Does Newt think the republican leadership (or anyone else) is going to listen to him?
At least he’s saying it. And he’s completely right: they have the majority, but they’re acting like whipped puppies.

They SHOULD listen to him. He’s RIGHT. It was the GOP that tossed Newt out of the House. Tom DeLay and others.
And if Mittens was as angry and vendictive to Obama as he was to Newt and the others - HE’d be prez right now. But NOooooooo.
That’s another thing - totally off topic. WHY is Mittens going to lunch with The Won? Sickening.
Rush is saying the exact same thing right now. STOP negotiating.

You and I are or we wouldn’t be commenting on this thread. Too bad the House Republicans won’t listen to the voice of experience instead of cowering before Obama.

Yes, they should, because he’s right!
Further - getting a "grip" would involve growing a backbone, which none of the GOP in CONgress seem to be interested in.
What they don't seem to want to accept:
If no deal is reached, and the nation plunges over the fiscal cliff - Republicans will be blamed. Period (Facts mean nothing).
If any deal is reached, every capitulation the GOP gives will be used against them in the next election. GOP loses no matter what.
So - since Republicans are going to be on the losing end no matter what, how about they grow a backbone and stand up for what is right. They literally have NOTHING to lose. But the USA has everything to gain.
