Thanks lonevoice, you added some very important background. Looking back on that time, Dick Armey also paid the price for his disloyalty. It is very interesting to see how Armey in his current position as a Tea Party leader will respond to Newt. He was on Fox this morning and presents the TP as a group of individuals with common values but not as a group who will collectively endorse one candidate. Peeling the onion, Armey did acknowledge that Romney has a difficult time connecting with TP where Newt is a much more natural fit.
This whole Newt story is a real all-American one. It would make a great movie. I am sure the Hollywood moviemakers would rank it way high, almost in the league of Milk, and The American President. /s
You know, it would make a fantastic movie! I'd pay a lot of money to see that one. It's actually a shame we'll never get to see it, but maybe someone will write a book about it someday.
YES, and YOU should write the script!
You're the best articulator of all things Newt on this whole forum.
