It’s revealing to me where he thinks he is and where he thinks the party comes from.
“Newt doesn’t support an individual mandate—in 2005 he explained support for a variation of it”
So what you are saying is that he was for it before he came out against it. I believe the parlance is ‘flip flop.’
“And you still gave me zero evidence that Newt has ever supported federally funded abortion.”
We don’t compromise with the enemy. And we certainly don’t hamstring efforts to nuke O-Care by saying that you want to keep parts of it. What that does is embolden the enemy, because if you give up part of what you have then the enemy has more then they began.
Newt, if he supports O-Care or any part of it, is not worthy of my support. Even Paul gets this. Wacked out Ron Paul knows you cannot compromise, reach around the aisle, support the consensus with O-Care. You nuke it into oblivion.
When Newt gets this, then maybe I’ll support him. But as it is, it’s a flip flop because it’s hurting him seriously and he knows it. You only flip flop when you realize that your old views are costing us votes.
So tomorrow, maybe Newt will make peace with the Pelosi again, and support parts of O-care (making sure to keep funding for abortion stays), and trim around the edges. Sounds like vintage Newt to me.
