Your contention that Gingrich is more conservative than W. Bush doesn't quite jibe with fact. While he may be a political conservative, someone who divorces their wife because of an illness she has, and then marries some big chested babe half his age, procludes him from being considered as a social or ideological conservative. Especially since he was removed under such shady circumstances. Gingrich is a disappointment and will never be an active part of the Republican party again because the Christian Conservative majority, which is crutial for anyone to get any nomination, knows him through and through.

Also, I didn't see him putting forward any kind of border control or immigration reform legislation when he was Speaker, so at best, he's AS conservative as W. Bush, not more. And since W. has actually managed to stay married to his first and only wife, be faithful, and not be removed from position because of scandle, I challenge your supposition that Gingrich is more conservative than Bush. The facts do not support that idea.

There are $400 billion deficits and there are balanced budgets. The politics of personal smear don't even rate. W is great on the WOT and I support him wholeheartedly because of it. But domestically, he is a typical country club squish who wants everybody to like him and is willing to spend our money in that vain attempt.
