Who isn't in DC?
Is that laughable? Especially rich coming from Pat Buchanan.
Pat Buchanan is a Jew-hating racist. Odd to see the MSM citing him as an authority. Or maybe not.
Speaking of core beliefs:
Is Free Trade good or bad, Pat?
Unions?
Israel?
I seem to remember a certain Buchanan leveling a few unwanted criticisms against Ronal Reagan who then ran for President a couple of times - and switched positions on a few key issues.
Brownie points to get his own show on FNC, I believe he just got censored on MSNBC.
Pat Buchanan can get bent. Pat you have provided nothing for the people of this land. You suck!
I would not consider voting for Newt - in 1986. Not in 1996, either.
But this is 2012. He’s older, has nothing to lose, and a legacy to leave. I’d greatly prefer him to Obama or Mitt (or Bob Dole or John McCain or Jeb Bush or...)
Really? I’m shocked. And no national level politician is an opportunist? Or news commentator?
Pat who?
Here is the facts. Leaving Gingriches personal life aside, which he himself has said has been a disaster in the past, Gingrich was the one at the very tip of the spear and brought a conservative landslide into power in the mid 90s. He then forced the POTUS at that time to accept welfare reform-(which later congresses ripped apart) and Gingrich was at the tip of the spear to submit and balance budgets which resulted in huge economic growth. Then after Lindsey Graham and a few others lead the mutiny against him, they managed to get him removed from office and put in another establishment speaker who promptly went to work lining the pockets of every interest group in DC.
The result is that after Gingrich was hoisted from office, and under GW Bush, the elites spent like drunken sailors to line their personal pockets and it really skyrocketed when the democrats took power back over in the 06 election. In short, after Gingrich, the GOP establishment lost everything that was gained under a Gingrich speakership and managed to squander both houses, losing them back to the democrats. All because of their elite establishment mentality.
Gingrich managed to do what Ronald Reagan did not do. He balanced the budget, got a conservative majority in congress, and managed to get reforms passed. Imagine what could have been if Gingrich was speaker under Ronald Reagan. We would have not had Bob Dole rolling over to the democrats when the first balanced budget amendment came to the floor and maybe, just maybe, we would have never had to suffer this crap that we have the last few years.
If Gingrich looses the nomination, he should run as a third candidate. Screw em..ALL OF THEM!
And we are to be wanting and appreciating an opinion on Newt from Pat Buchanan, because???
Oh, that’s right, we don’t need or care about his opinion.
I remember Buchanan best for the many alliances of convenience he made with anybody, no matter their politics, if they’s add themselves and their crew to his third party organization, the organization he revived from the carcas of Ross Perot’s movement.
Talk about “oportunist”!!!!!
The entire operation was a politcial self-employment scam where Pat’s third party organization kept his food and logging and travel and expenses paid on his 365 day continual Presidential campaign, for a number of years, even when it wasn’t a presidential election year. He never at any time polled anyhwre near striking distance, but that didn’t matter, it kept him “working”, it provided the financial means to keep his face in the public eye. It didn’t hurt either that another large recipient of the organization’s coffers was Pat’s sister, hired to manage his perpretual campaigning. For both Pat and his sister, not a bad “oportunistic” job when you can get it, no?
So again, Newt is the victim of another GOP “pot calling the kettle black”.
Talk about opportunist, PB ran for President with a communist in a scheme to snatch campaign funds!
I put Romney in the same boat with Gerald Ford. Never elected vice president and never elected president. Yet people praise him as though he was one of the greatest presidents in history. All I remember about him is “Adjust your thermostats” and “Get a W.I.N. button.” (W.I.N.=Whip inflation now)
Yeah, whatever.
Newt ain’t perfect but he’s the best we’ve got in this race.
Et Tu Pat Buchanon.
hey Pat go up yours.
I’m glad Newt looked the opportunity to lead
Republicans to win the House for the first time in more than 40 years.
et tu, Pat?
That describes every politician.
Newt cooperated with the oppo party more than any Speaker ever, co-sponsoring more bills that any such duo. He did spend a lot of time on her couch, of course.
I still don’t know if he supports the individual mandate or not, he did say he likes about 300 pages of ObamaCare.
He did basically approve of amnesty during this campaign.
Everything a politician does is ‘political opportunism’. I guess except the ones who never flip flop.
Jim, do you have a rogue moderator?
This was posted yesterday on 1/28/12 @ 16:58:46, but it was moved to the top of the list for Front Page news today just a few moments ago. Why would a moderator re-post a story very critical of Newt by a Romney supporter to the top of Front Page?
Just asking is all.
I will bet if this were favorable to Gingrich it would be in front page breaking news; its not so it is bloggerland.Putting up only the Good Gingrich articles does not make it all go away.I can’t stand Romney but denial will get no one nowhere.
