I just saw Newt's interview on Rachel Maddow and I gotta say i'm fucking sick and tired of that guy! He's an embarassment to the left. I sometimes think that he's such an opportunist that he could have just as easily been a conservative Republican. What if he had?
 
well he would have stayed married to his first wife and would have had a lot less in the way of affairs.
 
Well, he would probably be calling for people like Marcus Rodriguez (the liberal Representative from California, not the actor) to go to jail, rather than Senator Bush. I know the Republicans were knee-deep in deregulation of the futures-derivative and subprime mortgage markets, but so were our beloved Democrats, and what they were doing wasn't illegal, just stupid. I just wish we had a better spokesman on the left than someone who's name sounds like they stole Christmas. He sounds like Castro when he talks for God's sake!
 
Wonder if he'd still have written that fun series of alternate history books about President Jackson. He'd probably have chosen some Republican hero, frankly - maybe Teddy Roosevelt? Or switch genres a bit and go for Lincoln and a story based around war instead of politics?

Are you kidding me? those where almost as dry and boring as the man who wrote them, people like him are why the federalists get so many votes.

Hey, I like his books!
(And I don't like people trying to dub the Republicans as "Federalists," even if they do seem to be supporting federalism more than the Democrats are these days. Have some sense of history, people - remember the Alien and Sedition Acts, and have some pride for the party of Lincoln!)

Id hardly call the 2% of the vote in the last election so many votes.

Newt may be an idiot at times but he's not nearly as bad as Noora Erakat......yeesh. :eek:
