Fred to Newt: We're not 'deaf, dumb' By: Andy Barr October 27, 2009 07:20 PM EST
Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson brushed back former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Tuesday over Gingrich’s warning that the Republican Party is wrong to thrown in its lot with the Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman over Dede Scozzafava, the GOP’s candidate, in the special election in New York’s 23rd congressional district.
Gingrich has called the many prominent national Republicans – including Thompson – who have endorsed Hoffman over Scozzafava in recent days “misguided,” arguing they are making a “mistake” to back a third-party candidate over the party’s nominee.
The conservatives who back Hoffman point to Scozzafava’s support for abortion right and ties to local union leaders.
During his radio show Tuesday, Thompson said he was “sad” to hear “when a good Republican friend of mine says that I, and the other good, conservative Republicans who have endorsed Hoffman, are ‘misguided.’ And that’d be my friend, Newt Gingrich.”
“I respect Newt. He’s a friend. Done a lot of good, I think. But he endorsed Scozzafava early on. So, we have an honest disagreement in the family,” Thompson said.
But, he added, “Newt said that our support for Hoffman was a ‘purge,’ was ‘misguided,’ was—we were applying a litmus test that said if you’re not 100 percent with us than you're not with us at all. And that Scozzafava was more in step with her district and therefore we shouldn't substitute our judgment for the party elders of the district.”

Gingrich has lost any credibility he had.....
Newt’s always been a not-so-covert New World Order guy. Just another elitist who can KMA and DDRN.
ALWAYS back a third party Constitutional Conservative over a RINO.
Thank God for Fred!
When the (R) brand finally realizes no one wants to buy an inferior product anymore, maybe, just maybe they’ll start using quality ingredients and stop using tainted substitutes.
Only then will the (R) be worth purchasing again.
Fred should - theoretically - be our President. He had half my Reagan Democrat family peeled off for him.
He planned for Sarah as his VP, early on, too.
KILL ACORN.
Scuzzifavabeans is the “Third Party Candidiate” in this race. She doesn’t fit in either party, whereas Doug Hoffman fits the majority of Republicans’ idea of a Republican.
Man I wish Fred was our President.
What good does one vote for a Republican Speaker of the House do when all of her other votes, votes that affect US every day, are with the Rats?
There is ALWAYS A WILLING CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE and the RNC and NRCC SHOULD NEVER SUPPORT A RINO!!

Newt has had Potomac poisoning for years now.
I knew Reagan Democrats who loved Fred. If Fred had started earlier and Rudy, Hukabee, McCain had not been in the race.
Newt Be Gone!!!!!....... a new rinocide
The heck with Newt. If I wanted a communist I’d vote Democrat. I left the Republican party a while back. I usually vote Republican, but I WILL look at a third party candidate, and if I like what I see, I’ll go there.
Most of the Republican hierarchy would rather run a socialist and lose than run a conservative and win.
Fred Thompson bitchslapping Neut. That makes my day.
The popcorn concession is now open...
>> When the (R) brand finally realizes no one wants to buy an inferior product anymore, maybe, just maybe they’ll start using quality ingredients and stop using tainted substitutes. Only then will the (R) be worth purchasing again.
That’s a darn good way of putting it, FRiend.
Rinos ABSOLUTELY MUST GO.We cannot take this country back electing these same damn fools over and over. We need true conservatives
Can you ping the Fred list?
