Newt Gingrich

That's what I thought when I read it. Yeah, Newt's a snake, but I really want to see the neocon pundits having apoplectic fits over that article.

Snake yes, and Savage pegged him as 'The Tick' in his Political Zoo book.

Newt Gingrich had a golden opportunity to turn this country around with the Republican Revolution. He squandered that opportunity and saddled us with NAFTA.

Newt was an effective bomb thrower as a minority leader. He was able to use public anger at the check kiting scandal in 1992 to discredit the Democrats, for example.

But he himself *bombed* as a majority leader. He is a polarizing pundit, and not someone who can bring people together. Pat Buchanan has this problem too, I think.

I really wish people would stop making these threads. Newt is even more of a paper tiger than Fred Thompson is! He tried running for president once before and his support was so shallow he did not even stay in to New Hampshire, (IIRC).

In fact, I'd say that Hunter, Huckabee and Tancredo have better chances at winning the nomination than Newt Gingrich. At east they don't have all his baggage and high negatives.

Only good thing I can say about Newt at this point is that he created the term:

"Ron Paul exemption" in regards to republican congresscritters being forced to vote the party line.

since the GOP campaigned for Ron's opponent, he owed them nothing. Ron really created the term, Newt coined it.
