Newt has a long and successful history as a campaigner. I’ve found articles from the 90s and late 80s with Newt just going toe to toe with even the leaders of his own party fighting tax cuts, pushing welfare reform, making “controversial” statements. He’s fearless and a NATURAL LEADER. And leaders are something we haven’t had for a long time.
Mittens and Santorum don’t have that kind of talent or even any hint of it in their records. In 1994 I believe, Romney was running on a “I’m not Ronald Reagan” ticket. Santorum was running on a “I sat with Barbara boxer writing legislation for “Open Space.” I’m working with Hillary on legislation against violent video games” platform in 2006.
Newt Gingrich was running on a platform that consisted of blaming the welfare state as contributing to the collapse of society.
LOL! Now I'm reminded why we raised today's OTHER Lazarus back from the dead! Sounds like you made good use of your free time during zot purgatory to catch up on your research.
