Suffering from Newt Derangement Syndrome? By Bill Miller  It is amazing that many establishment supporters don’t know that they are "Establishment Supporters." It is an amazing phenomenon to the rest of us. If you are suffering from Newt Derangement Syndrome, you are most assuredly an "establishment type"; sorry to shatter your illusions or are they delusions. Look at poor Ann Coulter; she appears to be as irrational as Nancy Pelosi or Debbie Wassermann Schultz. She is name calling the majority of voters in South Carolina in Bill Maher style; she has her panties in a tighter wad then Chris Christie does.  Guess what America?  Coulter is suffering from an elitist disease, because she knows what is better for you than you do. This disease is called Newt Derangement Syndrome. Recently Ann Coulter wrote a book on the mob mentality of the left. Now like some modern day Robespierre, she wants to lead the Committee of Public Safety and send her conservative brethren off to the National Razor. How dare we question the beltway wisdom! What impudence we must have! Can she actually mean what she say’s when she says, "Mitt Romney is the most conservative candidate left of the four running." This Romney guy has not only neglected to reach out to the conservative base; he has avoided Tea Party groups like they have the Bubonic plague.  I know of some groups that actually support him and he never has time to visit these groups or in some cases to even reply to their requests. He has never ever reached out to any conservatives. This Coulter woman is becoming completely unhinged, she may need medication. She is willing to sell out God for the Progressive Establishment in The Republican Party. Coulter where is your faith in the individual? The hard working God fearing individuals you’ve always said you were an advocate for? Have you lost the ability to have a leap of faith? Ann Coulter isn’t the only one.  Karl Rove, Bret Hume, Chris Christie, I believe Romney himself, has a mild case of it. Numerous "insiders" are suffering from the same disease. Coulter thinks this Chris Christie guy is conservative. Chris Christie! Nothing can be further from the truth. He is a Progressive Republican, he certainly isn’t a conservative. Guess what Ann, no matter how many times you say it, he will still be a Progressive Republican, just like Romney will be a Moderate, like it or not, you will never convince anyone otherwise. Ironically, one of the best lines from Governor Huntsman, while he was still in the race, was when he heard that McCain was supporting Romney "Surprise, another establishment type." Then Huntsman proved that what he was too (an establishment type) by dropping out of the race and endorsing Romney immediately. Sarah Palin, on hearing Chris Christie’s attack on Gingrich as an "Embarrassment to the Party", Called his tirade an amateurish mistake made by the inexperienced, when their candidate suffered a setback and suggested he "un-Wad his panties" and get back to serious work. The same could be said of Coulter, "get your big girl panties on, deary." It is clear to all that Santorum is the most conservative of the three; he has his blemishes also, Prescription Drug, voting against the Right to Work etc. . . but, he is undoubtedly conservative, double Romney. Santorum is slightly more conservative then Gingrich but he isn’t as capable of articulating it and particularly articulating it with passion. We can agree to disagree.  I do with many of my Tea Party friends on specific issues sometimes more often on tactics or strategy and even on candidates. What Coulter is displaying is leftist arrogance and vehemence. Sarah Palin said, "We are independent minded people and are tired of our candidates being picked through the filter of the media." We are also not about to let those same party insiders, who have betrayed conservative principles again, pick a candidate beholden to them. Gingrich wants to be partners with us. He has said it time and again, that is what the Tea Party wants to hear. I believe any one of the four candidates would be an improvement over Barack Obama. I also believe any one of them would beat Obama. However, as for me, I personally would choose Romney last because he is supported by the establishment. Rush Limbaugh is correct.  You establishment types have been contaminated by the liberal sickness; you have no faith. If one believes in Natural Law, the idea that we each have a personal eternal relationship with Providence, then one must trust the individual. Are all the conservatives, evangelicals, Tea Party adherents in South Carolina wrong?  