Yesterday we took note of former Reagan State Department official Elliott Abrams' piece over at NRO that went after Newt Gingrich on his relationship with Reagan. While voting regularly with Reagan as a young congressman from Georgia, Gingrich, claimed Abrams, "often spewed insulting rhetoric at Reagan, his top aides and his policies to defeat Communism." Abrams then goes on to cite " a famous floor statement Gingrich made on March 21, 1986."
Or sort of cites it.
In fact, I'm sorry to say, what appears to be going on here is that Elliott Abrams, a considerably admirable public servant and a very smart guy, has been swept up in the GOP Establishment's Romney frothings over the rise of Newt Gingrich in the Republican primaries. He is even being accused of trolling for a job in a Romney administration. No way!!!! Really????
What else can possibly explain a piece like the one Abrams penned on a day when Gingrich was being of a mysterious sudden targeted in one hit piece after another for his ties to Reagan? The pieces invariably following the Romney line that Newt had some version of nothing to do with Reagan.

BTTT!!
Gingrich campaign should go viral with this and do it NOW. Have wondered why his organization is not hitting Drudge with clips on Romney? Romney has a powerful organization working behind the scenes and not all of them are paid staffers...some are in the media. There has to be a way for Newt to get off the defense and start doing OFFENSE! run Mitt ragged and put him in the hot seat. Surely there are clips, info of Mitt and Kennedy working on socialized medicine. We need someone to go slumming for Newt and dig up the past on Romney and I mean BIG time. Take control!
Hey Jim, did you see that Drudge pulled his link to FR? LOL
What a baby!
bttt
I'm sorry I didn't get to see these special order speeches back in those days.
Right up front....I’m not a Newt fan.
However, when I read what Newt was to have supposedly said, all I could say was.....HUH??????????????
Let’s not let the press divide.
What were the Bushes doing??
This is sickening.
The Bushes are supposed to be well-known for their loyalty. How about some loyalty to their son/brother, W?
The Bushes are supposed to be well-known for their loyalty. How about some loyalty to their son/brother, W?
Or some loyalty to their country. What in the world were they doing at the White House? Giving the evil bastard moral support?
I thought Drudge pulled the link to FreeRepublic many years ago. Had he put it back?
This diminishes my opinion of Abrams.
Considerably...
The link is back.
It just confirms my thesis that the Harvard/Ivy League twerps are sticking together like some not-so-secret society.
Gingrich didn’t go to an Ivy, and he’s therefore unworthy of the office of POTUS in the eyes of Romney’s legions of hacks.
Abrams, BTW, is Harvard undergrad and Harvard Law.
Now it may be a bit easier to understand why Elliot Abrams picked up a criminal conviction for his actions as a functionary in the Reagan State Dept. A leopard doesn’t change its spots.
This wouldn't be a defense posture I don't think because the point would be aggressively showing the American people that Romney is a liar. Of course that could backfire if Gingrich hasn't been careful about his assertions. But I'm guessing that Romney has "gone viral" in the sheer volume of lying attacks. Gingrich needs to fire back in force.
