You are getting pretty ridiculous.

Whatever you may like or dislike about my views, I'm still a believer in smaller, less intrusive government, low and fair taxes, and anti corruption and phony accounting.

It's pretty ridiculous for you to offer knee-jerk support for all the Big Brother supporters --- selling out what it means to be an American --- then have the GAUL to accuse others of your own political sins....

Gingrich Book Tour Has '08 Overtones

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 (AP) - Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker, is taking steps toward a potential presidential bid in 2008 with a book criticizing President Bush's policies on Iraq and a tour of early campaign states.

Mr. Gingrich, who led Republicans to power in the House a decade ago, said in an interview that he would soon visit Iowa and New Hampshire to promote his book and to try to influence public policy.

Asked about a possible run for the White House, he said, "Anything seems possible." But he quickly added, "I don't think it's very likely."

Responding to a similar question on the "Fox News Sunday" television program, Mr. Gingrich said, "I'm not ruling that out."

Republicans close to Mr. Gingrich said he had considered running for president in 2008 or beyond. But they said that the odds were against his seeking and winning the White House.

If nothing else, they said, Mr. Gingrich understands that talk could help sell his new book, "Winning the Future," which goes on sale Monday.
