Gingrich's Position on Global Warming Changes Faster than the Climate


"The ad opens with Gingrich and Pelosi sitting side-by-side on a couch in front of the Capitol Building.

'We don’t always see eye to eye, do we Newt?' Pelosi asks.

'No, but we do agree that our country must take action to address climate change,' Gingrich responds.

Pelosi then says, 'We need cleaner forms of energy and we need them fast,' after which Gingrich calls on voters to 'demand action from our leaders' in order to 'spark the innovation we need.'”

In an interview this week with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Gingrich said the ad “is probably the dumbest thing I’ve done in recent years.”

'I was trying to communicate that conservatives care about the environment,' he said. 'All I did was make conservatives mad, and liberals didn’t particularly like me. It was a mistake, and I wouldn’t go back and do it again.'"

For Doughboy, it's all about telling people what they want to hear.

2. So, what is he saying now? He doesn't care about the environment?

4. He's saying he cared when it was politically expedient
which I guess is the same thing.

3. Of course they do - it's somewhat limited to NIMBY, but still.
