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.
Well, I bad mouthed Ryan. He ain’t perfect, y’know. I was mad as hell at Ryan when he voted to increase the debt limit authorizing Obama to squander another trillion dollars and more on his Marxist wealth redistribution schemes.
Newt is a pro-life Reagan conservative. He’d be more likely to revive the era of Reagan than end it.
He wants to repeal and abolish ObamaCare. Hell, he wants to repeal and abolish all things Obama.
Newt has said some strange things, but he’s always been that way. His accomplishments are the measure of the man. No other candidates in this field have nearly the record of Newt’s actual conservative accomplishments. He’s a bulldog when he gets to chomping on Democrats.

The misrepresentation about Newt's health care ideas on this forum is disturbing. He has never supported "single payer". He has said people should be responsible for their own health care. That is a conservative principle. Do you want to pay for freeloader's health care?
The health care mandate in ObamaCare is unconstitutional, and would open a Pandora's box if not struck down. Newt knows that and has said ObamaCare must go. But in the end, we are left with what to do with freeloaders who milk the system. Newt says those people should pay their own way. Is that not conservative? Does another candidate have a solution, or even acknowledge the problem? I would love to hear it.
Newt proposes patient centered, free market solutions to health care. Listen to the Cain Gingrich debate where he goes into detail. Cain nodded his head and agreed with everything Gingrich said, then asked him to be his vice president.
