Newt up against the Prophet Obama would be a painful thing to watch. He might be deft with one-liners but it would be futile. There are .. uncommitted voters to be cultivated in 2012 — all would be unmoved by Newt’s juggling of conservative shibboleths..
Now Newt is hustling my fellow conservatives .. The last time around he successfully hustled conservatives in the House of Representatives and on the House impeachment committee.. He blew the impeachment and .. his role as Speaker. He now says Republicans in the House were exhausted with his great projects. Nonsense, they were exhausted with his atrocious leadership...
He is playing the liberal media card and saying he embodies conservative values. Newt is hoping conservatives suffer amnesia. Perhaps they cannot recall mere months ago when this insufferable whiz kid was lambasting the great Congressman Paul Ryan for “right-wing social engineering” — more evidence of Newt’s not-so-hidden longing for the approval of the liberal media.
Newt and Bill ..went on to create empires, Bill in philanthropy and cheap thought, Newt in public policy and cheap thought. Bill has wrung up an unprecedented $75.6 million since absconding from the White House with White House loot and shameless pardons. Newt .. got between $1.6 million to $1.8 million from Freddie Mac, and he lobbied for Medicare Part B while receiving, according to the Washington Examiner’s Tim Carney, “Big Bucks Pushing Corporate Welfare.” Now after a lifetime in Washington he is promoting himself as an outsider.
Conservatives should not be surprised by the scandals that lie ahead, if they stick with him. Those of us, who raised the question of character in 1992, were confronted by an indignant Bill Clinton, treating the topic as a low blow. By now we know. Character matters.. Newt has Clinton’s character.

Everything that I posted is from my memory of what was posted on this forum and as you know this forum covered the Clintons like no other.
Lott was leader of his caucas but Gramm was the senator who was appointed to work out the rules of the trial. Hyde and all those on the impeachment committee that tried the case in the Senate felt that it was Gramm who sold them out by limiting the rules of the trial. They were prepared to try Clinton under a different set of rules and learned late in the process that Gramm had been the one from the Republican Senate who agreed to limiting the rules.
Thank you for the in depth history. I have forgotten much through the years.

It is accepted etiquette that if you are going to mention someone you should ping them.

So you can’t even debate Newt vs. any of the others here? It’s be on the Newt bandwagon or be banned? How is that exploring ideas or just having a civil debate?
A member since 1998 gets banned for posting an article questioning Newt?
Kind of sounds like what we accuse the left of.
And I have a real issue with an adultress as First Lady.
Starting to look like the French Revolution around here. Who’s next?
I eventually had to drop my subscription to his magazine because, while I loved the indulgence of reading it, so much of what I was getting from the magazine was too flaky and undependable, I just couldn't trust what I was reading.

Take it up with Jim. I’m sure you’ll find a sympathetic ear.
that’s funny because I did the same exact thing, not sure what happened but it became a bad joke.
That period has passed, now we are fighting for survival.
The time for debating choices is over, the focus now is in stopping Mitt Romney.
Clinton WAS impeached, by the House, as will forever be reflected in the official record. Like Gingrich or not, one cannot say with any historical accuracy that Gingrich “blew the impeachment”.
The decision whether to convict an impeached President rests solely with the US Senate, not the House. If I recall correctly (and I do), Gingrich was not in the Senate. Gingrich did his job. The Senate “blew” it.
This seems like it has been going for a while, which is a shame. I noticed this with some Palin and Cain threads.
You been relegated to hall monitor these days? It doesn’t become you.
You are perhaps referring to her being a “quitter” half way through her governorship, or is there something else you were referring to?
The Club For Growth issued a press release today about Newt Gingrich.
Nobody has posted it. And I’m not going to post it.
Of course, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, just that we aren’t reading it here.
Yet another broken record Republican whining about the “uncommited” or “moderates” or “independents” that for some reason, to these people, run to socialism just because the GOP candidate might tell it like it is.
BS. Why don’t these voters ever run to the right with the viral and demonic crap coming out of the mouths on the left? According to these whiners that never, never happens.
I thought the same, but I’m new and have no say. i was hoping that it was the snide comment by the poster and not the content of posting the article, which I hadn’t seen and like to read all kinds of points of views.
