Eschewing Washington Examiner attempt to make narrative a likeable/hateable issue about Gingrich

.
The far left has successfully shaped democrat candidates. Right of center voters can do the same with theirs. During this time, the GOP establishment will be horrified and predict nothing less than the end of the world.

"The Washington Examiner on January 20, 2012 ran a “Beltway Confidential” article called America Hates Newt Gingrich. The article lists several surveys showing negative reactions to Gingrich vs. BIG BRObama and vs. Romney.

Well, I do not care for him either! ."...

• Ausonius continues in a follow up comment:
  

"As I wrote, he has flaws, and they need to be addressed, and they are not just surface flaws.

WE will need to force as much of a Conservative agenda onto our nominee – and our Senators and Congressmen – as we can. History has shown that too many Republicans go leftward, as soon as they enter D.C.

Pessimism can be self-fulfilling, and I have my Dostoyevskyan moments too.

But we have a chance this year to stop and – maybe – reverse our obvious decline into mediocrity. It is too early to assume defeat."

"The ”establishment” would rather control how the GOP loses then lose control of how the GOP wins. Stolen from pantera."

"That, snowshooze, is the classic description of the ...

“country club GOP”.

Old money and okay with losing because they’ll still get invited to the important parties and get in a round of golf in the afternoon…

Can’t back the nouveau riche (or worse, no-money) “main street” conservatives .. never know what that kind will do!

Fortunately, they’re a dying breed .. unfortunately, their ideology seems to have moved from the country club to the “right” D.C. gigs."

The failed DC establishment is the reason we have the candidates we have says commenter:

"It isn't Mitt's fault either, Mitt is a symptom"

"Mitt is the result of DC establishment elites drunk on power, pissing away America’s future, not embracing real change for people
