Because standing up to Reality and denying it has been working SO WELL for the Republicans….

As long as they keep denying the truth to themselves and keep deceiving themselves about what THEY think the citizens of this country want, the rest of us will continue to get the job done without them.

…and furthermore…someone above reminded me, as Rachel Maddow and Thomas Frank have pointed out, should ideologues who do not believe in government be allowed to run governmnent? Obviously we can’t legislate this away but again, as Americans become more informed Gingrich and friends will simply not have a place at the table.

Do you think they just need to play down the loss or is it just their way of playing down Obama’s skin color? I wonder because what does Gingrich mean ‘this was not an ideological victory?’ We are in an ideological battle here in America with Gingrich, Palin and even Limbaugh representing the ideology that will see and end to the dream and true ideology of America. Their greatest enemy is the American citizen informed and educated and awake. As long as they maintain their media lead they can attempt to bamboozle Americans. This war is not over folks.

What crap! Universal health care isn’t “liberal”? Reagan thought Medicare/Medicaid was a “socialistic” plot to destroy “democracy as we know it.” Tuition remission in exchange for public service isn’t liberal? Kennedy gave Peace Corps & Vista volunteers $2,000 a year for their public service, not a living wage even then. And, post-Bush/McCain, even progressive taxation (i.e., the rich pay more) is “liberal.” Andrew Sullivan — not exactly a great mind, in my estimation — thinks it’s wrong, wrong, wrong. Financial backing for green industry isn’t liberal? Conservatives are still denying global warming.

Sorry, Newt, Peggy & little Billy Kristol. Except for your friends in Appalachia, this country is turning blue. I think ThinkProgress has already published the county-by-county map that proves that, but in case I’m wrong, it appears under Election Results! on RealityChex.com — and the map on the way young people voted on the front page of RealityChex.com should be a real eye-opener for the wingers — not that they have any intention of opening their eyes and seeing the light.

Wasn’t it primarily Gringrich who lead them into the wilderness in the first place? And they can claim the country is any cardinal direction they want, even up-side-down and inside-out, but that doesn’t change the fact that people are concerned about things Republicans just don’t care about.

I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. And, by my calculations, they’ve still got another 25 years to go of wandering aimlessly in the desert. Chop chop, Newt!

Maybe by 2012 Newt will have figured out who destroyed the sanctity of his marriages.

The REPUBLICANS, not the Conservatives believe that the U.S. government can never work, as the people IN government are only out to keep themselves in power. That is why they wish to shrink gov till it fits in a bathtub and then drown. Listen to that. They wish to kill the U.S. Government. And no I do NOT take it as a euphemism. After watching Cheney/Bush do exactly that for these last 8 years, we can now, without a shadow of a doubt say that REPUBLICANS are traitors. PERIOD. Conservatives need to feel threatened by this, and they should compelled to cleave from this Religous Right run retarded party. Let the Religicon go off and commune in Alaska with Palin, as she is NO conservative. A windfall profits tax on oil and direct payments to citizens, yeah real conserative. And the rest of the country should ONLY discuss and ebate with the Conservatives that are left. Newt is a Religicon.
ANd why does the oil in Alasks only “belong” to the citiznes of Alaska. Is that ANYWHERE else in our country. Does the oil in Texas only belong to Texas? Why have we ALL not shared in those direct payments from Palin????

Newt was another of the free-market cheerleaders and I doubt he has any new ideas just remakes of the old ones.

Kind of makes one wish that python had done us all a favor when it was around Gingrich’s neck. *sigh*

The real facts about Newtie for those with a short memory are found at http://www.realchange.org/gingrich.htm

The republican party needs an extreme makeover but they don’t have anybody to draw from. The real stalwarts of the party have passed away. The only one’s left are the charlatons like Newtie. They only reason he didn’t run this time is his corrupt past is just a closet door away.

Their problem is Reagan’s mantra “Never speak ill of your fellow republican.” In the meantime all the rogues took over and nobody spoke up. Now the party is littered with crooks and neo-con idiots. Can anyone help this party with a honored past without a solid leader? It is definately not Newtie. If they exhault him they have not learned a penny’s worth of mush and are back to square one.

Can I point out, that Moses died before leading the Isrealites out of the desert. Just a thought. I mean God did demand that Moses would see the holy land, but would never step foot in the holy land.

Great! The family values party running a serial adulterer! I hope his first wife–the one he dumped while she was in the hospital recovering from cancer surgery–will be around to give interviews should Newt run.
Or perhaps Mr. No-facts meant Grandma Moses. Does anyone know if Newt paints?

Maybe a moron like you finds your delusions funny. To me it is a desperate cry for help. I assume that help will involve massive doses of an anti-psychotic
Kind of funny in retrospect.
