Seriously? Newt!
Posted by Roy Bischoff under: Presidential Election 2012 .
We have stated that we do not wish to be negative on this website unless absolutely necessary. Well, when a wolf comes among the sheep dressed up like a sheep, that is certainly time to lift our voice and expose the wolf. Newt Gingrich is a wolf.
So many Americans fell for his charm and articulate delivery during the early and mid-nineties, but when he admitted to having affairs during his marriages, I realized his talk of morality was a farce. Through the years, I have read articles by some of the Republicans who served with Gingrich and was disturbed to hear that he was a conservative in name only. He is an aggressive hawk, but not a true conservative in most ways. Strange that everyone talks about Romney and health care, but few know about Gingrich and his comments and proposals regarding mandated health care.
When headlines today announced that Newt is polling at the top of the Republican field for the presidency, I decided to do some research. It was worse than I had feared. Instead of sharing some of the worst information, (some quoting Newt, his ex-wife, and his daughters to prove the twists and ugly turns) I will simply share a few quotes that will show he is not a true conservative. Following are only a few examples out of many I could choose from:
Newt Gingrich is no conservativeby Gene Healy11/14/11And in his 2008 book “Real Change,” he endorsed an individual mandate for health insurance.
It’s also unclear why anybody looking to distance himself from Pelosi would plop down on a love seat with her to call for government action on climate change — as Gingrich did in a 2008 television commercial.
It was a season of bipartisan chumminess for Newt. “Kerry and Gingrich Hugging Trees — and (Almost) Each Other,” the Washington Post described a 2007 global warming event Gingrich headlined with Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.
On foreign affairs, Gingrich’s ideas are a little less conventional, but his apocalyptic saber rattling hardly instills confidence. “We need a calm, reasoned dialogue about the genuine possibility of a second Holocaust,” he told an American Enterprise Institute audience in 2007.
