Michelle Malkin: "Newt Gingrich, who foolishly stood with Scozzafava until she threw herself under the bus over the weekend, piously invoked Reagan and condemned the extreme 'purism' of unruly conservatives who wouldn’t keep quiet about Scozzafava’s radical Left agenda.
"But conservatives are not demanding 'purity.' They are simply abiding by Reagan’s own wise counsel in 1975: 'A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.'”
Foxy Newt Gingrich
Newt Gingrich hints at Third Party by 2012: "He predicted the rise of a third party by 2012 if Republicans don’t get their act together." On Fox News (March 11, 2009)Newt Gingrich said: "Look, I think there are a lot of Republicans who've bought into the system. I've said for a long time the two parties in America aren't Republican and Democrat, the two parties in America are a party of big government and political elites and a party of the American people, which is very different.
It's the Ronald Reagan party. And sadly, a number of Republicans belong to the right wing of the party of big government. They're quite happy to be taken care of. They don't mind getting all the pork they can. And they've become, frankly, part of the problem, not part of the solution."
Fawning Newt Gingrich
"I certainly heard from enough friends to know that my decision to support the unanimous vote of the 11 New York county chairs was very unpopular with conservative activists.
Newt: "Republican leaders in New York must recognize that Mike Long and the Conservative Party in that state have to be consulted before decisions are made. The national conservative movement is a force that has to be recognized and respected.
"I certainly heard from enough friends to know that my decision to support the unanimous vote of the 11 New York county chairs was very unpopular with conservative activists.
"In New York, after two failed special elections, it is clear the state party has to fight to change the election law so there are primaries in special elections. The insider nominating process is simply unacceptable to grassroots populists and guarantees a sense of illegitimacy.
"However, all of us who oppose the Left need to realize that civil war within the GOP will reelect Barack Obama and make Nancy Pelosi speaker for life."
"A Bad Day for the Obama White House A Good Day for the American People" by Newt Gingrich (11/04/2009)
