Only one candidate campaigned for democrat votes in a republican primary.

I have heard over and over that Republicans refuse to work with or compromise on issues with Democrats. Mr. Newt has made an effort to make strides with the voters that the Democrats have brainwashed into thinking Republicans don't fight for minorities. He has made attempts to bring his point of view to many of the liberal ideas. Maybe it hasn't worked, but how can you fault him for making an effort to bring conservative ideas to the argument?

Democrats are genius's at making Republicans look like fools on just about every subject, and Republicans seem to make the same mistakes over and over. Republicans wanted to fix FannieMae and FreddieMac, but they lost every time due to the House and Senate. How can they do that if they never attempt to work with Democrats? Liberals shy away from facts, they just will not accept that Republicans have a different method of tackling these problems. I agree working with Nancy Pelosi may have been a bad idea, but I think he was right to try to influence the conversation with conservative ideas on the subject. I don't know all the facts about each of these cases, but I also do not believe his heart was in the wrong place by trying.

Mr. Newt was able to convince a great many Democrats to go along with many of his proposals when he was speaker. Even had to step on a few Republican toes to do it, which is why some Republicans still have their panties in a twist. Bush worked with Kennedy on No Child Left Behind. I am sure Santorum worked with many liberals on union projects because he is such a union representative. Are you going to hold that against him? Look at his voting record. Romney worked with an 85% liberal legislature, and look what happened in Massachusetts. He touts his record all the time about working with liberals. However, you only hold Mr. Newt to his record, how about theirs?

Mr. Newt will all his faults is still the most qualified to be President. Are you saying that he never worked on Conservative causes? How ignorant can you possibly be? You should take the time to watch the video “Newt Gingrich and the Republican Revolution” and then tell me he did not progress the conservative party on every issue. How about taking control of the House after 40 years of Democratic control? Get off your high horse and come back down to reality. Do your research. And by the way, Mr. Newt did not support cap and trade as Santorum continues to say. He also did not lobby for FannieMae and FreddieMac, another lie.

Working with Al Sharpton show Newt is the man with vision and compassion for all. We should all work to give a new fresh start for those inner-city kids.

Dude are You Nieve or just plain dumb.

Georgia is a Republican state largely because of Newt.

His 1994 Contract with America where he actively recruit new conservative members to congress.
