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.

Newt was the Speaker, ok that’s one. He came up with Contract with America and won a bunch of seats, that’s 2. What’s he done since? Where did everyone come to the conclusion he was the brains behind the RNC?
He hasn’t won anything lately, other than contracts to bloviate on Fox News.
There is no way we can reverse course and elect leaders who support Conservative principles by endorsing liberals. If that’s too hard for Newt to understand, maybe we know the reason he hasn’t won anything in a long long time.
LOL, I got the same call on Sat morning, just 10 minutes before the news broke that the RINO had dropped out. I told them the same thing, and added that Newt was on the wrong side of history and to take my name and number off their list.

I guess Newt doesn't dare call ANYWHERE in the 6th district of Georgia.
We know him far too well.
Caller would have gotten a serious earful from me. I have had my bellyful of Newt.
I caught that. I wanted to reach through the radio and slap his face. I’m SICK of these elitists (both sides).
Newt was also the guy who WJ Clinton played like a cheap fiddle and he had to keep his mouth shut during the Lewinsky scandal because he was also having an affair at the time. Why Hannity continues to prop this fool up is beyond me.
Ross Perot, who is hated by many here, was admonished for saying he’d fire anyone he knew was cheating on his wife. He was asked about it in an interview and his reply was “If your wife can’t trust you how can I trust you?”
I also heard the story of him taking some employees to Luby’s where he was going to announce one of the employee’s promotion. Going throught the line Perot saw the guy hide a few pats of butter under his plate. Instead of a promotion Perot fired him.
Too late Newt, you have now exposed yourself to everyone now. Now, just go slink away and cheat on still another wife, you fat pasty troll.
Newt is the poster child for "Party uber Alles" politicians. He is one of those who have too much invested in the status quo of the political system does not see Washington DC as the problem. He can no longer differentiate between America and the government apparatus.
Hannity is a motor mouth. I wish someone would figure the average amount of time his callers get to talk before he starts talking over them then goes to the next caller. I can’t stand to listen to him. And with nose up Newt’s butt...that makes it even worse. Talk about elitism.
:O)
Newt apologized, the RINO died.
Newt, kiss my grits!
Hannity is the conservative pundit I would most like to see go away. He is SO non-intuitive. I swear he rehearses his arguments.
They have utter contempt for the ‘regular, hard-working Joe’.
They get it. Most the people of this country are uninformed, uninvolved or unsophisticated. Those people stayed home Tuesday and have a better than 50% chance of swallowing any amount of crap these people can legislatively stuff into a sandwich. Although they govern said robots, it’s us active/voting citizens they have to answer to.
They still believe in this moderate middle mumbo jumbo.
I am so sick and tired of the gushy melon headed “middle” that from now on I vote conservative. If that means we lose and the rats destroy this country than so be it! I have tried compromising and it got me nowhere over and over again. I would rather go down a patriot conservative than suffer the slow rotting death as a “moderate’.
Newt can go sell insurance, he. seams to be good only for calculating risk any way.
Rant/off
Hannity?
Please tell me he did not support the RINO over the conservative.
Self serving dolt.
The best thing to have come out of tuesday’s events is that Newt is history. Few have done as much damage to the party as Newt. RIP
