“Newt can talk a great game but in practice he allows his ego to run his positions.”

Can you please post an example of this? I'm not trying to be argumentative. I truly want to know. I have heard talking heads say it but I want to know why they say it.

Newt’s desire to be the center of attention and at the same time appeal to leftists that push the anamorphic position on carbon dioxide is the one I can’t get around. Like all politicians he wants to be loved, even by the other side. When you sit beside Nancy Pelosi and preach to the rest of us about using coal, gas and other fossil fuels you are either delusional or calculating. In my opinion Newt is calculating and looking for a little love from the eco-fanatics. In other words it’s ego driven.

Another example would be his slander of Bain Capital. I don’t think he really believes the attacks he made. It was just another attempt to gain attention.
