Want More Gridlock? Vote for Gingrich: He All But Invented It
Who's to blame for the Republicans’ failed strategy of holding up the payroll tax cut extension? It's tempting to point a finger at John Boehner, the current House Speaker. But upon closer inspection, Boehner's just following a playbook written by one of his predecessors - a former lawmaker who just happens to be running for president this election cycle. That's right, it's old Mr. Contract On America himself: Newt Gingrich.
Gingrich is the man who, perhaps more than anyone else, created the political climate that exists today. He wanted to change America, and he did - for the worse. His Contract On America attracted a whole slew of political hit men whose goal it is to assassinate the American dream. It's on life support right now. And if Gingrich manages to make it to the White House, there's little doubt in my mind he'll try to pull the plug.
