Thanks, I watched the interview - at least the parts where Newt speaks. While I can’t find the link on Drudge now to his original link to the NRO article, Newt’s explanation on the video linked here does present a different aspect (i.e., do the American people want more of the last 8 years, or growth into addressing problems (like drugs) that continually plague us).
I agree. His discussion here is not an accusation or indictment of Reagan or his policies. I would like to look link back to where NRO’s article takes its main points from, though, but don’t see it now.
Regardless, there is enough doubt here that Drudge should retract, or link to the full context. If he is not willing to present the whole story, once aware of it, then he is in the tank for someone (Romney) other than Newt.
