Newt Gingrich Criticizes GOP for Being Too Newt-Gingrichy
From Indecision 2008…
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has lashed out at the Republican National Committee for recent ads attempting to tie President-elect Barack Obama to scandal-ridden Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.
I was saddened to learn that at a time of national
trial, when a president-elect is preparing to take office in the midst
of the worst financial crisis in over seventy years, that the
Republican National Committee is engaged in the sort of negative,
attack politics that the voters rejected in the 2006 and 2008 election
cycles.
Reached for comment, Newt Gingrich said, "I
think one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that
we don't encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat,
obedient, loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words, which would
be great around a campfire but are lousy in politics."
