Newt Doubles Down… Attacks “Misinformed” Conservatives & Doug Hoffman (Video)

Newt, Newt, Newt…
Newt Gingrich disappointed national conservatives again tonight by his continued support for pro-abortion, pro-Stimulus, Margaret Sanger Award Winner, Daily Kos backed, socialist Working Families Party candidate Dede Scozzafava in the New York 23rd district Congressional race.

Newt scolded national conservatives for voicing their support for the true conservative in the race Doug Hoffman. He said conservatives are “misinformed” despite the fact that Scozzafava received only a 15% conservative rating in 2008.
Newt also attacked conservative candidate Doug Hoffman during the segment saying he lived outside the district.

Newt told Greta that Scozzafava was supported by Republicans in her district. He slammed Hoffman for raising funds outside the district but did not mention that Scozzafava received $200,000-300,000 from the NRCC.
Newt needs to back off.

Conservative Hoffman surged ahead in the latest Club for Growth poll.

GP, I saw this tonight and thought the same thing, he’s doubling down hard, the misinformed comment will cause a reaction, he sounded more like McCain than the Newt I used to know…

I would love to see him put in his place by Hoffman pulling this thing out…

It’s disgusting that the GOP leadership is putting the welfare of the party and individual Republican politicians ahead of the welfare of the country.

My fantasy is that in 2010 every incumbent of both parties (except for about two senators and three congressmen) are thrown out. Wouldn’t that be amazing?

Mr. Gingrich:

If by some chance you are made privy to the commentary posts here at Gateway Pundit, please understand one rather important point: Any candidate endorsed by ACORN and/or The Working Families Party is not going to be supported by those of us who love our nation.

You have successfully alienated every conservative in this country. Why? Are you profiting in some way? You’re to intelligent to go on with this, but it’s now too late, you’re done in my eyes!

Why I won’t support Newt Gingrich anymore, he sold out to a Left Leaning Republican! We don’t need anymore Center Right Republicans! I would vote for Hoffman right now over any left leaning Republican! The Left Leaning (So Called) Republicans such as John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and their ilk should be Voted Out A.S.A.P.!

Throughout Newts career, he has constantly amazed me with his brilliant comments and analysis only to punctuate them with some of the DUMBEST THINGS ever uttered in the history of politics.

It’s time to give Obama kudos. He has really put the corruption of our government in to the spotlight. And he’s also made it painfully obvious that DC needs a good clean up on both sides of the aisle. What DC and the American people need is new blood. Personally, that’s why I am intrigued by Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann. The old blood has had more than enough time to change the dirty dealing and continue to lie to the American people. It’s gotten so bad that they don’t even try to hide the fact that they feel that we work for them and not the other away around.

We should be calling for new blood, term limits for Congress, stamping out waste in government, etc. We aren’t going to get any real ‘change’ by listening to the people in office now.

Newt has had plenty of time to make a real difference and he hasn’t. Step aside Newt, it’s high time.

I have no actual animosity against the Democrat Party Platform. It’s pro-abortion, scapegoats the military to cover their CIVILIAN international policy-making, anti- 2nd Amendment, and is high tax to support Big Government.
Fine.
Whoever believes THAT signs up as (D)Democrat. Fair enough.
As a Conservative, the Republican Party is the closest Political Platform that represents my beliefs: pro-Life, pro-military, pro-2nd Amendment, low tax to keep Big Government from getting too big and tyrannical. Life isn’t perfect, one settles for close enough.
What I object to is the bullying to make the Democrat Party Platform the Platform of the Republican Party and by extension, the Conservatives.
There IS a political party for THAT. It’s called DEMOCRAT.
The Republican Party Platform is DIFFERENT. It is intentionally different. It began with anti-slavery, the complete opposite of the slavery-enabling Democrats.
If one doesn’t LIKE it then GO to the DEMOCRATS and be at home THERE.
But, obviously it’s more than that, isn’t it? The confrontation that is shaping up goes beyond any one or two political party. The goal is ONE WORLD VIEW, a monopoly of thought, all others smothered and stamped out.

