I guess you missed out on the ‘90s Contract with America, 4 balanced budgets, etc.

Newt Gingrich has done more to put Ronald Reagan’s conservative policies into government practice than anyone else presently running for the Republican Party presidential nominee position.

I usually ignore endorsements, as they’re usually quid pro quo arrangements, but Gingrich is now endorsed by Michael Reagan, Art Laffer, and numerous other former Reagan administration officials.

When Newt was in Congress, President George H.W.Bush had decided to announce he would work with the Congress and raise taxes, thus violating his “Read my lips...” promise. Congressman Gingrich wouldn’t support that action. I view Newt’s act as conservative, and not the action of a RINO.

Newt Gingrich is pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment and loves America and understands its citizens. As a historian, he thoroughly knows the U.S. Constitution and our nation’s history.

He allied himself with Ronald Reagan to build the Reagan Coalition, the Religious Right, and the Republican majority (together the Reagan Revolution) which directly led the downfall of the Soviet Union, the Contract with America, government reforms, less government, tax cuts, a balanced budget, and the great, longstanding Reagan economy.

Washington is broken, it doesn’t work the way it is supposed to and Newt said, if elected, he will work to change the way Washington does business.

No one else running as a Republican has done as much for Conservatism in this nation. Gingrich isn’t perfect, but who is?

Yeh he really falls down with all the balanced budgets, welform reform, lowering taxes and creating a million jobs. He just sucks. I wish John Boehner was that crappy of a Speaker.

“Nap through the eighties and nineties didja? Or are you too young to remember? By the way, if he didn’t still have the dagger scars in his back, he probably would have a lot more support from Boner and company. Coincidence Boner is running things now. Hey, wait a minute....could there be a connection?

U.S. House Speaker John Boehner said Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich is a “big thinker” who isn’t necessarily “as conservative as some people think.”

In spite of their “very different styles,” Boehner said he and Gingrich “worked very closely together.” He said the two are “still good friends,” though Boehner said he was unfairly blamed by some other House Republicans for an unsuccessful bid in 1997 to remove Gingrich from his speakership.”

Heh heh heh ... we’ll see, won’t we John?

Of all the things I would expect to see posted about Newt, this would rank as dead last.

Just damn!

Action like welfare reform, reduced taxes and balanced budgets. Yeah, no results. Jeez.

Newt has his weaknesses, but he has results.
