Look at their accomplishments. Newt 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, long-standing Reagan economy.
Romney, on the other hand, vehemently denied Ronald Reagan and aligned himself with Ted Kennedy and the left. Romney accomplished installing liberal big government programs, defended and promoted Roe v Wade and legalized abortion as “settled law,” advocated and implemented RomneyCare with its liberty killing government mandates against formerly free citizens and its taxpayer funded or subsidized and mandated abortion procedures. He ran and governed to the left of Ted Kennedy on the “gay agenda” resulting in gay marriage in Massachusetts. He appointed liberal judges and liberal appointees throughout his government. Under his “leadership” conservatism and the Republican party was all but destroyed in Massachusetts.
Romney is one evil liberal progressive. No way in hell will MittBots be allowed to support this abortionist, big government, socialist scumbag on FR!
Guess my message isn’t clear enough. I have to keep repeating it and zotting would be MittBots.

I give credit to Newt for supporting Reagan's domestic policy initiatives. However, Newt was clueless about the nature, strength, and wisdom of Reagan's multi-faceted attack on the Soviet Union. At the same time that Newt was calling Reagan's foreign policies “pathetic” and an abysmal failure,” we were arming the mujaheddin in Afghanistan, orchestrating an increase in oil production to lower prices, and luring the Soviets into an unwinnable arms race. I'd say that worked out pretty well for our side, despite Newt's nay saying at the time.
