I am so sick of Gingrich taking credit for other people's work. The American people were responsible for 1994. And if any one man was responsible for 1994, it was Ronald Reagan. Gingrich and his supporters try to steal credit for what Reagan did. I'm sick of Gingrich supporters trashing Reagan. Gingrich isn't 1% of the man Reagan was.
Gingrich fought Reagan until he grabbed onto his coat tails. In 1968 Gingrich was the Southern Director for Rockfeller, the anti-Reagan. In 1974 and 1976, Gingrich ran to the left of his Georgia Democratic opponent. In 1976, Gingrich stood with Ford and Rockefeller against Reagan. In 1989, Gongrich cosponsored with Pelosi the 1989 version of Cap & Trade to destroy the economy. I'm sick of this revisionist history painting the man who said, "Clinton makes me melt," as any kind of conservative.
“The American people were responsible for 1994.”
But ask yourself why. Because Newt had a plan and actively campaigned for it. You actually think winning the majority just fell into our lap.
He had a daring plan and actually pulled it off.
In 1980, I was young enough and stupid enough to have voted for Jimmy Carter. A year into Reagan’s presidency I was sold and I have been a committed Reagan Republican conservative ever since. If have to go back to 1968 to find something on someone, you are really reaching.
Go Newt! If he’s not the heir to the Reagan Revolution then who is?
