Thanks - I remember it well.
I agree that the Republican Left wing played a powerful role in the destruction of Gingrich.
However, once again, Gingrich, a political historian, was completely unprepared for the attacks that came from within his own Party.
The GOP Left has been attacking Conservatives since Teddy Roosevelt was president 115 years ago, but Gingrich never saw it coming, and he actually expected the GOP Left to defend him against the Democrats.
But, in the end, Gingrich also betrayed the Conservatives who put their faith in his leadership.
Since 2000, Gingrich has repeatedly attacked Conservatives on immigration, environmental issues, and basic governance issues.
Speaking personally, I will never forgive him for that, and I will never trust him again as a leader.
Agreed about Newts character and actions. The takeover I linked to has put the GOP in the hands of GOP-E ever since. Conservatives agenda was tossed aside and Boehner took over.
We don’t have an Independent Senate candidate in TX; all I can do is skip the first contest on the ballot; that means’ I can’t shade a master oval.
RINO Rryan is trying to take over for Speaker “Blank Check” Boehner.
RINO Ryan might even ask “Romneycare” Romney to give him political advice!
Yeah, the laimstream media buried the fact that Medicare Part D was $33 billion over budget 30 days after it passed. It’s easy to maintain that golden boy image when the media only does their job when it suits their agenda.
