Dear Newt,

I recently had the displeasure of watching you bash the protestors of the Prop 8 marriage ban to Bill O'Reilly on FOX News. I must say, after years of watching you build your career by stirring up the fears and prejudices of the far right, I feel compelled to use the words of your idol, Ronald Reagan, "There you go, again."

However, I realize that you may have been a little preoccupied lately with planning your resurrection as the savior of your party, so I thought I would fill you in on a few important developments you might have overlooked.

The truth is that you're living in a world that no longer exists. I, along with millions of Americans, clearly see the world the way it as -- and we embrace what it can be. You, on the other hand, seem incapable of looking for new ideas or moving beyond what worked in the past.

(snip)
What really worries me is that you are always willing to use LGBT Americans as political weapons to further your ambitions. That's really so '90s, Newt. In this day and age, it's embarrassing to watch you talk like that. You should be more afraid of the new political climate in America, because, there is no place for you in it.

In other words, stop being a hater, big bro.

1. Newt is as relevant as a space heater in hell.

Good effort falling on deaf ears, sadly. As long as the rw wants to ride to power on the backs of gay people it isn't going to stop, until people duped by fear mongering stop giving them power and credibility.

5. Great quote. nm

2. Amazing how the same family produced two very different people. I hope it's Newt who

is considered the black sheep.

3. Very well-put, Candace!

My daughter (12) does not even understand why same-sex marriage rights are an issue; of course, everyone should be able to marry the consenting adult of their choice!

See ya' at the equality marches,

In Solidarity and Friendship,

4. Thank you. I hope Fox has the guts to read this on the air to Newt or

at least to the TV audience.

6. And I hope that I will be able to drive my truck to Jupiter one day.

Unfortunately, it looks like both of them have about the same possibility of happening.

7. LMFAO!

". Newt is as relevant as a space heater in hell." LMFAO, bluedawg!

It really is sad to see old Newt so mired in his bigotry that he can't see the forest for the trees. Hope he's the black sheep in the family, too.
