As so it begins.
I may not read Drudge, you may not read Drudge but they still read Drudge.
This will not make some people very happy.
The 11th Commandment
Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican. - Ronald Reagan
The headline story on the 1980s era webpage takes you to the National Review Online, suprise!
The story basically is written by some Reagan has been who is claiming that Newt was as big a lying, pompous, ignorant dick back then that he is now.
Some choice tidbits:
Snipet from one of Newt's floor speeches:
“Measured against the scale and momentum of the Soviet empire’s challenge, the Reagan administration has failed, is failing, and without a dramatic change in strategy will continue to fail. . . . President Reagan is clearly failing.”
&
“his(St. Ronnie) administration’s weak policies, which are inadequate and will ultimately fail”; partly to CIA, State, and Defense, which “have no strategies to defeat the empire.” But of course “the burden of this failure frankly must be placed first on President Reagan.” Our efforts against the Communists in the Third World were “pathetically incompetent,”
But Wait! What about the classics you may ask?
Such was Gingrich’s faith in President Reagan that in 1985, he called Reagan’s meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev “the most dangerous summit for the West since Adolf Hitler met with Neville Chamberlain in 1938 in Munich.”
LOL, Newt claimed Reagan was just like Chamberlain.
The article goes on and on and is quite a fascinating read.
And so it begins.....
