While I reluctantly support Newt at the moment, I will never forget how he gave Cain cover to knock Perry out.
In the real world Perry is the only one actually getting shit done and getting in Obamas face.
but he had a gardasil moment, and he single handedly took my wallet to give an illegal a college education /s
Yeah...but I remember thinking after Nixon's resignation that we would never, EVER, see a Republican majority in the House in my lifetime. Newt lead that charge. (Though it would not have been possible without Reagan taking the bad taste of Republicans out of the mouths of the brainwashed public, so credit is duly noted)
I have read many of his books (including those with Alvin & Heidi Toffler) and think his ideas exciting. I would have hoped he would have gotten good administrators (like Perry) to come to DC and help him implement them.
