They should haunt him. The “amnesty” sensitive hairs on the back of my neck went straight up when I heard him say that, with his carefully crafted phrasing. Gingrich tries WAY too hard to appear scholarly and intellectual. The problem with going to such great pains to appear that way, is that there are those of us who are also scholarly and intellectual out here among the “great unwashed masses”, and I listen very carefully not just to WHAT someone says, but HOW they say it and the specific words they used. Gingrich’s debate comments were carefully crafted to infer “amnesty” without saying “amnesty”, and infer “legalization” without saying “legalization”.
Plus, it’s a TERRIBLY flawed concept, and very bad logic, to suggest that if you have been here, ILLEGALLY for TWENTY FIVE YEARS, that you can be made acceptable in the eyes of the law. The flaw being, get good enough at breaking the law and being here illegally for long enough, and you will have effectively passed the evading the law test and we’ll make you kosher. BAD BAD precedent to set!!! That’s not even considering the problem of, why 25 years? Why not 24? OR 26? And how does one PROVE they’ve been here UNDOCUMENTED AND ILLEGAL for TWENTY FIVE YEARS!!! The very definition of that status makes clear, they are under the radar, off the grid, and there are no pay records or billing records present to prove their presence here for 25 solid years. That’s impossible to document so it’s a foolish suggestion. Also, FURTHER beyond those points even, our laws are laws, and if you are going to start selectively enforcing our laws like liberals have for decades now, you are taking a hammer and chisel to the bedrock foundation of our nation! Equal justice FOR ALL! You start tinkering with things that overlap any part of Equal Protection, and you invite some serious push back that will NOT be good for Constitutional conservatism. I haven’t seen the part that said “if you’re good at breaking our laws for some undetermined period of years or decades you get a pass not granted to the citizenry”. Someone cite that part for me, it’s not in my Constitution or Bill of Rights or any of the Federalist Papers or founders writings I’ve ever read.
And the simple fact is, as soon as you tell all these VERY long time ILLEGAL ALIENS they can be legal without it being amnesty, and be allowed to stay and work on the grid, without having citizenship all those years or being granted it right away now, THAT is a violation of equal protection under the law, and the ACLU and other flaming liberal groups like La Razza and others will howl at how unjust that is and take it to court demanding full amnesty and citizenship for them. And they will win, the Supreme Court is loathed to go against precedent, even with the four flaming socialistic liberals on the court today being a slim minority, conservative Justices prove to keep to the law even if it’s sometimes in opposition to their conservative principles. So Gingrich’s oh so planned and carefully worded suggestion on how to handle decades long serial illegal aliens is deeply flawed and no matter how you try and massage the meaning of words, it’s still amnesty and legalization for people who have flipped the big middle bird at America for a quarter century. Rewarding criminals and those who deliberately ignore our laws is NOT a good thing to do, and it invites MORE blatant disregard of our laws and Constitutional values. It’s a mistake, period. And if Gingrich was as smart and conservative as he claims to be, he would understand that. Which is why I cannot support an establishment secular moderate or RINO like Gingrich or Romney in the Primary unless they were ALL there was. And they are not.
Beyond all this, I have a very hard time trusting anyone that’s been part of the political establishment for as many decades as Gingrich has. Lest we forget the House Banking Scandle in 1991 that VERY nearly cost Gingrich his House Seat before he was even Speaker. Gingrich wrote TWENTY TWO of those rubber checks! Documented, proven, fact. Then the later fact that he lost the Speakership and was run out of the Congress in 1999 because of the Ethics Laws he violated as Speaker. It is a matter of record that the things Gingrich did were totally wrong and NOT legal. He stepped down from the Speakership and resigned his seat on Jan. 3, 1999. The specifics being that he used tax deductible charitable donations, to fund a non-charitable course that he taught, and giving false information about that to the House Ethics Committee. THAT is a serious problem. The Democrats brought 83 trumped up charges, but even all Republicans agreed that this charge was legitimate, documented and proven, and not acceptable. The passage of 14 years does NOT negate the fact that he did things he KNEW he shouldn’t have done. Using money from donations to fund a class that he’s teaching, and then getting paid for teaching that course, and THEN LYING to the Ethics Committee about it. He must have known considering how smart he puts such effort into trying to prove he is. If he’s that smart, he knew what he was doing was wrong. If not, then he’s too dim to be President. Which is it? Too dumb to know he’s doing wrong, or so smart he figures he can break laws with impunity? Because it did happen. He clearly knew it was wrong, or he wouldn’t have committed the calculated act of lying to the Ethics Committee to cover it up. No one lies to cover something unless they know they did wrong and need to lie to cover it. These are two MAJOR character indicators that cause me to have great concern with him as a potential President. Haven’t we had enough liars, manipulators and serial egotists as President? Up to and including the current foreign born socialist despot? How is it an upgrade changing from one arrogant egotistical secular establishment career politician with serious character flaws to another from a different party???
