Newt Wimps Out, Strikes Orthodox Propaganda Line

I kinda figured this woud be the result of this much over-hyped "debate." Newt has a penchant for crossing over the ideological lines at precisely the wrong time. This will kill any chance he had at becoming the Republican Presidential Candidate.

Anyone who buys into the Leftist Religion of Human Caused Global Warming has proven himself unworthy and gullible. He is a victim of his own "enlightened world view." Ultimately Newt, like most who consider themselves among the "intellectual elite" in this nation can't restrain themselves from having to appeal to the Liberal media.

Following his performances with Hillary Clinton on Healthcare, and his other so-called enlightened positions, this one was inevitable.

Kerry and Gingrich Hugging Trees -- and (Almost) Each Other

Yesterday's global-warming debate between John Kerry and Newt Gingrich was, as the moderator put it, "advertised as a smack-down and a prizefight." But those labels were too modest for Kerry.

"Welcome to our environmental version of the Lincoln-Douglas debates," the former Democratic presidential nominee told the crowd in the Russell Caucus Room. "We flipped a coin, and I picked Lincoln."

But something funny happened on the way to 1858. Gingrich, a former Republican House speaker, refused to play Douglas to Kerry's Lincoln, instead positioning himself as a tree-hugging green.

Before Kerry got a word in, Gingrich conceded that global warming is real, that humans have contributed to it and that "we should address it very actively." Gingrich held up Kerry's new book, "This Moment on Earth," and called it "a very interesting read." He then added a personal note about saving vulnerable species from climate change. "My name, Newt, actually comes from the Danish Knut, and there's been a major crisis in Germany over a polar bear named Knut," he confided.

Newt is afterall, and in the end...a politician and a self-obsessed intellectual. I am embarrassed that I ever considered him for President...with reservations of course.

It appears that we on the Right are still looking for someone to espouse our views who has a backbone, some intellectual integrity, and enough appeal to get elected.

Anthropogenic (that's man-made, for you in Austin) Global Warming is a myth based on incomplete, distorted, and created "facts." It is a multi-$billion industry fed by those who make their living from it, and unscrupulous politicians (yeah, I know that's redundant) who see political advantage in frightening little children and other Liberals.

Who among the Republicans is prepared to take up the flag of freedom and carry on the fight? Tom Tancredo has made some pretty good statements, but I fear he is an unlikely victor, as it Congressman Duncan Hunter. As good as these fine gentlemen are, they seem to lack the charisma and telegenicity to get elected.

Fred Thompson, where are you?
