NRO: For a ‘Bold Reagan Conservative,’ Gingrich Said Mean Things About Him

Top Reagan Administration Aide Says Gingrich Support of Reagan is Misleading

Few argue against Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich’s skills as a communicator. Throughout his campaign resurgence, the former Speaker has dubbed himself a “bold,“ ”Georgia Reagan conservative” and his opponent Mitt Romney a “timid Massachusetts moderate.”

Not only can the phrase be criticized for inciting divineness within the party and longstanding regional tensions within the country, some now say Gingrich was not even loyal to President Reagan when he was in office.

Elliot Abrams, former assistant secretary of state for the Reagan administration and deputy national security adviser for the George W. Bush administration, published a blistering article in the National Review Online (NRO) Wednesday saying that while Presidents should not get automatic support from members of their own party, when Reagan and Bush faced partisan criticism while making difficult and ultimately correct decisions on national security, Gingrich was no where to be found with loyal support and rather “often spewed insulting rhetoric” back at the Republican administrations.

Abrams writes that when the Reagan administration was facing vicious criticism from then Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill and leading Democrats as they fought to repel Soviet expansionism in the Third World, there were a number of Republicans they turned to on Capitol Hill for loyal support.

Gingrich was not one of them.

Abrams writes on Gingrich’s support of President Reagan:

“He voted with the caucus, but his words should be remembered, for at the height of the bitter struggle with the Democratic leadership Gingrich chose to attack . . . Reagan.

The best examples come from a famous floor statement Gingrich made on March 21, 1986. This was right in the middle of the fight over funding for the Nicaraguan contras; the money had been cut off by Congress in 1985, though Reagan got $100 million for this cause in 1986. Here is Gingrich: ‘Measured against the scale and momentum of the Soviet empire’s challenge, the Reagan Administration has failed, is failing, and without a dramatic change in strategy will continue to fail. . . . President Reagan is clearly failing.’ Why? This was due partly to ‘his administration’s weak policies, which are inadequate and will ultimately fail’; partly to CIA, State, and Defense, which ‘have no strategies to defeat the empire.’ But of course ‘the burden of this failure frankly must be placed first on President Reagan.’ Our efforts against the Communists in the Third World were “pathetically incompetent,” so those anti-Communist members of Congress who questioned the $100 million Reagan sought for the Nicaraguan “contra” rebels “are fundamentally right.” Such was Gingrich’s faith in President Reagan that in 1985, he called Reagan’s meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev “the most dangerous summit for the West since Adolf Hitler met with Neville Chamberlain in 1938 in Munich.” [Emphasis added]

Questions have been posed in the past about the validity of the “Reagan conservative” label which Gingrich often gives himself.

Glenn Beck has raised alarm to Gingrich’s belief that FDR was his favorite President of the 20th century over Reagan, and the “timid Massachusetts moderate” himself has called out how close Gingrich really was to the 41st President.

During last week’s CNN debate Romney interjected into a back and forth with Gingrich and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, when the former Speaker began to praise his own work with President Reagan.

“Mr. Speaker, it was — you talk about all the things you did with Ronald Reagan and the Reagan revolution and the jobs created during the Reagan years and so forth,” said Romney. “I mean, I looked at the Reagan diary. You’re mentioned once in Ronald Reagan’s diary. And in the diary, he says you had an idea in a meeting of young congressmen, and it wasn’t a very good idea and he dismissed it. That’s the entire mention.”

The super PAC that is supporting Mitt Romney, Restore Our Future, has began running ads in Florida reflecting the same criticism of Gingrich’s connection to Reagan:

Abrams alleges that Gingrich was not only not close to President Reagan, he was a thorn in his side and has since been proven wrong in all his quarrels against the Reagan administration:

“Gingrich scorned Reagan’s speeches, which moved a party and then a nation, because ‘the president of the United States cannot discipline himself to use the correct language.’ In Afghanistan, Reagan’s policy was marked by ‘impotence [and] incompetence.‘ Thus Gingrich concluded as he surveyed five years of Reagan in power that ’we have been losing the struggle with the Soviet empire.’ Reagan did not know what he was doing, and ‘it is precisely at the vision and strategy levels that the Soviet empire today is superior to the free world.’

There are two things to be said about these remarks. The first is that as a visionary, Gingrich does not have a very impressive record. The Soviet Union was beginning to collapse, just as Reagan had believed it must. The expansion of its empire had been thwarted. The policies Gingrich thought so weak and indeed ‘pathetic’ worked, and Ronald Reagan turned out to be a far better student of history and politics than Gingrich.

