The former speaker was quoted as saying "But former Republican House speaker Newt Gingrich said Obama and the Democrats will regret their decision to push for comprehensive reform. Calling the bill "the most radical social experiment . . . in modern times," Gingrich said: "They will have destroyed their party much as Lyndon Johnson shattered the Democratic Party for 40 years" with the enactment of civil rights legislation in the 1960s.""



WTF Newt?

He's vying for teaparty leader
they are living in the 80's still
Obama will string together a nice run of asskickings on them prior to being reelected.

perhaps you are overlooking the fact that the Democratic party in the 60s OPPOSED the civil rights legislation

The reality of who did what for the civil rights movement does not matter in this discussion. Apparently Newt missed the same thing.

When you say: "They will have destroyed their party much as Lyndon Johnson shattered the Democratic Party for 40 years" with the enactment of civil rights legislation in the 1960s.", you are not doing the republican party any favors.

Is your reading comprehension that bad or are you just that desperate to redeem yourself?

I did not say anything about who did or did not push through the civil rights legislation.

The point of this thread is that Newt Gingrich said "They will have destroyed their party much as Lyndon Johnson shattered the Democratic Party for 40 years" with the enactment of civil rights legislation in the 1960s.".

Your boy Newt said LBJ enacted the civil rights legislation. But what is even worse, he makes it sound as though the civil rights legislation was bad for the nation. Because Newt certainly isn't a fan of Obama's healthcare bill.

Newt has been saying this for quite some time fella. Of course when he said it before his statement began with "If this health care reform bill is approved".

This is only "news" to those who want to make a hysterical deal out of it. He's maintained the same posture on this fairly consistently.
 
Newt was shamed out for teabag behavior I'm glad his back to rule the teabaggers. Obama in a landslide in 2012

I guess I must have missed the news stories about Newt comparing this legislation to the civil rights legislation.

Silly me. I thought one was a huge step backward for our nation and the other a huge step forward.

I didn't think a high ranking republican would think both were bad.

It's alright Solitary. When Newt has an opening for Press Secretary, submit your resume. Until then, I would suggest you stick with armchair quarterbacking and prognosticating what you think it all means.

You do it so well <<sarcasm throttle at full force>>

Healthcare industry hit, next is oil (ie: climate bill) - that's you chuckles. Much as you want to spank Repubs over Iraq, you have to see that your support for Dems is going to hurt you more than anyone else on this board.

Whenever I see posts like this from you, it always reminds me of a certain quote:
"The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them" - Lenin

Next is (translated to "NewSpeak" for y'all), "Comprehensive Immigration Reform"...
 
One of the few great things done by LBJ was his support of the Civil Rights Movement!

Woo you made a short term gain, well then my argument just is stupid isn't it?

You don't think gas prices will go up? Please read this:

"The three co-authors of the Senate climate bill hope the proposal — backed by several large oil companies — will bring a new set of players to the negotiating table.
They are floating the idea of levying a carbon tax on each gallon of gasoline, which would be passed along to consumers at the pump. The fee would be linked to the market price of carbon emissions bought and traded by utilities and other industries.

“A linked fee to me makes sense,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who’s working with Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) to craft a climate bill.

Graham stressed that he wasn’t sure “how far the idea would go” but that it is already picking up support from oil-state members.

I am pissed that a Repub has decided to involve himself in crafting this shit rather than have nothing to do with it, but let's face it, it's not their idea, the Liberal Dems are the ones that WANT to pass a climate bill - THEY are the root of the problem.

retard, I said gas prices will go up we will pass on the cap and scheme tax to the driver.

Ok and if gas prices are forced up, am I going to buy less gas or more? Is your stock going to go up when people buy less of your product?

You only see the explicit and miss the implicit.
 
Now Republicans claim its BAD for Corporations to make profit?

Im confused....

He may...I repeat "may' have a point. Does anyone but the biggest bigotted racist disagree that the Civil Rights legislation and the New Society legislation were some of the greatest ever. They gave all Americans a gaurentee of their civil rights as an American and the New Society legislation did more to bring more people out of poverity and into the middle class then any legislation before or since.

Their may be some political consequences in the short term but those who supported the Civil Rights legislations of the 60's were on the right side of history and those who've supported UHC reform are on the right side of history now.
