I don’t give a damn about Newt’s personal life. What matters to me is his record, and as Speaker, he proved himself to be a mediocre leader at best. He’s as bad as Boehner in that regard. He’s great at giving lectures, but when it comes to actually getting it done, he’s always AWOL. And today he paints this revisionist history of how he single-handedly balanced the budget four years in a row, which is complete BS. Not one single year of his entire House career was our budget ever in balance. Noot is only a legend in his own mind. His leadership ability sucks, and his latest Presidential campaing is evidence of that.

I don't believe it because I am telling you I don't buy the revision of your history. Too vague; too angry. I don't want a weak person. I don't care about a person's past life as long as they have turned their mistakes into good and ask for forgiveness. I don't expect to have a perfect candidate. Newt knows the media and takes them to task. No matter who you support, there will NEVER be a change until you have a person that can literally outmatch the media. You got a name, buddy, that can use Newt's solutions. Don't worry to reply-some of your posts surely don't follow your tag.

Though your wording is accurate, it portrays inaccuracy.

Mr.Newt and the House worked out a budget which greatly cut the deficit, and promoted growth in the US, which after much crying by Clinton was signed into law. That budget essentially remained in force until 9/11.

It was a remarkable feat of resolve by Mr.Newt and his House, which has not been accomplished at another time in the past century.

Mr.Newt is not an angel, and I don’t believe he has the best “conservative” credentials, but to deny his accomplishments is disingenuous and approaching deceitful.
