That's exactly right, if we choose to ignore the fact that it was his Leadership that swept the Republicans into the Majority after 40 years (elected Speaker 1995-1999) of Democrat rule, and the architect of the Contract With America was forwarded by him, AND he led the House through the Clinton Presidency, IN SPITE of the Liberal MSM bombarding the country with Clinton-Speak and Leftist propoganda.
Now, if you think he should have ignored all that and focused on the Illegal aliens and the Debt, and not accomplished what his Leadership did, THEN you have a case.
Notwithstanding all those accomplishments, I stand by my contention that he is the CLOSEST thing to a Conservative in the list of potential 2008 candidates.

All *what* accomplishments? Getting elected is not an accomplishment. Withstanding the tide of the MSM once elected is not an *accomplishment*.
"Closest thing to a conservative?" More conservative than Hunter?

I don't know who TO vote for, but I know that Gingrich has let us down on the national debt, the border, his wife, and since this is 2008 we're talking about, and not 1996 or 2000, "Bohemian Grove" will be a household name, and that will kill the Evangelical Christian turnout, which we can't win without.
IF, out of a nation of 300 million, the Republican party can only dig up Newt Gingrich, then this country is finished anyways, AND I DON'T BUY THAT.
This is a bad idea that needs to be killed pronto.
Fresh blood is all I'm asking for.

WELL SAID.
I am thinking that either Newt or Mitt Romney are acceptable. Mitt Romney is a leader with exutive epxerience and ability; and he is still with wife number 1 and articulate, ie, Newt without the personal baggage.
