| Gingrich gets nod of presidential approval from unlikely source - YeAHHHeaHHHaaah! |
| 2010-07-27 |
| Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich won backing for a potential presidential bid from an unlikely place Sunday — the former head of the Democratic Party. Howard Dean, speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” would not go so far as to endorse Gingrich but said the Republican politician would provide a sorely needed “intellectual” voice in his party’s top tier. “I don’t agree with very much that Newt Gingrich wants to do, but the biggest difference is Newt has a ton of ideas to move the country forward — he did when he was speaker. There are no ideas in the Republican Party right now in the Congress. They’re the party of no,” said Dean, a former presidential candidate himself. “They desperately need some intellectual leadership. Whatever you think of Newt Gingrich, he can supply intellectual leadership, so I hope he does run.” |

| #10 Never repeat what your enemy praises you for doing. Gingrich is a loser - amoral, opportunistic, symbolic of everything that's wrong the with GOP. Remember his support of Dede Scozzofava? His commercial on the Couch with Pelosi, promoting Big Government solutions of Anthropogenic Global Warming? And who could forget his cheating on his wife, and serving her with divorce paperwork when she was in the hospital fighting cancer. Really class guy. It doesnt matter how many good ideas you can throw out there, if you fail to execute any of them. Gingrich failed to complete the actions. By many measures, Gingrich is a failure, and a poisonous one to be associated with. Sorry Newt, your time is over -- we're all stocked up on corrupt self centered opportunists in the GOP at the moment. Go away. |

| #9 We had this thread the other day. Newt is brilliant as a plotter, planner, strategy, and ideas guy. As a person and a candidate? Poison. Dump this idea. Now |

| #8 I wasn't aware Newt was considered an 'Intellectual'. A shrewd, devious, attack dog. Possibly even a dirty bastard to his enemies. But an 'Intellectual'? I guess that word doesn't quite mean what it used to. Kind of like the word 'gay'. |

| #7 He does have one point. I like some of Newt's ideas and I have no idea what the other GOP candidates want to do. |

| #5 I think you're right, they're hoping a Nod from that high up in the democratic Paty will be the same as a kiss of death for repubs. Poisioning the well, so to speak. |
