Unless true conservatives come out in droves between now and next Tuesday and defend Newt Gingrich, conservatism as a movement could be destroyed or set back for a generation. Mark Levin was especially critical of guys like Bob Dole who was part of the problem.

—————————————————————————————-

Conservative talk radio star Mark Levin offered a passionate defense of Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich on his show Thursday.

Levin was upset at recent attacks against the former House speaker by GOP pundits on the Internet and by Republican politicians in various public forums.

“If this is what the conservative movement has come to, then count me out,” Levin said. “I am not a special pleader for Gingrich. Newt Gingrich and I aren’t friends. We aren’t even acquaintances.”

But Levin took issue with those who cite a TV interview from 1988 as evidence that Gingrich broke from former President Ronald Reagan. “Newt Gingrich didn’t trash Ronald Reagan,” Levin said. “He said going forward we need tactical changes from the Reagan era, not changes in principle, not that we shouldn’t promote Reagan.”

Levin then played an audio clip from the interview to prove his point. “Reaganism is a value system which carried 49 states last time [in the 1984 election],” Gingrich said. “It’s fairly inclusive, more than just a personality issue.”

Republicans must remember that Gingrich was the first GOP speaker of the House in almost 50 years, Levin said. “He was fighting Democrats to win the House of Representatives before most of the people trashing him on the Internet were old enough to wipe themselves … before most of the commentators on TV were switching from Democrats to Republicans.”

It’s OK to criticize Gingrich, Levin said. “But don’t count me among those who are going to destroy the man,” he continued. “You can disagree with the man on substance, but don’t turn him into some Marxist, Reagan-hating mental case, because he’s not.”

Levin is particularly angry with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, an aggressive Romney supporter. “I was appalled when the two-year governor of New Jersey, who has done absolutely zero for the conservative movement, gets on TV and regurgitates all the ethical bull crap thrown at Newt Gingrich when he was speaker of the House.”

Levin’s not too happy about recent criticism of Gingrich from former Sen. Bob Dole, either. “Bob Dole was part of the problem,” he said.

An underlying motive drives the GOP criticism of Gingrich, Levin said. “There’s an effort to clear the path for Romney. If [Rick] Santorum was considered a threat, they’d be pulling out quotes from him and turning him into a pretzel too.”

It’s self-destructive for Republicans to launch negative commercials about Gingrich rather than focusing on President Barack Obama, Levin said. What’s most important is to defeat the establishment.

He had some choice words for Gingrich’s presidential opponent, Mitt Romney. “What was Mitt Romney doing when Newt Gingrich was speaker of the House fighting Democrats? He was running against Ted Kennedy as a self-identified progressive.”

Levin was referring to Romney’s unsuccessful bid to take former Massachusetts Sen. Kennedy’s seat away from him in 1994.

“Newt Gingrich, if he does nothing else, did more for the conservative movement than virtually everyone today who’s criticizing him,” Levin said.

To be sure, Gingrich made some mistakes in the past, Levin acknowledged. “I make no excuses for his personal life, which was a mess,” he said.

“But he has found his faith now, he has found God. Why would we act like Marxist leftists ourselves, like a bunch of frenzied nut jobs trying to turn this man into something he’s not. We would not have taken back the House of Representatives but for Newt Gingrich.”

As for those criticizing Gingrich, “What the hell did they do to take back the House of Representatives?” Levin said.

In a desperate attempt to stop Newt Gingrich, Romney and the GOP Establishment hit a new low…a coordinated attack to take down Newt Gingrich by picturing the former Speaker as a strong critic of President Ronald Reagan. In an era where Ronald Reagan was clearly a visionary in his dealings with Gorbachev, Newt may have disagreed with the President’s approach but to take that one area of disagreement over a lifetime of fighting for Reagan’s agenda is clearly disingenuous. What is disturbing is that many well intentioned people or otherwise had taken the story and ran with it. 

The perpetrators of the smear have clearly chosen to ignore the endorsement of Michael Reagan and Nancy Reagan. Rush Limgaugh and Michael Reagan came out strongly and lambasted the Romney’s campaign:-

 

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Ronald Reagan’s eldest son Mike Reagan has issued a statement lambasting Mitt Romney and his supporters for claims that Romney’s Republican presidential rival Newt Gingrich was a strong critic of President Reagan.

Reagan says such claims are false.

Even Rush Limbaugh, shocked by the Romney claims, chimed on his Thursday radio broadcast to say “This is obviously a coordinated attack to take Newt out here in Florida.”

