I remember some other things about his leadership. 4% unemployment, a balanced budget, spending at its lowest levels in my lifetime. An economy in great shape. A GOP Congress that actually got Clinton to govern as the most fiscally conservative President in my lifetime.

I’d give anything to see Boehner display even a hint of such “absentee leadership”. At least Newt wasn’t crying and rolling over for Clinton at every opportunity. Even Stephanopolous admits that Newt was about to win the shutdown before Dole cut him off at the knees and negotiated his own deal with Clinton to end it.

Newt was actually on the verge in late 97/early 98 of getting Clinton to reform social security and medicare through privatization, means testing and block grants before the whole Monica issue took over and ended any hopes of cooperation.

Newt’s voting record is pretty much the same as Dick Cheney’s. Is Cheney a progressive? If you look at Newt and Cheney from 1979-1988 when they were both in the House their voting records are virtually identical.

Newt Gingrich had 4 years executive exp running the most fiscally conservative and economically productive House in recent US history in many respects. He ended welfare as we know it and got Bill Clinton to tell the country “the era of Big Govt is over”.

Romney had 4 yrs running one of the most liberal states in the country and his big achievement was creating a new entitlemnt that served as the model for Obamacare.

Rick Santorum’s #1 issue has always been abortion. Mitt Romney would be the most pro-abortion GOP nominee in history. Romney was pro-abortion after Roe, after Casey, after Stenberg. While Rick Santorum was battling Barbara Boxer on the floor over partial birth abortion Romney was telling Planned Parenthood he agreed with Roe, appointing pro choice judges to the MA courts, setting up $50 copays for abortion under Romneycare, and appointing PP board memebers to the MA state health payment board.

Newt meanwhile has a 99.6 lifetime rating from the NRLC.

For Santorum and his supporters to help Romney given his history on abortion is amazing to me.

Thank you for your comments! You are spot on!

Boener needs to get the hell out of the Speakers seat! he is an alcoholic, hence his propensity for weeping at the drop of a hat at any time during the day or night! I do not honestly know who was worse...Stretch Pelosi and her batting those buggy eyes, and adjusting her dentures like a cow with vineers, or Boehner and his alcoholic flush, weeping and blubbering like a damned fool, when he isnt sharing a round of golf and some beer with the Idiotinchief!
