Newt Gingrich Unveils Plans To 'Replace The Left' - HuffPo
Newt Gingrich Outlines Plans To Republican Governors
LIZ SIDOTI | 11/18/10 03:40 PM

<snip>

SAN DIEGO — Newt Gingrich on Thursday urged GOP governors to turn what he calls "the rejection of the left" into "the replacement of the left" by enacting conservative, transformational policies in the states.

"The great victories of 2009 and 2010 are only the beginning," Gingrich said. "The elections of 2011 and 2012 must create a Republican majority large enough and durable enough to replace the increasingly leftist political system which has dominated America since 1932."


The former House speaker and possible 2012 presidential candidate outlined a dozen steps governors can take to make what he calls "transformational change" in a speech to the Republican Governors Association conference. Among them: requiring the jobless to take training programs in return for unemployment compensation, moving toward replacing President Barack Obama's health care law, and paying good teachers more while cutting loose bad ones.

He also announced plans to hold five Internet seminars to flesh out those proposals.

18. Same kind he always has...
Same kind he smoked when he blamed "liberal morality" for Susan Smith drowning her kids and blaming a fictitious black man (when being molested by her Robertson For President/Christian Coalition stepdad might have been a bigger influence)...

Same kind when he blamed "Welfare values" where two people killed a pregnant woman and took her not-yet-born baby (the only one on welfare was the victim)...

Newt's MO has been that he will say anything to push an agenda and rally the support of people who love a bully.

7. I just don't get it...
Do these idiot voters think that after 8 years of G.W.Bush that life was better for them? Freaking Republican idiots! They want just a few more years, to destroy whats left of the country. What was it, someone said about making government so small, you could drown it in a bathtub?

11. The pukes live in their own fucking bubble.
You're right - they don't get it. After 8 years of Bush fuck-ups and screw-ups, you'd think the pukes would be like "OK we were wrong". They're so afraid to admit they're wrong - on everything!!!! - that the only answer is more of them (or their scarier, stupider teabagger counterparts). Fuck Newt and everyone who thinks like him.

10. Bwah-ha-HAH: "create a (Rethug) majority large enough and durable"
The "elephant" in the room is that if every eligible voter actually voted there would not be a Rethug in any office anywhere, not to mention that the core component group of Rethug-ism is SHRINKING and will be a minority.


But my first reaction to the "replacement" word in the quote was too obvious, something to do with "extermination" and such.

This p.o.s. is considered to be an intellectual among Wingnuts?!1 Even my local ex-radio wingnut talkshow host who never saw a wingnut talking point he didn't swallow and regurgitate considers him a hypocritical, well, p.o.s.
