People are buzzing about this online but I’m not sure why. “I regret deeply that she was chosen,” he says of Scozzafava in an apparent reversal of his prior support. Except it’s not a reversal: He admitted to Andrew Wilkow way back on October 21 that she’s not the person he would have nominated. His endorsement was always strategic, to support Republican leaders at the local level and dissuade third-party challenges next year.

Why Republicans in a district where there’s no primary should defer to party leaders instead of rallying behind their preferred candidate is a question left unanswered, but that may be because it’s unasked. Ah well.

And did he actually vote for the 87 billion before he voted against it?

Buh-bye, Newt. Enjoy your immense amounts of FAIL. You’re TOAST to me.

[HangnJudge]

Newt needs to stay out of the way now...

[Frantzie]

Don’t buy the serial divorcee and adulterer’s confessions. He lied to his 4 wives - he will lie to you.

Go to h*ll Newt. We needed NY-23 and people like you caused us to lose it.

The only job Newt is qualified for:

Look at me - look at me!

He needs to just shut the hell up and go away. Maybe he could just switch parties and embarrass the rats for a while.

I just received a recorded call from Newt with a one question push poll. His message was that he was “deeply” (I'm getting tired of him using that focus group tested word) troubled by the Obama big government agenda and wanted me to contribute to a media campaign to stop this. WHen the person came on the line to ask me if I agreed with Newt I let her know that her organization needed to get a different spokesman. I told her that I am not giving a dime to any organization that Newt is fronting because is completely disingenuous. I told her that when Newt endorsed Scozzafava he endorsed a big government, and the same kind of tax and spend politician he was asking my money to fight, so he didn't live up to his own message. I further told her that Newt put party and self interest ahead of the country and that put me off anything he was trying to do.

We aims to please...

It’s not your good heart that’s in question here, Newt. It’s your judgment. It can’t be trusted.
