Furthermore, you completely ignore Newt's 2nd Amendment issues detailed (with citations) in my #59, and which both organizations find more objectionable? Why do Rick's votes for riders and amendments count as "devastating votes", but Newt's complete abandonment of his pledge, “As long as I am Speaker of this House, no gun control legislation is going to move in committee or on the floor of this House and there will be no further erosion of their rights,” is perfectly excusable?
Not only did various measures "move" in committee and on the floor, he supported and voted for some of them.
Even Georgia Gun Owners have substantive issues with Newt:
"In 1996, Newt Gingrich turned his back on gun owners and voted for the anti-gun Brady Campaign’s Lautenberg Gun Ban, which strips the Second Amendment rights of citizens involved in misdemeanor domestic violence charges or temporary protection orders — in some cases for actions as minor as spanking a child."
"Gingrich also stood shoulder to shoulder with Nancy Pelosi to pass the “Criminal Safezones Act” which prevents armed citizens from defending themselves in certain arbitrary locations."
You willfully miss the relevent difference:
Newt has admitted his folly, while Rickey sweatervest has been totally silent on his own.
Only a complete fool votes for a smug tyrant that refuses to admit his mistakes, but Rickey has yet to even admit them even to himself.
He is not qualified to get my vote.
