A bit more context on F & F from 1995:

This issue is just getting stupid.

Agree - I wonder why the NYT is still dredging up old carap on Newt unless they really fear he may make another comeback. I find it odd that they had to go back 14 years, especially since the institutions hadn't been insinuated so deeply into the deal that crashed things.

As long as the Newt hit pieces keep coming, there's hope.

Who’s your candidate? C’mon, spit it out.

Lets see, we have the Republican Establishment selling us the Dole, McCain clone and the media chiming in, so what is our choice. Do Conservatives work harder to build the local, state governments towards the end of getting more conservative federal leaders or are we stuck with the situation of regurgitating the same CINO’s (Conservatives in Name Only) over and over. Looking hopeless this time around.