Another glaring example of how there is absolutely no difference in establishment Republicans and leftists. Establishment is establishment whether you are a D or an R. The fact that the NRCC is funding Dede Marxafava and Newt, et al are behind this DIABLO (Democrat in all but label only) just shows that the GOP leadership has to go.

Florida is another example where the NSRC’s pre-emptive endorsement of that spray tanned RINO Crist will bite them in the ass when Marco is the GOP nominee and ultimately Senator in 2010.

Newt probably got spooked after looking out at American and seeing country that elected a Marxist from Chicago as President and a Marxists from San Fransisco as Speaker and has become completed broken by it. He appears to have given up the fight and has decided it would be easier for him personally if he just went along with the liberal wave. Vaya con Dios Newt. I’ll always remember you as you once were.

The bigger problem is all the people who give Gingrich, global warming advocate and bookseller, a microphone. He could not advance his diseased views without their help. What Tea Parties are selling out by allowing him to claim their achievements as his, to steal their luster? When I heard he spoke at the NY City Tea Party earlier this year I became ill. Please stop giving public forums to this vile phony. He is the type who will never retire gracefully, is determined to keep anyone else on the right out of the presidency if he cannot have it. He’s completely obsessed and the biggest obstacle to getting our country back. In fact, he is a main reason our country has been lost. Please stop calling him a GOP leader. Sean Hannity, stop having him on radio or tv.

I will help to campaign against McCain here in Arizona, and try to encourage J.D. Hayworth to run against him in the primary. This all has got to end, we need citizen politicians that serve 2 terms and then return home.

Chris in NY23 commented:

1. What local control? 4 Republican meetings? Funny, we never heard about them. We hear NOTHING from the local GOP. (To be fair, that is a 2-way Street.)

2. Dede was picked in those meetings because of her “fundraising potential” with the downstate GOP, and perception of her being a “moderate”.

3. “He doesn’t live in the district.” – No rules against that. Lake Placid is a 10 minute drive from the district, and if you look at the map, probably should be in the district, were it not for Congress’ silly gerrymandering over the years.

4. Dede was endorsed by the NRA because their policy awards endorsement to those who have legislative experience first.

5. Dede signed the No Tax Increase Pledge AFTER she ridiculed Hoffman for doing it first.

6. “(Dede)… will vote for John Boehner to be speaker instead of Nancy Pelosi” – How stupid do you think we are, Newt. Of course Hoffman would vote for Boehner over Pelosi. How can you be so sure that Dede won’t pull an Arlen Specter? I wouldn’t put it past her.

7. “(Dede)…adequately conservative in an Upstate NY district.” – When was the last time you were here, Newt? Oh yeah… NEVER! (If you were, it was a stealth mission) What would you know about what is “adequately conservative” here? Nothing.

8. “(Dede)… about where McHugh(R) was” – he exposed his RINO side as soon as Bush was out the door.

9. Current polling shows Hoffman in the lead with Dede falling further behind in 3rd. She’s the spoiler now.

10. “Money being raised is going to Dede, not Hoffman..” – check your facts. She was third in fundraising. Owens was first because Obama had a $30k per plate fundraiser in NYC 2 on the 20th. Hoffman raised $116k on the day he got the Palin endorsement.

11. “Aren’t the people of NY allowed to pick their representatives?” – We are, and we have, and we don’t want an ACORN lovin’ RINO. Just because our pick doesn’t jive with your thinking doesn’t make it wrong.

Newt, I’ve had great respect for you over the years, but you’ve lost me here, and I am just one of many voices in NY-23 who feel the same way. You have totally misread us and spun this to support your position. Save face. Admit it. Be honest.

Hoffman will win on Nov. 3rd, and if by some chance he doesn’t, it will be the fault of the GOP for backing the wrong RINO.

Principles over Party.

What Newt fails to realize is that the embrace of abortion and homosexuality by a society and the State will lead to the persecution of Christians in particular and Conservatives in general. If Newt was thinking of running for President, he just destroyed that possibility.

re: [..] obviously it’s more than that, isn’t it? The confrontation that is shaping up goes beyond any one or two political party. The goal is ONE WORLD VIEW, a monopoly of thought, all others smothered and stamped out.]

spot on!!

flashback to February 22, 2008

Obama’s sovereignty giveaway plan

[Why are Republicans in Congress trying to help Barack Obama?

