Get Ready for the GOP to do Whatever it Takes to Derail Gingrich's WH Campaign

[Mustang]

If I was a betting man, I would bet that there are a LOT more skeletons in Gingrich's closet.

However, I don't have to be a betting man to know that the GOP leadership doesn't want Newt as their nominee. They know him a hundred times better than any of his supporters think they do.

Get ready for the GOP to pull out all the stops to derail his campaign!

But the most bitter battleground was often in Congress. Here at home, we faced vicious criticism from leading Democrats -- Ted Kennedy, Christopher Dodd, Jim Wright, Tip O’Neill, and many more — who used every trick in the book to stop Reagan by denying authorities and funds to these efforts. On whom did we rely up on Capitol Hill? There were many stalwarts: Henry Hyde, elected in 1974; Dick Cheney, elected in 1978, the same year as Gingrich; Dan Burton and Connie Mack, elected in 1982; and Tom DeLay, elected in 1984, were among the leaders.

But not Newt Gingrich. He voted with the caucus, but his words should be remembered, for at the height of the bitter struggle with the Democratic leadership Gingrich chose to attack . . . Reagan.

The best examples come from a famous floor statement Gingrich made on March 21, 1986. This was right in the middle of the fight over funding for the Nicaraguan contras; the money had been cut off by Congress in 1985, though Reagan got $100 million for this cause in 1986. Here is Gingrich: “Measured against the scale and momentum of the Soviet empire’s challenge, the Reagan administration has failed, is failing, and without a dramatic change in strategy will continue to fail. . . . President Reagan is clearly failing.” Why? This was due partly to “his administration’s weak policies, which are inadequate and will ultimately fail”; partly to CIA, State, and Defense, which “have no strategies to defeat the empire.” But of course “the burden of this failure frankly must be placed first on President Reagan.” Our efforts against the Communists in the Third World were “pathetically incompetent,” so those anti-Communist members of Congress who questioned the $100 million Reagan sought for the Nicaraguan “contra” rebels “are fundamentally right.” Such was Gingrich’s faith in President Reagan that in 1985, he called Reagan’s meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev “the most dangerous summit for the West since Adolf Hitler met with Neville Chamberlain in 1938 in Munich.”

If I was a betting man? I would bet that this is just the beginning.

It has become a cliche and is overused by comedians......but SERIOUSLY......has that dude ever made a statement of any length that did not contain the words "frankly" or "fundamental"?

So the GOP is trying to ruin Newt, eh?

You should tell the other guys in that other topic. They are saying it's the Democrats.





Wait.


You mean he's universally hated?

Why...it's like 1999 all over again!





Keep your eyes peeled for the return of Dubya!

Didn't the Hermanator accuse Democrats of trying to derail his campaign too?

Mitt Romney is the establishment candidate--there is no doubt about that. He is the chosen one within the establishment--that NOW has a ton of baggage himself. Making 1.5 million dollars A MONTH--paying an effective tax rate of 13.7% per month with now known Swiss and Cayman Island bank accounts--says that this guy is going to get a tatoo on his forehead that says (Wall Street Guy--the top 1%'er) with off-shore banking accounts--from the Obama reelection campaign committee.

This is the Obama reelection campaign--and this campaign is going to be all about Mitt Romney's money--and not Obama's record of failure. Count on it.

We even have the talking heads on FOX News -continually going after Newt Gingrich--with ridiculous comments showing their bias toward Mitt Romney.

]Now--we have to ASK ourselves why is it that Mitt Romney is the establishment candidate? He's certainly NOT what anyone could consider as conservative. He has flip-flopped on every single issue known to man So exactly why is it that most of these republican senators and congressmen come out for Mitt Romney and endorse him? A little clue $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Reelection campaign funding and endorsements from Romney Pac funds.

And every time you see an endorsement for Mitt Romney from an existing elected official--like Nikki Haly of S.C- who endorsed Mitt Romney- you then read the article--and low & behold a few paragraphs down---you read--Mitt Romney donated ALOT of those $$$$$$$ to her campaign and endorsed her.

In the end to a Rino Republican--it's not about which candidate would make the best candidate-or even be capable of winning the Presidency---it's ALL about what that candidate can do for their own reelection campaigns--and on that note--250 million dollars (Mitt Romney)-against--Newt Gingrich's wealth does not compare.

You'll note that all the former senators/congressmen/governors endorse Newt Gingrich--because they are no longer seeking elected office.
