Newt Gingrich loses Florida — and reminds us why
Newt Gingrich loses Florida — and reminds us why
By Jennifer Rubin
Newt Gingrich gave his post-primary speech tonight while gracelessly declining to congratulate the man who beat him by double digits. According to the Romney campaign, Gingrich hadn’t called to congratulate the Florida winner as of 9:30 p.m. ET.
The speech was vintage Gingrich, comparing his predicament to Lincoln at Gettysburg and vowing to conduct a “people’s campaign.” He made one small run at Romney, calling him “the Massachusetts moderate,” and then wandered into a rather trite recitation of his commitment to change. He rambled a bit, getting nostalgic about his Contract with America and assuring us he’d been studying “how to do this” since 1958. (He was running for president as a child?) He is going to get rid of White House czars, move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and halt the war on religion. If there was a theme in there, it was hard to spot.
He obnoxiously ended by pledging: “My life, my fortune, my sacred honor.” But he’s not doing any of that. And it’s quite an insult to American patriots who have said that and meant it.
Gingrich has been reduced to a smaller-than-life figure. He’s a guy with a lot of words and very little appeal, whose meanness got the best of him and helped to wreck his campaign on a heap of attacks, insults and downright vile accusations (the latest being his claim that Romney is hostile to religion).
He might go on, as he promised. But, really, how many Republicans will follow him? Fewer and fewer, I suspect.

I hope he is correct in that.......I can't stand Newt and I e-mailed the Tea Party and told them I am no longer a member since they want to back him.....The difference between an immigrant and an illegal alien is the equivalent of the difference between a burglar and a houseguest.

WE are all sick and tired of the RINO games, that is for sure! We have been set up for years! They label everyone so they can figure out how best to control them.

I have noticed that with Gingrich people either love him and are blind to all his disgusting ways or they hate him because of all his disgusting ways. I personally cannot stand him, both he and Romney are REPUBLICAN IN NAME ONLY
