WIP Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Seriously this is how bad they are. Newt thinks their needs to be a Third party. Sounds like the Reformers in Canada. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/...-party-in-2012/ I heard part of an interview where he makes this announcement. Just the fact that he is getting media attention again means that the Republicans are so short on leadership candidates, that they'll even consider retreading Newt. Seriously, after he was forced to resign as House Leader, he couldn't get any Republicans to listen to him. I remember him calling up Rush Limbaugh's show early on in Bush's first term, and Limbaugh cut him off and dumped him after two minutes. I wouldn't take his call for a third party seriously! He is just trying to ingratiate himself with the religious right -- a group he lost when it was found out that he was having an affair on his 2nd wife during the time he was prosecuting Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Now, he's blaming big business Republicans for losing sight of conservative values and allowing government spending to explode during the Bush Administration. A couple of years ago, when he put his toe in the water to test his chances as a presidential candidate, he refused to blame Bush or the Republican congressional leaders for the deficit spending. Now, it's too little, too late! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
