Don’t blame me for the mess we are in. Newt was, and will always be my pick to be president (and I don’t give a damn about his wives).

[RoosterRedux]

I donated money to Newt (and every other GOP candidate--money I didn't have)...but his heart wasn't in it.

That said, if he were to get really fired up...he could lead us to victory. If not, go away Newt. Write columns and teach and let us stop dreaming of your chances.

[VerySadAmerican]

Yep, Newt has a few ex-wives. Romney’s grandfather a few present wives.

“That said, if he were to get really fired up...he could lead us to victory. If not, go away Newt. Write columns and teach and let us stop dreaming of your chances.”

Ditto for Sarah Palin. She needs to SOGOOTP!

[Westbrook]

I like Newt, but he’s damaged goods.

Not only because of his personal life, but because of that global warming ad with him and Nancy Pelosi on a loveseat telling us how important it is to tax us into penury in order to stop the make-believe global warming bogey man.

[Vendome]

Just unbelievable that this administration of kommunist, caliphate worshiping, calamatous promoting jerk offs is allowed to operate with absolutely no checks by the House.

Yep ...

Newt Gingrich (architect of the historic Contract for America and capturing the House after forty (40) years of Democratic rule) ...

and Nancy Pelosi (a historic figure as first woman Speaker of the House, albeit an idiot) ...

shared a photo-op, discussing, of all subjects, "Global Warming".



Newt's critics have a field day with this 2008 photograph, totally IGNORANT of Newt Gingrich's later confession that ...

"it was the dumbest thing I've done in recent years."



===============================



Newt's critics then attack his 2008 remarks about Global Warming ...

again, IGNORANT of the circumstances involved

and how Newt Gingrich (along with the rest of America) was DECIEVED by the SCIENTIFIC LIES about Global Warming.



Let's have some straight talk about Newt Gingrich's so-called "endorsement" of Global Warming ...


First, assuming you're old enough Westbrook (i.e. experienced, intelligent) you'll agree that, for the most part, scientists' word (especially in published journals) has for decades been very respected.

Right ?

Remember those days, Westbrook ?

Even into the 1970's (unless you were still in diaper-land) scientists were assumed to be honest.

Enter the Hillary Clinton "hippie quasi-Marxist generation", especially as they were graduating with all those PhD and masters degrees in the 1980s.

For some of these "intellectual scoundrels" all that mattered was ideology.

Period.

These folks were the kind (like the University of East Anglia fraudsters) who even FAKED the DATA ... just to advance their Socialist Agenda.



Now, I'm a college-degree Mechanical Engineer who's always been interested in the sciences.

And even when the "Man Made Global Warming Data" was being FALSIFIED for years and years, and then PUBLISHED "as fact" in the leading scientific journals, how could even a "smart educated guy" like me (/sarcasm-off) known that the data and findings were RUBBISH ?

I had neither the "correct data" or access to the "inner scientific circle" to have even known that the Global Warming Data was poppycock.



Now ... what's you technical background, Westbrook ?

Do you have a college degree ? What subject ?

Let's presume that you do, and that it's in "climatology".

Let's next presume (a wild guess) that you have access to ALL of the correct temperature data (you copied it to a 5.25-inch floppy disk before the bad guys erased it on the VAX mainframe).

Now ... let's further assume (really wild here) that you have COMPLETE and FREE access to all of the NASA supercomputers that the "bad guys" used in their Bravo Sierra climate computer models.

Finally ... let's assume you've discovered the TRUTH about the GLOBAL WARMING LIE.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

Now ... go get that news story published.

I'm certain (/sarcasm-off) that CNN, The New York Times, Newsweak, The Economist and Rolling Stone will start a million-dollar bidding war over your new revelation.

Right ?

Unfortunately (as you already know) ... wrong ... wrong ... wrong.

Your GREAT news story about the GLOBAL WARMING LIE gets pigeon-holed.

For ever, or until Rush Limbaugh gets a hold of it.



That was rather a long, sad story, wasn't it ?

What exactly does it have to do with Newt Gingrich and Nancy Pelosi making a joint statement about GLOBAL WARMING ... in 2008 ... 2008 ... 2008?

Newt Gingrich assumed that the respective scientists were HONEST and TRUTHFUL.



