Who is the new Newt?
me | 11/04/08 | me

Posted on 11/04/2008 11:08:03 PM PST by HarryCaul

So who is the new Newt? Who helps the Republicans take back congress in 2010 like they did in 94? Where's the next Contract With America?

Newt had been setting 1994 up for years, who has been doing that legwork now?

Who can we help? Who do we get behind?

We need to start now, today.

I dunno, but they can count on me 100 percent!

Time to get the conservative house in order and get some payback.

If you find them let me know, because I haven't seen them.

Palin, Jindal, Pence, Steele, Petraus, but Paul Ryan is my biggest hope.

Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor and Mike Pence are the 3 I have hopes for to step it up and craft a comeback.

Thaddeus McCotter. He lead the charge against the bail-out. He is a solid conservative.

That was my first thought as well — Mike Pence with Eric Cantor — both are articulate and not afraid to stand up! They were part of the drill here, drill now.

Rush has been calling for this for a long time. You can’t construct a building without laying a good, solid foundation.

There isn't anybody really. Plus....the voters are not going to believe a Contract With America II since the Republicans did not follow through and keep Contract With America I.

Promises are not going to do it this time. Republicans are going to have to start actually doing things. Since they have no power to do things on the national scale they are going to have to do it locally and at the state level and go from the bottom up.

I think the Republicans should take a page from the British and establish a "Shadow Cabinet". Sort of like a permanent truth squad. They shouldn't do anything mean, or harp on things. Just issue releases with what they would do differently, and get into policy detail when they do. Act responsibly and seriously, as if they were governing.

The members of this "Shadow Cabinet" would get exposure in this way.

Ahhh... You’re making the big mistake.

If you want conservative leadership to advance conservatism, you need them OUTSIDE the corrupting influence of Washington DC. You need a movement NOT predicated upon personalities or individual initiatives.

You need a whole “shadow party” whose job is NOT to be a political party, but to keep the GOP on OUR side, not drifting. It needs to be a 50 state organization that raises money, vets candidates, and promotes GOOD PEOPLE to run for office, and has the people, financial, and organizational muscle to keep the GOP in line and to rally conservatives to the fight.

I have proposed this before... Not here. But it is obviously clear. Fred, God love ‘im, just started a PAC. But we don’t need a PAC. They get comfortable with being “in” in DC and that’s not what we need. We need people OUTSIDE the power structure who never forget, never give up, never become complacent and never compromise themselves to drive right thinking candidates to electoral success.

Who are our sharpest conservatives in the House and Senate? The first name that came to mind for the House was Pence, but I know him only slightly by reputation. What about that Eric Cantor. Again, don't know too much about him. The congressman from around here (St. Louis) that I know and like are my own rep, Todd Akin (MO), and John Shimkus (IL), from just across the river.

And who in the Senate (where you don't get as many real solid conservatives)?

“Pence is too liberal”

Complete nonsense, newcomer.

Governors Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal as well as Congressmen Eric Cantor and Adam Putnam (already in the leadership as Chaiman of the House Republican Conference and he’s only 32 years old!).
