Translating Newt Gingrich's CPAC comments into plain English

[Squigglenob]

Here's what Newt said:

"You're going to hear a false attack that we don't need new ideas," he continued. "Let me draw a distinction: we don't need new principles, but we need lots of new ideas about how to implement those principles in the 21st century."

Since I speak Republican, let me translate for you.

"The problem isn't our sexism, racism, and neo-feudalist economic principles. It's that we have to find a way of convincing minorities, women, the middle class and the working classes that racism, sexism and neo-feudalism are good for them."

"...we have to find a way of convincing minorities, women, the middle class and the working classes that racism, sexism and neo-feudalism are good for them."

Well, why not? This should be a rather easy goal to achieve. So far, the establishment have been able to convince the people corporate monopolies are good for them and workers' unions are bad.

6. Lindsey Graham

in a moment of mental slippage said they didn't have enough angry white males. Pox News and hate radio have been the primary source for creating angry white males. We are a culture that has promoted white, male dominance for years. They make angry white males by using their media to convince white males they are victims of a system that favors minorities at the expense of the underpaid Caucasian.
The reason working people are underpaid is because of a system that encourages pre-taxed money to be sent to off shore tax havens and thus taken out of circulation, and by extension weakening the economy and creating unemployment and pain. Pain causes people to react unreasonably.
Their goal is to create cheap sweatshop labor off shore to get the working class here to accept less just to survive, and thus become predatory. They want the poor and minorities to blame foreigners and then sell a line of crap where they convince the minorities and poor that only Republicans can save American jobs.
They're experts at exploiting the great dumbing down and they have a propaganda operation that has successfully gotten white working class males to vote against their best interests since Reagan hoodwinked the country in 1980.
