I disagree. You stand on conservative principles and let the people come to you. He is supporting Dede Scozzafava in New York. Arlen Spectre has already left the Republican Party. The Republicans do not need another Olympia Snowe or Susan Collins. I believe Newt is positioning himself to run for President as a middle of the roader. He stated the Era of Reagan Conservatism is over. I remember when Gary Gill was leading Dick Gephardt in the polls until Newt praised Gephardt. He did a Climate Change commercial with Pelosi, and teamed up with Sharpton on education. Is Newt a real conservative Republican?

Forget party affiliation - it no longer matters. Those that still 'blindly' follow the Republican Party (as I use to) are guilty of the same crimes against freedom as we blame the mindless-zealot followers of the Democratic Party. It makes my stomach turn to hear hypnotized Republicans so happy that they think the Tea Party/9-12'ers will just fall in line behind them. They may or may not get my support. Don't look for a "D", "L", "I" or "R" behind the name. Look at what they believe in and stand for. Shame on you Newt G. and party hacks. Your lack of courage and leadership is why we are in the current situation. Ted M. (TJMSTL on twitter) Great blog Bill. Forget party affiliation – it no longer matters.

Why hasn't someone tapped each of these individuals to run in the local Congressional races in 2010? I know, I know, there are all the party hacks that have paid their dues and run in local elections and served for years who are waiting their turn. But, the country is at stake. Why not tap the emerging talent pool for those people who have conservative fiscal convictions and a karismatic way of communicating?????? This is the way winners are selected and supported. Nothing less than our freedom is at stake!!!!!! The RNC sent out an email yesterday wanting to take a poll of my values and priorities, and soliciting support. Their questions were so far off base, I didn't bother. Somebody! Wake those clowns up -- they are missing the point: it's the spending and the economy, stupid!
