Newt Gingrich is GOP’s Frankenstein monster come to life
The panic of the GOP’s Washington establishment has become, well, entertaining. The conservative movement that they have designed and programmed so carefully is in the process of going rogue on them, and that rogue has a name: Newt Gingrich.
But they have brought this on themselves. He is their creation.
If you indoctrinate your members to believe that compromise equates to defeat — if that becomes a core principle in your movement’s identity — how can you demand they compromise by accepting Mitt Romney as their nominee? Is that not defeat on the most important decision the party can make?
If you tell them that being Republican requires obedience to every single tenet of Republican doctrine — George Will this week noted that the party is “more ideologically homogenous than ever in 156 years of competing for the presidency” — how can you sell them on a candidate who is so transparently insincere in embracing that doctrine? Isn’t that a betrayal? (Gingrich is equally insincere; he’s just better at hiding it.)
And if you have nurtured your base on the red meat of anger and resentment, building an elaborate media infrastructure to generate fresh outrage to feed upon, you have prepared the way for a demagogic leader with a genius for that style of politics. With his intellectual veneer and flair for the outrageous, Gingrich doesn’t merely throw the crowd red meat, he throws them Kobe beef, broiled to perfection.
Meanwhile, Romney offers soy burgers. Go ahead, eat it. It’s good for you.
And this is the tough part: For years, you have imbued your voter base with a deep distrust of the media, the establishment and the elites, to the point that distrust is now programmed into the movement’s DNA. The harsher the media attack, the more enthusiastically the party faithful now rallies behind its target.
That trait has proved useful, producing a party base that to a large degree is immune to outside influence. But in these circumstances, what mechanisms do you use to convince the base that Gingrich would be a disaster to the party and to the country? How do you reach them? You can’t use the mainstream media, and moderate voices preaching caution from Washington simply have no impact. In fact, they confirm the false image of Gingrich as a fellow outsider.
Newt understands that dynamic very well, having helped to create it. He has made an ostentatious point of refusing to attack his fellow Republicans, saying he will not participate in a media conspiracy to divide the party. It is a wise response, perfectly attuned to the mindset of the base, and you can expect to see him offer it repeatedly in tonight’s GOP debate from Iowa.
In fact, tonight’s debate (broadcast at 9 p.m. on ABC) is likely to be the most important of the party’s two dozen or so forums, because it comes at a critical time. Unless Gingrich self-destructs, and soon, the party establishment and intelligentsia will have to spend the next few months trying to discredit him while shoving Romney down the throat of a GOP base that gags at the thought. And maybe it’s what’s left of my naivete, but I have to think that patriotism is also playing a role in that desperation. The party elite know Gingrich; they understand that proposing to put Newt in position to be president of the United States would, in its own way, be as grossly irresponsible as putting someone like Sarah Palin in that role.
They just don’t know how to convince the rest of the party of that fact, because it requires unlearning so much of what they’ve been told to believe.

Sooth,
Comparative advantage in a nutshell says let each nation do what they do best and at a cheaper cost and export that service or good. For example we will lose and have lost textile jobs to China and the rest of the world. The result? We lost thousands of lowpaying $10 textile mill jobs but we are able to buy washclothes and other products at cheaper prices than ever before. Overall we are better off as a whole even though there was short term pain to some who lost their jobs. If someone else can do something cheaper and better than let them. We’ll have some short term pain to some of our workforce but overall will be better off.

Romantic relationships work best if both partners respect and admire each other; if each believes he or she is lucky to have the other.
The feelings associated with love are fantastic, but love does its best work as a verb, where each partner constantly works in the best interest of the other.
Why do you think Obama smiles so much and is not a Frankenstein monster! Because he is a HAPPY MAN at home!

TD – outsourcing may be the future for high tech jobs, but I disagree with the highly intelligent part of your statement.
Most of the ones I am running into in the business sector are no more than mediocre. They do not understand business at all and have to be hand held throughout the entire project.
It may be a lack of communication skills or business training at the ‘colleges’ they graduate from in India.
But they do work cheap. They are mostly coming through Indian owned consulting companies here in the US and are paid very low (US) wages and are put into corporate apartments that very few would want to live in.
That said some I work with are outstanding (most of these have been in the US a while). But on the whole don’t you think it would be worth it to put several hundred thousand STEM workers back to work and end the H1b visa program?

