I can agree with this but there has to be more to choosing a president than debating skills. Record has to account for something.
Oh, year, about Newt’s record...
He has done more to put Ronald Reagan’s conservative policies into government practice than anyone else presently running for the Republican Party presidential nominee position.
I usually ignore endorsements, as they’re generally quid pro quo arrangements, but Gingrich is now endorsed by Michael Reagan, Art Laffer, and numerous other former Reagan administration officials. LTC West has agreed to be Gingrich’s running mate (or so I’ve read on FR) and John Bolton has agreed to be Secretary of State. That is impressive.
When Newt was in Congress, President George H.W.Bush had decided to announce he would work with the Congress and raise taxes, thus violating his “Read my lips...” promise. Congressman Gingrich wouldn’t support that action. I view Newt’s act as conservative, and not the action of a RINO.
Newt Gingrich is pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment and loves America and understands its citizens. As a historian, he thoroughly knows the U.S. Constitution and our nation’s history.
He allied himself with Ronald Reagan to build the Reagan Coalition, the Religious Right, and the Republican majority (together the Reagan Revolution) which directly led the downfall of the Soviet Union, the Contract with America, government reforms, less government, tax cuts, a balanced budget, and the great, longstanding Reagan economy.
Washington is broken, it doesn’t work the way it is supposed to and Newt said, if elected, he will work to change the way Washington does business. You better believe the elitists who suck money off of government contracts are terrified he will be elected.
He knows where the bodies are buried.
He knows where the skeletons are hidden.
He knows about the secret ways and byways by which influence peddling moves in Washington.
When a middle-class citizen is elected to Congress and returns home 20 years later a multimillionaire, it is due to corruption in government. And that influence pedaling corruption may even be legal!
We have to change Washington in order to get our nation back on the right track.
I believe that Newt Gingrich is the only candidate with true leadership ability who can and will change Washington, D.C. He isn’t perfect. Who is? But I believe at this time, at this juncture in in nation’s existence, he can lead this country away from the abyss of socialism and will right the ship of state.
He has a long political resume and acknowledges that he has made mistakes - like sitting on that sofa with Nancy Pelosi. But Sir Winston Churchill fluctuated between being a Conservative and a Liberal, and was even labeled a madman by some in England, yet he had the leadership to save Great Britain.
Let’s hope Newt Gingrich, with all his imperfections, can do the same for us.
Record?
Balanced budget, GOP takover of the Hill for the first time in 50 YEARS, welfare reform... yeah, Newt’s record can’t compare to Santorum
What precisely has RS done for us over the last 20 years in politics, pray tell? I can’t name a thing.
