GINGRICH GUT CHECK
I'm probably going to offend a few people who call themselves Republicans, Conservatives, and Christians, but who are in reality RINOS and CINOS (Conservatives or Christians in name only). So be it, I'm calling upon my conservative and Christian friends to take a gut check and act accordingly. If the shoe fits, you have two choices, repent or wear it, but know that continuing down this path, you are part of the problem.
Any who have read my posts and comments know that I abhor the massive amount of hypocrisy coming from the left, and I point it out whenever I encounter it. More often than not, that has left me alone arguing against hedonists and the hedonist agenda. I despised Ted Kennedy, and still despise Barny Frank, Bill Clinton, and a long list of pleasure addicted self-serving politicians whom in the past, we have lifted up in honor to occupy our seats of power.
You also know that whenever a leader who calls himself a Republican or feigns the mantle of conservatism but behaves like a liberal or otherwise immoral goat, I condemn them for it. I expect Democrats to be corrupt, unreliable, and unprincipled but when they infiltrate the ranks of the Republican party, as they always will being human, I want them to stand down or be thrown down with as much haste as we can muster.
If we are Christians, we understand that this war between good and evil, is God's to fight and win. He doesn't need us, nor is our humble contribution of any significance in the final outcome. What we are charged with as Christians, is personally doing the right thing to the best of our ability, and trust in God to complete the process He has begun as He has told us He will.
If we are Conservatives, we should understand that only true men of integrity and faithful commitment to conservative standards can advance our cause. The very essence of conservatism is an ideology grounded in principles of individual rights preserved by self-determination and self-sacrifice as opposed to dependency and selfish pleasures at the expense of others. The twin virtues of Christian morals and conservative values allow 100% of Americans to share the yoke of freedom. It doesn't matter if we are Muslim, Jew, Christian, or Atheist...either one or the other of morals or values allows us to join together in building a prosperous nation where every citizen can enjoy freedom and the right to pursue happiness.
We now have four remaining candidates running for the GOP nomination for President. Three of those, as far as I can tell, are moral men who have dedicated their lives, and more importantly, lived their lives serving God, and caring for their families and the nation.
One candidate however, has a sordid financial, moral, and mental health record starting with having sex with his teacher when he was 16 years old and ending with multiple incidences of adultery, public lying, divorce, depression, and being sued in a court of law before he would even support his own abandoned children through court ordered child-support. Add to that, a disgraceful record of flip-flopping and betrayal that caused his own party members to force him from the House Speakership, and near destruction of the Republic party under his watch, how can it be anything but hypocrisy to support this man over any one of the other three who have honored our values and morals?
Many stand on the assertion that we are all sinners and should forgive. That is a false premise. Only God can reconcile Newt Gingrich's soul and forgive his sins. But as Christians, we must not presume to forgive him on behalf of those he betrayed...we do not have that right. We may pray for him, befriend and help him in any way we can to improve his life personally and financially, but we have no right to lift him over men of greater integrity and place him in a seat of honor and power over our fellow citizens. That would be the same for a Christian, as publicly extolling the virtues of Satan.
Personally I've not chosen anyone to support so far, but I am appalled particularly at so called conservatives who spread lies and slurs against Mitt Romney. His name is butchered and made fun of, and his legitimate business successes criticised. Are we Capitalists or not? If you agree with the Occupy Wall Street crowd and hate capitalism, so be it, but don't condemn a man whom I suspect is hated mostly for his religion, while holding up a socialist and hedonists as your preferred choice instead. We criticise Obama but it is based upon facts not childish emotions.
If you are not a Christian, but consider yourself a conservative and support Gingrich, please reconsider based upon the fact that what has been presented to us as a conservative record for Gingrich is a pure lie. Just one example of Gingrich's fraud that makes my blood boil is his claim of being a Reagan conservative. When most Republicans backed Reagan, Gingrich only begrudgingly joined his party on the record where he would otherwise be exposed, but verbally campaigned openly against Reagan joining with liberal Democrats like Ted Kennedy, Chris Dodd, and Jim Wright in bitter anti-Reagan rhetoric.
