Newt is VERY gracious toward Santorum in this interview
******************
Newt’s always been very gracious to him.
I suspect Newt has a hard time working up any interest in attacking fellow Republicans, even the average RINO. Newt is a guy who spent decades trying to build up and strengthen the Republican party so I don’t think he has any taste for intra-party fighting. Romney is just such an extreme liberal and a liar to boot that he finds it easier to make an exception in his case. Not to mention, Rick was someone who was mentored by Newt and was a reliable junior partner on Newt’s legislation in the ‘90s. Romney was the guy who refused to sign the Contract with America in 1994.