Republicans allowed a bill that carries his name, among nine others, to pass the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by voice vote last week – without any hearings. That means there was no roll-call vote so no member can be held accountable. The same bill passed the House by voice vote last year.

[..]

Obama’s costly, dangerous and altogether bad bill (S. 2433), which could come up in the Senate any day, is called the Global Poverty Act. It would commit U.S. taxpayers to spend 0.7 percent of our Gross Domestic Product on foreign handouts, which is at least $30 billion over and above the exorbitant and wasted sums we already give away overseas.

The bipartisan bill would require the president “to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day.”]

flashforward to October 14, 2009

Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty in
Copenhagen, Claims British Lord Monckton

[Question: The current administration and the Democratic majority in Congress has shown little regard for the will of the people. They’re trying to pass a serious government agenda, and serious taxation and burdens on future generations. And there seems to be little to stop them. How do you propose we stop Obama from doing this, because I see no way to stop him from signing anything in Copenhagen. I believe that’s his agenda and he’ll do it.]

and this is how they are going to do it..

It’s almost as if his IQ has slowly decreased with time, kind of like a fully inflated tire with a small hole in it. The ‘puncturing’ of the tire occurring in 1994, the slow ‘brain drain’ continuing through the years and it seems for years to come. I guess one can compare this to how a family ‘looses’ someone when they succumb to Alzheimer’s or Dementia.

“If you’re young and a republican you have no heart.
If you’re old and a democrat you have no brain”

Actually it’s based off of Churchill’s sayings:

“To be conservative at 20 is heartless, and to be liberal at 60 is plain idiocy.”

“A conservative at 20 has no heart and a liberal at 40 has no brain”

StandUp commented:

People have been warning the GOP establishment for a long time that they are done. Over. This is the moment in history when Newt Gingrich has lost his major influence with conservatives. Newt will still be looked up to for good ideas, but no longer a leader of the conservative moment. Conservatives have been saying to the GOP for quite some time now that: “If they don’t join us, they can step aside…if they don’t step aside, we will PUSH them aside. Newt has been officially pushed aside as a major leader of conservatives now. Palin and Pawlenty had the courage to stand behind Hoffman. Romney is still respected by conservatives, even though he has not endorsed Hoffman, because Romney has not tried to portray himself , dishonestly, as a total conservative. Romney has at least been honest to who he is: a conservative that is moderate on some issues. Huckabee has also disappointed with his waffling on not endorsing Hoffman, while he does portray himself as a strong christian conservative. Conservatives are standing up saying were putting up with double standards like Newt, McCain, Graham, and Huckabee anymore. Conservatives have not shot themsevles in the foot, Newt has. Even if Hoffman loses, he will win the election next year. Conservatives would rather democrats win over RINO’s so that the country can get even more sick of their failed policies. This is history. The old GOP is over. Done.

A conspicuous exception — Newt Gingrich, who is backing Scozzafava. From Politico, regarding Gingrich’s decision:

In defending his endorsement of Scozzafava to the National Review, Gingrich warned conservatives that “if you seek to be a perfect minority, you’ll remain a minority.”

Gingrich misses the mark here. Conservatives are seeking to build a majority based on clearly defined principles communicated to voters. They’re also doing a better job of reading the trends — in particular, movement among independents is going their way. The big-tent strategy that Gingrich is alluding to, and that failed to work for George W. Bush, is proving problematic for President Obama as well.

If candidate “A” only represents my views/values on 20% of the issues, and candidate “B” represents my values on 80% of the issues, why in the HELL would I vote for candidate “A”? This is a representative republic, and the people of NY23 are not idiots nor “disloyal” for voting for the candidate that would best represent their interests and values.

I fear President Obama more than Newt Gingrich. I believe Obama will have a more lasting affect on my life.

I fear President Obama more than Dede Scozzafava.

You cowards who spend all your time bitching about Newt and how he won’t support your guy, are pathetic.

Uhh, correct me if I’m wrong but DailyKos has backed the Democrat in this race, not the Republican.

I mean, I’m OK with you lying and all….but can’t you pick a topic that isn’t so easily googleable?

I’m not sure what you are claiming Jim lied about.
