You may not have noticed, but the number of drama queens increases on this site (and probably others) as nomination times start and election time nears. People "see and hear" what they want to see and hear. IMO, Brit is much more a consistent friend to conservatism than Newt - mostly because it's not all about his ego.
I really did think Brit was calm, collected and summed it all up pretty well.
If I got to pick what a vicious attack would be on me. I would pick that. LOL
