Yes he has a history...don't we all? and don't we all have pivotal places where we changed our outlook as well? Of course we do. Why is it when a politician sees the facts as they are and not what they were people still hold them to their former opinions or stances?
Good grief I don't think the same way after joining FR....good things do come when people want to know how things really are...and take the time to investigate these.
I did just that with Newt and too many are blowing him off without the realization of where he once was, what changed his positions, and how he came about those changes to stand where he does today....and it's worth finding out..and then look at what you find..
He’s made those “changes” in time for an election cycle, and not even all of them. It was in May of this year when he mentioned he was for a Health care mandate. It wasn’t too long ago when he double crossed the Tea Party and also attacked Paul Ryan’s plan. Certainly, people can “change”, but he has a pattern of behavior that has NOT changed. You shouldn’t let yourself be snookered by a smooth talking politician. Lying is what they do for a living.
