Post-Gingrich Republicans Who Invented "Big Government Conservatism" Have Much To Answer For

Post-Gringrich? How about Post-Reagan. Although Gringrich was the author of the Contract for America, he was the first one to bail on it as soon as the term limitations item came up before Congress. Maybe if he could have seen the future of his not being reelected to Speaker of the House, he would have stuck with the Contract.

Not “Post-Reagan” either: he never submitted a balanced budget. I’m sure I’ll get flamed for saying anything bad about Reagan, but it is true

No one in either mainstream party gets high marks for fiscal discipline

This bears repeating. Gingrich is no friend of conservatism, and in my opinion, he's a coward.
