Sorry, Bob
I work in Rochester and listen to your radio show all the time- but you are wrong wrong wrong and here’s why:
You said “The agenda was successful, but the man ended up a failure. He was ripped over ethics, and he was turned on by his own as he treated Republicans in the House in a domineering and condescending fashion”
Yes the agenda was successful and THAT IS WHY WE NEED NEWT AGAIN!
The “ethics” he was “ripped” over had to do with liberal democrapy idiocy and a snafu on a document made by an underling. (NOT NEWT HIMSELF- HE ONLY MANNED-UP AND SAID “OK, I AM IN CHARGE SO I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY- HE DID NOT THROW THE UNDERLING UNDER THE BUS)
The democraps leveled more than 80 ethics charges and this was the only pair of their dirty underpants that they got to stick to the wall.
And the Republicans who “turned on him” were RINO’S Who were democraps elected by pretending they were Republicans AFTER Newt was so successful, two years later.
He was in NO WAY a failure - he forced Bill Clinton to balance the budget and reform welfare for cripe’s sake!
Do you remember that Bill Clintons ORIGINAL (first year) budget projections showed $700billion dollar deficits by the year 2000? Newt got that down to 0.
I remember being amazed at low the democrats had to stoop to come up with the charge, especially following on the heels of the Clinton scandals.
