your favorite moderate taking a beating is he?
Newt did much for the Conservative movement in the 90s. People seem to forget that. His roots are Conservative and he will never be a total Moderate. The power of Washington has ruined 90% of the people who ever went there with principles and ideals. They became political whores very quickly. Newt has had a spiritual conversion, repented and is remorseful for much in his past. I’m gonna cut him some slack.
