Newt Gingrich caused quite a stir today by suggesting that if Republicans don’t return to their small government roots, there could be some…unpleasantness.

“If the Republicans can’t break out of being the right wing party of big government, then I think you would see a third party movement in 2012,” Gingrich said Tuesday.”

“Remember, everything Obama’s doing, Bush started last year,” he said. “If you’re going to talk about big spending, the mistakes of the Bush administration last year are fully as bad as the mistakes of Obama’s first two, three months.”

If this had been contained to CNN it might have been a non-story but conservative bloggers and commentators rang in their sentiments affirmatively. Monique Stuart reports that she’s in with a post titled Mr. Gingrich, I agree.

Even Allahpundit at Hot Air is wondering if his boss, Michelle Malkin, is ready for revolt.

We found an interesting letter to the editor at Florida’s TC Palm that clearly reflects these views:

“Congress just doesn’t get it. When our forefathers drafted our Constitution, they never intended for there to be career politicians. You serve your country and move on. With all the disgust with our representatives and their involvement in the financial mess, maybe it’s time to push term limits.”

One thing is for sure. Many, many American citizens are majorly pissed. They have every right. Our government is supposed to serve us.

Lately, the only people they’re serving is themselves.