Are they in Florida too? Limbaugh was point on when he said that Gingrich was showing the best ability to articulate conservatism. Meanwhile, on the Sean Hannity Show last night, when Senator Fred Thompson endorsed Gingrich, tonight he again used the word, articulate. Gingrich can deliver conservatism in these desperate times. Thompson, who besides being a former United States Senator ran in the 2008 Presidential election, began with news that the country is in far worse shape than is generally known. "I think we’re in deep trouble. I think were in more trouble than most people do. Even these numbers that come out of Washington and look so bleak are understated. They are based on faulty projections of growth and that the nature. . . we have historically low interest rates when those rates start to come up and we are the largest debtor in the world we are going to be in additional fix that we can’t bail ourselves out of. . . I think we are at a tipping point in this country I think there will be more people in the wagon soon then those pulling the wagon." Others have reached this same conclusion and they are willing to fight to retain the nation they were born into. "People are organizing in hamlets and towns and some of them call themselves Tea Parties."　 Who can this organization of individual citizens turn towards, who can harness their energy toward restoring the balance to the republic? “I Have come to a growing realization for me that Newt Gingrich is the guy who can articulate what America is all about. . . about American Exceptionalism who (Gingrich) can make the case not just with talking points or taking it off a Teleprompter can make case. . . the basic case for lower taxes being better for everybody and how to bring about growth. He’s not afraid and he’s tough and experienced I don’t think it’s enough anymore or to our advantage to say I know nothing about the operation of the Federal Government. . . I know something about it. . . Newt knows something about it . . it is a colossal mess." After extrapolating on what difficulties the new president will have, Thompson reminded us about how he got to Washington and whose ideas were motivating that revolution against the status quo. ". . . He has conceived a revolution in American politics." Reminding those conservatives who haven’t committed to join Newt Gingrich, Thompson closed with this warning and rejoinder, "We have to stand up to the establishment on both sides of the aisle, to the news media and carry this thing through. These are different times in America; the old rules no longer apply." If we wish to be successful, Thompson believes we should go against the establishment by joining forces with someone cast out of the establishment. Romney himself showed his first real passion during the debate in Florida tonight and it seemed a bit strained also, (I wouldn’t say it was deranged in Romney’s case, but definitely strained) much like the liberals when they "feel" their entitlements slipping away. Romney , Coulter and Christie believe that Romney is entitled to be the Republican nominee and are behaving like their liberal establishment counterparts when they are being deprived. On the other hand Gingrich conducted himself like a frontrunner and was well poised, he even got a grudging endorsement from Ron Paul who was asked if he would support Gingrich as the nominee, ". . . well he’s talking about the Federal Reserve and sound money. . . if I can get him over on foreign policy. . ." Palins, Todd and Sarah (at least in South Carolina), Michelle Bachmann and Rick Perry, JC Watts for Gingrich, Art Laffler and now Fred Thomson. While for Romney, it’s John McCain, Chris Christie, the governors, congressman, senators, all who get cash from the Republican Party, every Republican machine head and pundit. One last thing Ann, and all you Newt Derangement sufferers, if you eliminate Gingrich, I will support Santorum or Paul.  I will only vote for Romney if it is between him and Obama. I will have to hold my nose again. Mitt Romney reminds me of the first time I had to hold my nose and vote; that was for Bush 41. Before that, the only time I voted for President, that was twice for I got to vote for Ronald Reagan, I did so with my head held high. Since then I have been ashamed of the Republican Party. I want to vote for a conservative again. As for the establishment, I believe Newt derangement syndrome is just starting to affect them. If Gingrich does become the Republican nominee for president, I would expect the Newt derangement syndrome to pass from the entitlement mentality of the Republican machine types, to their ideological cousins, the Democratic machine types. The syndrome is not catching for everyone.  Those who believe in the Individual, those who believe in God, those that emulate our Founders are naturally immune from the sickness.  Any insider though is susceptible to catching it.
