Newt properly observes that mittens must be vetted to ensure the republican nominee doesn't get trashed in the General Election.

This is true for _anyone_ we put up there and with consideration to _after_ the election as well as before... to include Newt himself.

They provide a link for "answering the attacks" which I used to submit the following:

The response in your 'answers' to Newt's overwhelming adoration of FDR and W. Wilson is insulting at best.
Listening to statements Newt has made makes it perfectly clear that Newt's admiration for FDR was NOT simply for his involvement in WWII. It was for FDR's 'effectiveness' in accomplishing what real conservatives have known to be and have had validated to date as a continuation of the U.S. government's inexorable push toward communism.
I want to believe Newt has repudiated large intrusive government and affirm a return to Constitutional original premises.

The fact that he's promoting an "Environmental Solutions Agency" isn't encouraging and becomes even less encouraging as he explains it. There is just no such animal as a federal agency that "cooperates with the states and is limited in scope".

Gingrich’s list of energy policies includes providing incentives for flex fuel vehicles that can use corn-based ethanol rather than gasoline — a key issue for Iowa’s farm economy.

Newt Gingrich proposes abolishing EPA (and replacing it with another agency

And, no I don't care that virtually all the other candidates have also supported subsidies, that doesn't make it right

As far as I am concerned, Newt forfeited all credibility by talking about “ethical” capitalism, as though buying and shutting down dying businesses is not “ethical.” He obviously either does not have a clue what capitalism is, or he is willing to prostitute himself to get votes.

Who would Newt like to lock-up?

Ronald Reagan too praised FDR, saying that “like the Founding Fathers before him, F.D.R. was an American giant."

Did you miss this part of your post?

Haha that’s a good sense of humor.

Gingrich was the single most vetted Republican ever, prior to Governor Palin’s emergence upon the scene in 2008.

Newt’s been good and vetted.

Like nobody else.

That’s why I like him.

[WFTR]

Dr. Gingrich isn’t a bad guy, but he’s not the hyper-conservative that many Freepers want to pretend that he is. He’s no more conservative than Mitt Romney, but both of them are conservative enough to be good presidents. Of the two, I believe that Mr. Romney would be more effective. Newt Gingrich has problems leading teams for any length of time.

RE :” I think it only fair that we also work ourselves into a tizzy over some of Gingrich’s past comments — to wit, his repeated praise of big-government glorifier Franklin Delano Roosevelt, his warm words for Service Employees International Union head Andy Stern and his claim that he is a “Realpolitik Wilsonian.”
Two videos, both via The Blaze. In the first, Gingrich raves about FDR — over and over again. In the second, he proclaims himself a Wilsonian. In context, the latter doesn’t seem quite as concerning as the former, but some undertone still strikes me as ominous.”
Gingrich on numerous past occasions: FDR was the greatest president of the 20th century

Every five minutes Newt claims he is a Reagan conservative. It's very annoying.

Climate Depot on Gingrich's Global Warming Views: Newt never left Pelosi's love seat!

[RasterMaster]

How easily Newt supporters can dismiss his “mistakes” (cozing up on Natzi Pelosi’s couch and promoting Gorebull warming, kissing up to Hitlery Clinton, re-education tour with the race-baiting poverty pimp Al Sharpton). Newt has been properly vetted. He shows that he’s for sale to the LIEberal “progressive” causes if the price is right.