Comparative advantage – A situation in which a country, individual, company or region can produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than a competitor.
Absolute advantage – The ability of a country, individual, company or region to produce a good or service at a lower cost per unit than the cost at which any other entity produces that good or service.
Low-wage countries are always going to have an absolute advantage over developed countries.
The real question is do we want an impoverished United States to save a few pennies on a finished good? I think most Americans are beginning to wake up and say no. This is especially true in that China imposes a 25% tariff on U.S. goods coming into their country and we impose a 2.5% tariff on Chinese goods coming into this country.
Most corporations, who are behind outsourcing to increase profits, are the main drivers behind outsourcing.
So, in fact, they have abandoned their own people in favor of workers in low-wage countries and really don’t care about the misery and suffering they cause.
And, for that matter, neither do most Americans unless they, themselves, have been affected.

Common Sense,
In reading your statement in retrospect I would have to take back some of what I said and defer to your comments. I know quite a few of them also since several of my friends are in IT and yes you’re right. A lot of them are more about rote memorization or being trained to do a specific type of programming but as far as being good businessman in general or understanding business many of them are indeed sorely lacking.
What I find odd is that a few of them that lived in corporate apts liked their apts or regular apts for the long term. But I knew several of them that had no tv, no furniture, just a sleeping bag or blankets on the living room floor. Very simple but I found it strange that they didn’t want to invest $50 in a cheap tv at walmark or some really cheap furniture. I can’t imagine sitting in an empty apartment with nothing to do but they seemed not bothered in the least. Way to spartan for Doomy.

I agree with you that the conservative movement is not as intellectually rigorous as it should be, although some form of vulgar conservatism is probably needed for a mass movement. Likewise, left-liberalism isn’t exactly intellectually defensible. The left has never even tried to lay out a theoretical blueprint for their side starting from first principles. Instead, the foundation upon which left-liberalism lies is nothing more than discovering a real or imagined problem and agitating for action which will supposedly solve that problem. At best, liberals tend to solve that problem, but at the cost of creating 5 more problems. In the worst case, they also make the problem they tried to solve even worse.
Out of the Republican field, only Ron Paul qualifies as an intellectually minded candidate. Fortunately for our country’s future, he is the most appealing candidate in the field to younger voters and his supporters are the most intelligent and most passionate. Sadly, he tends to attract some fringe elements due to his status as an outsider who is opposed by both the left and right wings of the media establishment. Paul is also undeniably the most conservative candidate on economic issues and the only fiscal conservative in my view out of the 5 still standing (Romney, Gingrich, Paul, Santorum, Huntsman). But the rhetoric-only Tea Partiers (AKA Republican Base) won’t support him because Paul has a realistic and sane position on foreign policy. They’d rather support the mandate-supporting Global Warming-believing Freddie Mac lobbyist fraud who denies the existence of a Palestinian people and wants to make the fanatic John Bolton his Secretary of State. Thank God Newt Gingrich has no chance of winning a general election because this country is finished if John Bolton is permitted to turn the entire world against us.

Jay, your thoughts and observations of Republicans are close, but no cigar. You think Newt would be a disaster. We think even with his faults he would be such an improvement over Obama that his past aggressions are given little thought. The GOP elite are hoping he will blow up just as do you.
Similar to you, who has no true understanding of conservatisism because you are not one, the party elite are on the left side of conservatisim.They just aren’t as far Left as you.
You are also off on the red meat. Kobe would be great, but raw please in the political.
You have the anger part correct, but its more from an awaking than party teachings.

Thulsa: Economics is an imprecise science
I think even that is a stretch. Sure there’s lots of data to analyze but you can never have a “control” like you have in real science. There’s always more than one thing going on in the economy and you can’t know with certaintiy either the effect or the degree of effect and that is with measureable variables like taxes, productivity, trade policy, regulation, government spending and debt, disposable income etc. Throw in some “intangibles” like consumer or investor sentiment and the rest of the world economy and I think the term “science” is a bit much.

I don’t know whether Gingrich would make a good president or whether he’d be a disaster. What I do know is that when he was at his heights of power in the House back in the mid 1990s, that a lot of great things happened for the country. Most of the agenda that Clinton ended up taking credit for was actually forced upon him by the Gingrich Congress, from Welfare Reform to capital gains tax rate cut to balanced budgets and then surpluses. When Gingrich stumbled and was forced out by other Republicans — seems to me that’s when the Republican Party lost its way and went on spending sprees that made them indistinguishable from Democrats, that is until the Tea Party came along.

You liberals and your double standards are pathetic.
But you just keep pushing your crap disguised as political opinion, Jay. Don’t mind the pathetic nature of it.
Your only two posts of this thread oozing negativity.
Explain to me again that it’s not your caustic personality and everyone elses fault that you can’t retain employees.

“…George Will this week noted that the party is “more ideologically homogenous than ever…”
News Flash: The Republican Party announced that the unfortunate homo reference has been dropped. Instead the Party is now “more ideologically pasteurized than ever…”.
