“Okay, I’m not a Gingrich fan but I think many on FR are being a little silly towards him. He is not a RINO, that is just a stupid thing to say.
He has thirty-five years of a political career to look at. He was a very conservative Congressman from Georgia for a very long time. They don’t elect RINOS. He destroyed Jim Wright, RINOS don’t do that. He along with many others orchestrated the first Republican House majority since Eisenhower, and replaced Bob Michael who was a RINO.
He helped along with Phil Gramm and Bob Walker and others to pass the Reagan economic program in the 1980s. It was Gingrich that began to use Congressional television to nightly present the Conservative message to the country. He was very much responsible for balanced budgets, welfare reform, tax reform etc. while in the House.
Does he have baggage? Sure, but doesn’t Cain and Perry?
This is going to come down to a choice between Gingrich and Romney and to say they are both RINOs is idiotic for one thing and sitting out the election because of that belief dooms our nation to huge deficits, double digit unemployment and weak foreign policy. A high price to pay for the search for the perfect Conservative candidate, a bar that not even Ronald Reagan could have met.
It is time to direct our fire on the real enemy of the country Barry Hussein Obama”
100% correct. Newt was leading the conservative charge when Perry was still a democrat, Cain was making pizzas, and Romney was doing nothing in politics.
Except that when Newt was pushing for individual health care mandates (as he is now) Cain was going toe to toe with bill Clinton. Interesting, huh?
