But mosly I've posted this because of the strong, nearly hysterical negative push against Newt Gingrich coming from the political establishment of both parties. They are terrified of Newton Leroy Gingrich.
After reading National Review's article on Sir Winston Churchill, you'll not doubt be able to understand why.
Well they both are fat
Oh, please.
Newt only wishes he were like Churchill.
Did you both read the article per the link? I don’t think you did.
There are some similarities. But Newt didn’t escape from a prison...twice!
I second that. Newt is nowhere near a genuine conservative, or respectable leader of any kind. Noot is a political prostitute. A person of real low character.
Dead?
LOL!! You support Romney, then. Guess what? They’re all, deep down, political prostitutes. Some, however, less than others.
Repulsive to even suggest such a comparison. One saved Western Civilization. The other whored himself out for Fannie Mae.
"The Conservatives have never liked nor trusted me," Churchill wrote in the 1920s. According to King George VI's biographer biographer, the king was "bitterly opposed" to Churchill's becoming prime minister. He remained a figure of suspicion within his own party even after he became prime minister in 1940. The description of cabinet secretary John Colville sounds like much of the Newt-angst of conservatives right now: "In May 1940 the mere thought of Churchill as Prime Minister send a cold chill down the spines of the staff working at 10 Downing Street. . . . Seldom can a Prime Minister have taken office with the Establishment . . . so dubious of the choice and so prepared to find its doubts justified."
You know a broken clock is right at least 2 times a day.
I like how the Gingrich supporters hide behind the fact that the GOP Establishment is attacking Gingrich and using that as proof that Gingrich must really be a strong conservative. BS.
If lunatic Ron Paul was in 2nd place behind Romney, the GOP Establishment would be going after him as well. Because in the end, it’s all about protecting their guy Romney.
We know why the GOP Establishment doesn’t like Gingrich. But that doesn’t mean Gingrich is a solid conservative. Many people, conservatives who are doing everything they can to stick to their conservative principles have big issues with Gingrich over questionable statements and actions he made/done in the past decade.
I admired WC. I read two biographies of WC, written by ADMIRERS of WC, and I was stunned. He reminded me on every page of Bill Clinton. If you know anything about WC then you will know why I say that. He was involved with “radical liberalism” on and off for his entire career, and would take, passionately, any position that came along in order to win an election. In WC’s own words, “re-re-rat.” Look it up.
To accuse Churchill of political prostitution is to have no knowledge of the man.
I don’t think Newt could destroy the dominance of western civilization in just three decades and two world wars.
He is no Churchill.
Ward Churchill?
I thought I’d seen this comparison before. There was another article like this posted a few weeks ago. Different author.

The same establishment groups that are attacking Gingrich now, have attacked Palin in the past and would, without doubt, attack Ron Paul if he was a nominating threat to Romney. I agree with you.
The goal is to defeat Obama in November 2012. I will not vote for Romney, even if he is the nominee - for he will change NOTHING!
So we’re really in a quandry, aren’t we. Palin has bowed out. Ron Paul keeps stepping on his own crank. And Gingrich is attacked...because he is immoral...not conservative enough...his ideas are crazy...or he can defeat Obama and carry enough Republicans into both Houses of Congress to effect a real change in government?
Because that ‘change’ is the common fear of both Democrat and Republican establishments. It is the fear they had of Sarah Palin, and Ron Paul, and now of Gingrich.
If Gingrich is the Republican nominee, I will vote for him because he would be a fat better President than Obama.
Newt Gingrich isn’t the perfect Republican, but then who is?
