Gingrich on NY-23: Conservatives have every right to be angry at me (with video)

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.

"Shame on all of you for blaming Newt, He was just an innocent bystander."

That's curious. I highlighted your entire #54 and I didn't find a hidden

I can’t criticize Sean on his Freedom Concerts - they are for college scholarships for children of fallen soldiers. Sean doesn’t make money off of them.

That I did not know, but I imagine he also sells a lot of books and other things at the same time.

Hannity is a classic example of a guy who can NOT think on his feet.

We see 'em a lot in the legal biz. Those are the lawyers who are afraid to take a case to trial. After awhile everybody knows who they are, 'cause they'll settle a case on the courthouse steps rather than try it.

Hannity tries to cover up his lack of knowledge in depth and his inability to think/talk on his feet by jabbering and yelling and talking over people. It isn't very effective.

I can't stand to listen to him. Even our local guy Neal Boortz (whom I don't particularly care for, personally) does a better job than Hannity.

The heaviest straw on the camel’s back was when Hannity’s show sold ads to GM with him talking about how wonderful the car is they gave his chauffer to drive him around in and all of it paid for with bail out money that he was against. Where are his principles? I guarantee that if Newt said abortions should be publicly funded Sean would agree and throw his Catholic teachings under the bus with Obaman’s grandma.

Rush has talent. Sean has been very lucky.

I do not like Jesse Ventura but he compared the politicians to professional wrestling. He said “They put on a show then go and have drinks together afterward.” And I add “and they laugh at the idiots who bought tickets to the show.” I’ve bought my last ticket!

YOU SAID: I am so sick and tired of the gushy melon headed “middle” that from now on I vote conservative.

I agree. I voted for Bush knowing he was more like his daddy than I allowed myself to believe. (Head in the sand) I would never vote for Gore or Kerry but I would have “wasted” my vote if I knew then what I know now. And by the way, it looks like those die hard GOP loyalists in the 23rd who voted for “scuzzy” wasted their vote. Surely they can’t say that about the Hoffman voters.

Rush is an entertainer with GOD given talent. Hannity is a snakeoil salesman with a schtick. IMHO
