Oh, my. I can’t thank you enough for posting that link! I would have missed the article/thread, and it’s one of the best I’ve seen in days.
“Reagan’s Young Lieutenant”
MissMagnolia - What a great link.
To tell you the truth, some of Romney’s criticisms of Newt and the Reagan years were troubling to me and it seemed like no one was disagreeing with Romney. This article is really GOOD! And from someone who was there and is credible. It also explains why so many “conservatives” are lining up against Newt.
I’m just a lurker, rarely comment, and have no idea how to post. Can you post this under latest articles so everyone can read it? Thanks for making it available!
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.