Rush slammed the Romney-backed smear campaign against Newt.

“That kind of stuff is why people hate Romney so much,” Limbaugh said.

Limbaugh added that Newt has always been a conservative from his early days in national talk radio in the 1980s.

“He was perhaps the premier defender of Ronald Reagan,” Limbaugh said.

On Thursday, Mike Reagan responded to the Gingrich critics with this statement to Newsmax:

“I am deeply disturbed that supporters of Mitt Romney are claiming that Newt Gingrich is not a true Reaganite and are even claiming that Newt was a strong critic of my father.

“Recently I endorsed Newt Gingrich for president because I believe that Newt is the only Republican candidate who has both consistently backed the conservative policies that my father championed and the only Republican that will continue to implement his vision.

“It surprises me that Mitt Romney and his supporters would raise this issue — when Mitt by his own admission voted for Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale who opposed my father, and later supported liberal Democrat Paul Tsongas for president.

“As governor of Massachusetts, Romney’s achievement was the most socialistic healthcare plan in the nation up until that time.

“Say what you want about Newt Gingrich but when he was Speaker of the House he surrounded himself with Reagan conservatives and implemented a Ronald Reagan program of low taxes and restrained federal spending.

“Newt’s conservative program created a huge economic boom and balanced the budget for the first time in more than a generation.”

Mike Reagan concluded: “I would take Newt Gingrich’s record any day over Mitt Romney’s.”

In 2008, Huckabee won Iowa and decided to participate in NH when he could have gone on to SC directly and campaign for a win. Instead, he did poorly in NH, and lost valuable time to counter Fred’s onslaught in SC and came out second to McCain in SC. The rest is history!

So in 2012, it is interesting to know what Newt, Santorum, and Perry would do in the next two weeks. Romney needs to be careful as not to be too focussed on stopping Newt and let Santorum sneak in a winner at SC! My hope is that Newt has somehow stopped his decline and mount a furious fightback! In the primary, i am a ABR&P as in anybody but Romney and Paul!

A strong, free and God-fearing America stands squarely in the way of the One-World-Order. BHO gets an A+ for ushering in this One-World-Order by removing its greatest obstacle- the United States of America.

…..Let’s start with the need to elect a pro-family, pro-life President. The importance of this objective cannot be overstated. Between 2009 and 2012, there will likely be two or more opportunities for the President to nominate new justices to the Supreme Court. Some court watchers say there could be as many as four resignations. That alone should give us serious pause as we consider for whom to cast our votes. In the months ahead, the Supreme Court will likely hand down rulings that will impact America for generations to come. We need a President who will nominate conservative, strict-constructionist judges to the Court. If that doesn’t happen, the highest court in the land could become stackedóeven more than it already isówith justices who will endeavor to legislate from the bench and impose a liberal agenda on the nation. It will likely affect the definition of marriage, religious freedom, and the protection (or lack thereof) of life in the womb.

As we enter the final week of this election season, here is a call to all my fellow Christians to seek the face of our Almighty God to have mercy on this beloved country of ours.

Our Father in Heaven,

We thank you for this great nation that was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. We thank you that you have watched over this nation for the last 232 years. Even as our nation prepares to elect a new President and numerous senators, congressmen, state and local government officials, judges, as well as numerous state propositions, we beseech Thee Lord to have mercy on this country. Lord, first of all, we ask your forgiveness for the sins of our country. As a nation, we have seen fit to murder 2 million babies a year (46 million since Roe v Wade) while they were being formed in their mothers’ womb. Like the blood of Abel, these 46 million babies cries out to you day and night for justice. Yet, You are a merciful God whose Faithfulness endures for a thousand generations to those who love you. Several of our states have also legalized same-sex marriage and are trying to legitimize the homosexual life style which is an abomination to You. As a nation, we have not lived within our means and am saddled with record national debts. We have removed prayers from public schools and have sought to remove the Ten Commandments and every other vestige of our spiritual heritage from the public square.

Lord, as we seek your mercy, please give us a leader we NEED and not a leader we deserved. Please give us a leader who will honor our Constitution and protect each and every American. Give us a leader who will protect life, especially the most vulnerable and weakest ones among us. Pray that You will give us a leader who is both strong and resolute in leading our country to face the challenges of the 21st century.

