I never thought we’d start allowing people to attack Reagan to defend a less conservative candidate here.

Personally, I don’t mind people expressing opinions, even wrong ones, but this place does zot people for attacking conservative icons. And apparently, Gingrich.

The problem is that as soon as all the bandwagon jumpers here on FR claim their seats, they feel obliged to defend their new chosen favorite as someone faultless as the wind-drifted snow.

It was true of the Palindrones.

It was true of the Cainiacs.

And now it's true of the freshly minted, toeing-the-FR-line Newtistas.

I've supported Newt since the first debate. I still support him. But I never delude myself that he has no flaws or negatives. He's the best of those who are running, no more, no less.
