Gingrich: This Will Not Stand
Monday, March 22, 2010 at 10:50AM Very good piece by Newt Gingrich that was posted to Human Events earlier today:
Former House Speaker Newt GingrichThis will not stand.
No one should be confused about the outcome of Sunday's vote. This is not the end of the fight, it is the beginning of the fight.
The American people spoke decisively against a big government, high tax, Washington knows best, pro trial lawyer centralized bureaucratic health system.
In every recent poll the vast majority of Americans opposed this monstrosity. Speaker Pelosi knew the country was against the bill. That is why she kept her members trapped in Washington and forced a vote on Sunday. She knew if she let the members go home their constituents would convince them to vote no.
The Obama-Pelosi-Reid machine combined the radicalism of Alinsky, the corruption of Springfield and the machine power politics of Chicago. Sunday was a pressured, bought, intimidated vote worthy of Hugo Chavez but unworthy of the United States of America.
It is hard to imagine how much pressure they brought to bear on congressman Stupak to get him to accept a cynical, phony clearly illegal and unconstitutional executive order on abortion. The ruthlessness and inhumanity of the Obama-Pelosi-Reid machine was most clearly on display in their public humiliation of Stupak.
The real principles of the machine were articulated by Democratic Congressman Alcee Hastings who was impeached and removed from the bench as a federal judge, before being elected to the House when he said "There ain't no rules here, we're trying to accomplish something. . . .All this talk about rules. . . .When the deal goes down . . . we make 'em up as we go along."
It is hard for the American people to believe their leaders on the left are this bad.
They are.
The American people will not allow a corrupt machine to dictate their future. Together we will pledge to repeal this bill and start over. Together we will prove that this will not stand.
2010 and 2012 will be among the most important elections in American history. These elections will allow us to save America from a leftwing machine of unparalleled corruption arrogance and cynicism. Sunday was one more step in the fight against a "Washington knows best" and "Washington should run everything" attitude.
Let us turn now to the Senate to continue this fight for real reform, for real self government, and for policies that create jobs, improve health outcomes, and increase freedom.

Sounds like Newt is sharpening the knives for a presidential run.
Last night as these obnoxious fools passed this bill i felt like someone had just sucked
the breath out of my body, in a sense of being in a daze and losing control of myself...
We all know where this idiot we call the President will carry this to,nationalized healthcare
and a singel payer system for all.. The loss of many jobs and futhering his cause in
socializing America....It well be hell Mr. President when you win the war and lose the
battle..This you can't do, make us like you or support you, your cause is not ours anymore
and you and the Demoncrats will see this november how much we hate this obnoxious bill
you forced on us.. So do your gloating along with your fellow clowns now, our time will
come and it may be sooner then what you think.....Conservative Americans won't follow
you, today, tomorrow or never.. Post that on your blackberry for 2012....
Go get 'em Dawg!
Remember, we but are a few of Americans that follow this closely. We must ensure that the GOP has the right candidates, and the right message that the majority can iden tify with and understand.
I do agree Bruce. Newt is on and off the reservation, so I'd be concerned about him being the nominee, but when he is on, he can really crystalize a position.