We pray Father God that just as you reserved for yourself 5000 prophets who have not bowed to Baal, you will also release the 5000 journalists who have not bowed to the altar of Obama so that they can fearlessly report the truth about Obama to the American people. We also pray that you will give all the pastors in the land the boldness to preach to their congregation this final weekend before the elections about their duty to elect a leader whose philosophy matches their Christian world view. We pray that God you will impress upon all your people to vote.

We know Lord that this nation is ripe for judgement but we beseech you Lord to have mercy on us, and relent your hand of judgement on this great nation that you have nurtured over the last 232 years. No matter what happens on Nov 4, we pray that God you will keep our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus and to continue to trust that you are in control. While this nation is ripe for judgement, she is also ready for a great spiritual revival. We eagerly await the next outpouring of your Spirit on this great land.

In Jesus’ Name. Amen!

An excerpt from the writer:

*…..Republicans are justifiably foaming at the mouth over the sheer one-sidedness of the press coverage of the two candidates and their running mates. But in the last few days, even Democrats, who have been gloating over the pass — no, make that shameless support — they’ve gotten from the press, are starting to get uncomfortable as they realize that no one wins in the long run when we don’t have a free and fair press. *

This is long but well worth the time.

I can understand why the Left wanted the Fairness Doctrine reinstated but I just can’t figured out why 40% of McCain supporters would want the Fairness Doctrine too. Could it be that in their mind the Fairness Doctrine will require MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, NY Times, Wash Post, LA Times and the rest of the MSM to provide a platform for the counter arguement? If so that is mighty naive.

It dawns on me that it has been proven beyond any doubt that the main stream media is totally biased towards Obama. I know many of us have said not to trust the polls yet we tend to look at the numbers. Wouldn’t it make sense that if the msm is so biased, polls would be just as biased? So instead of just hoping that the numbers are wrong we do in fact have a basis to believe that the polls have been manilulated to depress McCain voters. Just a thought!

1. Lack of Judgement demonstrated by his long association with people who hate AmeriKKKa like Jeremiah Wright (Pastor who screamed “God Damn AmeriKKKa” right after 9/11- http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Story?id=4443788, William Ayers (unrepentant domestic terrorist who bombed Government Buildings in the 70′s and who said after 9/11 that he regretted that he had not done more-http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/08/26/newly-released-documents-highlight-obamas-relationship-with-ayers/, and Rezko (convicted felon who bankrolled his first political campaignhttp://www.gop.com/ObamaRezkoShadyDeal/ amongst others.

2. Culpability in the sub-prime mortgage fiasco through his involvement with ACORN (Association of Community Organizers Reform Now) as its lead counsel. ACORN sued banks to increased lending to people in red-lined districts who could not afford such loans. ACORN storm-troopers stormed the office of WGN radio to prevent an interview with Stanley Kurtz regarding Obama and ACORN. Here is Stanley Kurtz- http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NDZiMjkwMDczZWI5ODdjOWYxZTIzZGIyNzEyMjE0ODIObama’s campaign had given ACORN more than $800,000 to help register voters. ACORN is currently under investigation for voter registration fraud in 11 states.

1. Pro-Abortion.
   According to Michael Gershon of the Washington Post, Obama’s record on abortion is extreme. He opposed the ban on partial-birth abortion — a practice a fellow Democrat, the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan, once called “too close to infanticide.” Obama strongly criticized the Supreme Court decision upholding the partial-birth ban. In the Illinois state Senate, he opposed a bill similar to the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, which prevents the killing of infants mistakenly left alive by abortion. And now Obama has oddly claimed that he would not want his daughters to be “punished with a baby” because of a crisis pregnancy — hardly a welcoming attitude toward new life
   [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/01/AR2008040102197.html]
   At the Saddleback Forum, when asked by Pastor Rick Warren at what point does a baby starts having rights, Obama said that question was beyond his pay grade. He also said that as President one of his first task is to sign a Freedom of Choice Act.

I have an idea. Let’s create a T-Shirt with a picture of Joe and the words “I am Joe the plumber” in front and “do not redistribute” at the back. We need to do this quick and saturate the entire USA with this T-shirt. Let’s get permission from Joe to use his picture on the T-shirt. I suggest that Joe gets a dollar for each T-shirt. I think this can potentially make us some big bucks and has the potential to put Obama’s socialist agenda on the front burner. Let’s hit it while the iron is hot. Any ideas how to contact Joe the plumber. I can take care of Southern California area. I already have the commercial T-shirt printer lined up. You guys can take care of your local market.
