Santorum is a much better conservative than Newt is.

No he's not. They are both about 90% conservative and 10% liberal.

Gingrich was conservative in the 80s, and most of the 90s.

Make the list of conservative issues in this decade, and list where Gingrich was on those issues in this decade, and he’s not much of a conservative. For TARP. For letting illegal immigrants stay in the country. For medicare prescription drug program. For carbon trading. For government solutions to global warming. For DeDe Scozafosa. Thought Ryan’s budget was right-wing social engineering.

Or the past three weeks. Criticized TWICE by the Club For Growthm, first for attacking Bain Capital, and then for claiming that people who invest their hard-earned money are “making money for no work”.

Most of FR knew in May that Gingrich wasn’t very conservative anymore. Now it’s all different.

And anyone who doesn't understand that the means by which the "general welfare" is to be promoted is nothing other than the Constitution is not a conservative.
