The “GinGrinch” Steals Christmas

Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich is much nastier than the Grinch of children’s storybook fame, who only disguised himself as Santa to ruin Christmas. Gingrich is a moral leper who fleeced taxpayers for millions of dollars and wants to start World War III by attacking Iran.

Gingrich has been naughty not nice, so we’re making a list and checking it twice.

For helping Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac destroy the economy, costing millions of Americans their jobs and homes, “The GinGrinch” was paid $1.6 million to oppose those who wanted to stop these taxpayer-guaranteed loans. On April 24, 2007—just before the collapse—Gingrich said: “I think conservatives should embrace and want to extend (these sub-prime loans) as widely as possible.” In 2008, three-quarters of all home loans in the U.S. were guaranteed by taxpayers through Freddie Mac.

If Gingrich gets in the White House, he will turn the country into a coast-to-coast real-life nightmare a la Frank Capra’s vision of Pottersville, the fictional alternative reality in the movie It’s a Wonderful Life.

As for me, all I want for Christmas is for Gingrich and all the neocons to volunteer for the frontlines in Afghanistan and all the other countries they want America to attack. I want someone like Ron Paul to win the White House and bring America’s sons and daughters safely home. I want to solve our money problems by getting rid of the banksters’ privately owned Federal Reserve.
