Gary Busey Endorses Newt Gingrich For President

In the event that you're a GOP voter on the fence over which presidential candidate to support, and you just wish the guy who starred in the 2005 film, "The Hand Job," would give you some direction, your decision just got a whole lot easier.

Gary Busey appeared at the holiday party of Republican strategist Ron Bonjean over the weekend, and according to The Hill, announced that he was throwing his hat in with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

"I've never met Newt but I know what he stands for," the actor told the newspaper. As for his fellow Texan Rick Perry, Busey said, "He's a good guy, he just doesn't belong in the race." Busey is unhappy with his stance on illegal immigration, which is less conservative than many GOP stalwarts.

Last spring, Busey endorsed Donald Trump for President, despite being fired on "Celebrity Apprentice."

"He's a great man," he said in April. "He's got an awareness level that's very high, and I'm going to vote for him for president, and I suggest you all do. Because he has the wherewithal to turn this country over, turn the dump over, get out of where we are now."

Looks like this puts the kibosh on the nascent Busey 2012 movement.

"Newt Gingrich is being trumpeted as the 'front runner' for the
Republican presidential nomination and I'm scratching my head
trying to figure this one out.

84 ethics complaints while he was speaker.
Loves his lobbying money.
Worked for Freddie Mac just before it collapsed.
Member of the Council on Foreign Relations (a globalist think-tank)
and the list goes on... "

Gary Busey is a washed up third rate actor - stunk on Apprentice and backed a loser then, and is backing another loser. Loser backing losers. Nice

Amazing that someone as depraved and marginal as Busey feels a sense of superiority and entitlement over the illegal immigrants simply because he was born here.

Last I knew, there were many people rotting in jail for the very same (multiple) drug offenses that Busey has committed.

I propose a switch- amnesty for my good, hard-working, honest housekeeper for Gary Busey being sent away to Mexico.

It would be nice if the priveledge of residency was given based on character and not on birthright.

If Newt can just get VictoriaJackson's endorsement, he'll have the GOP nomination sealed!

avemanateacher, we are tired of the Faux talking points, get a life and stop being a hater and a false news reporter for Faux, the teabaggers and hate groups.

bcdiet, you are tired of hearing the facts. I can't change the facts but what is so d@mn sad is that you either deny these facts to keep your conscience clear, or you deny these facts publicly to promote vile realities you are all to complicit in for political points. Nothing written above on my part is 'faux', but you refuse to research these things or you know they are true but wish to convince America to follow your ill directed President. Good luck with that!
