Guest column: Will 2010 become the year of the Tea Party?


Des Moines Register | Newt Gingrich
January 1, 2010


As we enter the New Year, one of the most interesting questions is whether the Tea Party movement was a temporary outburst of anger or the beginning of a fundamental reform movement that may change America.

Recent polls indicating that a "Tea Party Party" would be more popular than the Republican Party are a signal of the depth of potential support for a truly radical movement of government reform.

Many Americans feel threatened by the radicalism of the Obama-Pelosi-Reid machine. There is a much deeper anger in America than the media elites or the Democrats in Congress and the White House understand.

Furthermore, the constant effort to belittle the citizens who are moving decisively against the left-wing establishment (including those parts of the Republican Party that are seen as associated with that establishment of the left) is only increasing this anger.

The fact is that gathering together to petition Congress and to protest bad policies is a right that goes back to the very beginning of the country. Having sent a number of petitions to the British government in London and gotten more troops and more repression in response, the colonists finally felt themselves compelled to rebel. It took years of British arrogance, repression and mismanagement to sufficiently infuriate the British colonists into breaking away to become American citizens.

The Republicans forgot their reform background (going back to both Reagan and the 1994 Contract with America) and were punished in 2006 and 2008.

However, the secular-socialist left that now dominates the Democratic Party completely misread the meaning of the 2006 and 2008 elections.

The American people were repudiating Republicans for abandoning their small government, reform roots. They were not voting for higher taxes and bigger government.

The best proof of this underlying desire for smaller government was the defeat of the May 2009 California referendum that would have raised taxes. As Assemblyman Chuck DeVore noted, the entire California establishment was for the referendum. They outspent the smaller government forces by more than 20 to 1.

When 64 percent of Californians voted no (including every single congressional district, even Speaker Nancy Pelosi's), it was a huge signal for smaller government and lower taxes. This, after all, was a state that had voted 61 percent for Obama for president.

On Election Day 2009 voters gave an additional signal of unhappiness with big government. In Virginia, Republican Bob McDonnell, the candidate of smaller government and lower taxes, won with 59 percent (this was a state President Obama had carried with 53 percent only a year earlier). In New Jersey, a solidly Democratic state, Republican Chris Christie, the candidate of reform, lower taxes and charter school reforms, won with four times the margin Christie Whitman had won with in 1993, and carried urban counties no Republican had carried in a generation.

Yet, as the polls and election results grew worse for big government, higher taxes and cuts in Medicare health plans, the Democratic leadership grew more indifferent, more arrogant and more corrupt.

The Reid policy of bribing senators with special favors, voting at 1 in the morning and ramming through a deeply unpopular bill that no one had read, virtually guarantees a growing sense of disenchantment, alienation and rebellion among millions of enraged Americans.

The upcoming secret negotiations over health care with the White House, Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Reid, increasing taxes, cutting benefits and creating new bureaucracies (literally rewriting life and death for Americans) will further grow this sense of outrage.

As the understanding of how big the tax increases will be and the continued spectacle of a tax cheat as secretary of the Treasury (and therefore the head of the IRS) continues to be driven home, the sense of outrage will continue grow.

The year 2010 will almost certainly be the year of the Tea Party thanks to the machines that run our state and federal capitals and the arrogance with which they seek to change our lives and control our futures.

In fact, every American who is not corrupted by the secular-socialist left should be a member of the Tea Party movement.

Newt Gingrich is often viewed as a conservative politician. This video is a speech John McManus, president of the John Birch society, gave which exposes the REAL Newt Gingrich by examining his track record and showing his true motivations.

Many Conservatives are actually angry with him over Ny-23, he endorsed the Republican who later dropped to endorse the Democrat.

When I eventually go to a Tea Party, I'm not going to fit the Republican mold. Probably something about Legalizing Marijuana. I don't want people thinking they're a Republican thing.
