That was essentially what the book Reagan’s Secret War covered
Thank you, Josh. Newt and Jesse Helms were among the truest bluest supporters of the Gipper. These Romney people are amazing liars.
Of course this was written by the noted “leftist” Eliot Abrams
for the record this is sarcasm
... or, a liberal Democrat until he married Podhoretz's step-daughter.
That's all that matters now.
Reagan’s Young Lieutenant. Gingrich a star on Reagan team...

The NR article incensed me to the degree that I read every comment to the NR article. They were almost equally pro- and anti-Newt. I found the pro-Newt comments to be fact-based and rational and the anti-Newt comments to be the opposite, not because of my views, but because of the prevalence of ad hominem and judgmental comments from the anti-Newters. One of the first comments was the best, in my view. It addressed likely bias on Abrams part. Abrams was in Jim Baker's circle. Baker and his group detested Newt. Thirty years later, they still nurse a grudge.
The strength of opinion about Newt is really off the charts. Many of those opposed to him are more vitriolic than I could imagine they ever could be toward Democrats. This is all the more reason why they must be defeated.
You’re very welcome. It’s an important article - pass it on/around if you can.
If you object to being treated like an idiot, stop acting like one.
And then when President Newt, turns out to be much more like Nixon/Bush then Reagan, you all will be racing around here whining hysterically about him
Now Reagan is now not so perfect. And Newt will be even worse because he will govern to the left of Reagan?
I'm confused.

Speaking of idiots, I see you still haven’t figured out how to make your comments as “replies” to posts, something I believe every other freeper knows how to do.
Maybe you should figure that out before you embarrass yourself calling other people names.
Of course this was written by the noted “leftist” Eliot AbramsYes, Abrams is a conservative, or more precisely a neoconservative, and while I do not support neoconservative foreign policy I respect Abrams for his foreign policy analysis and his commitment to the analytic process, but do you know what's really conservative?--or what really serves the cause of conservatism?--supporting even with your silence the only movement conservative candidate available to us at the moment, which would be Gingrich, and not lending your good name to a group of editors committed to the candidacy of the man whose only achievement as a failed one term governor is a program of policy functionally identical to ObamaCare, viz. RomneyCare.
for the record this is sarcasm.It's always a shame to have to explain a joke. Keep working on it. It's all in the delivery.
I clearly like that observation. None of us are right all the time and there are always those who will remind us when we have been wrong.
Well if you are not an idiot, why do you spend so much time posting like one?
Nice comeback. What’s next? “I know you are but what am I?”
