Dole’s little crack about the empty ice bucket was a symbol of frugality. Newt honored someone for saving wasted tax money and hoped that it could inspire more cost-saving ideas. British politicians tranitionally sat on wool to remind them of wool’s importance. Such a quaint tradition most likely went far to help bring Britain’s greatness.
I’ve never been a big fan of Newt because he was always dipping his toe in the old media’s pool. He’s a schemer, obviously. But I also believe he’s a well intended statesman. It’s too bad he isn’t tougher on the borders, but we’ve lost that issue in this primary.
Newt is far from a saint, he is frightening the hell out of the progressive marxists the RINOs and the state-run-media.
They have banded together to defeat Newt.
He must be onto something, Newt has my wife and my vote.
