He is starting to come across as a smart untrustworthy weasel like Nixon.
Yes, Nixon was somewhat conservative, but he also established federal affirmative action, the EPA, and wage and price controls.
Newt seems like a similar opportunist - anything to stay in office.
Well ... this "is" Free Republic ... where "ideas" supported by "facts" are the Currency of the Realm ...

. Please get a dictionary and look up the word “opinion”. I provided my opinion and you responded with a bunch of links to a politician’s speeches.
I don’t need to defend the established facts that led me to an opinion. If you have a different opinion, then state it. If you can contradict my facts, then attempt to do so. Otherwise, you are as much hot air as Newt.
