Newt was the force behind Contract with America. That resulted in GOP win after 40 years of losses. Newt helped president Reagan balance budgets and create millions of new jobs, as Speaker of the House.
Does it matter? The fact we should pay attention to is that Newt demonstrated fiscal restraint and squeezed Clinton into spending restraints.
I’m For Santorum.
I love Newt but that’s a bit creepy...don’t you think?
Please read Santorum’s ACTUAL votes and tell me with a straight face he is more conservative than Newt’s actual voting record. Taking Newt’s words out of context is not nearly as important as actual RECORDED VOTES by Santorum.
Newt is NOT convinced the global warming is man made. He is keeping his mind open. The fact is no one knows for sure if man is contributing to increase in global warming.
I was going to post that you are going to be attacked for any reference that Santorum is not “Fiscally” Conservative, too late. But we do know there is a “Fiscally” Conserative in the race that also has an excellant voting record on “Socially” Conservative issues. I also believe Newt is responsible for obama’s drop in the polls because of Newt’s energy policy and obama’s weak responses to him, the White House reduced to saying he lied then having to retract that. Newt is the one we need to beat obama.
Maybe so, but when Newt runs out of money (i.e. when Adelson stops signing the checks), it’ll be all over.
We all know this is how it works, how conservative he is has no bearing on anything.
Yeah, that is some conservative hero right there. LOL
I have no problem if you prefer Santorum. If you prefer a big spending politician who has actual recorded votes to prove that, I can’t stop you. Note that Newt is just as pro-life as any others running.
Nahhhh...it has gravitas. It doesn’t scare real men.
Please read what else was attached to many of Santorum’s actual votes sometime. It would be fairly simple to go back to Newt’s votes as well and cherry pick things that would make him look bad. How many budget items, for example, did he vote for that would not pass his own tests?
Arlen Specter. ‘Nuff said.
No it doesn’t. He has even wrote books in support of GW.
He was only “big” enough to apologize at election time. LOL
Al Sharpton Education tour
‘nuff said.
OK, but please note that Newt has not voted a single dime on man made global warming issues.
Santorum on the other hand has ACTUALLY voted Billions and Billions on liberal issues.
Newt is so brilliant that he never knows until after the fact how wrong he can be.
That pales in comparison to the $$$$$$ Santorum has actually voted to spend on liberal issues.
Dede Scozzafava. ‘Nuff said.
Is’nt there a single big donor funding Santorum’s superpack?
Bridge to Nowhere Saintorum will never be the president of this country.
Heck, his campaign is a Bridge to Nowhere.....