And while I do believe that ANY politicians personal life is their personal life, and their family is strictly off limits, there is one major exception I have to that. When a candidate is proved to have done something that is wrong in private life that has legal consequences, that clearly becomes relevant when considering a candidate for high office like President. The proved fact of the matter is, while Gingrich’s first wife had cancer, he WAS having a sexual affair with at least one woman, Ann Manning, herself married at the time, so both of them cheating on their spouses. AFter his first wife with cancer divorces Gingrich, he marries Ann Manning, and then Gingrich cheats on Ann Manning, with Callista Bisek. Three wives, and his second and third wives are his mistresses he had while still married to his first and second wife. This is FACT people, documented legal fact. Indesputible, even Ann Manning has admitted this in many interviews. All the while, Gingrich is going after Bill Clinton for his affair with Monica Lewinski, and Gingrich is as big a punk slut piece of crap as Clinton is. What amazing hypocrisy. These are facts, and no one can dispute that with any source material, you can only disagree with any of this by using emotion, conjecture and opinion. It happened, it is fact.
To put it altogether. He writes 22 rubber checks against tax payer money as a member of Congress. Violates Congressional Ethics Laws, makes money teaching a class he funds with tax payer charitable donated money, then lies to the Ethics Committee to cover it up cause he knows it’s wrong and illegal to do so, and has a sexual affair while his first wife has cancer, marries the mistress and then has a sexual affair with someone else while married to her. THAT is the Republican answer to Barak Obama!!! Are you frikkin kidding me???????? Three Democrt “Chicago Way” women with multiple bankruptcies and civil cases as defendants and reputations of making false, hire Democrat lawyers and make sex harassment allegations against Herman Cain, and now a woman claiming an affair with him, who is proved to have been convicted of Libel, with several cases brought to court with her as the defendant, also a documented history of filing FALSE sex harassment complaints against OTHER men, AND multiple bankruptcies and two divorces, one of the ex’s saying he’s sure she’s lying, with 70 texts sent in two years, any only 17 of them FROM Cain TO her, and most of the 53 she sent asking him for money to pay her bills, and she also hires a flaming Obama supporting liberal lawyer. Not a shred of evidence to back up these accusations from any of these four train wreck woman and their wreckage personal, financial and legal lives they’ve made for themselves. And somehow THAT means Cain shouldn’t be President, with 43 years married and in the work world, taking multiple businesses from the brink of failure to profitability and success, fighting Hillary care and Obama care over the years, and supporting all conservative causes. But all the facts on Gingrich above, shouldn’t be considered and there’s FACT to back up ALL of this on Gingrich.
