I’m glad Newt looked the opportunity to lead
Republicans to win the House for the first time in more than 40 years.

That was in the 2000 campaign, IIRC.

That describes every politician.

Newt cooperated with the oppo party more than any Speaker ever, co-sponsoring more bills that any such duo. He did spend a lot of time on her couch, of course.

I still don’t know if he supports the individual mandate or not, he did say he likes about 300 pages of ObamaCare.
He did basically approve of amnesty during this campaign.

Everything a politician does is ‘political opportunism’. I guess except the ones who never flip flop.

Paul Weyric would disagree.

He thought Newt would be as great president.

Paul Weyrich Warns Conservatives on Romney and Endorses Gingrich From the Grave (this is a Free Republic Post)

Yes the same Paul Weyrich that founded the Heritage Foundation and the Free Congress Foundation, two of the most influential think tanks in the conservative movement. Weyrich co-founded the Moral Majority and coined the phrase.

Jim, do you have a rogue moderator?

This was posted yesterday on 1/28/12 @ 16:58:46, but it was moved to the top of the list for Front Page news today just a few moments ago. Why would a moderator re-post a story very critical of Newt by a Romney supporter to the top of Front Page?

Just asking is all.

I will bet if this were favorable to Gingrich it would be in front page breaking news; its not so it is bloggerland.Putting up only the Good Gingrich articles does not make it all go away.I can’t stand Romney but denial will get no one nowhere.

I don’t think he has an ideological core. I think he moves from one issue to another to another.”

I've been saying that since he drank the green kool aid and got caught on the couch with Pelosi.
