Newt likes the Tiffany's wing of the Republican Party.

Fox News doesn't mention this:

this should go out to newsmax, townhall, and all the other people spamming me about newt now...

That's not a diss, reads more like a compliment.

I'm pretty sure the Tea Party believes it is the true GOP. If anything, the old GOP is the radical wing of the Tea Party GOP.

Sourcing to HuffPo isn't going to fly with these people. They'll dismiss it as a biased liberal source. Any other source for this?

Drudged this as a "Flashback:" he puts those up occasionally, and I have a feeling he really doesn't like Newt.

[PastaRocket848]

Gallup had him taking 47% of the tea party vote in the national today (maybe yesterday?). ron had 10% non-tea party and 7% of tea party supporters lol. That goes to show you what our media can do.... people claim to support a movement but they don't even support the man that started it!

We need to take our movement back. Now is the time.

Gingrich is pretty obviously himself the militant wing of the G.O.P. He's also working awfully hard to alienate just about everyone he needs to achieve what he's claiming he wants to achieve. And using one hell of a lot of liberal talking points in the process.

Bachmann, Perry and Cain's meltdowns were like watching a candle in an oven. Watching Gingrich melt down is like watching Fukushima.
