Just wondering, but how much did any of those mentioned in the article do for conservatism after Newt left? Did the Republican party become more or less conservative in congress? Seems to me they went way “country club” after he left.

Did you read “conservatives” were unhappy with Newt in that article? YES! it’s there. Make Newt lemonade all you want, and dump a lot of sugar in it, to make it palatable.

Wow, for me this is the post of the week and needs repeating.

I'm old enough to remember when Newt was in power. He brought us a Republican congress, balanced budget, welfare reform and many other accomplishments - all while Clinton was president.

If he is such a RHINO, one worlder, big goverment guy, why did the liberals drum him out of office with phony ethics charges?

What Republican in congress since Newt left has accomplished more for conservatives? Tom Delay? John Boehner, Denny Hastert? Those are the clowns who gave us bloated government and out of control spending that eventually led to Reid, Pelosi, and Obama in power.

I'll take Newt over that crowd any day!