And what did Newt Gingrich say in 2011 ... AFTER THE FRAUDULANT SCIENTIFIC DATA was discovered ... that his Global Warming statement with Nancy Pelosi ...

"was the dumbest thing I've done in recent years."



How could Newt Gingrich (being a non-technical person) known the difference ?

How could Westbrook (being a non-technical person) known the difference ?

How could Patton-at-Bastogne (being a TECHNICAL person) known the difference ?



Westbrook, you and Newt and I would ALL been buffaloed by the bravo-sierra data.

So how (being the reasonable man I presume you are) can you make fun of Newt Gingrich for thinking GLOBAL WARMING ...

when YOU would have been BUFFALOED like Newt Gingrich ...

as well as me, too ?



Best Regards,

Patton-at-Bastogne (Free Republic member since 1998)




Meanwhile, take a look at what Rush Limbaugh had to say about the Global Warming Fraud ....


RUSH: You know, there are all kinds of left-wing publications and individuals, folks, who are beside themselves over global warming.

I have an entire Stack of Stuff today on this.

From the Australian newspaper: "Twenty-Year Hiatus in Rising Temperatures Has Climate Scientists Puzzled," and they are all citing a magazine article in The Economist.

"In a lengthy article this week, The Economist magazine said if climate scientists were credit-rating agencies, then climate sensitivity -- the way climate reacts to changes in carbon dioxide levels -- would be on negative watch but not yet downgraded."

Because this story indicates that carbon in the atmosphere may actually be making things cooler, not warmer.

They are beside themselves with rage and anger and frustration in the global warming community, which we know is a hoax now.

That continues to be something that's utterly laughable to me.

We know by virtue of released e-mails from the University of East Anglia in the UK that the whole thing -- the manmade global warming program -- is a hoax.

It's a political hoax.

I realize there are some people who haven't heard this. We have new listeners tuning in each and every day, and I realize that many of you new arrivals here think that global warming is the law of the land.

You've never questioned it, and you think it's happening. Global warming is as real as the sun coming up.

Considering the alternative is impossible, and you believe that people who don't believe in it are literal kooks.

I want to tell you new arrivals about this -- and I know you low-information people are here in increasing numbers each and every day.

How could Newt, “make the biggest mistake of his life.” ??? Is or was he a naïve child, overwhelmed by wolves of disinformation?

Patton Rules...Bastogne was not his best moment.

Anyway, what happened to the Newtster, I miss him.

Well, RedHeeler ...


I sure wish that you'd been around between 2004 and 2008 ...

sharing all your evidence that the Scientists were Lying through their teeth ...

with falsified data ...

from Scientists all over the world ...

including those at NOAA and NASA ...



Just think ... YOU could have saved all of us ...

including Newt Gingrich in 2008 ...

from believing the "mass media propganda machine" LIE

about Global Warming.

[RedHeeler]

Newtie, needed my help, with observing 40 yrs of obvious lies, by the SDS left? How cunning an argument, you present.

[Toespi]

Newt is a National Treasure that slipped through our hands. I know, I know he sat on a couch with Nancy and yes, he has made some bad choices with women which was far more important than his historical and political brilliance. The Brit Hume, Ann Coulter, Fox and Friends, and Michelle Malkin crowd destroyed him, just to prop up Reverend Santorum.

[Joe 6-pack]

LOL...You make it sound as if people have only become aware that global warming is a hoax. In 2004 Michael Crichton published, "State of Fear," which although a fictional story, is actually structured around extensive citations and footnotes of the ample data from studies that even then showed global warming was at best a questionable theory. The novel reached #1 on Amazon and #2 on NYT in 2005. It was hardly obscure scholarship. Sen. Inhofe also called Crichton to testify in front of his environmental committee in 2005, but I guess Newt was too busy fluffing the pillows on his sofa to pay attention to what was going on inside the Capitol building.

[Westbrook]

I’m a EE that morphed into a Software Engineer.

Global Warming was instantly discredited in my view when I saw who was promoting it, the junk “science” behind it, and the push to tax me for it.

Were you ever fooled by it? I was always skeptical, but just a little bit research convinced me it was a ruse.

Anybody who fell for such an obvious ruse is unfit in my estimation to lead the most powerful nation on earth, because either he is too easily fooled, or because he is a trying to impoverish and enslave me.

