This will be a defining issue.
AGW was simply a vehicle for elitists to get our cooperation in their takeover of our daily life decisions.
Any politician that doesn’t pounce on this, pointing out the fraud AND THE MOTIVES AND GOALS, is complicit with the elitists.
moron is closer to the truth
“Used to be Newt was tough as nails. I think he developed Stockholm Syndrome. The constant pressure from liberals and living in liberal DC ....he had too much contact with his “captors” and moved gradually part way to their positions”
Off hand, I can’t think of a better explanation. Living in DC
is hazardous to your mental health ;-)
Oh yes. Newt loves the attention. Always has.
I don't think Newt is stupid. On the contrary, he's a smart guy with a keen sense of history and he certainly thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. He also thinks the average American is an idiot and doesn't see his waffling. To some extent that is true, but more and more people are realizing what a pitiful collection of politicians exist today. Too smart by half, Newt....sounding more and more like Dick Morris with every passing day.....
Well look at all he did for US, the entire "conservative movement.
Then.
When the bastards came after him, 1995ish, completely destroying him. His ideals. His movement?
Where was the entire Right to step-up & defend him? Hmmmmm?
The entire right-wing STFU & threw 'em to the sharks.
And while Newt wasn't the only right-wing pol to suffer such a fate, the disgusting habit almost became SOP. LOL
The biggest transgression I hold Newt responsible for?
His gawd awful big mouth after his expertly engineered takeover of congress in '94.
Was either his big mouth or his big ego but he would NOT shut up about the GOP strategy, HIS agenda, HIS opinion of the republic yadayadayada ad nauseum.
Newt may have meant well talking smack about, for example, Tort Reform; while, neglecting to ever think about the coalition HE himself was fomenting.
As he blabbered the filthy shysters quietly approached the Democrats, made deal(s), offered support --from every quarter their corrupting influence reached-- offered strategies enmasse etc. Still do to this very day, too.
Ol' Newt did the exact same thing when he'd PUBLICLY threaten the entire MSM octopus concerning their aged old leftist bias, also.
Forget the education establishment.
Instead of holding his cards close to the vest & simply acting?
The imbecile took it to the very people he was skewering?
THAT's when *I* started questioning Newt's PhD, my friends. LOL
Each & every time Newt opened his mouth he provided the enemy Left with everything they needed to not just destroy him; but, crush an entire movement.
Was shooting fish in a barrel for chrissakes, in hindsight. LOL
To this very day we're still reeling from the crushing, too. While the MSM octopus isn't nearly as powerful as they once were? They [read: It] still wields clout among the ~60% dolt population. Our only hope most years was that of the 60%, only half would vote; and, when [that] happened?
The Right wins elections, eh?
And about the shysters & their filthy infection?
Well, there aren't fewer of them now than then.
Is there. LOL
"Sad."
Not really, perfectly understandable.
IF one punks-off to some goon & gets decked?
Would any of us entertain the punk asking, "Why was I decked?". LOL
CNN & MSNBC could really cut into Hannity's ratings if they had remotely interesting hosts during that hour. I'm increasingly bored by Rove's continued attempts to spin Bush's actions during his second term.
I blanche every time Hannity calls him "The Architect". Memo to Sean: Rove was the architect for 2006, and laid the foundation for the rise of Obama. Thanks for nothing, Karl.
Don't want to live in any buildings that 'architect' designs...no, siree!
Hacked is bad. Leaked means someone in that organization had a conscience (perhaps coupled with a grudge)
Opponents can say an "agenda." But that would be rather beside the point after the leak.
I’d say you nailed it Landru. I remember watching him on the Sunday talk shows back then and he came across as a professor rather than an astute politican. Contrast that to the old Karl Rove before he came on Fox News almost every single day, or even (make me gag) Nancy Pelosi. As much as I hate Nancy at least she holds here cards close.
Sorry, Newt, too little too late. You’ve already jumped the shark a while back...
and what you describe is what make gingrich a moron. stupid is as stupid does.
More words of semi-wisdom from Too Little Too Late Gingrich.
He could have said a lot less and said more:
His first three words should have been: I was wrong.
Sorry Newt, you’re still a loser.
Back then, Gingrich only had to please his local constituency; in the same manner that Pelosi can take positions that outrage a majority of American, but please her local constituency.
Now, Gingrich fancies himself as a potential presidential candidate. He is constantly trying to move leftward in an awkward attempt to enlarge his base of support. He is doing this precisely at a time when the country is beginning to take a hard rightward turn. For all of his supposed brain power, he has not been able to figure this out. He keeps sticking his finger in the air and detects yesterday's wind.
One more thing. He has demonstrated repeatedly that he is perfectly willing to put political considerations above conservative principles.
Senator Inhofe has been fighting this for years and he has made tons of statements. Anyone else getting on board is way late compared to Jim Inhofe.
In fact there is no comparison to the Senator and his continued stance against manmade global warming which he has been calling ‘junk science’ for years.
Glad political people are waking up but they are way late on this one.