Finally, I know what some say, personal is personal. My problem is this. We all got a big lesson in the 90’s of WHY character matters with eight years of smut and slime Clinton brings with his lack of character and ethical moral foundation. Character matters. The President MUST have good character and a good sense of what is right and just, and what is moral and ethical. THAT is what makes a good President. If a man or woman can’t be trusted to keep their marriage oath and be faithful, even when their spouse has cancer, and they miserably fail at that EASY test, HOW can anyone contend they can keep their oath as President and by trusted to keep their oath as President, and somehow succeed in the VERY DIFFICULT test of being President, keeping their word to the American people. There is a MASSIVE disconnect in that logic. If you have proven in your life, you are not trustworthy, you steal and write bad checks, you cheat on two wives with woman, while one wife has cancer even, and then use your office to persecute the President for doing the SAME THING YOU ARE DOING (hypocrite much?), and you use tax payer money to create a class that you teach and get paid for it, and then you LIE to the Ethics Committee to cover that up, and now endorse amnesty without saying “amnesty” and Citizenship without saying “Citizenship”, HOW HOW HOW in God’s name can he be considered as an honest, ethical, moral man with good character that can be trusted to keep his word and his OATH to PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FROM ALL THREATS FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC!?!?!?! People like Gingrich ARE a threat to the Constitution with his behavior the past 20 years!!! HOW can anyone NOT see that? They’ll give credence to lying money grubbing women with histories if filing false sex harassment complaints, creating financial ruin for themselves, and even being convicted of libel, without even the shadow of a piece of evidence to back it up, and dismiss Cain with that, but IGNORE ALL THESE FACTS about Gingrich, and support him? What a total crock. If you’re a conservative and you support Gingrich, you really need to take a step back, check your emotions at the door, and look at the facts of Gingrich’s life the past 20 years. It’s not pretty, and it flies obscenely in the face of conservative Christian and Constitutional values. Being lectured by Gingrich on conservatism or the principles of the Constitution would be akin to being lectured by a whore on the importance of chastity. There’s too stinking much at stake in the country right now for a man like Gingrich, who wants to play “do as I say, not as I do” games with us, because he wants to be President now.
I don’t even need to go into Romney because his liberal Massachusetts RINO establishment flip flopping existence is impossible to ignore. First thing he does when speaking on issues is see if he’s in a red or blue state to know which position to take. He’s spent more time on his hair than he has any kind of consideration of true conservative Constitutional values, and he’s as establishment as Gingrich is, and even MORE liberal than Gingrich. They both are like a bad stink in a flower shop when you compare their positions to true conservative Constitutional values. And I base that on fact and 25 years of reading the Constitution and founder’s writings and NON-REVISIONIST American History watching politics in action and seeing the lies and corruption at play. Gingrich and Romney are part of the CAUSE, NOT the solution. Flush the slander and liberal media hit pieces, look at FACTS, and put the establishment RINO life time politician hacks out to pasture. Elect someone who’s actually worked for a living. Clearly the Democrats identify Herman Cain as the threat, he’s the one they’re focusing on with their smear campaign. The sooner Conservatives start supporting Cain as the one liberals are most afraid of, the sooner it will be a certainty that Obama will be defeated. I quote liberal Obama supporting journalist Joe Klein with Time Magazine. when he was interviewed on Andrea Mitchells MSNBC show Wednesday Nov. 30th, he said Newt probably is a ore serious contender than Herman Cain was. Cain was clearly just a parking place and especially after we started to attack Cain. Then, you know Republicans, populist Republicans, decided to support Cain, just to send us a message. When a liberal journalist from a liberal magazine says on the record that they are attacking a conservative candidate like Cain to get him out, in favor of an establishment long time politician like Gingrich, who would still be in Congress if he hadnt been forced to leave for the laws he broke, any conservative should look at that very carefully and not get sucked into the Gingrich trap. He is immanently defeatable just like Romney. If they thought they could beat Cain they wouldnt be trying to hard to slander and destroy him in the Primary. People better wake up or theyre going to GOP RINO establishment politician us right into a second Obama term. Democrats are sitting on all their ammo to decimate Romney and Gingrich. It will not be pretty, and nominating either of them will be proved as a HUGE mistake before the November election even takes place next year. I say wait and see, but if it happens that way, the country is over. It cant survive another four years of Obama and stay a free Constitutional Republic. It cant. Establishment GOP like Gingrich and Romney are not the fix, theyre part of the problem. The sooner all conservatives get that fact, and vote based on it, the better for our country, and the standard of living for our children and grandchildren someday.
