I don’t know if anyone remembers this, but McCain, Cantor, Barbour and one other person had started up a website/page on a new Republican set of ideas....that was pulled down unexplainedly on election night, 2010.

Now, what does that say?

For those who don’t know, Elliot Abrams is a neocon, formerly a Democrat working with Democrat Senators who switched over to supporting Reagan when it became apparent Pres. Carter had a hollow foreign policy.

Abrhams was up to his eyeballs in Iran Contra. Lawrence Walsh, the Independent Counsel tasked with investigating the case, prepared multiple felony counts against Abrams but never indicted him. Instead, Abrams entered into a plea agreement with Walsh and pled guilty to two misdemeanors of withholding information from Congress.

On February 5, 1997, the D.C. Court of Appeals publicly censured Abrams for giving false testimony on three occasions before congressional committees.

He wasn’t exonerated of these crimes, either. He was pardoned by Pres. George W. Bush before leaving office.

Abrams is a Senior Fellow with the Council on Foreign Relations and was a member of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), an American think tank based in Washington, D.C. that lasted from 1997 to 2006. It was co-founded as a non-profit educational organization by neoconservatives William Kristol and Robert Kagan. The PNAC’s stated goal was “to promote American global leadership...” or, more succinctly, Globalism.

Some of us who aren't still wet behind the ears remember when we first met Newt. He was the guy who spoke the truth about Fort Worthless Jim Wright. He was the soul of the Contract with America. He was the man my Russian emigre friend and I clinked Champagne glasses to on the first Wednesday of November 1994 in a class otherwise attended by brain-dead liberals. We didn't do that for Dennis Hastert. We didn't even know who he was.

To be sure, there was the disturbing Global Warming commercial with Nancy Pelosi. At least Newt acknowledged that he was wrong to do that. Has Willard ever similarly acknowledged a political mistake?

Did two little old grandparents driving their car on their way to buy Christmas presents ever "intercept" any Romney cellphone calls? The reason they didn't is that Romney was never a threat to the liberal left. This was the only cellphone call intercepted and recorded so far by ordinary people in the history of electronics. Or maybe it wasn't.

Rush says the liberals will always tell us who their enemies are. Before anyone ever heard of Sarah Palin, they told us they hated Newt.

If this were a problem, not once did Elliott Abrams ever say a word to me.

Uh, that's because Newt wasn't that big a deal in those days.

If some backbencher badmouths the President discussing it usually isn't worth the effort -- and Abrams had a lot of other things to worry about in those days.

Also, a lot of Newt's complaints about Reagan were what Abrams would have heard from his father-in-law, Norman Podhoretz, and this may have been a sore point for him.

This author, Jeffrey Lord, was just on with Mark Levin about a half hour ago.
They basically called Elliot Abrams a big fat liar.

The best part was when Mark played audio of Nancy Reagan speaking at a 1995 GOP fundraiser about how Goldwater passed the torch to Ronnie, and how Ronnie passed the torch to Newt Gingrich. This was contrasted with audio of Mittens from the same era saying how he was “an independent” and a “progressive” and how he didn’t “want to go back to Reagan and Bush”.

It was devastating stuff (for Mittens).

I hope the Gingrich camp is listening very carefully to Mark Levin.
