Anyone attempting to make the case that Newt Gingrich has anything in common with Barack Insane Obama is just nuts. Throwing around the progressive label to do it is just more nutz. Given a choice, and choosing Barack Insane Obama over Mr Gingrich, could be worthy of the label “VILLAGE IDIOT”. JMHO.
You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts.
Newt and Obama are both "big government" guys whether you choose to acknowledge it, or not.
I disagree with Beck's opinion on where Gingrich's love of government solutions would lead us, but given Newt's record of doing 180s on supposed core beliefs, I am far from sure Glenn is mistaken.
