Dallas Tea Party activists push back against Gingrich’s straw men

By Michelle Malkin • October 23, 2009 02:33 PM

Check this out. Newt Gingrich is on his latest book promotion tour — and his embrace of radical leftist Dede Scozzafava (whom he champions as a “moderate Republican”) is getting heated pushback from movement conservatives in the heartland.

Earth to Newt: There is nothing “mooooderate” about radical leftist Dede Scozzafava.

Here are video clips of Dallas Tea Party activists raising their voices at Borders Books in Dallas. I repeat: Can the GOP hear conservatives yet?

Oh, and does the rest of the media elite finally understand the Tea Party movement is not just an anti-Obama, anti-Democrat movement — but a movement to hold all politicians’ feet to the fire?

***

Here Gingrich snarks that conservatives who object to backing radical leftists don’t think Reagan was conservative enough. There he goes again:

Here Gingrich worries about “intra-party” fighting in the NY-23 race. But he’s backing the radical Margaret Sanger, high-taxing, Big Labor and ACORN leftist who is splitting Republicans instead of backing the conservative:

A Dallas Tea Party activist calls for GOP commitment to core conservative principles:

Keep calling them out.

But they’ll hear us.

They’ll hear us when our candidates are sitting in the offices they used to hold, all the while wondering what kept them from hearing us when they could have done something about it.

Nah … They’ll continue to shove their heads ever higher up the arses of the Donks.

I can no longer tell the difference between a “moderate” republican, or a liberal republican, or a RINO, or a DIABLO.

… Or, for that matter, a Democrat.

Time for a change.

Will current serving Republicans withdraw from their next race because they are opposed by both a Democrat and a Conservative?

No.

Will the Conservative?

No.

Will Democrats salivate with being opposed by a Republican and a Conservative?

Yes.

Will this result in more Democrats getting elected?

In the short term, probably. However, just as has happened with the current Democrat in the White House, the problems they have brought on and exacerbated will continue to get worse, forcing the people of this country to face the fact that it is the Founding Fathers’ ideal that made this country great, and they will flock to Conservatives in droves, forcing the Democrats and the Republicans onto the scrap heap of history.

From the ashes will arise a second conservative party, and over time, the mistakes of the last century will be dismantled.

That’s most likely how it is going to happen.

Newt has shown what he really is. He is a party appendage who doesn’t have a clue what real non elite Americans are thinking.

I have relegated Newt to the road pizza category of politicians.

DOA

Good riddance, you you never were very impressive, you just got a lot of face time on the tube and you put more effort into self aggrandizement than organized and principled opposition.

The real leaders of the conservative republican movement will emerge from the sidelines soon enough.

Let’s hope that Doug Hoffman, Marco Rubio, and Sarah Palin bear my point out.

Your a dinosaur Gingrich, leave us alone.

It’s getting harder and harder to square this Newt fellow with the guy who lead the Republican Revolution of ‘94. What I want to know is, how did he get here from there? Who bought him off? The Chinese?

Are we just supposed to be satisfied with a liberal who happens to have an ‘R’ next to her name–just so that we can have a seat?

Yes.

Drink the rnc the kool-aid and do what newt tells you to do.

Okay, so we now former Republicans are just supposed to “do what we’re told”? No way….even though the dems may remain in office because we voted for the conservative, we have to get a real conservative party going right here, right now. Just can’t see voting for the status quo. Kudos for the folks who spoke out to irrelevant Gingrich.
