Honestly? Yes, I think Gingrich would, because Gingrich -- for all his flaws -- gets the Constitution, Gingrich is capable of saying "I blew it, I made a mistake" (as in Global Warming hooey), and as someone else pointed out on another thread, Gingrich certainly did more to actually advance and implement the Reagan revolution than any other candidate in the race.
Reagan said that if the candidate agrees with you 75 or 80 percent of the time, go for it. I don't even see Romney at 5 percent, so he flunks that test with a capital F; Romney has never admitted he was wrong about anything, he has a PROVEN TRACK RECORD of advanding government at every turn, and with it advancing an amoral liberal social agenda.
Gingrich -- he passes, maybe with a C-, but he passes, and he's got a PROVEN TRACK RECORD of advancing things that seriously helped make a better America in the vision of Reagan.
Good grief -- if ever the old saying "Don't let the perfect make an enemy of the good" made sense, it's now.
Well said. Hope Rush is reading your posts ;)
Another example for conversational sake, suppose that you make an honest mistake on your tax return. By the time you get notified of the mistake, it is a couple of years later, and you get slammed with a 40% penalty. There's nothing fair about that. Why haven't the Republicans been trying to reform the powers of the IRS? It's because they don't care and won't do anything unless the abuses get enough national attention.
