Newt is a complete repudiation of everything the tea party stands for.

Right.

If he is so great, why didn't he jump to the front when he first announced his candidacy in May?

Nah. He only got there by default. Is that how the GOP gets their nominees? After 2008, it may be.

Good point. In fact I would ask many of his current supporters what they were saying about him then. If it has changed, why?

Good ethical government begins with us and if we don't hold firm to our principles, we'd be idiots to think our government will.
