In a limited sense, Beck’s right.
I’m been posting for a while, that Newt considers himself an historic figure, a great man. He routinely compares himself to Churchill, the Duke of Wellington, Thatcher, Washington, FDR, Reagan, Lincoln- et al-— all iconic figures.
And that’s why I’m voting for him.
In 2013, there will be only one path to greatness, and that’s to return the country to a constitutional republic. Since Newt’s ego cannot allow him anything but greatness, that’s how I know that he will lead the country in a conservative direction. He has no other choice-he’s pinioned by his ego.
And yesterday, on cue, he said this:
“I am running to fundamentally change the entire structure of power in Washington D.C., to move this country back to the Constitution, back to the Declaration of Independence, back to the principles that have made America historically great,” he said to enthusiastic applause.
“So I am happy for the academic left, most of the elite media, and virtually all of the left-wing Democrats to understand: this campaign is about the end of their dominance of the United States and the development of a new center of power called the citizens, in which we take power away from Washington and return it back home. It is that simple.”
I have no doubt– that’s exacting what he intends to do—make wholesale historic change—and that’s why the Establishment and their minions hate and fear him— because they can’t control him.
Could say the same thing about The Won.
