Heck, Newt was my boy going back to the ‘08 election when I halfway wished he would have tossed his hat in the ring, but figured he wouldn’t (and didn’t) because it was a Democrat year. When he started making noises about running this time around I was pleased, but immediately he started playing games with us. He not only threw traditional-American conservatives overboard, but he couldn’t even wait till the formality of the primaries were concluded before he started winking at Mexicans over amnesty! Then there was the way he tut-tutted Paul Ryan over spending cuts. Can you imagine all the positions he’d be yielding to the Left as a part of some triangulation scheme where he’s too clever by half?
Good point. His trashing those who wanted to enforce immigration laws on long term illegals as “inhumane” was the start of his downfall. It was his Perryesque “heartless” moment. Seeing him pander at that Spanish Univision event was pat of the reason I dumped him for Santorum. He even attacked Romney for being too tough on illegals-LOL
BTW-As far as nastiness, the “Newt or no one!” crowd jumped that shark long ago. The way supporters of Santorum were treated by a few here was sickening.
I don’t know this Carmen guy.
Maybe he’s a punk. But there’s lots of history out there between Reagan & Gingrich, not all of it good.
Could be the point is you can hang anybody by something he said at some point in his life.
