Newt Gingrich goes nuclear: May enter race to foil 'pygmies'

Newt just called Hunter pathetic and a pygmy. I highly doubt Hunter would ever agree to be on a ticket with Newt or even allow him to shine his shoes. Newt has jumped the shark and burned way too many bridges now.

[Perdogg]

I think he should either run, or be quiet.

Newt did buy into Global warming with Al Gore and shared a stage with him. With calling leading Republicans pathetic and pygmies, Newt has jumped the shark and burned too many bridges now. This will come back to haunt Newt because he will feel the cold shoulder in many conservative circles and should. Newt is the pathetic one that has NO CLASS.

I see him as a VP possibility.

It’s hard to imagine a stampede of takers for “Dear pygmy, lemme be your veep.”

Just thought I would clear that up for you. Glad I could help.

Ha. Why don't you just puff up your chest and prematurely declare yourself the victor.

You're either ignorant or delusional. It's your choice. You decide. You can cure your ignorance by watching the video links below.

Politicians are among the most dishonest people. That you can't see that Newt is one of them is well,... well, that's your problem -- not mine. Deal with it. Or don't. It makes no difference to me.

Here's three YouTube links for anyone that wants to know Newt's position on global warming.

Newt and Fred T - poop or get off the pot.

In Texas we say: “He’s all hat and no horse.”

[plain talk]

good point.

[plain talk]

Kemp doesn’t have a 1/4 the mind or guts of Newt.

[no dems]

I see him as a VP possibility. He would absolutely shred Obama.

Oh my gosh. The very thought of that almost makes me feel sorry for Obama.

[ClarenceThomasfan]

I can’t believe this. First people here turn on President Bush and now they have negative posts against Newt. Sometimes I feel like I am lurking at DU.

[tobyhill]

Newt is exactly right, these Republican candidates are really getting me nauseated.

What about Hunter/Newt?

I think Newt would be a good #2 man for Hunter, Fred Thompson, Mike Huckabee or Tom Tancredo. The GOP needs his political mind in the mix for '08.

[jrooney]

I meant shard a stage with Kerry, not Gore. Sorry my error.

Well, past Presidents have chosen running mates who were not very kind to them during the Primary process; e.g. Reagan chose George H. W. Bush and Kennedy picked LBJ, whom he and Bobby despised.

It can happen.

[jrooney]

I agree about past presidents. I do not remember any of them calling their opponents “pathetic or a pygmy” though. Newt has burned some serious bridges here. If Newt was chosen to run on the GOP ticket, the left, move on and the democratic opponent would use Newt’s own words against him and his ticket like a club to beat them down. It would work too. Newt has no class. He would be wise to use these types of words against the democrats running for the presidency. They are the enemy.

[GOPJ]

I’ll vote for Newt.

[indcons]

What about a Newt/Hunter or Hunter/Newt ticket?