Am I the only one that threw things at the TV when Gingrich, desperate to save his own hide, exposed himself as a low life turncoat? Gingrich once called Reagan's meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev, "the most dangerous summit for the West since Adolf Hitler met with Neville Chamberlain in 1938." In a floor statement in 86' he said, "Measured against the scale and momentum of the Soviet empire's challenge, the Reagan administration has failed, is failing, and without a dramatic change in strategy will continue to fail...President Reagan is clearly failing." Gingrich was a turncoat bastard in a clinch then, and I see no reason to trust him today.
In hind sight we know that Reagan was right and Gingrich was wrong, but more important is to recognize that Gingrich was willing to betray everything he professed to believe in and so he bet on the wrong horse because it was in his estimate, the smart career move. That's what career politicians do, and whatever else he is, Gingrich is known to be a career politician, a liar, and adulterer, and a Washington insider influence peddler.
I've only scratched the surface here, so imagine what Obama (and Pelosi) will do with the entire record and months and millions to spend educating America on Obama's opponent. The debates are already set, so the rpeated call for Lincoln Douglas debates by Gingrich is absurd, but do you really think Gingrich could stand up to an Obama armed with Gingrich's true record? Hardly. Let me just say that if you are one supporting Gingrich after this knowledge, you are a hypocrite at best. Don't be a hypocrite...the left already has that post well occupied.

Neo, I read your comments below. I am so gald the internet is available so that we can research and find the things that people said/wrote from before tha t they are lying about now. One example is Gingrich's daughter coming out and saying Gingrich did not discuss their devorice with his wife while she was in the hospital... http://americaneedsmitt.com/blog/2012/01/17/deadbeat-dad-newt-put-kids-work/ I found this article very interesting to say the least....Newt far in debt...not paying child support...infidility....on two wives that were ill....does not say anything good for his morals-nor his ability to control hinself. |
None of the Newt bashing is making me feel any better about candidate Romney. I hate, I repeat HATE gutter-bashing. http://spectator.org/blog/2012/01/26/attention-elliott-abrams-on-ne#comments At this point I only know with complete certitude who I won't be voting for. Obama. |
AJay, thanks for your comment! I appreciate your views, and I respect your opinions even when we disagree! |
http://markamerica.com/2012/01/26/drudge-distort-what-will-be-the-reaction-to-the-war-on-gingrich/ I quote: Limbaugh talked about this extensively on his show today, saying the following, among other things: “It was everything you wish was happening today, is all I can tell you. It was everything you wish the entire Republican Party was doing today. It was led by Newt Gingrich, and what was he doing? He was defending Reagan. Now, all of this stuff that hit Drudge and everywhere else last night about Newt telling everybody the country goes to hell if they continue Reaganism and that Newt insulted Reagan and that the Reagan administration failed and Iran-Contra… I never heard any of that. I started doing this particular program in Sacramento in 1984, and I was just as immersed in national politics then as I am now, and I could honestly tell you this.” "There’s a reason Rush can’t remember it the way Drudge is broadcasting it: It didn’t happen the way Drudge’s site would lead you to believe, and this is simply a desperately disgusting attempt to do to Gingrich what has been done to others with the distortions. A year ago, if you had told me Drudge did things this way, I would have scoffed at it, but now… I’m clearly coming to see Drudge in a different light. I realize that many people have many reasons to be unhappy with Gingrich on one issue or another, and I’m inclined to be annoyed with him too, but this has gone too far, in my view, and I’m not inclined to suffer it any longer. If Drudge is going to be a media participant in this smear-fest, let him, but I won’t be adding much to his page-view statistics any longer. The simple truth is that American conservatives and Tea Party folk are tired of the media and the GOP establishment leading them around by the noses. It’s not that people are so infatuated with Gingrich so much as it is that they are disgusted by these tactics, and they’re simply disenchanted with the GOP establishment controlling the outcome of our primary system."
