Yup. Gingrich IS a liberal. Some call him a moderate. The more conservatives learn about where he stands, the less they will like him. He has a lot of baggage and he is politically radioactive with his amnesty comments. He will never beat Obama.
I'm not sure Newt's immigration stance will really hurt him with the the typical TEA party or conservative GOP voter who likes Newt's positions on some of what I consider the top tier issues which I mentioned.
And it will probably help him with some other, more independent or moderate voting demographics...
