OMG! Has Newt Gingrich lost his mind?
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?

perhaps you are overlooking the fact that the Democratic party in the 60s OPPOSED the civil rights legislationOriginally Posted by WinterBorn
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.

What a devastating blow to Solitary's argument. Nice job.
Is your reading comprehension that bad or are you just that desperate to redeem yourself?What a devastating blow to Solitary's argument. Nice job.
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.

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:

Nice to see you addressing the issue I raised. <<sarcasm throttle at full force too>>

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

One of the few great things done by LBJ was his support of the Civil Rights Movement!
