It's safe to say that ClimateDepot feels strongly about Newt Gingrich. In the wake of his announcement that he'll be a 2012 contender, they have devoted most of their website to exposing his pro-government record on environmental issues.
Here are a few of the headlines:
Newt Responds to Climate Depot! A Love-Fest is Now Called A 'Debate'?! Gingrich now claims sitting on cozy sofa with Pelosi in Gore climate ad was actually a 'debate'
Newt redefines the English language!? Spokesman: 'Gingrich's attempt to work with Pelosi is another testament to Gingrich's willingness to
debate
his conservative solutions with liberals'
Morano: 'Newt Gingrich is arrogant enough to believe that he doesn't have to play by the same rules as everyone else'
Morano: 'In 2007 and 2008, Gingrich actually believed that not only was global warming going to be a, 'winning issue' ... but he actually believed the GOP base was going to accept this. Those are two horrible miscalculations'
More Media covering the story: Gingrich, a 'committed warmist,' faces rising climate criticism --
Pelosi ad is 'exploding through conservative circles' -- Could 'derail his political comeback'

Newt's a seriously-flawed man - if he wants to win, he should run as a Democrat.

Perhaps Newt.... being the consensus maker that he is...thought that Pelosi and Al Sharpton were moving more to the right and his position in these infomercials, instead of the other way around. Everyone assumes Newt was moving to the left.

"Everyone assumes Newt was moving to the left."
Gingrich is subject to the Uncertainty Principle: it is impossible to determine both his current position and how rapidly he is changing it simultaneously.

Maybe we assumed Newt was moving to the left because he was?

His left, or your left?
Gingrich is, of course, oscillating in place, moving back and forth in eleven dimensions as dictated by String Theory.

I can play the ego game too! Since I decide what the center is I get to define what moving left is.

why don't y'all go to American Solutions and read up on what Newt wants to do about our energy challenges. You can sign up to drill here drill now while you're bashing him without knowing what you're talking about.
don't take Val's bait: Newt, Sharpton, and Glenn Beck are all for education reform.

I hear you speed; Newt's ideas are incredible; but he is a big picture man, and seems not to care what it takes to actually implements it; not only in technical sense but political. That is not a good presidential material. He would be great as, say secretary of education, told by a president "fix the education mess".

Someone once said that Newt has incredible intelligence unbridled by common sense...yup, that just about sums it up. He still will be very valuable in the primary, inserting good ideas into the mix; but like Romney, not a presidential material.
