I see a lot of pictures with Newt and Clinton as well.

Santorum wasn’t in office when Reagan was President — he was first elected in 1991, halfway through Bush’s presidency. So why would there be pictures of him with Reagan? It’s like saying you don’t see pictures of Sarah Palin with Reagan.

The fact is that Santorum was a republican member the house when Nancy Reagan said that the Reagan passed the torch to the republican members of the house. Reports are that even Nancy Reagan herself has pointed this out.

I wouldn’t use that quote if I were a Newt supporter, because it just reminds people of how Newt tends to overplay HIS role in things, and seek individual glory.

Nancy Reagan 1995: ‘Ronnie turned that torch over to Newt’

1995 Goldwater Institute Dinner honoring President Ronald Reagan: “The dramatic movement of 1995 is an outgrowth of a much earlier crusade that goes back half a century. Barry Goldwater handed the torch to Ronnie, and in turn Ronnie turned that torch over to Newt and the Republican members of Congress to keep that dream alive” - Nancy Reagan

Of course, and why not?

Newt led the charge in the legislative elections - under president Clinton administration - in 1994, when the Republicans won, for the FIRST time in 40 years, both the House AND the Senate majority.
As Speaker of the House, Newt had to work with the president in place, so no wonder you can see those photos.

What’s amazing is that you’re carping about it.
