Newt has a lifetime 90% conservative record..... a senior fellow with the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. He is also a constitutionalist....known for leading the 1994 “Republican Revolution” that swept the GOP into the House majority for the first time in over forty years, and he deserves immense credit for that. He is no way a rino and his record attests to that.

I have no reservations whatsoever that Newt is 100% for our country and devoted to it’s prosperity. His record attests to that as we have seen on FR....

We all know where Newt’s mis-steps were...and guess what...not significant to the peril this country is in and the abilities he has to get congress to move on what we as conservatives need them to move on.

Am sorry you cannot understand the whole picture ‘yet’...but I think in time you’ll see why people are agreeing to support him....and even those who do have some reservations. Newt’s the best chance we’ve got to take out Obama and to put the breaks on the trajectory this nation is on...and that’s simply a fact.

His 90% rating reflected his voting record while in Congress, correct? Someone on this page posted his votes while in Congress and it was anything but Conservative on many issues. However, as I said, this was his record while in Congress...what has happened since he has been out of office is a different matter. And, he has been wrong too many times. Maybe if you’d realize this fact, you’d know what I meant. The problem with Newt is that he HAS to be liked by the DC elites....this is his acheilles heel. I will vote for him over Obama, just not in the primaries.
