"He stuck himself in the middle of a contested election in favor of a rino who was farther to the left than obama."

First of all, NOBODY is further to the left than Zero. Except, perhaps, Lucifer himself.

Secondly, the way I understand it, Newt didn't stick himself anywhere. The NRCC chose Dede. Not Newt. Newt just went along and supported the candidate that the friggin NRCC picked/chose. Blame the NRCC? That would be a damned refreshing change.

I want to know how the hell Newt went from being a conservative Republican hero/icon to being, according to you and a few others here, a RINO. I want to get to the bottom of this and if it turns out that you guys are unfairly attacking him or blaming HIM (which is exactly what it's looking like to me so far), I want to know what the REAL reason is. Cause so far, all I've heard is BS and lame@ss accusations.

Excuse me but the last time I checked, we are allowed opinions whether you like them or not.

Is there a newt thread somewhere you could maybe visit? This ain’t a newt thread.
BUT what is it about calling conservatism dead, being a global warming supporter, supporting a candidate who coddles pedophiles and votes in favor of gay marriage don’t you understand?
What is it about going on Hannity and saying we had a right to be angry, and two days later he was defending scozzafava again has escaped your attention?
Did you also misss his dissing of Rush? I mean, come on. He has become what he campaigned against before he became what HE considers the defacto party leader and an elitist to boot. If we don’t follow HIS pearls of wisdom, WE are just the great,stupid, unwashed. Newt was a man for his time. His time has passed. Now he is seeking relevancy, and even if he is wrong, provably so, he defends his wrongness by calling everyone who disagrees with him wrong.
It’s sad.

The NRCC did NOT choose Scozzy. She was chosen by the eleven county chairs in the district who were chosen by the grassroots Republicans in the area. The NRCC had nothing to do with it.

It was strictly a local event.