You're correct in one thing for sure Neo."We are being 'handled' ".
The only question now is WHO is doing "the handling" and WHY? I am not a Republican nor have I ever been. You know I was a Democrat for many years. I am innately suspicious of this sudden foul concentrated attack out of right field immediately before a FLA Primary...which just happens to be (if I'm not mistaken) a "winner-take-all-delegates" primary. Truth is I trust tea party motives far more than any established political party at this point in history. |
First let me say that I was unaware Drudge had posted anything on this. I posted that same video on tunnelhillbilly's site a week ago. Also, I believe there have been claims anew of "sudden attacks" against Gingrich at each debate since Gingrich himself broke his own vow to honor the previously much touted 11th Commandment. I'm not a Rush fan for the very reason that he spends far too much time preaching the establishment mantra...the same thing I have accused FOX and Hannity of repeatedly. Both only tolerate the Tea Party. Most Tea Party members have been framed as supporting Gingrich when the rank and file are anything but Gingrich or establishment supporters. Remember the big feud that errupted among Tea Party groups because the Tea Party Express was seen as a Republican Establishment drive to infiltrate the Tea Party and the posts and comments I wrote warning against the Tea Party forming into a political party or letting any one group ge too large where they risk becoming targets for establishment takeover? Why do you think Glenn Beck was thrown off of FOX AJay? He supported the Tea Party movement, and bucked the establishment forcing both O'Reilly and Hannity to roll back their blatent support for establishment policies. As for the full length PBS video, I encourage anyone with the time to watch it to do so, since it not only supports the extracted section, it reveals just how Progressive Gingrich already was at the time it was taped. He would run out of town on rail if gave that interview today when we've seen the Obama administration in action and know both the code langueage and damage potential of the Progressive movement. The establishment RINOs today call it "Moderate," but back then it was refered to as "Center Right." And what does Gingrich say in the video? That we have to move away from Reagan post Carter ideals and move to the "Center Right." Regardless who is for or against Gingrich, I made up my mind years ago and I'm hoping that his own volumuous historical record has already damaged him beyond repair. Even if he were a loyal conservative, he is emotionally unstable, and far too controversial to do anything but damage the country if he were nominated, much less elected President. I can match anyone article for article on Gingrich, but as I told Nota above I prefer not to at this point. If he is finished as I hope he is, I would prefer to see him get out of the way and allow the rest of the candidates to focus on Obama instead of each other. On top of everything else, Gingrich is an obnoxious pious ass and we already have one of those in office. |
LOL Hope you can read through all the typos. Rushed and answering the phone while typing...this is why I do not text and drive!! |
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV0QkgHvJ-c&feature=youtu.be Mark Levin Teams Up With Jeffery Lord And They Start Swinging In Defense Of Newt GingrichLevin: "If this is what the conservative movement has become.....then I don't want any part of it." I agree with Mark Levin. This crap being invented about Newt IS disturbing. An out and out Repub Party elite SMEAR is being run on Gingrich. From what I see, Romney was never mentioned by Reagan, nor was Romney's Father. So How well did Romney know Reagan's mind? Not at all, is my guess. Yet Nancy Reagan, who was jealously protective of Ronald Reagan was nothing but cordial and well-spoken of Newt Gingrich.
