It was more than just being a supporter. Gingrich became a personal friend of the Tofflers, socialized with them and even considered them as mentors, in much the same manner as Bill Clinton considered his professor Carroll Quigley, author of "Tragedy and Hope", as a friend and mentor.
At this point, solely because of his abilities and willingness to take the fight to his opponents, and the lack of other, more suitable, viable and trustworthy alternatives, I will support Gingrich, but I do not trust him.
Gingrich is possibly the ultimate stealth candidate - the problem is that it can cut both ways. It all depends on what in his his mind, and more importantly, in his heart. Some people do change, re-examine their premises, learn from their mistakes, etc.
If Gingrich has done so, experienced an epiphany of sorts, so to speak, and decided to attempt a restoration of as much of our original constitutional Republic as possible, then he will be a formidable adversary in combating the corrupt establishment which is trying to remake America and the world as their own personal fiefdom, with us as their serfs, naturally.
However, if he's still on their side and supports their globalist agenda, then he could be their fallback option should Romney fail, and thus the ultimate Trojan horse/Pied Piper to deceive and lead the American people into oblivion as far as their freedom, rights and sovereignty are concerned.
At this moment, Gingrich is an enigma to both sides. I don't trust him, and there is plenty in his background and history to merit that distrust. By the reverse token, because of that same history the elites have good reason to expect he's still their man, but they don't trust him fully either, hence their current all-out effort to knock him out and lock-in the nomination for Romney, and even start floating trial balloons about Jeb Bush and other wholly-owned establishment assets again.
As I've said before in other discussions, we're in uncharted territory and the only thing we can say for certain is that the course ahead is uncertain, treacherous and dangerous, and that the mythical America wherein "the People" can truly, freely choose their leaders and government is dead, and the game is rigged, but even so we have no choice except to play.
If his soon to be released book (mid next years I believe) does still harp on man-made global warming and our need to combat it, I think your pondering will cease.
I don’t trust him. He’s been off the reservation way too much for my trust.
