From the day, I don’t remember anything that the full body of Republicans in the House were damanding, that Newt simply refused to go along with.
When the rank and file refuse to return you to that position, there has to be a pretty good reason for it. The reasons I mentioned are the only one’s I can attribute to it.
If you can find some issue or disagreement you can point to specifically, I’d be interested in knowing what it was.
Remember, the rank and file wouldn’t support Trent Lott so it didn’t take much to scare them off.
