Bad Move, Newt!
Gingrich: Liberal Republican ‘dramatically better’ than Democrat
New York Republican congressional candidate DeDe Scozzafava not only has the backing of Planned Parenthood and The Daily Kos, but her campaign has also received financial endorsements from the Republican National Committee and Republican leaders such as House Minority Leader John Boehner, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich
Gingrich recently said Scozzafava’s election could be the start of a “new Republican Revolution” that mirrors the “1994 Republican Revolution.” On the Andrew Wilkow Show Wednesday, Gingrich explained his endorsement of Scozzafava.
“She’s dramatically better than the Democrat. She’s not the person I would have nominated [and] she’s not the person who fits my values 100 percent, but she is a heck of a lot better than the liberal Democrat,” stated Gingrich. “And if you want to have a conservative majority in Washington, part of that majority’s going to make you uncomfortable.”
I honestly cannot see how such a DIABLO (Democrat In All But Label Only) would aid in either mirroring the ’94 ‘revolution’ (which they screwed up royally) or having anything close to a conservative majority. If Mr Gingrich was honestly concerned about putting conservatives into office, why did he not endorse the only actual conservative who is in the race? The only explanation I can think of….it’s all about the party, NOT the principles, and that just will NOT do!
He discussed this on Hannity the other day. I was surprised he’s supporting her, too, but his explanation seemed to make sense.
A day or 2 ago I saw some site, don’t remember who now, but they were touting Newt and Palin in 2012… Got me to thinking… WTF would I do in Australia?
My GOD… Northwoods Barbie and the biggest RINO since John McCain…
Did no one learn ANYTHING since the last election?
Reckon not Fred. sigh….
You can visit Newt’s website and see his explanation in person. And if you’re so inclined, leave a comment.

The comments are great! He’s getting a much deserved smack down. Heh. His so called explanation rings false. Evidently, he wasn’t paying attention on 9/12.
