you did Not answer my question: “And who is “arch friend” conservatism if Gingrich is the arch enemy?”
Unless your “no he is not” means that Gingrich is both conservatism’s arch enemy and arch friend?
I’m not going to make a list of one or more people who I think are solid.
Gingrich is the issue here, and I’ve explained how he hurts us over and over again.
All it takes is half a dozen or so people like this, to short-circut any issue that comes up.
Dole, Lott, Ryan, McConnell, McCain, Krystol, Krauthammer, Will, they have all taken turns at destroying our leverage against the Left.
Newt is in that group. It gives me no great pleasure to say it, but I’ve seen him do it half a dozen times at critical points along the way. I do not trust him.
He is an inside player, that screws us from within.
