#1 Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich won backing for a potential presidential bid from an unlikely place Sunday -- the former head of the Democratic Party.

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

#3 sorely needed "intellectual" voice in his party's top tier

Well the Democrap Party needs an American, voice asshole. Oops, sorry, ass-hole, I keep forgetting it has a hyphen.

#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.

#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.

#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'.

#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

#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.
