Newt's Past and Future Leadership

Real Clear Politics ^ | 12-14-2011 | Tony Blankley

[C. Edmund Wright]

Almost all political commentators agree on one thing. The Republican presidential campaign is unlike any we have experienced. It is not a campaign of steady trends and continuities, but rather of emotional reversals and discontinuities. Perhaps this is so because the last 3 to 4 years have been a shocking time of discontinuities and reversals for America. (snip) (So) what kind of candidate is most likely to make sense of the terrible events and forces that weigh down our country; be capable of vividly describing our plight and what needs to be done; and convince the public that he or she has the intelligence, courage, experience and sheer willful capacity to force events favorably to America's historic interests and needs? (snip) Curious. I remember most of them enthusiastically following his leadership year after year as the Republican whip from 1989-1994. It was the most successful congressional opposition movement since Benjamin Disraeli formed the modern Conservative Party in Britain in the mid-19th century. And after the GOP took back the House for the first time in 40 years (and the Senate, too, by the way), Gingrich's four years as speaker proved to be the most productive, legislative congressional years since at least 1965 to 1967, and they were led by Lyndon B. Johnson from the White House. Working against -- and with -- Democratic President Bill Clinton, we passed into law most of the Contract with America, welfare reform, telecommunications reform (which ushered in the modern cell phone and Internet age), we had the first balanced budget since before the Vietnam War, we cut taxes and lowered unemployment to under 5 percent.

Now someone has to compare that with Mitt accomplishments.

What has he done to/for America anyway? - other than bring his big gov’t/socalistic mindset to America. What hillary wanted, what Mitt accomplished and what Barry followed.

The woman has sure signs of delusions of grandeur, which surfaced long before she decided she was being pushed to report an affair with Herman Cain. We may eventually realize that she is a sociopath. Those types are tough to spot when they set about to scam you, as this woman did to Herman and Gloria Cain. Delusions of grandeur are common with sociopaths.

Everyone that has an opinion you don’t like gets smeared by you.
It must be very lonesome in your world.

Bless your little heart, what was it in post #80 that set you off? You don’t like reading Jim’s words regarding Gingrich? ... or was it the videos that tipped you over the edge? Bwahahahaha

Matthew 5:21-22
New International Version (NIV)
Murder

21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,[a] and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’
22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister[b][c] will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’[d] is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.

Footnotes:
Matthew 5:21 Exodus 20:13
Matthew 5:22 The Greek word for brother or sister (adelphos) refers here to a fellow disciple, whether man or woman; also in verse 23.
Matthew 5:22 Some manuscripts brother or sister without cause
Matthew 5:22 An Aramaic term of contempt [d]