Believe the lies if you will Neo, but beware, Romney has changed his stripes so often he has become a blur. |
LOL Point taken. They do match Obama pretty well, and fortunately there is no budget on words other than overuse does tend to drive readers away. |

Newt may be an SOB, but maybe that's what we need. He would be easier to control than Obama, even the Democrats would help. |
You may have a point there Con. Are you watching the debate? I'll be interesting to hear the comments and polling after. |
That is the problem, Con. Gingrich would be easy to control and the highest payee(s) would control him. |
I can't stand Newt. Never could. Even when he was the fair-haired boy of the Republican party, long before any of the scandals broke loose....there was just something about him I couldn't stand. |
I understand retired. I know how you feel, and I do not disagree at all. I think though that the rhetoric will turn toward Obama once we get past the primaries, and the sooner the better. Almost everyone who has picked their primary pony also says they will support whoever runs against Obama. I'm not picking or criticising any but the one I know who will erode our Constitution and split the party if he wins...that's not his talk, but it is his walk. Read my comment on Nota's Post Constitutional President post and you'll get my drift on that. Thanks very much for your comment and keep the faith my friend...we ain't dead so we ain't done yet. |
Neo, I don't think any Republican woman could ever become Pres/VP. Even if she were a Saint. If the libs didn't destroy her, our party would. |
Hi Marian! Lincoln Douglass style debates would be a dream for Gingrich, with the first candidate getting an hour to speak without interruption, then the opponent having an hour and a half, followed by the first speaker getting a final half hour for rebuttal. There is no chance of that happening since the debates are already set and I think it's a moot point anyway since Gingrich faltered badly last night. I don't know where that leaves us, but I guess we just have to hold on as long as we can and hope we get our country back to a Constitutional Republic! Thanks very much for your comment Marian. I know this post has been a downer, but I'm sure brighter days are ahead if we can just live long enough to see them! lol |
If you think Obama doesn't already have anything you're reading on Blogster, than you're more naive than even I thought. After sniveling for me to leave you alone the other day on your pal winning's blog, here you are trolling with idiotic rhetoric. You've wasted enough of my time proving your lack of depth or reason, so unless you have something relevant to offer, we're done here, right? Right. |
Nope, your done now. You haven't stated anything of substance, but only offered insult and ridicule. See ya troll. |
BTW....can I post this on FB? I don't know what your "settings" are and if its friends only or something like that they wouldnt be able to read it, but some of my FB friends should read this too. |
Ok...hopefully some of my fellow "conservatives" will get a gut check. I'm not holding my breath, but we do what we can. |
I agree with you, moral values very much affect every decision. There is another overarching implication in the present situation. Rather than retyping the whole thing, if you find the time, take a look at my reply to FedUpToHere on his post. Our very existence as a free nation is at stake in this: Too bad Dr. Laurie Roth... Thanks very much for your comment Hershey! :) |
Neo: headed over there now but thought I'd share the nic that Imus has given Newt FYI.... Imus calls Newt : SkunkVomit Full confession: I watch Imus in the Morning cuz I like the music! |
great post and comments Neo,,,NO Newty!Cant stand the man and his form of conservatism HA!,, Love Santorum but don't think he's gonna be the big boys choice to run. |

. Now...on to Newt. It wasn't until this phenomenom, that I truly knew in my heart that "conservatism" was all but dead, at least what I thought of as conservatism. I railed against Clinton and Lewinski all the time saying CHARACTER DOES MATTER, and thought most of my countrymen believed as I did. That is not so. Enter Gingrich. Newt is as bad, if not worse than Bill Clinton ever was and now...because some errantly believe HE can beat Obama, CHARACTER aient so important anymore. Well...good to see that IT IS still important to the sad few of us left. CA above, whom I despise as a useless idiot, said it best in his comments, and he will have the last laugh I'm afraid...well...not the last laugh, but you get my point. Without divine intervention, which I do not rule out, President Obama will remain in his office in January and the destruction of what was Once known as The United States of America will be complete. I'll stop there before I write a "post" in your comment section. Its lonely being a real Conservative these days, glad for your company Neo...hope all is well with you and yours. See ya on the "front lines".
I do not trust Gingrich as I have often said in my comments. He is a self serving flip-flopper. We have one liar, thief and thug in the White House right now. We do NOT need another.
