RE :”The endorsement includes no recognition that Gingrich was creamed by Bill Clinton in the budget standoff. No mention of the ethics violations and the penchant to compromise away conservative principles. No mention of the House Republicans’ attempted coup against Gingrich’s leadership. And no mention of his post-speakership, which consisted primarily of feathering his nest by shilling for causes and interests the Union Leader opposed (e.g. ethanol subsidies, Freddie Mac, Medicare Part D, immigration reform). “

Clinton had alot of help beating Newt, from Newt.
Newt just had to complain to the MSM about getting a crappy seat on AF in the middle of the 1995 budget standoff/government shutdown so it could get made fun of by SNL and those in popular media and be made to look like the whole reason why Republicans were doing it. Newt is the gift...

I championed the idea of Newt's over all debating skills, pretty solid over all understanding of how the Federal government works, and in some cases, strong conservative parts such as maintaining a strong military, his knowledge base on history at large, especially recent history as how it pertains to American foreign affairs, the inner workings of how the House and Senate operate, blah, blah, blah, as representing a strong candidate that could beat the socialist usurper now residing in the White House.
But I totally admit my dismay at how much is coming out about his shortcomings as one (Newt) who pretends to be a solid conservative. But then equal in alarm. I see no one other then perhaps Cain, and he is slipping downward, who could provide a successful challenge and potential win over the ice cream sucking golfer who bows to the rest of the world and plays careful attention to obeying his sundry mix of socialist and communist advisers.
I in all humility continue to think my often descriptions as how the damaged canoe with lost paddles rams hard against the rocks in the deep sets of rapids with a soon arrival at the final huge standing wave front before it flies off the huge water fall, IS entirely pertinent to the current scenario we find our selves in.
Like most here and at other conservative web sites and organizations in general. There is little comfort to be taken in recent developments. I have to hit the rack shortly. Do have a pleasant upcoming day.
