I see through all that. Rick is much more genuine that Newt. The only difference between the flip-flopping of Romney and Newt is that Newt is a better speaker and better at covering his tracks. I don’t buy any of it.
I mean, now the phony was trying to take credit for Reagan’s 45 & 49 state landslides. Give me a break. He was a backbencher in the early 80’s as Mark Levin pointed out. Now he’s pretending to take credit for all the ideas the Tea Party has been pushing since 2010, even though he opposed the ideals of the Tea Party just prior to running for President?
I swear, if Bill Clinton himself started talking conservative statements, there’d be idiots here willing to foget his entire past and crown him king of conservatism too /sarc.
You're either clueless or a liar. Newt was anything but a backbencher. It's been described by Reagan's staff recently how Newt was recognized as a major, rare talent early on and given a high and prominent role in the party far beyond what his status of seniority would afford him. He was intimately involved in drafting the 1984 platform for one thing. And Newt didn't take credit for anything. By your logic, no team member can ever take credit for helping out in a team effort because they didn't do THE WHOLE THING themselves.
Newt did NOT oppose the ideals of the Tea Party! He lent his support to the Tea Party before Glenn Beck, he came up with the "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" theme in 2008, and he defended Sarah Palin

Gingrich’s ties to the tea party movement are deep and long-lasting.
In March 2009, when tea parties were just beginning to be organized, the Georgian pledged to use his prodigious mailing list at American Solutions to publicize the inaugural Tax Day event.
He posted a link on every website he owned, sent emails to everyone in his database and produced a video while publicly announcing his support of the tea party movement — long before radio talkers like Glenn Beck jumped on the bandwagon.
