The right drops a bomb on Newt
By JIM VANDEHEI and MIKE ALLEN | 1/26/12 8:00 AM EST

The conservative media decides they need to come clean about the man they really know.

• The overnight Drudge Report banner: “Insider: Gingrich repeatedly Insulted Reagan.” The headline linked to a devastating takedown by Elliott Abrams in the National Review, who wrote, among other things, that Gingrich had a long record of criticizing and undermining Reagan’s most transformative policies.

1. "William Jefferson Gingrich"

2. Gingrich and his followers bring out the very worst in us.

What will save us from his ilk?

3. Yep. it's a party devouring itself.Even if

the powers that be in the GOP manage to bring Newt down (and I think they will) ,the damage is done. Those who supported Newt will not support Romney and Romney is the living example of the disparity of wealth in this country. The GOP is screwed no matter who comes out of this alive at this point.

7. I'm not convinced of that

(the idea that they are screwed no matter who comes out alive)

The best shot for the GOP right now is to have Romney and Gingrich batter each other for another 6 months and at the same time tear into Obama. When they end up at a brokered convention, they can pick a candidate to run against Obama who has less baggage, hasn't been torn apart in the primaries, and who has broader swing voter appeal (though I have no idea who that candidate might be).

4. Elliott has no room to talk

His credibility is zero the man should be in jail

[Champion Jack]

5. A circular firing squad is an amazing thing to watch

[Scuba]

6. The rotting corpse of the Republican Party needs to be buried once and for all.

8. They're desperate, people voting now could care less about RayGun

[Uncle Joe]

9. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, kpete.
