He’s saying all the right things now just as he said and DID all the right things when he was in office.
His actions in resent times don’t worry you?
He torpedoed a real conservatives chances to win in a blue state by supporting a whack left winger who supported and still supports democrats.
He bad mouthed Paul Ryan on his conservative budget just a few short months ago.
Newt says that the era of Reagan is over....this one troubles me tremendously.
His stance on global warming is frightening.
He supports a single payer health care system.
Forget an out what the man is saying and look at his actions TODAY. They are anything but conservative. What he did 15 years ago is a moot point IMO.
Newt believes that everything can be fixed with a govt program. This is a telling sentence. To me it means that’s newt is really a progressive at heart.
Even if I agreed with that, some of the things Gingrich has done out of office have been horrible for conservatism and the country.
For example, opposing George Bush's 2005 effort to more strongly regulate Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, all the while taking millions in taxpayer money as a consultant to Freddie Mac. According to former Freddie Mac officials, Gingrich was hired:
to build bridges to Capitol Hill Republicans and develop an argument on behalf of the company’s public-private structure that would resonate with conservatives seeking to dismantle it.
If Gingrich concluded that the company’s business model was at risk and that the housing market was a “bubble,” as he said during the debate, he didn’t share those concerns with Richard Syron, Freddie Mac’s chief executive officer at the time, a person familiar with the company’s internal discussions said.
Remember this video? THAT was who Gingrich was aligning with.
That was not the act of a person with good conservative instincts.