The second point to make is that Gingrich made these assaults on the Reagan administration just as Democratic attacks were heating up unmercifully. Far from becoming a reliable voice for Reagan policy and the struggle against the Soviets, Gingrich took on Reagan and his administration. It appears to be a habit: He did the same to George W. Bush when Bush was making the toughest and most controversial decision of his presidency — the surge in Iraq. ”

Michael Reagan may believe that Gingrich exemplifies as a “Reagan conservative,” but the candidate has done little to elaborate on this self-identification aside from applying the label on himself over and over again. On two Sunday news programs this past week Gingrich again compared himself to Reagan, adding a little flair on NBC’s Meet the Press when calling himself now a “Reagan populist conservative.”

“Ronald Reagan did very well for a long time, and people understood that he was never in Washington, even when he was president,” the former Speaker of the House said when asked on CNN’s State of the Union whether he would qualify as a Washington elite . “I ran for Congress to change things in Washington. I worked with President Reagan to change things in Washington. As Speaker of the House, we did change things.”

Based on Abrams’ comments Wednesday, it may be more than fair to question that cooperation with the former President. At the very least, when it came to foreign policy.

If we can get 0bama’s plan (which is over halfway completed) stopped, at least we’ll have a chance to try to fix things in 2016. If 0bama gets a chance to finish what he has started, we WILL NOT get that chance.

      They have had person after person trotted out to espouse the great new conservative America, people like Palin teasing them that she will stand up and run for them, people like Beck saying this is Americas last chance to save the planet.

He had recommended to Bush that the US go in, take out Saddam then immediately hire the Iraqi military to stabilize the country and get the heck out. He doesn’t believe you can nation build in the middle east. You need to contain them and use covert methods to bring them out of the 14th century.

      And just how is Obama, who has failed to create a single job (in fact he has lost 2 million of them), who can rightly be accused of never even actually possessing a professional career other than politics and community organizing, who has increased the debt by nearly double (it will take until 2014, but we are well on our way with his present course) in a nation that is sick and tired of the status quo that is not working, going to defeat a man like Romney. Romney will mop the floor with Obama because Obama has already done the job. The only thing Newt has to offer is a razor sharp tongue. I don’t need to have Obama insulted intelligently, I need him dismissed as irrelevant and as a failure. The campaign will eat Gingrich alive, because there is video and audio of Newt destroying Newt in abundance. Obama will only have to hit the play button and he will be back in office. Obama doesn’t fear Newt (a couple of debates is all he will have to survive). He is a do-nothing President and the one he fears is the accomplished former conservative Governor from the most liberal state in America.

    Who knows Ronald Reagan and Newt’s relationship best? Beck, Pelosi or the Gippers son Michael?

    Michael Reagan, the son of the late president and a Newsmax contributor, today endorsed former House Speaker Newt Gingrich for president.

    In endorsing Gingrich, Reagan said he believes Gingrich is the only candidate who can “fundamentally change the course that Barack Obama has set for America.”

    Here is the rest of his endorsement:

    “Newt is our only chance in 2012 to contrast a Reagan conservative with Obama‘s European’ styled socialism.

    “Newt exemplifies the conservative principles my father championed.

    “Strong national defense, lower taxes and smaller government.

    “In the 90’s Newt’s leadership brought us the Contract with America which changed Washington.

    “I’m confident Newt can do it again.

    “We cannot afford a candidate backed by the same Washington insiders who repeatedly tried to undermine my father and the Reagan revolution.

    “It’s time to choose.

    “Do we go forward with bold ideas or continue with failed policies?

    “So I ask my fellow Republicans and conservatives to join me in supporting Newt Gingrich for president.”

      Gary, You obviously have not read Reagan’s diary as I have. Michael was for the most part estranged from his father during his administration. They had a contentious relationship due to some unfounded feelings that Michael eventually came to grips with and they reconciled. With that being said, Michael was in no position to be an expert on his fathers relationship with Gingrich.

      It’s amazing we lose sight of whether words mean things. Newt could very well be a changed man, but his past words and no indication of refuting them in a come to Jesus moment are anywhere to be found. Unfortunately he seems to be another politician who morphs the moment to get where he wants to go. We need to confront Newt on these comments and hold him to account or we are asking for more of the same in the presidency. Too much is at stake!

