I am guessing most Freepers are too young to be involved in politics in 1994. Or.....they are too old and their memories are not what they used to be :-)
Good point!
I find it amazing, though, that some think that because they don’t know (or don’t remember - yikes!) a pol’s history with the electorate, that history doesn’t exist or doesn’t matter.
I’m not saying Newt’s political history is insurmountable — this IS politics, after all. But dismissing or ignoring it’s potential impact seems unwise.
