When Newt Gingrich has the audacity to say that the so-called “left wing” of Democratic Party “admires” terrorists you just have to shrug and laugh.  Only on Fox News would something like this be stated and taken as fact. 

It’s also kind of sad.  I’m a former Republican.  In my first and second times at the election booth I voted for George H. W. Bush.  The second time was bit more reluctantly but I just didn’t buy into Clinton.  However, since 1992 I’ve watched as the Republican party degenerated into a small-minded group of people who say things like this; who latch onto things like abortion and guns as if they are greatest thing since mom and apple pie.  Granted, my move away from the Republican Party began as many of my personal views became more centrist and even liberal in some cases, but the GOP would have lost me anyway when people like Newt Gingrich came into power.  As a party, the GOP really has nothing left to give except stupid-ass remarks like this.  With the second Bush administration, the GOP has proven they are not good caretakers of our country, our economy, our military, or our citizens.  All they really have anymore are silly little remarks that will incite a small group within their party’s base, but that’s about it.  Sad.
