..it sure sounds like Newt is running...
Pretty clear, here, that Newtster is seeking to "talk down" any success Bush might have in the last two years so as to make a "savior" necessary.
Abolish the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals,
Can't happen
make English the official U.S. language,
Won't happen
and praise US Airways, in the form of a congressional resolution, for its tough stand against six Muslim imams who behaved like terrorists on a recent flight.M
McCain, Specter and Miss Graham will vote against it.
I'd have more respect for Gingrich if he'd run against the Democrats instead of Bush.
Newt's right, if Rove doesn't know it was a lack of representatives being actually conservative--not RINO, and immigration that lost these elections (and illegals and the dead voting)...then, Mr. Rove (as much as I admire you) you do need to go back to the private sector.

Its because about 1/1000 of the electorate voted for the Dems over the Republicans in several close races.
he is dead right about Rove.
Craig Shirley's book on Reagan's 76 campaign is excellent and required reading for all conservatives.
It should be on the RINO'sbanned book list, however.
It is also a timely book, as we are basically where we were in 1974. The problem is, there is no Reagan on the horizon to sweep out Hillary in 2012.
(Or even Jimmy...he's eligible for a second term, after all....Incidentally, Gerald Ford is also eligible. Hell, why don't we just nominate him in 08? I'd vote for him over McCain.)
President Bush could fall off his bike, go into a coma and be unconcious for the rest of his term... and it would still be head and shoulders better than Carters's.
What advice would Gingrich offer Bush and Republicans? He named three bold moves he would take: Abolish the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, make English the official U.S. language, and praise US Airways, in the form of a congressional resolution, for its tough stand against six Muslim imams who behaved like terrorists on a recent flight.... OK., so, I am forced to admit that these are good ideas ...
If the President follows the Baker commission's proposals (at least as reported so far) his approval rating will fall down into the teens-the hawks will desert him en masse and deservedly so. It will be a disaster for the Republican party from which it will take years to recover. The Dems will use the war as a cudgel to beat up Republicans and the media will help (both are already doing so now, but it will get worse). Right now it looks pretty bleak.
As long as the pepublican party acts like democrat lite they will lose and deservadly so.
What ever happened to smaller govt. is better govt.?
Oh yeah, Mr. Bush threw that into the toilet.
In many ways... the defeat on November 7th returned us back to 1974. If no conservative agenda emerges from the ashes of that debacle between now and and the 2008 Primary... we'll come in second for the 2008 election.
Since I don't believe that anyone in a leadership position will ever come right out and say, "islam is the enemy", I don't see what this "third campaign" stuff is all about. If we refuse to identify the enemy, we cannot win the war.
Personally, I don't like Newt Gingrich and don't think he should run. IMO, he's a loose cannon and we can do better.
Accurate assessment. Thank you no-shows.
I wish he would lead a new Reagan Conservative Republican movement.
We need someone like Newt. He does not wavier on his conservatism or the Constitution.
