You’ve just have to compare Newt’s voting record with Santorum’s.
Anyway, let’s look at Newt’s actual record:
Voted YES on the Reagan tax cut of 1981
Voted YES on the Reagan tax reform bill of 1986
Voted NO on the George H.W. Bush “Read My Lips” tax hike in 1990.
Voted NO on the Clinton tax hike in 1993.
Voted YES on the capital gains tax cut in 1997.
Voted NO on the Chrysler bailout in 1979
Voted YES on the Gramm-Rudman balanced budget bill in 1985
Voted YES on a balanced budget amendment (as part of the “Contract for America” effort that he led) in 1995
Led the effort and voted YES to cut $16.4 billion from the budget in 1995.
Voted YES on welfare reform in 1996
The Federal spending while Gingrich was Speaker of the House (1995-1999) increased only with 3.1% a year, compared with Bush era 6.7% (Santorum’s years in the Senate, in which the federal spending DOUBLED) and the disasterous Obama’s term of 9% per year. Also, under Newt leadership of the House, the Federal spending as a % of GDP fell from 21% to 18.5%, a whopping decline in 4 short years.
People must know all these date, before choosing a real conservative candidate.
Rick’s candidacy is about moral revenge. There’s no plan.
