I think our question is whether you are willing to take a chainsaw to government, not whether you support larger government.
In March 1989, Gingrich became the House Minority Whip in a close election against Edward Rell Madigan. This was Gingrich’s first formal position of power within the Republican party. He stated his intention to “build a much more aggressive, activist party.”
Seconded.
I worry that Gingrich’s commitment to smaller government will end when he discovers the most singularly important issue of our times, whatever that might be.
