True. Can’t argue with the logic there.

“Leroy is less Conservative and principled than W.”

False and True. Leroy is definitely more conservative than W. But W is more principled than Newt only because W never claimed to be a conservative, as his spending habits proved. And as Rush said many, many times, and was never contradicted by W. Don’t get me wrong, I respect W for many things, especially in the foreign policy sphere.

However, when it came to budgetary discipline, wobbliness on social issues/programs (”No child left behind” and the drug benefit being simply the best examples), and immigration, where he was completely unhelpful to the U.S. and even, in the long run, to Mexico (a little too friendly with Vincente Fox and the corrupt politicians around him), he was little better than a Dem. He was - surprise, surprise! - a Bushie. I well remember “discussing” with George H. W. Bush activists in the 1980 Minnesota caucuses these very kinds of fiscal and social issues. Their positions were not Reaganite, emphatically not Reaganite! W. is his father’s son, a mixture of good and bad.

Interesting, but not surprising.

The Drudge headlines about Newt dissing Reagan 30 years ago seem stupid. 30 years ago Reagan was not universally liked by Republicans and I am certain that Romney somewhere was critical of Reagan too. While Republicans would do well to go back to Reagan's ideals and principles, I don't see how unequivocal adoration of Reagan is a criteria to be the GOP nominee.

I don’t know what the problem is with reporting the truth. Newt is an egotistical, arrogant, morally corrupt, big fat liar. So if Drudge and Ann Coulter et. al., want to report that, what is the big deal?

CALLING ALL KITTY’S MEOW!!!!

I think it’s funny coming from two egotistical, arrogant, morally corrupt, big fat liars, like Drudge and Coulter. I think the both of them should look at the man in the mirror.

Why the crying and fear. Why not organize a concerted prayer vigil before each debate? If you want to save our country.... We need to be smarter and use our God given wisdom against the forces of destruction. There is a debate coming up..... So all of us need to pray for Newt at the same time. Join me and let’s see what those of us will our eyes open can do.

"Leroy is definitely more conservative than W"

I disagree. Based on past actions (rather than current pandering) Leroy and W are, at best, on average, comparable. Leroy takes money from the evil FM/FM, sits on the Global Warming Couch with Nazi (No oil for YOU!) Pelosi, comes out for gov't healthcare, wants the gov't to do all sorts of unnecessary tasks, etc.

Leroy had not been consistently been on the Conservative side.

He’s a logger libertarian. The only political priortity is butt special rights and social engineering power over families (adoption and parents), and control over the sexual development of boys in the schools and in children’s organizations. The ideal is that, through the application of power, we will all be Sandusky abettors for fear of being harmed by the gay mafia in both parties.
