Newt is an establishment Republican and just represents more of what we have come to distrust the GOP for.
Good job digging out that info about Gingrich’s liberal record! The time to stop him is BEFORE he gets the nomination. Spread the word far and wide!
Great list. Thanks.
Thanks for the information. The more people learn about Newty the less they are liking him. Good, because he is a liberal through and through and liberalism is destroying this country.
You forgot his 1990 push for Romney/obamacare and his push for medicare D in 2003...
