Newt may be no conservative, either.
Thank you for acknowledging what some of us have long known. The “Gingrich is the true Conservative” meme is bogus.
But the GOP establishment clearly hates him, so for now the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The fact of the matter is that Gingrich has been an inside-the-beltway Washington insider for a long time, which is something that he doesn’t deny. In fact, he repeatedly talks about his time in Washington while trying to equate himself with Ronald Reagan. The “establishment” hates Gingrich? Gingrich IS the establishment. No, it’s not “hatred” of Gingrich that motivates many of the leaders of the party. It’s his obvious unelectability that is troubling.
If Newt wins the presidency, Lord only knows which direction he’ll run off in.
More brutal honesty. That’s more like it! That’s why he’s unelectable.
But if he reaches into the RNC’s mouth all the way to his shoulder, grabs its tail, and yanks it back all the way through its teeth, I say, payback is a pregnant lady dog. It is not good for a party to anger its base.
So now we get to the heart of the matter. It’s not about defeating Obama in the general election. It’s about some sort of weird vendetta against the leaders of our own side. Apparently the pathological obsession with “going rogue” is what’s most important to Gingrich supporters.
