Hey, do you remember when the National Review as a conservative publication? Neither do I.
Gee, I guess we better vote for ROmney then, huh?
NOT!
Nice History re-write, Elliott you hack, establishment whore!
Eliot Abrams??? How many moldy oldies from the Establishment GOP will come out against Newt this week? Santorum is my candidate, but the way the EGOP is hyperventilating, I’m reconsidering.
Early yearsAbrams was born into a Jewish family in New York. His father was an immigration lawyer. He attended Harvard College in the late 1960s and was a roommate of Steven Kelman, founder of the Young People’s Socialist League campus chapter. Together they penned an article on the 1969 Harvard strike for The New Leader, “The Contented Revolutionists.”.[9] Abrams received his bachelor of arts from Harvard College in 1969, a master’s degree in international relations from the London School of Economics in 1970, and his J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1973.
He practiced law in New York in the summers for his father, and then at Breed, Abbott and Morgan from 1973 to 1975 and with Verner, Liipfert, Bernhard and McPherson from 1979 to 1981.
Abrams worked as an assistant counsel on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations in 1975, then worked as a staffer on Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson’s brief campaign for the 1976 Democratic Party presidential nomination. From 1977 through 1979, he served as special counsel and ultimately as chief of staff for the then-new senator Daniel Moynihan.
Through Senator Moynihan, Abrams was introduced to Rachel Decter, the stepdaughter of Moynihan’s friend Norman Podhoretz, editor of Commentary. They were married in 1980. The couple has three children: Jacob, Sarah, and Joseph.[10

Has East Coast HACK written ALL over HIM!
National Review seems to be about knee deep in RINO excrement. Now, all decisions of Reagan are sacrosanct? Newt was right to question and indeed force the vetting of untested plans.
The problem NRO, Talk Radio hosts, and many others in the GOP have is they worship a Reagan that never existed.
In his 2nd term Reagan did a bunch of stuff that pissed off Conservatives. Tax hikes, Spending increases, Amnesty etc. What Gingrich was saying about him was mild compared to what most on the Right were saying about him in 1986-89.
I would love to see what NRO’s editorial board was writing about Reagan in 1986-1987-1988.
I am betting it a lot harsher then anything Newt ever said about Reagan.
IATZ
Don’t remember who keeps the ZOT ping list.
So the NRO thinks the base is going to be upset that Gingrich was taking stances to the right of Reagan himself? LOL! Alrighty then.
National review LOL
Yea the establishment rag, maybe you forgot the sarc tag

please read and you’ll see the National review is a RINO rag and full of lies to help their elitist establishment pal Romney
Gingrich was 180-degrees wrong. It was a master stroke and huge victory for Reagan.
Elliott Abrams might have worked in two republican administrations but he’s a democrat through and through. One those warmongering democrats who never saw a war he didn’t like, or a country he didn’t want to attack. Most democrats like Willard the liberal, he’s one of them.
This is one of the poorest written articles I have read in ages. Why you find the need to soil this forum with this kind of demagoguery is beyond me.
Newt was one of Reagan's best advocates during both of his terms. AND YOU KNOW IT!
So, if the hair starts to stand up on the back of your neck any time soon, find shelter immediately. It is usually the first sign that a bolt of lighetning is headed your way.

Gingrich was the Congressional Reagan.
Mitt Romney whose famous political family are the Mormon Bushes of the Republican party, despised Reagan and the right so much that he left the Republican party.
Romney only came went back into the GOP when he was ready to start the process of taking over the party.
Military leaders and even Margret Thatcher thought Reagan was not taking a hard enough line with the Soviets
He had to fight borh ends —those in the Left that wanted him to make concessions and those on the right that wanted a tougher stance
