Oh good grief. Newt has divested himself of a ton of liberal dilettante baggage over the years, including global warming — he may be impulsive but he is not asinine. This is not the same as Mitt Romney who is still cheering for an Obamacare like regime, only coming through the so called “states rights” door.
Statements like that are exactly why I just don’t trust Newt.
Thank you AiT. As painful as it is to see the real Newt out himself, it needs to be done.
This guy made some vicious comments about Reagan during his term in office. At one point he said his policies were as bad as Carter’s. At other points he predicted massive failure due to Reagan policies. He also stated that the first Reagan/Gorbachev summit was the scariest one since Hitler/McMillin.
And this is the guy that wants credit for Reagan’s legacy being passed to him? LMAO, he hated the Reagan legacy. “The world has changed.”
At another time, he said, “The Reagan legacy is dead.”
No Newt, it’s your legacy that is dead, if folks pay any attention to who you have been all along.
Newt sadly follows Newt. I doubt he understands anything about being a representative of the people. He’s a legacy seeker like Clinton. See my tagline. We need steady.
Has anyone ever posted that as a thread?
I watched the clip. Whew! You had me scared there for a minute. I thought it was something really bad. That was a bigger “bust” than Sean Hannity’s big expose’ of the Obama/Professor Bell video.
Newt was just saying: The Reagan years were good but, people now need a change. The fickle American public likes “new”. This is not an indictment against Newt, IMO.
Nice try; now have a nice day.
