With the current leadership, I'd say you might be right. Gingrich didn't care. What is amazing about him was at the time, wasn't he the only R from Georgia? Now what's Georgia's delegation look like today? More than half are R's.

Gingrich had a full backbone installed, to the point where he shut down the government. It backfired on him, but he proved you could be principled and still maintain R control, at least in the House.

Ah yes, Gingrich.....one of the last principled R's in the House. I loved the guy, still do. He was successfully vilified by the left. However, Tom Delay does measure up to Gingrich but he too is beginning to cave on principal from time to time because of strong-armed tactics coming from a popular President.

I'd love to see all Republicans get on the same page with respect to conservative ideas/agenda once in my life. With the current resident at the White House and his big-government agenda, I'm not holding my breath.

Who is running on the Constitionalist ticket this year??????????? Anyone?????
