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.
A savior? You mean the hildebeast in NY?... That's what the majority of voters will perceive if Newt is successful in denigrating the Bush Administration. Frankly, I don't think Bush has done a bad job, and I don't actually think Newt is trying to portray such for political posturing. Of all other things, realize that Newt loves this country far more than democ rats do.
Yes. So obvious, in fact, that it makes him immensely unattractive. He looks more like a weasel than someone I want to see in the Oval Office.
Newt is even more distateful than mclame. Newt is finished... even as a pundit.

What part of "Bush blew the 2006 election" do you not understand? Bush and Rove are where the buck stops.
If only Bush and his cohorts had the talent to "Talk Up" the administration's real success, we wouldn't be in this mess. Which is not to say that Newt is doing the right thing.
Talking Bush down only adds fuel to a fire that is only going to warm Democrats. Yeah GW is in zombie-land at the moment, but Newt is certainly not forced to point this out. And after all, what 8-year president didn't go on a long slide in his remaining "lame-duckness?"
LOL - I think you're right. Gingrich, while a conservative, is also a die hard polititian. Conservatism is more a way of life (to me anyway) than a political persuasion. Conservatives don't change and go into hand wringing mode just because democrats occupy a few more seats in Congress. I'm more optimistic with fewer RINO's stinkin' up the place anyhow.
-OR- make some sense of republican nonsense.. ANY sense would be welcome.. even if partially correct.. Newt is the closest thing this republic has to anything(electable) thats RIGHT WING.. Literally ALL other prospective (electable) republican candidates are left wing.. Some republicans are WAY left wing.. including the White RINO House..
Newt is the only game in town.. And with Ann Coulter as Campaign Manager he might WIN, 2008.. In that scenario any debates and TV appearances would be delicious.. Simply scrumcious.. Hyperbole would not be needed.. The democrat take over of Congress is hyperbolic enough.. Just speaking the TRUTH (about it) would be hyperbolic..
Really, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid choosing Committee Chairmen?.. May may... and George Bush assuming "the Position" for two years.. The comedy (if presented correctly) would delicious.. Americans love a good laugh even if a zinger is inserted.. Ann is the maven of zingers and Newt can deliver them accuratly.. win, win...
