You claim you have no interest in historical facts, but in case you change your mind, here are a few.

1995 Republican majority: 230/204
1999 Republcian majority: 223/211

U.S. Budget, 1995: Taxes: $1351.9 Spending: $1515.9
U.S. Budget, 1999: Taxes: $1827.6 Spending: $1702.0

So during Gingrich’s term as Speaker of the House, we lost 7 seats, taxes went up almost $500 billion, Spending went up almost $200 billion, and we lost the “ethics” issue.

There was also the disastrous handling of the “government shutdown” fight in 1995, which can be laid squarely at Newt’s feet. If Boehner pulled a stunt like that, we’d all be attacking him as a pitiful RINO.
