Sorry, I missed you on post 90:

Thanks I guess...
In 1999 Newt Gingrich was informed that the Republicans in the House would not support him for re-election as Speaker. Newt resigned the Speakership, and left the House of Representatives.
It doesn’t really surprise me that the party views Newt in an unfavorable light, but I am not convinced it’s because Santorum is most like Romney.
Newt has his own set of problems, and a lot of folks don’t want to face them. That’s fine by me. I’m not going to live my life with my head in the sand when it comes to Newt.
I looked at the report you posted on the forum in the last day or so. Some of it is factual. A fair amount of it isn’t. Some of it was severely skewed to make Santorum look terrible, when his actions were entirely reasoned.
I disagree with some things Santorum has done. I find it interesting and disappointing what he did fifteen to eighteen years ago, but I’m not convinced of its relevance now.
Romney is a no-go for me. Newt is someone I could hold my nose and vote for. Santorum is someone I’m not completely sold on, but I do currently prefer him to the others.
I do not gauge my political beliefs by what Rush thinks. I do not gauge me political beliefs by what the RNC thinks. I do not gauge my political beliefs on what people post on the forum that is non-factual, and focused to destroy someone based on what they did a decade and a half ago.
If someone goes out and makes appearances with Leftists supporting their globalist agenda in the current time frame, I’m going to take note of it.
I am not convinced that Newt is who folks think he is. I would like to view him as others do, but it just doesn’t compute with what I already know about him.
