NEWT: SPEAK BOMBASTICALLY AND CARRY A TINY STICK

December 14, 2011

Fellow right-wingers: Is our objective to taunt Obama by accusing him of "Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior," of being "authentically dishonest" and a "wonderful con" -- and then lose the election -- or is it to defeat Obama, repeal Obamacare, secure the borders, enforce e-verify, reform entitlement programs, reduce the size of government and save the country? 

If all you want is to lob rhetorical bombs at Obama and then lose, Newt Gingrich -- like recent favorite Donald Trump -- is your candidate. But if you want to save the country, Newt's not your guy. 

Gingrich makes plenty of bombastic statements, but these never seem to translate into actual policy changes. 

After becoming the first Republican speaker of the House in nearly half a century, for example, Newt promptly proposed orphanages and janitorial jobs for children on welfare. 

It was true that welfare had destroyed generations of families shorn of the work ethic and led to soaring illegitimacy rates, child abuse and neglect. Maybe orphanages and child labor would have been better. 

But we didn't get any orphanages. We didn't get jobs for children in families where no one works. 

What we got was the cartoonish image of Republicans as hard-hearted brutes who hated poor kids. 

Ronald Reagan was also accused of waging a war on the poor. But that was on account of his implementing historic tax cuts that produced not only record revenues for the government, but decades of prosperity for the entire nation. 

With Newt, you get all the heat, blowback and acrimony, but you don't get the policy changes. 

To the contrary, his pointless bloviating about orphanages and child janitors harmed the chances for welfare reform, despite the fact that the American people, the Republican Congress and the Democratic president (publicly, at least), supported it. 

Indeed, when it came time to make vital changes to welfare policy, such as work requirements and anti-illegitimacy provisions, Gingrich tried to scuttle them. He denounced such provisions -- the very heart of welfare reform -- as, yes, "social engineering of the right" (e.g., Republican Governors Conference, Williamsburg, Va., Nov. 22, 1994). 

The guy who wanted orphanages for children on welfare suddenly called work requirements for adults on welfare right-wing "social engineering." 

Gingrich went on to lose almost every negotiation with Bill Clinton -- and that was with solid Republican majorities in both the House and Senate. His repeated capitulation to Clinton led former Vice President Dan Quayle to remark that the Republican "Contract With America" had become the "Contract With Clinton." (Not to be confused with Newt's book, "Contract With the Earth.") 

Perfectly good policies are constantly being undermined by Newt's crazy statements -- such as his explanation that women couldn't be in combat because they get infections, whereas men "are basically little piglets," who are "biologically driven to go out and hunt giraffes." 

Hunt giraffes? 

With Gingrich we get the worse of all worlds. He talks abrasively -- offending moderates and galvanizing liberals -- but then carries a teeny, tiny stick. 

We want someone who will talk softly and unthreateningly while implementing vital policy changes. Even when Gingrich doesn't completely back off conservative positions, his nutty rhetoric undermines the ability of Republicans to get anything done.

The woman is stealing my schtick. Yesterday, December 13, at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2820054/posts I said “....I’ve always found Newt to be an interesting guy who is interested in knowing how things link together. About all I know about Mitt is that he lost the pizza wars. I don’t think Bain made much of anything on the deal. (Cain, in contrast, brought Godfather Pizza back from the dead)..........

A President Gingrich would have the Democrats hooting in derision every time Newt brought up something interesting to folks ~ like “why are beer bottles brown but Cheracol is in clear glass” ~ or, when he makes a reference to “when men were hunting giraffes”..............

Dems are just that way. The slightest thinking outside the box, or a factoid drawn from real life’s experience (rather than a made up victimolological void) is usually way beyond their interests or their ability to be interested.......” That’s obviously a copyright violation despite the fact she REVERSED the implications. I let Joe Morris steal my stuff but not Ann. She’s jumped the reservation and no longer qualifies.

Ann recognized that McCain...though he seemed conservative...was not one at all. But she has total blinders on when it comes to Romney...the ARCHITECT of Romneycare and certainly not a conservative. She is going all out for “electability” while truly ignoring that the media have not yet sharpened their knives for Romney..he’s their guy until the general just as McCain was their favorite Republican until the general election.

Buh Bye Anne!
We’d like to help you out. Which way did you come in?
Christie, now Romney.

Gingrich would respond to a Conservative House and Senate. Not so Rombot.

[Belteshazzar]

No, the new rule is to post only pictures that clearly show the dark roots of her dyed hair. This will help us all picture the deception she is pushing.

——But she has total blinders on -——

Not blinders, money. Mitt must be paying her.

[thestob]

she has become one obnoxious wench

Thanks, but all I need to know is probably on this thread. Does she say anything on behalf of Romney or is she just lobbing clumps at Gingrich?

Methinks Ann is a split personality. Not Romney-grade split but given time, maybe.

I agree. Coulter is just another single feminist lawyer who sees we conservatives as easy marks to make a buck off of. She doesn't even have the judgement to keep those scrawny Icabod Crane-like toothpicks put away in the presence of Katie Couric.

[OldPossum]

so long Ann! we hardly knew you.

You're damn right that some--maybe most--Freepers never knew her. They thought that she was the greatest thing since sliced bread and now the true Ms. Coulter is revealed.

[Joe 6-pack]

Ann may be completely wrong about Mitt, but IMHO, she’s got a pretty clear bead on Newt.

[ngat]

I think a Gingrich-Romney ticket is now out of the question.

[Syncro]

I always thought she was a believer in a God of salvation through Jesus.

Not "a" God, but THE one true God of the Bible.

There is only one God.

That she is---a believer in the God of salvation through Jesus.

Ann Coulter = David Frum

She’s bilked right wingers for all the money she needs.

[Wolfstar]

Coulter is actually getting on someone’s case about speaking bombastically? Has she never heard herself speak?

[vortigern]

Bye Bye Ann. Don’t let the door hit you in your skinny ass on the way out.

I absolutely love Ann Barnhardt.

Arguably the strongest, bravest, outspokenist woman on the political scene today.

[b9]

When I grow up, I want to be just like Ann -
Barnhardt.
