Eye of Newt Gingrich thinks the American People are all idiots
Gingrich’s operation recently commissioned a poll to prove support for his ideas; according to Gingrich, “By 84 to 12, the American People Support the Key Proposition of American Solutions.” Just what are these ideas? From Gingrich’s newsletter:

92% believe we need to provide long-term solutions instead of short-term fixes (only 5% believe it is unimportant);

80% believe we must strengthen and revitalize America's core values (only 9% believe that is unimportant); and

67% favor moving the government into the 21st Century (only 15% believe that is unimportant).

That’s right: The people of this nation prefer “solutions” to “fixes,” are in favor of our “core values,” and generally support a government located in the same time period as its citizenry. Other results from the poll show widespread support for “Defeating America’s enemies” and belief in the prediction that “new technology and science” will “open up incredible possibilities” – in “a variety of fields”!

Want solutions, support America's values, want to move into the 21st Century? You MIGHT sound like a Democrat, but you really want to vote for Newt. C'mon, please vote for him, he needs it, it might be the only vote he gets.

4. Newt was never popular, he was never half as important as he thought he was.
He wrote the Nazi-publican manifestos on language and provided a template for attack dog right-wingers that they use to this day, it's true.

But nobody outside of his redneck GA district ever actually voted for him, and he never had more than a paltry 30-35% approval rating by the nation as a Speaker.

I don't know where this guy gets off imagining that he could make a run at a national office.

2. We need more of Newt front and center for the GOP.
His rants and ravings are of a past, failed era. Whipping up the repug base is what is needed. More family values, more contract for america. We're in for sure.
