Newt Gingrich has finally found a politician he considers even worse than the president he calls socialist, anti-colonialist and radical. That would be his fellow Republican Ron Paul.
“I think Barack Obama is very destructive to the future of the United States. I think Ron Paul’s views are totally outside the mainstream of virtually every decent American,” Gingrich said Tuesday in a CNN interview with Wolf Blitzer.
Could he vote for Paul? “No.” If it came down to Paul vs. Obama? “You’d have a very hard choice at that point.”
Michele Bachmann piled on Paul in an interview Tuesday with Rodney Hawkins of National Journal and CBS News. She cited “racist statements” in Paul’s newsletters and said he is indifferent about the prospect of Iran having a nuclear weapon. “Ron Paul would be dangerous for the United States on foreign policy,” she said.
Gingrich unloaded on Paul after Blitzer showed a tough Paul attack ad accusing Gingrich of “serial hypocrisy.” Gingrich said Paul’s “total record of systemic avoidance of reality” makes him unthinkable as a president. He is, Gingrich said, “a person who thinks the United States was responsible for 9/11, a person who … wrote in his newsletter that the World Trade Center bombing in 1993 might have been a CIA plot, a person who believes it doesn’t matter if the Iranians have a nuclear weapon.”

Go Newt!
Looks like the 7 dwarfs are turning into cannibals.
These neocon warmongering chicken hawks like Newt Gettingrich (by-being-a-cowardly-globalist-traitor) are finally realizing that they are just a small unpopular minority in the Republican Party and it’s freaking them out—hence their hysteria. They hate Ron Paul because they love war and lucre. What a shameful and disgusting bunch of traitors.
What a dismal republican choice. Gingrich and his history,Paul with his isolationism, Romney and his flip flops.
I think the only hope for republicans is to nominate none of the above, like Guiliani.
4 insane conservative,
You call yourself a “sane conservative” but you would be ok with The First Mayor with his personal issues AND his leaning to the left on many issues?
the campaign that started out interesting and intelligent has dissolved into defensive volleying because of the onslaught of negative advertising. Pity. Gingrich was the only candidate repeatedly asking for this not to happen, but the media and PACs can’t resist the low road.
Mark Levin:
You can say whatever you like. Guiliani was the best NYC Mayor in recent memory, even if I don’t agree with him on every issue.
Acccording to the impression of your posts, you are Rabbi Yehudah Levin’s brother, who supported Pat Buchanan, anti-semite and all, as long as he is reactionary enough.
Extremist Ideolougues Right & Left are both dangerous, especially to us yidden.
