1998 was the last year that Gingrich, Paul and Santorum were all in Congress. Gingrich’s annual and lifetime ACU ratings were far better than both of the others:
100% - Gingrich: Annual 1998 ACU Rating (90% Lifetime Rating as of 1998)
88% - Paul: Annual 1998 ACU Rating (88% Lifetime Rating as of 1998)
84% - Santorum: Annual 1998 ACU Rating (83% Lifetime Rating as of 1998)

That’s great stuff. I didn’t realize Santorum only had an 83% at that point. I wonder what his weakness was? Pork projects for PA?
Newt’s congressional constituency was a lot more conservative than Santorum’s. An 83% lifetime ACU rating from a state which is maybe 50% conservative shows a lot more courage than a 90% rating from a congressional district which is probably 90% conservative.
lol, why did you leave off Bachmann? Hopefully is was just a slight oversight because she has a 100% lifetime rating.

Excellent research by both of you. There’s no doubt that Gingrich is a conservative and I think he’s improved with age. I know I have. He’s also authored 23 books so it’s easy to find quotes to cherry pick if one is so inclined, but “voting records of major accomplishments” are there for all to see.
I’ve read the thread and know why you didn’t include Michele Bachmann in your comparison.

Now compare to Bachmann's lifetime ACU rating of 100%.
