The GOP establishment elite lining up behind Mitt Romney are either tone deaf or brain dead. They've totally misread the mood of the American people. We the people are fed up with smooth-talking, two-faced, flip-flopping, business as usual big government political whoring and are not going to take it anymore!!
McCain suspended his campaign in 2008 to rush back to Washington to save the world from the great economic collapse that would usher in the Great Depression II. Instead, he delivered America to the Marxist B. Hussein Obama who's ushering in the wholesale wanton destruction of America as a free country.
TARP. The bailouts. The taking of the car companies and giving them to the unions. The Porkulus stimulus package. ObamaCare. Obama's ridiculous war against coal, oil and gas, manufacturing and industry, and against capitalism and freedom itself. The idiotic federal push for a "green economy." The trampling of the constitution. The corruption. The crony capitalism. Big government. Big spending. Big borrowing. Big taxing. DC ramming it down the throats of the American people, despite our protests.
How soon Rove, Krauthammer and the elite GOP ruling class forget. But we are not stupid and we have not forgotten. These are the reasons we the people have risen up against the political class. We the TEA party have protested and rallied in every state and city during the last three years and our rebellion produced sweeping results in the 2010 congressional elections and in local and state governments all across the land.
We have an open rebellion brewing while the GOP fiddles. We're not talking about rearranging the deck chairs or fussing with the details. We're talking about a complete sweep of business as usual scum bucket politicians and their intrusive, oppressive, unelected, unaccountable, unconstitutional federal bureaucracy. We're going to continue building our tea party majority in the House and we're going to take the Senate. And if the GOP leadership gets out of the way, we're going to take the White House. Follow the lead of the GOP and we lose to Obama.
For starters, our goals are to repeal ObamaCare. Repeal Obama! Throw out or flatten the income tax. Privatize social security and medicare. Repeal Dodd-Frank. Shutter the EPA. Repeal the regulations that are killing our economy. Shutter the Commerce dept. Shutter the Education dept. Shutter the Energy dept. Shutter freddie and fannie. Shutter health, education and welfare. Get a handle on the Fed. Secure our borders! Reinstate the constitutional restrictions and limitations on government. Enforce the Tenth Amendment. Return health, education, housing, banking, welfare and all other functions not expressly delegated to the federal government by the constitution to the states and the people. Get the federal government out of our local affairs, out of our business, out of our schools, out of our churches, off our backs and out of our faces!! Set our people free to produce, prosper and live freely as God and our founders intended!!
Romney, as chief-architect and advocate of RomneyCare which directly led to ObamaCare, is not the one to lead this rebellion. Romney swears by TARP, the bailouts, the stimulus packages. Romney lives for BIG government. Look at his record. He still brags today about his anti-liberty, anti-free economy, big government mandated, RomneyCare for Pete's sake. Romney is not the kind of guy who will sweep out the intrusive federal government and shutter entire departments and agencies. He'll do nothing to upset the federal gravy trains of the progressive income tax, medicare, freddie, fannie, banking, the Fed, the EPA, the endless tax laws and regulations and the myriad of corrupt, overbearing, unconstitutional federal ABC departments and agencies that are killing our economy and oppressing our freedoms.
Romney is the establishment's anti-Reagan, anti-tea party, smooth talking, good hair, don't rock the boat, big government guy.
"I was an independent during Reagan Bush. I'm not returning to Reagan-Bush!" --Mitt Romney (angrily)
"In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government IS the problem." --Ronald Reagan
Conversely, Romney openly declares that only government can solve our problems.
No business as usual progressive RINOs!! No Romney!! No way!!
Long live the TEA party rebellion!!
Long live our free Republic!!
“The GOP establishment elite lining up behind Mitt Romney are either tone deaf or brain dead.”
I respectfully disagree. The GOP nomenklatura are very informed and deliberate in what they do. They are frauds, dissemblers and quislings with regard to their espoused ‘conservative values’. The GOP machine differs from the Democrat machine about as much as the Mensheviks differed from the Bolsheviks. A difference of degree, not of kind.
For the most part we are stuck with them this cycle, but eventually there will be a separation.
Nice to see the MSM reporting the truth for a change ;)
The sole purpose of the Republican Party is to serve as an ineffective alternative to the Democrat Party.
My mom actually bought me this book for my birthday.
We are no longer on speaking terms.
************************
Bad priorities my friend. One day your mother will be gone, and you will wish with all your heart you could speak with her, and you won’t be able to. If this is all that is between you, resume contact and agree to disagree on this point. Someone like that suet pudding “The Arsonist” is not worth breaking family ties over.
Precisely.
Exactly and brilliantly stated!
Karl’s been spending time at the buffet bar a bit much, it seems.. He’s become his GrandOldDad’sParty Poster Boy. (no offense intended)
And oyu can rest assured they will push harder the closer we get to the Primaries. They aren’t even close to being done. And you can rest assured that they are the ones who have orchestrated the Cain take down. And while no way I’ll vote for scummy Newt, he better watch his back because he is next.
LOL, there was a time not so long ago that Rove & Bush could do not wrong, just like Scott Brown of MA. In the end most of the folks here get snookered by the sales pitch from grossly dishonest pols. Even now the line up for the GOP is worthless. It makes no diff anymore which party is in power, the results are the same. Unless folks get off their duffs our liberties will be a thing of the past.
“Thank you for visiting York Dispatch. We are sorry the article that you requested is no longer available.”
Imagine that.
What I was looking for was a speech he gave in York, PA last year.
He said we were ‘evolving’ into the ‘miltitant wing’ of the GOP. I wondered at the time if that was comparable to ‘the taliban wing’ of the Republican Party.
Yeah? Well, next to mittney, he’s ALSO the most DEVIOUS man in the room.
A wise observation; the person's mother probably didn't know anything about the book, just saw it is by Rove and about politics.
Thanks - a little choppy but I’ll do more research.
I realize Newt has taken unpopular positions in the past - and sometimes his speeches take ‘on the one hand and on the other hand’ perspectives. Overall, I believe he would pursue a Constitutional agenda as POTUS. As VP - he would be a huge asset for the Big Cainhuna;)
Well, here is what I have compiled from other FReepers and other sources:

