The Scheming Demon Newt Gingrich

The always scheming Newt Gingrich has devised another crackpot scheme to beat Mitt Romney in South Carolina.  Newt is attempting to get both Rick Santorum and Rick Perry to drop out of the race and endorse him for president.  He will offer Rick Santorum the vice presidential spot and offer Rick Perry any position he so desires in the Cabinet including Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of the Treasury, and even Attorney General.  Remember, you don’t need to be a crooked attorney to serve as Attorney General–all you need to do is to be a ruthless crook.  If they collude and accomplish that scheme, the ever slimy Gingrich could possibly pull off the greatest heist in political history.

Mitt Romney should devise a counteracting strategy should they join forces against him.  Romney should work out an agreement with the Ron Paul forces and join together in a counter-strategy.  The rumor has already been floated that Ron Paul is trying to get Mitt Romney to take his son, Rand Paul, on as his runningmate. Ron Paul is 76 years old going on 77 on August 20–too old to be Romney’s runningmate for two terms. Notice that Ron Paul does not attack Romney as he attacks the others and particularly how he attacks Rick Santorum. He desires to eliminate Santorum as a possible runningmate to Romney to pave the way for Rand.

Newt Gingrich is a very offensive man who speaks just like Obama in attempting to divide, not unite people. Listening to him on television makes me want to barf.  Newt Gingrich has adopted the Democrat playbook by opposing capitalism and free enterprise.  He denigrates Bain Capital and everything else that is part of capitalism and free enterprise.  It is a known fact that Newt Gingrich has a very bad past record. His hero is socialist Franklin Delano Roosevelt for goodness sake! Newt has a whole host of skeletons in the closet. He does not deserve to be the POTUS. Actually, he sounds like angry Donald Trump when he gets off from being a nice fellow. We absolutely cannot have a man like that serving as our next POTUS.

To show you Newt Gingrich’s sordid track record for illegal, immoral, and unethical schemes, look at the skeleton closet full of skeletons that the Obama campaign team will have at their disposal to use to combat and defeat a Newt Gingrich challenge (http://www.realchange.org/gingrich.htm):

Newt Gingrich is smarter than you. Don’t feel bad, he’s smarter than everybody else, too. Just ask him. Or look at what he’s done.

Repeated adultery with younger women, while each successive wife was seriously ill — and all along Newt was proclaiming himself a champion of family values. Attacking mortgage lender Fannie Mae, while secretly getting paid $1.6 million as a lobbyist for them – and claiming he was a “historian,” not a lobbyist. Attacking Congress for gridlock, when personally led the destruction of Congress’ civility and traditions in the 1980s as a “bomb-thrower” and evil genius tactician. (Seriously, look it up.) A half-million charge account at Tiffany’s Jewelers for his latest, youngest woman (that we know of).

All this for 30 years running, and he’s still a leading contender for President as a religious, morally crusading Republican? Yeah, he’s smarter alright. As a historian, he knows Americans forget anything over 5 years old, and the press will ignore your long-term character traits if you give them any new, shiny story to report.

It’s not that Newt lacks charm. My personal favorite thing is that he loves, loves, LOVES dinosaurs! Not in any creepy way, for once, but with the deep enthusiasm of a five-year-old boy. For that matter, notice how many of his “visionary” scientific ideas involve lasers and outer space and huge explosions. That’s adorable. The problem is, most five year olds have a sincere narcissism that would lead them to happily order far-off cities destroyed if they got some candy in return. That’s why we don’t put them in charge of the world.

But ultimately, Gingrich is amazingly similar to Bill Clinton – two are pot smoking, draft-dodging adulterers from poor Southern families. Click on the allegation of your choice:

Quotes:

“We had oral sex. He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, ‘I never slept with her.’” – Anne Manning (who was also married at the time.)

“We would have won in 1974 if we could have kept him out of the office, screwing her [a young volunteer] on the desk.” – Dot Crews, his campaign scheduler at the time

[In the book] “Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them”, [I] “found frightening pieces that related to my own life.” – Newt.

“I think you can write a psychological profile of me that says I found a way to immerse my insecurities in a cause large enough to justify whatever I wanted it to.” – Newt, speaking to Gail Sheehy.

“She isn’t young enough or pretty enough to be the President’s wife. And besides, she has cancer.” – Newt, on his first wife.

“I don’t want him to be president and I don’t think he should be.” – Newt’s wife Marianne.

“She [Callista] is the single most self-centered person I’ve run into in politics—it’s all about her. They do these movies together, and she does a word count: she has to have the same number of words on camera as he does or they have to reshoot. …And Callista did not want him to run for President. That’s why he had to buy her so much damn jewelry.” – Will Rogers, Gingrich’s Iowa strategist until he quit in May, 2011

“If the country today were to move to the left, Newt would sense it before it started happening and lead the way.” – Dot Crews, his campaign scheduler throughout the 1970s.

“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.” – Newt.

Adultery:

Sex on the Desk – Oral Sex is More Easily Denied

Several newspapers are now reporting that Newt Gingrich is dating and basically living with Callista Bisek, a “willowy blond Congressional aide 23 years his junior.” Biske, 33, has been spending nights at Gingrich’s apartment near the Capitol and has her own key. In an amazing act of hypocrisy, Gingrich was apparently dating Bisek all during Clinton-Lewinsky adultery scandal, even as he proclaimed family values and bitterly criticized the President for his adultery.

Reporters and other Washington insiders have known about this relationship since 1994, even before Gingrich became Speaker of the House, but did not have any solid proof to report. In 1995, Vanity Fair magazine described Bisek as Gingrich’s “frequent breakfast companion.” Gingrich was married to Marianne Gingrich during all of that time, and just filed for divorce in August 1999.

