I’m an unabashed Gingrich fan but everyone has a lapse every now and again. He’s had more than his share but I still see him as the hero of the 1994 Revolution.

Sadly he has Grown into his roll, and I was a Gingrich fan from the beginning. He no longer has the protection of the Constitution on his agenda.

Our country is in a death spiral, as am I, hopefully I will not outlive our Republic.

Yea, Judas had a momentary lapse, too. “Fat Elvis” can go to hell!

This is true without question. Make that THE hero. Gingrich's problem, as is true with most revolutionaries, he thought he was capable of leading the post Revolution. He was not.

He had way too much personal baggage, and along the way he became a citizen of the world.

If Gingrich could somehow become a consistent conservative, he could be a very worthy pundit helping the cause. He won't live long enough to lead the party. He's already too old, and will be much older before he can prove he can be trusted to forgo his world citizenship long enough to join the fray in a capacity other than as an analyst. Regardless, he should stick to analyzing.