“GINGRICH: No, but let me say this, John. No serious citizen who’s concerned about solving this problem should get trapped into a yes/no answer in which you’re either for totally selling out protecting America or you’re for totally kicking out 20 million people in a heartless way. There are — there are humane, practical steps to solve this problem, if we can get the politicians and the news media to just deal with it honestly.”June 2011 Debate Transcript

CONSTITUTION
“In 1994, Newt Gingrich described himself as a... fan of the ideas espoused in the book, The Third Wave by Alvin Toffler, in which homosexuality, promiscuity, adultery, divorce, and abortion are all viewed as perfectly normal and even desirable. He said that in order to understand him, you should read the book, The Third Wave by Toffler. This book is written from the perspective of someone who is writing a letter to America’s Founding Fathers, in which he describes the Constitution and the principles of limited government that guided our Founding Fathers as becoming increasing irrelevant, and obsolete, and hence in need of being radically redesigned and replaced!....When Newt Gingrich became the Speaker of the House in 1994, he recommended The Third Wave as required reading for all of his Congressional colleagues!”

GLOBALISM
Newt Gingrich supported GATT, NAFTA and WTO while in Congress.

Mr. Toffler encourages the DEATH of the American Constitutional system. Mr Gingrich who wrote the forward in Toffler book “Creating A New Civilization” obviously agrees.

