Rand Paul: Newt Gingrich Nomination Will Destroy the Tea Party

Rand Paul has an op-ed at the Des Moines Register (via Memeorandum).

And at the clip, he dubiously gives Mitt Romney the soft ball criticism, but the attack on Newt Gingrich is devastating. The key discussion starts just before 2:30 minutes. I will never forget Newt "Dede Scozzafava" Gingrich throwing the tea party under the bus in favor of "An ACORN-Friendly, Big Labor-Backing, Tax-and-Spend Radical in GOP Clothing."

See also Peggy Noonan, "Gingrich Is Inspiring — and Disturbing" (via Memeorandum).

    I don't think it will harm the tea party movement at all.

    And nobody else will notice, because we won't be able to tell who won the election--they all look alike.

    Nothing could do more harm to the Tea Party movement than nominating Ron Paul as their standard-bearer. He is an absolute kook on foreign policy, national defense, and illegal drug issues. The Tea Party doesn't need an influx of drug addicts, anti-Semites and 9/11 truthers into its ranks.
