these entitlement programs need to be reformed.

By taking hard steps and difficult choices now, those programs could be salvaged.

If it were up to democrats, these programs would not be touched at all and then they would go bankrupt and then everybody on them would be affected, seniors included.

I have already eliminated my support for Gingrich, Romney, Trump, Pawlenty and Paul.

That does not leave very many left standing.

I am holding our for Cain and Bachmann.

The longer politicians spend in Washington with the Ivy Leaguers and power brokers, the more their brains turn to mush. That’s how the Newt of 1994 transformed into this jackass.

GINGRICH: well, i agree that all of us have a responsibility to help pay for health care. and i think there are ways to do it that make most libertarians relatively happy. i have said consistently we ought to have some requirement that you either have health insurance or you post a bond, or in some way, you indicate you’re going to be held accountable.

GREGORY: but that is the individual mandate, is it not?

GINGRICH: it’s a variation on it.

GREGORY: so you won’t use that issue against Mitt Romney?

GINGRICH: no
