I think these pundits are under the assumption that Newt’s supporters are not aware of his issues… we are fully informed but we see Romney as times 10 worse..
Former Senator Jim Talent who is Fellow at CATO and a Romney supporter is one of those insiders. Mark Levin tore apart Talent’s radio spot the other night. In the spot, Talent claims the GOP got rid of Newt because he was unpredictable as a leader. Levin stopped the tape and said, “No, you got rid of Newt because you all were cowards”.
We are all aware of some boners Newt pulled while speaker; however, the moment Newt left the new GOP went on a spending spree. The budget, under the new GOP control, was already projecting to be in deficit before 9-11. This was thanks to the wonderful GOP members who overthrew Newt and assumed leadership. Let’s see the disasters who took over: Tom Delay: Serious ethic charges, but got rid of Newt because of trumped charges….
Lindsey Graham: The group complained that Newt compromised with Clinton, yet Lindsey brought us the gang of 14 AFTER the GOP secured a large senate majority in 2002.
John Boehner. What a disastrous leader. He compromise with Obama before the GOP took control in 2010 and gave us Obama’s new policy on Gays in the military and blew the opportunity to make the Bush tax cuts permanent. He is so busy crying, he can’t see when he is being owned.
Under Denny Hastert, the GOP went on to record spending and government growth. Ear marks and cronyism were the rule, not the exception. In essence, these Morons gave us Obama. Now they want to give us Romney and if we do not support them, we will be responsible for re-electing Obama.(?) What hypocrisy- the people who gave us Obama are going to blame us for his re-election.
What you state here is very true.
Right on, right on! I wish Newt would lay that out in the next debate!