Also, after his conversion to being politically pro-life (he was also personally pro-life), he vetoed any attempt to expand the abortion laws in the state. However, he had promised the people of MA that he would not change any of the abortion laws as they currently existed. He followed through with that promise.

      Newt is a liar, deceiver, and a Washington insider. He will lose to Obama after all of his skeletons are exposed and people realize who he really is. An egotistical, self-serving, and hypocritical insider. He’s the definition of corrupt politics.

      @ Gary

      Romney was never for Gay Marriage. His legislature was able to override his veto. He was for human rights being given to every human regardless of their sexual orientation. Not the same as being pro gay marriage. Perhaps you suffer from the delusion that a Governor or even a President has the ability to create Law. They don’t! He was never for abortion, he just stated the obvious, he had not intention of changing a Woman’s right to choose in Massachusetts for in order to do so would result in nothing. It was mute point and he very intelligently put it to rest as such. He doesn‘t waste time on issues that he can’t influence. Newt would have you believe that having the most verbose and cunningly witty guy in the White House will somehow produce the most effective Government ever, as if he alone could enact every “Grandiose” scheme his little egocentric brain could produce regardless of the existence of Congress. Oh wait, we already have a such a moron in office now. You think it makes a difference what brand or party these maniacs come from? Neither should have the office. Obama must go and Newt should never be.

      If I have to vote for Newt the only hope I will have is that Congress will keep his ego at bay. He may well be better than Obama (at least he will be obligated to sound like a conservative for a while in his administration), but I want even better than that.

      @ Gary

      Hi again. Couple of questions and comments to add…Do you honestly think Gingrich had that much to do with the Republican sweep in the House and Senate in 1994? Clinton was a liberal on speed his first two years (just like Obama) and he freaked our country out. Republicans were placed in power as a check. Limbaugh had a lot to do with that “Revolution” even more so than Gingrich. Who was Gingrich at that time anyway? Unless you were from Georgia you had no clue. Just like all of us when “teary-eyed” took over the Speakership in 2010. That was the Tea party and a scared straight electorate that put him in that position. Giving Gingrich credit for more than doing his job is a mistake. His own team mates turned on him. If he was so glaringly successful and right why did he not win any converts? I admit it feels good to have Gingrich insult Obama, and to be able to articulate the things we believe about conservatism with the vocal talent of Rush Limbaugh. But he has said way too much that is not right as well. His record is that of a double speaking slime wad and political opportunist. We have been entertained, but I don’t want his kind in the highest office in the land. He would be better off as a conservative Radio host, and so would we. (At least then we could tune him out.)

    One of my best friends, who is a solid conservative (like me) and Republican (unlike me), is reading Newt’s latest book. He just told me that Newt has fallen to LAST place on his list. He says that BECAUSE of NUT Gingrich’s own writings.

    Do NOT be deceived! NUT Gingrich is NO conservative. He‘s just CLAIMING to be in the hopes that people won’t check his record. HE is the one with a record to the LEFT of Reagan, and he is lying to conservatives hoping they won’t check his record. He is as much a deceitful LIAR as Obama. He has never answered any of the allegations about his character. He just becomes combative instead. He would be President Pugnacious.

    If by some terrible fate he was elected, he would throw conservatives under the bus just as quickly as he did his first two wives. He would make us roadkill! That’s his record! That’s his character!

      @ my new best friend,

      Romneycare was “Get insurance or pay your own bill.“ not ”Get insurance or else.” Romney’s biggest mistake was not realizing how convoluted his legislation would become at the hands of his liberal legislature. He learned the hard way not to underestimate the socialist intentions of every card carrying member of the Democrat party. He gave him the requisite inch and away they went. But at the outset his legislation was labeled “Conservative” by the Heritage Foundation. Romneycare is no longer Romneycare, so quit throwing that moldy pie in his face.

      Romney is not pro gay marriage, his state was, and overwhelmingly so. His veto powers were defeated. You can’t hold that against him without smoking a joint first. Gay marriage in Mass was in no way his doing. Leave it alone.

      The abortion issue is yet another mute point. As if his personal opinions would affect the issue in either direction. If you want to take issue for the way he handled a couple of debate questions and point to that as evidence that we need Newt, by all means attempt to do so. (Obama will be defeated on principle not debate tactics anyway, but I digress.)

