The UNoriginal trump~ Newt SOB Gingrich the originator of American political division

Hello Bill,



Newt should probably go down in history as one of the most unpatriotic Americans, ever.

He made it popular to care more about party than country.

Yep, & rightly so.........

He'll need to have his headstone repainted in that piss proof paint every year, but he prob feels it is a small price to go down in history right up there w/ Mudd, Booth & Arnold

Interesting thread Bill. For the reader who would like to dive a little deeper into subject see histories linked below.

'Invisible Hands: The Businessmen's Crusade Against the New Deal' Kim Phillips-Fein

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2751831-invisible-hands


A deeper history is here: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/154643.The_Rhetoric_of_Reaction


"President Eisenhower describes his administration's political philosophy as 'dynamic conservatism,' then as 'progressive, dynamic conservatism,' then as 'progressive moderation,' then as 'moderate progressivism,' and then as 'positive progressivism.'" William Manchester, quote from 'The Glory and the Dream'

"Historian Phillips-Fein traces the hidden history of the Reagan revolution to a coterie of business executives, including General Electric official and Reagan mentor Lemuel Boulware, who saw labor unions, government regulation, high taxes and welfare spending as dire threats to their profits and power. From the 1930s onward, the author argues, they provided the money, organization and fervor for a decades-long war against New Deal liberalism—funding campaigns, think tanks, magazines and lobbying groups, and indoctrinating employees in the virtues of unfettered capitalism."

Accurate, the right in the old GOP could never get over FDR, largely cause of his policies, but also personally, tough accepting a figure you couldn’t beat politically
 
Newt was a snake from the day he hit Washington, he learned quickly how to manipulate the bitterness in the country to advance himself. He also came along with the rise of talk radio, so he played the “alternative facts” game to the max knowing he would get reinforcement in that media.

Clinton really burned his ass, stole his thunder, but the best was O’Neil, who repeatedly outmaneuvered him. When Newt realized he could get CSpan coverage and TV exposure, he got in the middle of the night and gave speeches which CSpan covered and played the next day. O’Neil then made CSpan bring two cameras, one to focus on the person speaking and the other to continuously show the vacant chamber. Newt wasn’t happy and raised a stink to no avail

How anti-American could he get?

Before then, it was considered tasteless and shallow to consider fellow Americans 'the enemy.'

He made gauche behavior more common.

What he did was akin to sabotage if not treason...........

He has forever weaken the bonds that hold the Union...

Hello Bill,



It's true.

I didn't know the details of how he did it, but I could see the difference.

Before Newt, there was this detente in Congress. They understood they all shared one thing in common. They were all there to serve the country, and serve their constituents. They would argue out their own views on how to do that during the day, and then at the end of the day they went out to dinner together, bipartisan, across the isle, didn't matter, All disputes from the day were dropped and they socialized as equals and fellow countrymen.

After Newt they ended all of that. There wasn't even any communication that wasn't documented and issue-driven. No socialization, no fraternization, no nothing. Stone wall. Republicans began treating Democrats as an enemy. Since it takes two to have a conversation, there was nothing Democrats could do.

Hopefully, the Trump era was the culmination of that, which led to violence, and Biden can crack the ice and begin to thaw the 'Newt Freeze.'

He broke the old rule of avoiding outing sexual affairs too


He went after Clinton for sex with an aid while he was having sex with his own aid

A moral less evil man

I will celebrate the day he dies

It’s good when evil dies
 
The OP is absolutely correct about the cretin Newt.
Steve Kornacki's great book, The Red and the Blue, tells the story in sharp detail.
