“Why don’t you get out before you make a bigger fool of yourself?”

Newt Meets the Voters

Newt Gingrich’s first stop in Iowa since announcing his presidential bid wasn’t so smooth, if this Fox News footage is any indication.

IOWAN: What you just did to Paul Ryan is unforgivable.

GINGRICH: I didn’t do anything to Paul Ryan.

IOWAN: Yes, you did. You undercut him…. you’re an embarrassment to our party.

GINGRICH: I’m sorry you feel that way.

IOWAN: Why don’t you get out before you make a bigger fool of yourself?

Newt handled it as well as he could. He made a mistake in calling out Paul Ryan; it served no constructive purpose. He should apologize to Rep. Ryan and continue on with his campaign because, whether he wins the nomination or not, no one can convey the conservative message like Newt.

I am personally SHOCKED, disgusted, and very disappointed.

How can ANYONE claim to be a conservative and then back a govt mandatory purchase program.

HE BLEW IT COMPLETELY.
This was no gaffe. It was a revelation

Video description:
"Attention all "conservatives," Tea Partiers, and RINOs: if you think Newt Gingrich is truly a "conservative" Republican in the traditional sense of Constitution-based, limited government and interested in maintaining American sovereignty - think again! This video shows just who Newt Gingrich really is in his own words, actions and voting records.

Analyzing the voting record and actions of former Congressman Newt Gingrich show his true motivations. Updated video from a June 1996 presentation by JBS President John F. McManus. (2009ed, 33 min., DVD)"
FWIW . . .JBS=John Birch Society

Also recall his alliance with Pelosi in this 'climate change' video . . .

Progressive through and through.
