1. “I’m not a natural leader. I’m too intellectual; I’m too abstract; I think too much.” - admitting that he’s an intellectual elite incapable of leading. [I would make a fine President & I've been a philosopher for over thirty years, am a former Mensa member who has dedicated a lot of his “spare” time to figuring out ways to not just help people, but to ready them for independent living. That way, we turn tax burdens into tax PAYERS, so he's full of alternative fuel]
2. “If the Soviet empire still existed, I’d be terrified. The fact is, we can afford a fairly ignorant presidency now.”
[AH HA! that explains a lot, but you can NEVER be that relaxed - remember 9/11. We had an under qualified, smirking failure of a President occupying the most important post in the land. He took up space where & when we needed a great leader. If we learn nothing else from that tragic day, we must learn to have non-exploitative foreign policy & ALWAYS a good leader in the White House.]
3. “The idea that a congressman would be tainted by accepting money from private industry or private sources is essentially a socialist argument.”
[Nope, once again a Republicrite has equated moral & legal, with their favorite fear word – socialism.]
4. “Give the park police more ammo.” - responding to a reporter who asked what to do about the homeless a few days after the police shot a homeless man in front of the White House.
[I was hoping the insensitive knucklehead got censured.]
5. “The problem isn’t too little money in political campaigns, but not enough.” – on campaign finance reform.
[No, Newt, making a problem bigger, doesn't solve it. Basic Logic.]
6. “I have enormous personal ambition. I want to shift the entire planet. And I’m doing it. I am now a famous person. I represent real power.” - Newt Gingrich
[If I ever get that full of myself, please shoot me.]
[OK, that was for comic effect, but obviously there was a need for psychological evaluation.]
7. “Gingrich – Primary mission, advocate of civilization, definer of civilization, teacher of the rules of civilization, leader of the civilizing forces.”
[That is exactly the sort of arrogant elitism that murdered millions of innocent indigenous men, women & children all over the world, making Hitler’s numbers pale in comparison.]
8. “The most serious, systematic revolutionary of modern times.” – describing himself
[See above]
9. “It doesn’t matter what I do. People need to hear what I have to say. There’s no one else who can say what I can say. It doesn’t matter what I live.”
[This is WHY I created the word Republicrite.]
10. “This is one of the great tragedies of the Bush administration. The more successful they’ve been at intercepting and stopping bad guys, the less proof there is that we’re in danger…. It’s almost like they should every once in a while have allowed an attack to get through just to remind us.” - Newt Gingrich, at a book talk in Huntington, NY, April 2008, saying that Republicans should allow terrorist attacks on American soil to remind us of the dangers in the world.
[May God protect the innocent souls he ALLOWS TO BE MURDERED, if he ever gets into the White House.]
11. “Now, we don’t get rid of it in round one because we don’t think that that’s politically smart, and we don’t think that’s the right way to go through a transition. But we believe it’s going to wither on the vine because we think people are voluntarily going to leave it — voluntarily.” - admitting that while they won’t kill Medicare outright, Republicans will try to make it wither on the vine and die
["HOW DOES THIS MAN LOOK INTO A MIRROR AND ACTUALLY LIKE WHAT HE SEES?"]
12. “She isn’t young enough or pretty enough to be the President’s wife.” - talking about his first wife after divorcing her
[See above again]
13. “I read Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them and I found frightening pieces that related to…my own life.” - talking about his problems with women
[WELL, How could ANY mere mortal measure up to his opinion of himself?”] [Yes, Sarcasm]
14. “It is tragic what we do in the poorest neighborhoods, entrapping children in child laws which are truly stupid…These schools should get rid of unionized janitors, have one master janitor, pay local students to take care of the school.” - apparently advocating for an end to child labor laws so businesses can fire union workers and replace them with cheap labor.
[THIS is what passes for a "good idea" to the Republicrites, something condemned as inhumane over a century ago.]
15. “We should replace bilingual education with immersion in English so people learn the common language of the country and they learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto.” - Demonstrating cultural insensitivity, yet two years later, Gingrich unveiled a new Spanish-language website, The Americano.
[When a politician opens his bigotry closet, PAY ATTENTION. When he later panders to that same group, REMEMBER.]
16. “The left-wing Democrats will represent the party of total hedonism, total exhibitionism, total bizarreness, total weirdness, and the total right to cripple innocent people in the name of letting hooligans loose.”
[I’m wondering if he is brain-damaged, brainwashed, or brain fried on LSD. Also, the 2012 field of G.O.P. Presidential candidates could certainly be considered an “exhibition”, or even a “side show”.]
17. “These people are sick. They are so consumed by their own power, by a Mussolini-like ego, that their willingness to run over normal human beings and to destroy honest institutions is unending.”
[This is how he describes the Democrats, while advocating the destruction of anything that helps anyone & tries to help undermine organized labor – remember, it was formed when “honest institutions” refused to do anything about unsafe working conditions AND paid NOTHING to the injured worker, or dead worker’s family. WHY DON'T AVERAGE AMERICANS PAY ATTENTION to things like this? HOW DO THESE PEOPLE GET NEARLY HALF THE VOTES? The desire to help people cannot be held within the mind of a person like he describes. What he describes is the Republican Party, not the Democratic Party. The mental health issue he demonstrates is called “transference”. You may remember it as “no, I’m not, YOU are”.]
18. “I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don’t encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat, obedient, and loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words.”
[HE IS ACTUALLY RIDICULING MORALS FROM WITHIN THE PARTY THAT CLAIMS TO BE THE MORAL ONE. Think for just a moment about how Jesus treated people. Now, think of the 2 parties and the actions they have taken within your lifetime. I think that’s all I need to say.]
