Alas, the supposedly “brilliant”, Newt “Our country must take action to address climate change” Gingrich, ever in search of more attention, has thrown his overly-large hat into the Republican primary ring.
I want him out. ASAP.
To that end, I want to remind everyone (and their mother) how willingly this tool cooperated with Satan’s concubine herself to push the falsehood that is man-made global warming; and worse, that we need to DO something about it. (Can you tell I’m still hacked-off about it?)
He has lent what credibility he had and, by proxy, the conservative name to Democrats’ thinly-veiled attempt to grab power over every conceivable facet of the economy, destroying the American way of life and delivering the socialist “Utopia” they so long for.
What’s not to love?
This shameless act of populist pandering at the expense of everything conservatives stand for should automatically and unequivocally disqualify Newt (real name Rebecca?) from not only running for the Republican nomination, but from calling himself a Republican or conservative to begin with. Don’t get me wrong! I believe in a big Republican tent, but there are certain core principles that are uttely unacceptable and non-negotiable — government control over every facet of life being foremost among them. Which is precisely what the “global warming” fraud exists to bring about.
So, he’s got to go.
I think the image is a good start, but Newt & Nancy need a clever campaign slogan. Perhaps a twist on something they say in the video? Or on the meaningless, asinine campaign slogan he’s already chosen– one which is also already identified with Obama. It’s up to you! We’re aiming for short, sweet, and devastatingly snarky.
Batters up!
Update (via Doug Powers): Newt now claims the commercial for Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection was not an endorsement of liberal ideas, but a debate…or something.

How about, “We’re out of gas, but you can’t afford gas anyway!”

Comment by WisconsinCheese May 13, 2011 @ 5:20 pmPersonally, I’m happy that Newt sees climate change as a real phenomenon, but I don’t like him personally, and I think that his willingness to back ethanol subsidies is a good litmus test of his willingness to bend principles if it will help him win in Iowa.
So, here’s a few suggested campaign slogans:
“Give Newt the boot!”
“Newt: the Gingrich who loves [a] mistress” (with apologies to Dr. Seuss)
“Whatever you fancy, it’s Newt and Nancy — America’s corporate welfare queens!”
But, wait, his own web site (www.newt.org) provides the best one:
“Together we will … WTF?!”
