Drown in the Bathtub
From Politico:
"Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is warning fellow Republicans that conservatives may leave the GOP for a third party in 2012.
“If the Republicans can’t break out of being the right wing party of big government, then I think you would see a third party movement in 2012,” Gingrich said Wednesday during a speech at the College of the Ozarks in Missouri, the local television station KY3 reported. "
Really. I guess we all understand that the Republicans, over the last two decades or so, have come to confuse their own party with the government. Apparently, this extends to their oft quoted goal of making government small enough to drown in the bathtub, since that seems to be where their party is going.
We're behind you on that one, Newt.
