WASHINGTON — From a safe distance on the sidelines, Newt Gingrich on Monday attacked the lot of 2008 GOP presidential candidates, comparing Republicans to "pygmies" and calling them trained seals.

Speaking at a breakfast sponsored by the conservative magazine The American Spectator and reported by The Examiner, Gingrich said he could be forced into the race if Republicans don't demonstrate leadership and it then becomes "patently obvious, as the morning paper points out, that the Democrats have raised a hundred million more than the Republicans, and at some point people decide we are going to get Hillary (Clinton) unless there's a radical change."

the best would be Newt vs. Hillary. That would provide some real fireworks. Non-political types might even tune into that.

Strange...I had always thought Newt to be one of the Neocon founding fathers...

Not even close. The Contract With America was a winner because it dealt with actual platform issues, for the most part, rather than whether gay people would be married. The Neos tend to put the only important aspect of conservative thought to be religious.

That Billary went right along with it and created one of the most prosperous times the nation had doesn't change that idea they so desperately want others to believe.

It brings back wonderful memories of Patsy Schroeder pounding the podium....

"They are coming for our children!"

No way, very little of the contract on america was ever even passed.

And maybe Schroder was referring to his plan to put poor kids in orphanages.

Quite a lot of it was passed. Admittedly Clinton vetoed it first then later signed it taking credit for it, but much of it passed. One of the largest that I thought never would be was the Welfare Reform.

Really, what parts of it were passed?

And how did welfare "reform" give us a good economy?
 
imho it started the neocon movement. Newts fine young cannibals got out of control and became the neocon movement. Too many attacks to mention resulted from this movement.

what???

the balance budget?
reduce crime?
welfare reform?
child tax credit? reform marriage penalty?
President decides if troops should serve under UN?
Loser pay tort reform?
small business incentives, capital gains cut?
term limits on Congress?

What in that created the neo-cons? What in there was an attack on Americans? What in there is new that conservatives did not believe before?

Seriously, I'm curious.
