It all sounds good untill you dig a little deeper than Newt's talking points pushed from his campaign.
He certainly has accomplished alot...moving the ball for the progressive agenda. He co-sponsored the Global Warming Prevention Act of 1989, supported “Cap and Trade”, lobbied for ethanol subsidies, and wants to expand and rebrand the EPA. He supported NAFTA, GATT, the IMF, foreign aid, TARP, voted for increasing the debt ceiling many times, and earmarks SPIKED under his “leadership”.
He’s a BIG GOVERNMENT guy...not a fiscal conservative. Newt calls the Paul Ryan budget plan "right wing social engineering". He supported spending $30B for the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 that shackled gun owners with new restrictions, federalized a number of crimes, and handed the feds police powers that the Constitution reserves to the states.
Newt cosponsored the 1987 Fairness Doctrine (anti 1st Amendment legislation) and voted for the anti-gun Brady Campaign’s Lautenberg Gun Ban. He want amnesty for illegals, props up Al Sharpton and Hitlery Clinton and sings the praises of his mentor, Slick Willie.
He has cozied up with the leftist agenda far too many times to be considered having the conservative record he claims. What's "conservative" about that?
