Gingrich, Like Nixon, Hates Dirty Hippies: Yet Loves His Own ‘Free Love’ Lifestyle

If there is one thing that most social conservative Americans dislike in a candidate for president it's a sex addict.

Fred Barnes writes in this week's issue of The Weekly Standard in "The History of Newt: Are Republicans ready to look past his transgressions?":

"... Gingrich has 'told friends he's like Richard Nixon, not particularly likable and hated by the press and the left.' And here we see Gingrich taking a page from Nixon's playbook. If there was one thing Americans disliked more than the not particularly likable Nixon, it was dirty hippies."

A specific scripture verse on the moral qualifications for a early Christian deacon applies well to the office of President for the character qualifications demanded by values voters:

"[An] Elder ought to be one in whom no fault is found and is the husband of one woman, is of a vigilant mind, sober, orderly, loves strangers and is a teacher."
-- I Timothy 3:12, Aramaic Bible in Plain English

Newt must believe that if one has a new haircut, a clean odorless body, and a filthy mind, that because that person is not "dirty" then there should be an elevated acceptance of that individual on the basis that, as in the Fundamentalist apocryphal "Cleanlyness is next to godliness." The many dirty deeds of Wall Street are not expressed in their choice of personal toiletry or dress, evil is a deep dirt condition that passes the surface 'smell test' that Gingrich so snarkedly presents.

What about Newt, himself, with a stylish haircut, crisp suits, he smells good, and possesses a long history of sexual over indulgence, if not addictions to fornication and adultery, he can claim he is cleaner than those he seeks to discount who are the OWS patriots. The Newtonian dirty deeds-in pursuit of the support and acceptance of himself by the 1% - are hard to continence, even if Newt runs up his tab at Tiffney's-in an ostentatious manner.

Want to see into the twisted morals and mind of Gingrich? Read his co-authored novel, the book entitled "1945" , a 1995 alternate history novel.

"Ultimately, it's the Gingrichian way with facts, figures, and ideas that most endears him to these (rad right) voters," ogles Barnes admiringly.

If there is one thing that most Americans dislike in a candidate for president, a sex addict. Newt is a serial adulterer. He has a long early history of easy sex and lax, if not existent restrain on his libido.

But the crushing blow to Newtonian claims to be a true conservative comes in crushing form from George Will, ABC's This Week, Sunday.

Conservative scribe George Will ridiculed Newt Gingrich as a 'rental politician' on ABC's 'This Week' yesterday (11/20/11), scoffing at the idea that the Republican Party's self-described 'big ideas' candidate is employable as a historian:

"Gingrich's is an amazingly efficient candidacy, in that it embodies almost everything disagreeable about modern Washington. He's the classic rental politician. People think his problem is his colorful personal life. He's gonna hope people concentrate on that, rather than on, for example, ethanol. Al Gore has recanted ethanol. Not Newt Gingrich, who has served the ethanol lobby. Industrial policy of the sort that got us Solyndra " he's all for it. Freddie Mac, he says, hired him as a "historian." He's not a historian. Hire Sean Wilentz, hire Gordon Wood if you want a historian." 

So said Mr. Will.

"Will's undisguised scorn is a good illustration of why Gingrich, even as he makes a bid for the affections of rank-and-file anti-Romney voters, is unlikely to win over much of anti-Romney conservative upper crust. As much as there's still a demand for an impressive, thoughtful conservative in the race who can lead the party to Romney's right, most of the political elites who know Gingrich best were convinced a long time ago that he isn't that guy."

So says Alexander Burns in Politico on Nov 21, 2011.