GLOBAL WARMING/CAP and TRADE
Newt: Too Green for 2012
http://www.themoralliberal.com/2011/01/27/newt-too-green-for-2012/
1989: Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-GA) co-sponsors the ambitious Global Warming Prevention Act (H.R. 1078), which finds that “the Earth’s atmosphere is being changed at an unprecedented rate by pollutants resulting from human activities, inefficient and wasteful fossil fuel use, and the effects of rapid population growth in many regions,” that “global warming imperils human health and well-being” and calls for policies “to reduce world emissions of carbon dioxide by at least 20 percent from 1988 levels by 2000.” The legislation recognizes that global warming is a “major threat to political stability, international security, and economic prosperity.” [H.R. 1078, 2/22/1989]
1992: Gingrich calls the environmental proposals in Al Gore’s book Earth in Balance “devastatingly threatening to most American pocketbooks and jobs.” [National Journal, 9/5/92]
1996: At a speech for the Detroit Economic Club, Gingrich mocks “Al Gore’s global warming,” citing “the largest snowstorm in New York City’s history”: “We were in the middle of budget negotiations; the football games were coming up and we noticed on the weather channel that an early symptom of Al Gore’s global warming was coming to the East Coast. And it does make you wonder sometimes, doesn’t it, how theoretical statisticians in the middle of the largest snowstorm in New York City’s history could stand there and say, ‘I don’t care what it’s doing. It’s going to get very hot soon.’” [FDCH Political Transcripts, 1/16/96]
1997: As Speaker of the House, Gingrich co-sponsors H. Con. Res. 151, which notes carbon dioxide is a “major greenhouse gas” that comes from “products whose manufacture consumes fossil fuels” and calls on the United States to “manage its public domain national forests to maximize the reduction of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.” [H. Con. Res. 151, 9/10/1997]
2007: Gingrich calls for a cap-and-trade system with tax incentives for clean energy. “I think if you have mandatory carbon caps combined with a trading system, much like we did with sulfur, and if you have a tax-incentive program for investing in the solutions, that there’s a package there that’s very, very good. And frankly, it’s something I would strongly support.” [Frontline, 2/15/07]
February 15, 2007: “I think if you have mandatory carbon caps combined with a trading system, much like we did with sulfur, and if you have a tax-incentive program for investing in the solutions, that there’s a package there that’s very, very good. And frankly, it’s something I would strongly support.” [Frontline, 2/15/07]
In a debate on climate policy with Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), Gingrich says “the evidence is sufficient that we should move towards the most effective possible steps to reduce carbon-loading of the atmosphere,” and that we should “do it urgently.” [ThinkProgress, 4/10/07]
In a Washington Post chat, Gingrich rejects a cap-and-trade system, saying it “would lead to corruption, political favoritism, and would have a huge impact on the economy.” He says he supports “tax credits for dramatically reducing carbon emissions.” [Washington Post, 4/17/08]
2008: In an advertisement made for Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection, Gingrich sat with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and said that “we do agree our country must take action to address climate change.” [We Campaign, 4/18/08]
“I don’t think that we have conclusive proof of global warming. And I don’t think we have conclusive proof that humans are at the center of it.” [Newt.org, 4/22/08]
April 4, 2009: “And now, in 2009, instead of making energy cheaper—which would help create jobs and save Americans money—President Obama wants to impose a cap-and-trade regime. Such a plan would have the effect of an across-the-board energy tax on every American. That will make our artificial energy crisis even worse—and raising taxes during a deep economic recession will only accelerate American job losses.” [Newsweek, 4/4/09]
Pell grant for K-12 schools - Gingrich thinks more Federal government involvement in schools is a good thing.
SCOZZAFAVA
Gingrich supports radical leftist Dede Scozzafava (whom he champions as a “moderate Republican”) is getting heated pushback from Dallas Tea Party activists raising their voices at Borders Books in Dallas.
Here Gingrich snarks that conservatives who object to backing radical leftists don’t think Reagan was conservative enough:
I should have mentioned that my last post was a joke. My bad.
Actually, my mother wouldn’t be caught dead buying Tokyo Rove’s book. She’s a leftist Democrat who’d be occupying Wall Street if she were in better health. She spends her days on the Daily Kos and Alternet, I believe.
My mom and I get along great, as long as we don’t discuss politics. We do give each other gag gifts, however. Last Christmas (”yuletide” in my mom’s native tongue) I got a subscription to the International Socialist Review. She got a copy of Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism from me.
Sorry for any confusion.
Newton Gingrich could “win” the debates with Obama but still be declared the loser because he speaks above the level of simple platitutdes that the sheeple can comprehend.
Ah! Much relieved. I had a cousin actually do that with his mother. It was sad for both of them.
Ok, she probably just thought she was buying you a book you would like even if she didn’t. And it’s hard to come up with gift ideas for people who have so much.
