The Newtbots love to parade out his 12% apostasy. That makes about as much sense as calling Newt a radical socialist because of his global warming kissy face commercials with Nancy Pelosi, denunciation of Paul Ryan's proposals as "right-wing social engineering" and other such examples.
Interestingly, Santorum's apostasy examples are overwhelmingly concentrated in the early part of his congressional career whereas Newt's are overwhelmingly concentrated in the part of his career after he left congress.
So the trend is the friend of Santorum, but not of Gingrich.
Meaningless statistics when they vote 6 times on the same socialist issue by voting against it 5 times and then voting for passing the bill the 6th time. He is a fiscal socialist who and a pork-baron.
Or you could sat that Newt’s “indiscretions” occurred as a private citizen, while Rick’s happened in office.
