Thanks Tick.

Hope after Tuesday FOXNews and other commentators would stop giving air-time and TV face time to Newt. He’s so yesterday.

[timydnuc]

I heard Rush today. He explained the Conservative party in New York. They vote Republican when the candidate is a conservative. When they have a problem with a RINO they nominate their own candidate, and run on that.

That's not a bad strategy. It could be national. But, we have to close our own primaries. In every state we should close our primaries to assure conservatives get our votes counted. The Dems and the liberals come in to spoil our primaries, and that's wrong but it's the ACORN way. Only we can change that.

Change the primary system in your state and you can change elections. Yes, you do have the power!

Newt, where in God’s name were you on 9/12 ?
Drinking Tea while watching NBC ?
A million Conservatives showed up on 9/12.
What’s it gonna take to get your attention ? WHAT ?!
He’ a DC autistic Squirrel gathering ACORNs.

[goodnesswins]

They even coordinated their clothes for that picture....sheesh.

[Danae]

Right on FRED!

The GOP Doesn’t get it. They left US. We are looking for candidates who represent US, not the GOP. That may well mean that the Conservative Party takes over from the GOP, and the GOP may well die. It would not be the first time in U.S. history that a once strong party disappeared. Need I say Whigs? Hum?

Different circumstances yes, but a big part of the people who make up the grassroots are SICK of the GOP doing what IT wants rather than what WE want.

Enough is ENOUGH. The GOP has screwed us darn near as bad as the DNC. Time to vote cor candidates that represent the people. NOT a party.

[Achilles Heel]

The Dems and the liberals come in to spoil our primaries==deliberately. Knowing full well that McCain wasn’t our real choice...the media went full blast for him over any other nominee.

Newt is irrelevant...

[jwparkerjr]

I think Newt is like the old fighter who took so many blows to the head that he finishes out his life being described as “punch drunk”. I honestly think he took such a beating at the hands of the Left and the MSM that it has addled his brain. And it really hurts to say that. I was among his staunchest supporters back in the days of “The Contract with America”. But he sure did take a beating those days, unlike any politician in my lifetime. Like that outrageous releasing of his cell phone conversation with other Republican leaders when he was up on charges before the ethics gurus of Congress. It was just so patently an obvious example of illegal wiretapping, pure and simple. It should have resulted in a RICO prosecution for everyone involved, starting with the granddad that made the tape and continuing right through to the congress critter that released it to the press.

Sadly, I fear he’s on the Jimmy Carter path to irrelevance.

[plain talk]

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

If all that was true I would agree with Newt. I generally don't want to give elections to dems by supporting independents that haven't a prayer nor do I buy into conservative purism because I am pragmatic. But that is not what we have here. Here we have a conservative that seems to have a chance of winning and is worthy of a chance. So let's let the NY voters decide.

I (heart) Fred!

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?

When asked, she wouldn't even commit to saying she would vote for Boehner over Pelosi for Speaker

[jaz.357]

Scozzafava?

Don't they have an ointment for that?

[Logical me]

At first I gave Newt the benefit of the doubt. Changed my mind. He is misguided and a turncoat. He wasn’t concerned at splitting the Party, he really wants Dede Scozzafava.

">> 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."

2BL BUMP!!!!!

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.”

Careful, Fred. The average Ruskie doesn't take a dump without a plan. :-)

[samtheman]

Gingrich Loves Pelosi

Change the primary system in your state and you can change elections.

We'd better! Else I foresee the nightmare: 0bama announces he wants another term, absolutely nobody in his party dares to oppose him, and by nightfall the Dem voters are stampeding to change their registrations to R so they can vote for Anybody But Palin.

Even a politically damaged 0bama would be nominated by acclamation. The Dem voters will be encouraged to help him win by selecting the most feeble, lackluster RINO-Republican opponent...unless we start changing the rules NOW.

[spodefly]

Newt stepped in it with his endorsement of the RINO, and rather than change his shoes and walk away, he is intent on flinging poo all over everyone who looks more carefully where they were going ...
