Health and (or rather of) the Gingrich Campaign
All You Need to Know about Newt
The Gingrich health center’s support for such a mandate was part of an “Insure All Americans” plan that appears to have disappeared from the center’s Web site Thursday.
See that there is nothing here

But it is still here
Key quote
Require that anyone who earns more than $50,000 a year must purchase health insurance or post a bond.
I know that Gingrich is a psychopath, but he likes to pretend that he is smart and techno savvy. It seems that no one who knows about the wayback machine is willing to work for him.
Nothing could be more pointless than a screen shot of a waybackmachine page, so here it is.
Mrs. R calls him “Tiffany Newt.”
Which btw is what is required for auto insurance in most states, you can either post some bond with the secretary of state or get insurance. Of course the question is what size would the bond be?
I don’t see the flip flop on the mandate issue as the import of the Gingrich/HCT disclosure. Note the connection from the HCT web site: “The Center for Health Transformation and The Gingrich Group are corporate for-profit organizations not affiliated with any other corporation or organization”
I should think that Gingrich have earned multiple millions of dollars as a quasi-lobbying and/or publicist for health industry heavy weights should get the bulk of media attention. Then there’s his representation of his work for Freddie Mac to the tune (toon?) of $1.6M. Newt is working full time to propagandize issues of national importance. Call it lobbying of call it pubilcist, the result is little different. He shills for big business in the halls of Congress.
He is good when he speaks his mind without thinking and the honesty comes through. The rest of the time he is just a hack.
Lord no. He is always a hack who simply adjusts to the direction of ideological currents. He is worse than a hack because he is personally profiting from playing the role of an ideological hack and a propagandist on the issues.
Lord, how would you even know when he’s spoken his mind? Whatever statement of his you could bring up, I imagine I could find a statement of his that is just the opposite. What he wants is power and wealth (and a younger wife every few years). He’s pretty much the worst of the worst, IMHO.