Newt is apparently trying to create a new hybrid form, Christian adultery. According to MSNBC, Bisek sings in the National Shrine Choir, and Newt would often wait for her at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, listening to her sing while he read the Bible.

This is hardly the first time Newt has cheated, either. “It was common knowledge that Newt was involved with other women during his [first] marriage to Jackie. Maybe not on the level of John Kennedy. But he had girlfriends — some serious, some trivial.” — Dot Crews, his campaign scheduler throughout the 70s. One woman, Anne Manning, has come forward and confirmed a relationship with him during the 1976 campaign. “We had oral sex. He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, ‘I never slept with her.’”

Kip Carter, his former campaign treasurer, was walking Newt’s daughters back from a football game one day and cut across a driveway where he saw a car. “As I got to the car, I saw Newt in the passenger seat and one of the guys’ wives with her head in his lap going up and down. Newt kind of turned and gave me this little-boy smile. Fortunately, Jackie Sue and Kathy were a lot younger and shorter then.”

Family Values? Pressing Wife for Divorce in the Hospital:

“He walked out in the spring of 1980…. By September, I went into the hospital for my third surgery. The two girls came to see me, and said, “Daddy is downstairs. Could he come up?” When he got there, he wanted to discuss the terms of the divorce while I was recovering from my surgery.” – Jackie, his first wife. One of Newt’s daughters from that first marriage, who is also a conservative columnist, recently disputed that story (after Newt co-authored a book with her), saying among other things that her mother Jackie had initiated the divorce and that “the tumor [removed in a surgery the day before] was benign.” Of course no one knew the tumor was benign at the time, so I don’t know why that is supposed to matter. And CNN recently found court documents that show that Newt did in fact initiate that divorce. In any case, I’m inclined to believe the wife this happened to over the account of her daughter, who was a child at that time.

Dead-Beat Dad:

The hospital visit wasn’t the end of it, either. Shortly after the cancer ward visit, Newt stopped paying alimony and child support. Jackie had to take Newt to court to get him to contribute for bills, as utilities were about to be cut off.

Draft Dodger:

Though he relentlessly pushes military spending and talks like a bigtime hawk, Gingrich avoided the Vietnam War through a combination of student and family deferments. (He married one of his teachers at age 19.)

Problems With Women?

Newt pressed his first wife to sign divorce papers while she was still in the hospital recovering from cancer surgery. He also graciously said “She isn’t young enough or pretty enough to be the President’s wife.” But his second marriage hasn’t been that smooth either. Newt and Marianne have been separated – “frankly”, she told the Washington Post in June 1989, “it’s been on and off for some time.”

Does Newt have some kind of problem with women? He has said that he read a book called “Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them”, and “found frightening pieces that related to my own life.”

Incidentally, Marianne told Gail Sheehy she doesn’t want Newt to run for President. ” I told him if I’m not in agreement, fine, it’s easy. I just go on the air the next day, and I undermine everything. … I don’t want him to be president and I don’t think he should be.” Newt’s response? Marianne “was just making the point hypothetically” that he would not run unless she agreed he should.

House Banking Scandal: Newt Bounced 22 Checks

Remember the House Banking scandal, where so many congressmen wrote rubber checks on government money? Newt hopes you don’t, because he bounced 22 himself, which almost cost him reelection in 1992. His vote for the secret House pay raise, and the chauffeur who drove him around Washington in a Lincoln Town Car, didn’t help.

Lucrative and Questionable Book Deals: Murdoch’s $4.5 Million wasn’t the first

  The 1995 Murdoch Deal — The 1984 Book Deal

The 1995 Murdoch Deal

You probably heard something about Newt’s book scandal. He was offered first $2.5 million, then $4.5 million by Harper Collins, a publishing company owned by Rupert Murdoch, who also owns the Fox TV network and newspapers and TV stations around the world. Murdoch has been having problems with a complaint by NBC that Fox is a foreign owned TV network, which is against US law.

In the past, Harper Collins has offered million dollar book contracts to several conservative politicians in countries where Murdoch was having regulatory trouble, including England (Margaret Thatcher, Jeffrey Archer) and China (Deng Xiaoping’s daughter). A week after the initial offer, Newt met with Rupert Murdoch – and Murdoch’s legislative lobbyist – to discuss politics, including the NBC complaint. As facts about the deal were made public, and even Republicans criticized him, Gingrich decided to give up the $4.5 million advance for a still-lucrative deal based on royalties.

Gingrich’s story kept changing through the controversy. First, Newt’s spokesman said that Murdoch knew nothing about Gingrich and the book deal. On Friday January 13, Newt’s spokesman admitted that Murdoch actually met Newt on a park bench the week before the deal was made, but didn’t talk about it. He also said he knew nothing about Murdoch’s lobbyist being at their meeting. The next day, he admitted the lobbyist was there, but claimed he didn’t say so because no one asked.

Newt also said repeatedly that the book wasn’t his idea; that a literary agent named Lynn Chu had sought him out and proposed it. After Ms. Chu said that Gingrich’s associate Jeff Eisenach called her first on Newt’s behalf, Eisenach and Newt’s spokesman admitted that was true.

The 1984 Book Deal

Murdoch’s book deal wasn’t the first lucrative and controversial book deal Newt engineered. In 1983 he established a limited partnership in Atlanta called COS Limited, which pulled together about two dozen of his biggest campaign contributors to finance his book.

The former administrator of his congressional offices in Georgia, Dolores Adamson, resigned over the deal. “The manuscript was put together in the district office using office equipment,” she said. “He would just come in and say ‘This is what I want to do.’ I would say, ‘This is not ethical,” but after a while he didn’t listen.” That office equipment, of course, was paid for by US taxpayers including you.
