Gingrich: Republicans Need "Clean Break" from Bush

Finally, a major Republican coming to their senses. Bush is a train wreck, time to jump off. If you don't know that by now you will when it is too late. Since the 2006 election, King George has shown himself to be totally out of touch with reality:

Republican presidential candidates need to make a "clean break" from President George W. Bush and the U.S. government or they will lose in November 2008, a veteran Republican leader said on Friday.

"If you don't represent real change, you just gave away the 2008 election," said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who led the Republican takeover of the House of Representatives in 1994 and now is flirting with a White House run.

Gingrich cited the Iraq war, the failed federal response to Hurricane Katrina two years ago and the inability to control U.S. borders and illegal immigration as evidence of a need for a complete overhaul of the U.S. system of governing.
