No thanks, Newt.
You had your chance and failed.
You were bought off by the same people who own the GOPe.
RE: You had your chance and failed.
Newt was by all accounts the most successful speaker in a generation.
We had our first BUDGET SURPLUS as far as I could remember when Newt was Speaker.
And even if the surplus was questionable (as many would argue), the deficit was still close to manageable compared to what we have after his tenure as speaker.
He persisted and FORCED Bill Clinton to sign many of the bills the slick one initially refused to pass ( e.g. Welfare Reform ).
