Newt Gingrich is an opportunistic fraud. He squandered his leadership role in the past; displays irrational judgment under pressure; and is totally unfit to lead ANY sanctioned movement is direct support of the GOP. And, I have just started on this subject !!

I've heard Republicans trashing the Contract With America which was one of the most inspiring and influential political documents/strategies of the 20th century, and they usually can't tell you why they are trashing it or Gingrich.

I think the media instructed a lot of negativity about Newt on to the masses because they considered him dangerous to liberalism.

The media knew the danger of Gingrich and mustered all resources to take him down.

"I think the media instructed a lot of negativity about Newt on to the masses because they considered him dangerous to liberalism".

You sir, are correct. The media use personal attacks to destroy Newt. They ignored personal failures by Clintoon to keep him in power.

Then disgracefully, Newt was abandoned by the people who prospered from his ideas and ideals.
