This is the most information I’ve seen on Newt. It’s a keeper and should be spread far and near, especially to the doubters.
Most people don't know or understand what he is really trying to do, when all they see is distorted headlines or hear incomplete information from biased third parties.
For example, Newt is often accused of being a "big government progressive," yet this line tells a lot about his "small government" conservatism, and his pragmatic approach to thinking and testing different ways of actually implementing the ideas:
"It was very much, 'Do these ideas work or not work?' " said Chris Littleton, who attended the session as head of the Ohio Liberty Council, a conservative activist group. "He was clearly trying to formulate a platform." < snip > ..... Mr. Gingrich tossed out ideas for revamping the Environmental Protection Agency, replacing it with a joint venture between business and government that would make sure environmental regulations don't stifle job creation. He also proposed getting the private sector to help slash regulations across other federal departments.
Remember that it was Gingrich Revolution that made Clinton announce in 1995 (after suffering massive defeat in 1994 Congressional elections) "The era of Big Government is over." Yet since Gingrich left Congress in 1999, we saw nothing but growth of government, under Republican Congress and Senate and under Republican President.
