“Not the Contract for America-— in fact that propelled him to the leadership. He resigned before being kicked out due to his questionable ethics.”
So tell me exactly why his ethics were suddenly so much more questionable?
After the Contract with America? Which fundamentally threatened the DC power structure?
Of course there’s a connection...in the absence of such a move...his “ethics” were quite constructive to DC’s ends.
In fact...all that happened to him in that setting tells the world exactly HOW DC continues to grow despite the intent of We the People. Congress critters’ ethical lapses are routinely leveraged to DC’s ends.
You are not yet quite cynical enough, grasshopper...
Newt is a CLinton style politian. He is slick and bendable. He is changeable with the winds. I will vote for anyone but the dufus in the white house currently. I do not have to do so in the primary season and will work against the likes of Newt and Mitt
