Oops, better not think that Newt is a "real conservative." If you do, you too will be buying damaged goods. I was absolutely on board with everything Newt at first until I watched him sell out his conservatives in the House during the first "government shut down."
Yes, yes, I know he referred to Sen. Robert Dole as Sen. Gasahol but Newt was unable to really lead when the rubber met the road.
He also was totally unable to speak out against Clinton during and before the Impeachment because, he too was having an affair with his Congressional aide.
The result, Newt sold out his base in Congress and they refused to come to bat for him when it counted. He knew he would not be reelected as Speaker of the House so he quit. Now he wants to be your President, nope not for me.
The worst trick Newt pulled, was when they had the IRS on the ropes over all their foul-ups, and instead of redoing the tax code, he said we'll run on that next year. He's a JOKE.
