Tea Party – Housing Manifesto

On the subject of Newt (gingrich – not newtosandiego)

He’s getting some flack for some comments he’s been making recently. Even Chris Wallace was taken aback by his recent comparisons of Obama to Nazi Germany.

I will agree he’s a great policy wonk. I don’t agree with his policies, but he’s intelligent.

(I heard about this on MSNBC… not Keith Olbermann – but Joe Scarborough.)

Of course Newt Gingrich is extremely intelligent.

My problem with Republicans like Newt who used faith and religion as wedge issues is that they don’t have any moral compass of their own.

They are just political tacticians and strategists who will use any weapons at their disposal to win.

Many Republican ideas are good but I find their salesmanship very dishonest.

Newt was married 3 times and cheated on his wives (no big deal to me, but don’t condemn others who have personal weaknesses).

I just want Republicans to abstain from sex before talking about abstinence education and using religious/moral/family values arguments.

Reagan was a congenial guy who made the country feel good while he borrowed and spent out of the recession.

Brian: Stereotype much? So Newt was using religion and faith as wedge issues? When was this?

As far as Reagan’s congeniality: You need to do a little research into old Ronnie’s ideology before you try to sell him as your favorite avuncular Rotarian.

This is exactly what I mean about being unserious, Brian: You throw shit like this out there as fact when, in fact, its nothing more than hyperbole, rhetoric and polemic. This adds nothing to the discussion and is in itself very dishonest.

Thank God the Democrats don’t engage in any salesmanship, right?

Spot on analysis Brian. If you go back and read the Contract with America, at least 4 of the tenants had to do with forcing Christianity on the masses, if I am not mistaken.

He was a veritable Billy Graham preaching from the house floor.

/sarcasm off

Faith and Religion as a wedge? Newt?

Allen when I lived in DFW Dick Armey hosted a speech by Walter Williams that I attended in my more political days. I’ll be damned if I remember much about the content but I am certain much of that night was not the kind of speech you’d hear these days.
