"Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing,--
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."THE REAL NEWT GINGRICH NOT A CONSERVATIVE... "Smartest guy in the room." "A genius." "Brilliant." "Fantastic to listen to, he was a history professor." but, did you notice conservative isn't one...This isn't story about Newt's shopping sprees at Tiffany's, his marriages and divorces or his adulterous affairs. It's about a man who will go to any lengths or side with any faction to achieve his agenda.
Behind his quiet demeanor and
voluminous vocabulary is a man who will use any means to justify whatever he
does or wants to do. He justifies his lack of morals, principles and ethics
with a sword of soft spoken words. As president he would be as dangerous to
Americas future as a free nation as any autocrat.

Inner Quest of Newt Gingrich
"Newt Gingrich is playing out a personal
agenda in a public forum, and it threatens the safety, health, and security of
our most vulnerable people," says
Mary Kahn. "And that's what frightens me about him. Someday he might be president."
Kahn, a reporter who covered Newt in the mid-70s, also spent time with him
socially until the early 80s as the wife of Chip Kahn, Gingrich's former
campaign manager.
The personal agenda of which Mary Kahn speaks is deeper that any
philosophical or material odyssey. As the Speaker himself said, "I
found a way to immerse my insecurities in a cause large enough to justify
whatever I wanted it to." "Looking back on everything, Newt was
always focused on his agenda," recalls Dot Crews, Newt's campaign
scheduler through the 70s. "It was not about political philosophy with
Newt --never. If the country today were to move to the left, Newt would sense
it before it started happening and lead the way."
Newt Gingrich's political career
began officially in 1973 when he declared himself a candidate for Congress. In
1974 he gave a quote to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution which was
clearly meant for the history books: "[My ambition] is to be an old-time
political boss in 20 years." Not the most idealistic of intentions, but
that was Newt and he has done it --on his own, feverish timetable.
Most of the people who worked on
the Gingrich congressional campaigns during the 70s were actually Democrats.
"My mama said that the only Republican who'd ever done anything for that
part of Georgia was William Tecumseh Sherman," says Kip Carter. "We
downplayed the Republican thing completely...You don't see 'Republican' in any
of the ads or campaign posters." Says James Gray, a professor who was
Newt's officemate for three years. "I voted for him in 1974 and it's the
only time I ever voted Republican. I thought he was a moderate."
He represented Georgia's 6th congressional
district as a Republican member from 1979 to
1999. Gingrich's much touted "Contract with America" was actually a
group effort. The Contract with America was a document released by the
United States Republican Party during the 1994 Congressional election campaign.
Written by Larry Hunter, who was aided by Newt
Gingrich, Robert Walker, Richard
Armey, Bill
Paxon, Tom
DeLay, John Boehner and Jim Nussle,
and in part using text from former President Ronald
Reagan's 1985 State of the Union Address,
the Contract detailed the actions the Republicans promised to take if they
became the majority party in the United States House of
Representatives for the first time in 40 years. Many of the Contract's
policy ideas originated at The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.[citation needed]
Many
on Capitol Hill and across America are just as quick to point out Newt's strong
arm tactics during his tenure as speaker of the House and embarrassing ouster
from Congress. He was later forced to exit Congress after House Republicans
to mutinied against his leadership.
Republicans
blame Gingrich for mishandling budget negotiations in 1995,resulting in a
government shutdown and assuring Clinton's re-election the next year.
He
was later forced to exit Congress after 1998 election
losses caused other House Republicans to mutiny against his leadership. How can
voters trust Newt to lead the White House when failed miserably in the House?
His political
accomplishments are more than a decade old. He was first elected to office in
1978 and served until 1999. Which makes him part of the problems facing
Americans today. Newt Gingrich
Voting Record. Video "The
Real Newt Gingrich". He voted for creation of Dept. of
Education in 1979, in the book, "Toward Soviet America" that was one
of the communist goals - the creation of Federal control of Education - which
has given us dumbing down of America.
Newt voted for 68 million acres in Alaska and 2.2
million acres in Idaho be designated Federal wilderness. This was also written
in "The Communist Manifesto" the abolition of private property.
He voted for $1.2 Billion for UN Peacekeepers, $13 Billion for Foreign Aid,
$31.8 Billion in additional Foreign Aid and could not bring himself to
vote to scale back foreign aid by a measly 1%! He campaigned for
Nelson Rockefeller and advocated reading "The Third Wave,"
"Creating a New Civilization," and "Future Shock," written
by his good friend (Newt wrote the forward) Alvin Toffler.
He granted "Most favored status" to Communist China with their
slave labor goods that steal American jobs and the most murderous regime in
history. This allowed our $800 Billion Chinese debt dependence on China of
2008-2009. Newt voted for amnesty to illegal's, Federal
loan guarantees to foreign countries and voted to allow taxpayer funds to be
given to foreign countries and to continue foreign aid.
He also voted for and advocated for Cap N Trade and Global Warming
political control opportunities.
Gingrich twice ran unsuccessfully for the House during the eight years
he was teaching college. He won a seat in the election of
November 1978 on his third try and was re-elected ten times. In 1989, he
was selected to be House
Minority Whip.
Following Republican losses in the
1998 mid-term elections, Gingrich resigned as House speaker and as a
congressional representative. Over the next 13 years, he became a highly paid[3] [4] political consultant.
Gingrich Companies one earns $1.8 from Freddie
Mac and Fannie Mae, but the biggest baby is his think tank company that has
collect a minimum of $37 Million advocating anyone who earns over $50,000.00 be
mandated that they buy health insurance.
A think
tank founded by GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich collected at least $37
million over the past eight years from major health-care companies and
advocated reforms that are anathema to conservatives. Gingrich,
who has been under
fire recently for his lucrative consulting business, left the health-care
think tank earlier this year to run
for president. But his time there exemplifies the former Georgia
congressman’s post-legislative career as a well-paid consultant and policy
guru, a role that earned him and his companies tens of millions of dollars over
the past decade.
Newt
Gingrich of three years ago, the former speaker’s for-profit think tank, the
Center for Health Transformation (CHT), also promotes the individual health insurance
mandate:
Gingrich first backed the concept in 1993, “I am for people, individuals — exactly like
automobile insurance — individuals having health insurance and being required
to have health insurance,” he said on Meet the Press. He supported the idea in 2007 — writing in a Des Moines Register op-ed,
“Personal responsibility extends to the purchase of health insurance. Citizens
should not be able to cheat their neighbors by not buying insurance” — and
again in 2008: “Finally, we should insist that everyone above a certain level
buy coverage (or, if they are opposed to insurance, post a bond).” Gingrich
Backs Obamacare's Individual Mandate Requiring Health Insurance.
CHT also works with
business groups that may benefit from the mandate. As Lee Fang has reported, The
Center for Health Transformation and The Gingrich Group are corporate
for-profit organizations not affiliated with any other corporation or
organization..CHT serves approximately 94 health industry corporations and lobby
groups, including health
insurance (BlueCross BlueShield Association, WellPoint, AHIP, UnitedHealth),
health IT (L-3 Enterprise, Microsoft, IBM), and pharmaceutical companies — with
each paying up to $200,000 annually.
His experience at the think tank also illustrates Gingrich’s past
flirtations with moderate policies — on health
care, the environment and other hot-button issues — that have become the
subject of controversy and criticism in the presidential race. Eligible to
