Purcell: Newt is part of the problem, not the solution

BATAVIA – Batavia businessman Jim Purcell, Republican candidate for the 14th Congressional District, issued the following statement regarding former Speaker Newt Gingrich’s endorsement of Ethan Hastert:

“Newt Gingrich is very good at talking like a conservative. But the reality is when he was Speaker of the House, the federal government grew to a size that Bill and Hillary Clinton never dreamed of. Republicans like Newt Gingrich lost us our majority in Congress in 2006 and could seriously hurt us in 2010. Republican voters want a candidate who will fight for the conservative principles that made our nation great, not a politician who is all sizzle and no steak.”
