Thinking Newt’s a rino and reveiwing his record on conservativism is two different things....I looked closely at that and why I am for Newt. He isn’t a Rino as some have falsely accused him of.

[lahargis]

I don’t think he is either. I was making a point. So many people here believe he is and the then there goes Cain supporting him. Amazing. Newt is my second choice after Perry. I reallly like him.

He isn’t a Rino as some have falsely accused him of.

He's an untrustworthy weasel who speaks in grandiose adverbial superlatives.

How's that work for ya?

[CajunConservative]

Yep you are right he’s not a rino. He’s a full on progressive.

Then you must have looked at his record with one eye closed.

The parts you missed with that one eye closed are as follows:
1. Supported Global Warming
2. Supported the Individual Mandate.
3. Supports Limited Amnesty
4. Supported TARP
5. Called Ryan's plan "Right-wing Social Engineering"
6. "The Era of Reagan is Over"
7. Supported Comprehensive Immigration Reform
8. Supported the Liberal Scozzafazza over the conservative Doug Hoffman in NY23.

And I know others can add to this list.

Either you are blythly and willfully ignorant of this part of Newt's history, being dishonest, or trying to reinvent or redefine the word conservative, because anyone with list of actions cannot be called conservative.

NOT a huge fan of Newt....but back in 94 he was the MAN.

though his conservatism has gotten much more ‘beltway’(yeah RINO is one word) over the years...he WAS a great conservative back when.

If he is going to cream Bachmann and Santorum in the primaries I feel any conservative has no choice but to back Newt over Mittens....
yes Virginia...there is a difference.

That's true...He's a big business globalist like most of the Republicans in Congress...He'll have what's remaining of our industry in China before his first hundred days are up...

And whatever industry can't leave the country will be filled with illegal alien employees...

There a reason Gingrich was never asked to speak at a Tea Party Rally...

I think that what he did 15 years ago in Congress is one thing and what he has done the last few years is something else entirely. Since 2008 I remeber Newt supporting Scozzafava over Hoffman, calling the Ryan budget right wing social engineering, sitting on a couch with Nancy Pelosi to fight AGW and supporting a health insurance mandate. I don’t know about you, but I would call any Republican who acted that way in the last few years a RINO.

[reaganaut]

I’m not a fan of Newt but he is still a better option than Romney and Perry is a total loser, so I may have to go with Newt. Color me not happy.

However I WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER vote for Mitt. No way in ‘outer darkness’.