I’ll give Newt the benefit of the doubt, in spite of his CFR membership, that he was fooled. Pelosi, on the other hand, is trying to impoverish and enslave me. That should have been Big Clue #1 for Newt, because he should know at least that much and not associate himself with such avowed enemies of Liberty.

[Patton@Bastogne]

Westbrook,


You're clearly right that Nancy Pelosi and the "bastard" Obama don't care a wiff about either Global Warming and/or Global Cooling or the Easter Bunny ...

these socialists clowns would use any rationale for making all of us Serfs on the Medevial Collective Plantations.



As to me being fooled by the scientific claims about Global Warming, I just figured that if NASA said it, it was "gold".

Those child-like days are long gone now ...



.

[Westbrook]

> I just figured that if NASA said it, it was “gold”.

You mean NOAA, right?

Heh. I did a lot of work on NASA related projects back in the 70s and 80s. They lost their compass after the shuttle disasters in 86 and 03. Now they specialize in Moslem “outreach”. (roll-eyes)

> Those child-like days are long gone now ...

I hear ya. Can’t trust word-one from the gummint/academic complex. Everything is political with them now. No pure research that I can see in there. The only real research taking place now is in the private sector. (!surprised)

How could Newt, "make the biggest mistake of his life." ??? Is or was he a naïve child, overwhelmed by wolves of disinformation?

Not only because of his personal life, but because of that global warming ad with him and Nancy Pelosi on a loveseat telling us how important it is to tax us into penury in order to stop the make-believe global warming bogey man.

Actually, oversimplified and not quite accurate description of what happened. Newt is often "lost in translarion" and quite often "cuts his losses" — does not bother to waste time explaining to those who don't understand or are "invested in not understanding" what he says or does — which in politics could be

What really happened is much more prosaic, but does explain "the dumbest thing I've done in recent years" statement, which refers not to his attempt to wrest the "green" / "environmental" issues from near-exclusive province of Democratic Party, but to the political aftermath of the ad photo repeatedly posted as the "proof" that he is the AGW Global Warming advocate and believer. In politics, taking chances to do something productive rather than just talking party line is seldom rewarded.

From Pelosi Fires back at Gingrich - FR, post #9, by untwist, 2014 January 08

..... Newt made a mistake sitting down with Nancy, but he never bought into the Pelosi / Obama Cap and Trade model. The leftist model was based on huge penalties and bankrupting localities with taxes if they do not move on the federal govt's demands. Gingrich favored a business incentive, tax-break driven model for companies that invest in green energy.

He was snookered by the left who wanted to use him for leverage to push their wild plans. He agreed in principle to invest in alternative energy. He never was in line with Pelosi's model for strong-handed leftist coercion. This is what has not been explained properly.

From Pelosi Fires back at Gingrich - FR, post #27; 2014 January 08

..... Newt keeps trying to co-opt the "green movement" so it would become easier to promote more of real "alternative" sources of energy (like nuclear) instead of cap-and-trade and "carbon taxes." Co-opt the "green" movement and propose investing in cheaper and cleaner domestic sources of energy, contrast it with the pain of expense, scarcity and loss of mobility and freedom of Gore / Pelosi / Kerry liberal "solutions" and then the real goals of phony "green environmentalists" - money from taxes and expensive wind/solar energy - are gone ... and with the money, a movement itself will fail or join Republicans. Defunding by co-opting (instead of "cooperating" with them in their goals) was the real goal of Newt getting into the arena ..... < snip >

..... Meanwhile, Gingrich's staff balked at what Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection wanted the former speaker to say in the ad. They refused to clear the words "crisis" to describe climate change or for him to say — "We need new laws" — to address it ..... < snip >

..... "We rejected the initial script because it stated positions that we just didn't believe were true," said Tyler. "They wanted Newt to basically talk about global warming, which we would not do. At the time, 'climate change' was seen as a safe thing to say." ..... < snip >

..... About a month after the commercial began airing, Gingrich's now defunct political action group, American Solutions for Winning the Future, began its own advertising campaign — a pro- oil "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less," mantra aimed at blocking legislation co-sponsored by Senators Joseph I. Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, and John Warner, a Virginia Republican, to combat climate change by curbing carbon emissions. ..... < snip >
