Like I said earlier, I don't disagree with the praise you heaped on Newt for his many, important contributions. He was the right man at the right time to lose the hold democrats had on the direction of the country. Lordy, I do remember those glory days!!
To your Re:#30.
As long as it advances conservatism, there is nothing wrong with Newt Gingrich being cunning. Ronald Reagan was a cunning politico too.
Newt being out of power doesn't mean he should sit silent while liberal Republicans like Giuliani and Scwarzenegger, and centrists like Bush and McCain try to convince Republicans their domestic policies/poltiics are right for America. The bottomline should be obvious to ALL conservatives. Newt is still advancing the conservative agenda and his efforts are much more favorable then those associated with the current inside the beltway status quo politics of WashDC.
Unlike Pat Buchanan, Newt Gingrich has been in the center of political power. Maybe its just a personal thing with you, but your remarks are way off base.
