“Mr. Gingrich said he helped create the GOP’s first House majority since 1928”, WRONG, 1948...DUMBASS!
And here I’ve been thinking all along that Ross Perot helped Clinton get elected twice because his business was going to make huge profits processing national healthcare claims.
The sheer panic of the ‘National Topsider’ Establishment GOP is a joy to behold.
THE SPEAKER STEPS DOWN [because the MODERATES kicked him to the curb] … (from the article …)
"There is no doubt in my mind he had the votes to win the Speakership, but I'm not sure he had the votes to govern," said Kenneth M. Duberstein, a former White House chief of staff ...
"What I believe desperately needs to take place is to heal the alienation that currently exists," said Representative Steve Largent of Oklahoma, a conservative football Hall of Famer who announced his own challenge today to Mr. Gingrich's second-in-command, Representative Dick Armey of Texas.
The heart of the Speaker's problems, many Republicans said, is that he had never made an adequate adjustment from being the minority to being the majority, from intense backbench opposition to governing.
The hard-edged partisan bite that worked for Mr. Gingrich in the minority came across as stridency in power, Republicans said. ''Whenever we try to go on the offensive, the White House tries to make Newt the issue and whenever that happens we lose,'' said Peter T. King, a Republican from Long Island.
...... AND the "piste de résistance" ...
When Mr. Gingrich allowed Representative John R. Kasich of Ohio, the budget committee chairman, to try to rally House Republicans around a conservative blueprint for more than $100 billion in new savings [in 1998!], the moderates refused to back it.
It’s “stoopid” if you want to really ridicule someone.
The ad featuring PRO-ABORT RINO Susan Molanari telling real conservatives how bad Newt was. LOL. I needed a good laugh.
Bob Dole helped re-elect Bill Clinton. The worst pick the republican establishment has ever made until Mitt Romney
