’)Newt Gingrich is one of the people whose name is being bandied about as a savior of the GOP, which is pretty funny when you think about it, especially considering this is the petty yahoo whose temper tantrum was instrumental in the federal government being shut down. But that said, when the Gingrich goes around talking about gay fascists, all that does is keep the GOP in their current configuration as a regional party with its strength located in an America with a decidedly backwards-looking vision of how things ought to be.
Keep it up, jackasses.
I think you forgot to mention that Gingrich and the fiscally conservative GOP were responsible for the balanced budget that Clinton takes credit for.
Riiiight.
That’s why, when we got a fiscally conservative GOP president, the surplus got BIGGER AND BIGGER until now we have so much mo…..wait, what?
In Bruce-ese, the word “fiscally” is indistinguishable from the word “compassionate”. For everyone else though,, we realize that Bush’s main selling point was that he was a “Compassionate conservative” which meant “spend a crapload of money”.
Shorter Farris: I will now disavow the President I doggedly defended for 8 years.
Actually, Farris, in 2000 I thought “compassionate” meant “not heartless like Reagan.” I still thought that “conservative” meant “fiscally responsible.”
Silly me.
Focus Bruce.
The post is about Gingrich, not Bush. Gingrich and the GOP balanced the budget when Clinton was president.
Gingrich would be a good RNC Chair.
YOU focus, Willie.
Follow the thread. The argument flows from point A to point B. It’s called a “discussion.”
See, because, if it didn’t, every argument would be like this:
“No, it isn’t!”
“Yes, it is!”
“No, it isn’t!”
“Yes, it is!”
Kind of like the Monty Python sketch.
Gingrich: “[T]here is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us”
The hypocrisy is so blatant I wonder if they’re even aware of it.
You’ve got one side essentially saying “Let me live my life as I wish. It doesn’t affect you.” And the other essentially saying “I want to tell you what you can do.”
Gingrich and his ilk are, of course, in that second group. Yet they claim it’s the first group that wants to “impose its will”.
Typical right-wing. Crying that they are the victim because they aren’t getting to beat up on other people.
I think you forgot to mention that Gingrich and the fiscally conservative GOP were responsible for the balanced budget that Clinton takes credit for.
BWA HAHAHAHA!!!!
Oh, man, my sides…
