Much ado about nothing.

Newt has always seemed best as a "behind the scenes" person to me, once he becomes the "party leader" he seems to screw it up.

Oh brother. As bad as some of the republicans are NONE of them come close to the pervert in chief, getting bjs in the oval office, selling secrets to the chicoms and pardoning terrorists.
NONE.

Clinton Republican?

If I joined would it increase my chances of scoring chicks?

[Onelifetogive]

I have always been somewhat favorable disposed toward Newt......but I am always willing to change my opinions based on new facts. (One article is not enough, but is one more piece of a puzzle.)

Thanks to amoral liberal converts from the Democratic Party, the Republicans are a party without any standards or morals.

When you vote in a cartel for the many times you will not get the cream. All said with this corrupt "Two-Party Cartel" Newt is looking good. At least he can put together a statement & deliver it appropriately. I would vote for him for pres if he would put Tancredo as V/P in charge of ILLEGA immigration.

Nothing much new here.

I don't know if I would go as far as to call Newt a Clinton Republican. I think that description would probably be more appropriately applied to McCain or Giuliani, both of whom have equally disreputable and public morality flaws in their past. Newt does, however, have a depressing tendency to fold under pressure and abandon principle in the face of expediency. That is notwithstanding some high-sounding rhetoric from him to the contrary, and is, in itself, enough to cause alarm at the prospect of a Gingrich Presidency.

The author does have a completely valid point, overall. The GOP certainly seems hell-bent on transforming themselves into a clone of the Democrats.

They roll this out every few months before an election because of the legendary Reagan Democrats.

There are no Clinton Republicans, other than those PW rino men whose wives ordered them to vote for hitlary.

[ilgipper]

this makes a lot of sense, because there clearly was a huge internal shift against Newt in that period of time. I always wondered what happened, and this sheds some light on it.

[Democratshavenobrains]

I hope this puts down the myth that Newt Gingrich was some spending hawk. The true spending hawks are never elected to leadership roles.

Oxymoron = Bill Clinton Republicans

Blah blah blah...Republicans are going to Hell, Dims will take over. Cue the "We're doomed!" pic...