He led the allies in a global war with remarkable skill and built the greatest military in history. Newt believes that without FDR’s leadership as Commander in Chief during World War II, the 20th century would have been a Nazi century rather than an American century. Ronald Reagan too praised FDR, saying that “like the Founding Fathers before him, F.D.R. was an American giant.”

    Michael Reagan, the son of the late president and a Newsmax contributor, today endorsed former House Speaker Newt Gingrich for president.

    In endorsing Gingrich, Reagan said he believes Gingrich is the only candidate who can “fundamentally change the course that Barack Obama has set for America.”

    Here is the rest of his endorsement:

    “Newt is our only chance in 2012 to contrast a Reagan conservative with Obama‘s European’ styled socialism.

    “Newt exemplifies the conservative principles my father championed.

    “Strong national defense, lower taxes and smaller government.

    “In the 90’s Newt’s leadership brought us the Contract with America which changed Washington.

    “I’m confident Newt can do it again.

    “We cannot afford a candidate backed by the same Washington insiders who repeatedly tried to undermine my father and the Reagan revolution.

    “It’s time to choose.

    “Do we go forward with bold ideas or continue with failed policies?

    “So I ask my fellow Republicans and conservatives to join me in supporting Newt Gingrich for president.”

    Does Beck and Nancy Pelosi know Ronald Reagan and Newt’s relationship better than His son Michael? I don’t think so. Just some obvious pro-Romney BS, quite frankly both are showing themselves to be turnips and Pelosi knows Gingrich can beat Obama. She is trying to keep him from get the nomination. Beck and Pelosi working for the same man, Romney! Nancy because she knows Romney can’t beat Obama tHo

      Pretty much agree…..I’m a staunch Tea Party Consv. & think there’s more to all the criticisms of Newt than meets the eye and “on the surface” sounds damning. Usually it’s more complex than that & I agree that who else would know his dad than his son? I‘ve listened to him a lot and know he wouldn’t endorse Newt unless he really thought this. I‘m sure Newt had his disagreements with Reagan but who’s to say he might have been right? People jump to conclusions too quickly.
      Re Romney, he’s obviously very moderate and tends to cave to political correctness, compromise as he did as Gov. and Christie is doing (he just nominated two Supreme Court judges – one a Muslim and one an openly gay). NE Repubs. are like that…don’t know if he has what it takes to get the enormous job done. With all of Newt’s “warts” I agree with Michael – he’d be the best at articulating in a “no fear” way and get things done.

    Ron Paul is also a real long shot. Better chances than Santorum IMO but certainly a very uphill battle at this point, and getting steeper all the time.

    So we’re down to Newt and Romney folks. Does Glenn really prefer Romney over Newt? Really?

    Honestly I don’t think Romney has been given a fair shake by a lot of people. I think he’d be a better president than some people are giving him credit for…. but better than Newt? I’m not convinced of that.

Not because of any great answers, but because of his confronting the media. Primary voters know that the media is biased, so they reward Newt for being combative to the media.

Critics suggest that Newt as the potential nominee, with an almost 60 percent unfavorable rating in national public opinion polls, about the same as when he was Speaker of the House fifteen years ago, and was on his way out as a result of a conservative Republican move against him in the House of Representatives, will lead to a massive defeat and bring down Republicans in both houses of Congress.

    Newt is as deceptive as Obama.. face it the truth.. He has lied about to many different things just as Obama does. I don’t want a liar in DC..

      DC will be a ghost town, except for Ron Paul

      That leaves Santorum or Paul.

      I agree, Abby! The way Newt is handling the Freddie contributions is disgusting. It speaks to his character and tells me he hasn’t changed one bit. Instead of just owning up to it saying that’s how the culture of politics was at that time, he is equivocating saying that Freddie hired him as a historian. What nonsense. Santorum was right…….Newt is grandiose.

      Gonzo – simple. Of the remaining two, which ****** off more people? Paul.

      I’d never vote for Santorum because odds are, you’ll get the same old same old. With Paul, even though he’s been in Congress for ages, I’m not so sure you can paint him as a career politician – or, he’s real good at being deceptive. I’d like to find out, though.

    I read this article earlier & what a hoot. Typical Newt & Romney should bring this up. I‘m so sick of hearing Reagan’s name by Newt as he no Reagan. First of all, he even lacks the character that Reagan had. If this guy is the nominee, he is going down in defeat with the tea party. How can we ever respect the tea party again when they have endorsed the worst sleaze ball of them all.
