Agreed consumer1…Always interesting to see those who support a “liberal education” reject listening to opposing points of view.

Get your protest signs ready stuck, remember call names and pigeon hole everyone who doesn't think or dress like you. Because you are the “Open minded elite”…

Trying to speak in terms you can relate to. I won't be there, he is too conservative for my liking. Personally I don't care for the man. I just knew having him come to this bastion of far left liberalism would generate many sparks. I don't care for either the far left or the far right. you are all to extreme in your views for me.

damn… for not being one of the elite you certainly seem to know a lot about everyone else…

Consumer1 and noweigh,
I'm pretty certain there will be more liberals in attendance than conservatives. I, for one (a liberal), will be there. I enjoy intellectual dialogue, thoughts and ideas that may be opposite of mine. I'm always open to creative discussions, which unfortunately is not a conservative viewpoint.

Bea, Of course there will be more liberals and not all liberals are as openminded as you, nor the right wing. But i am sure there will be standing room only with the greater majority being liberal I too enjoy meaningful dialog without finger pointing and hurtful banter. That is why living in this town drives me crazy. Both parties claim the sole right to be the only ones who know what is best for everyone else.

Lawrence liberals probably hate to acknowledge that Gingrich led Bill Clinton to a second term. They would rather avoid Gingrich. This time, I kind of hope our congress stays Democratic controlled until 2012. A Republican congress would only bail Mack Daddy out of his messes he's creating, thus making a second term more possible–which is highly unlikely today Tuesday November 3 2009.

Praising Reagan every other sentence and using fancy 7th grade words isn't going to erase the damage Gingrich has done to his brand over the years by wavering on core issues and teaming up with some of the Left's biggest clowns. Keep this radical leftwing extremist away. He couldn't get elected dog catcher in today's GOP.

So lets get this right, people should go to listen to this politico to prove they are open minded. I am not interested in this guy, nor do I ever think what ever anyone does will prove much to your panting 'people should pay attention to this guy” crowd . I have real things I need to do rather than prove how open I am to a has been's bleating. Politics like that just aren't good answers. Give me plans, give me information. If it isn't good enough to make the papers then his important message will be lost. No hypocrasy, no hate either. I am more interested in actions than stumps.

Great post, the left is tolerant as long as you accept their ideas, when you don't accept their ideas they say you're ignorant.
Newt is a RINO, Lawrence will love him.

I will be there tonight. As a moderate Republican, I generally like what he has to say. He speaks calmly and succinct. Should be very informative. Hoping the politcal nuts on whatever side of the spectrum stay outside and don't interrupt my evening of possibly learning more about our government.

Followup to nbnozzy — Great perspective. I don't agree with NG on most stuff, but he waged a brilliant campaign to take control of hte House after 40 years of D control (way too long for any party), and he understands that Rs can't win with just the far-right 20%. He endorsed the R (who later dropped out) in the NY 23 race, where the conservative far right (and inarticulate) candidate was supported by Palin et al, and lost to a Dem. The first loss for a Republican in that seat since the Party was formed in the 1850s.
Gingrich will be thought-provoking, unconventional and some fun. You can do a lot worse in politics.

Wilbur…
What I like about Gringrich is he throws in the past (where we've been) with the present (where we are) and also the future (where we're likely to go) when he speaks. He often says “I think” or “in my opinion” when talking letting the listener know he is giving opinions and not necessarily trying to persuade them. When he is 100% sure of an issue he relates statistics and cites sources. That's where I give the man credibility. I don't think of him as one of the blow hards who is making a career out of using the lecture circuit for self promotion. He talks of “America” and what we should do to preserve the constitution and those who wish to change or destroy it.
