If you think that was because Newt was too Conservative, I think you've got some explaining to do.
It seems to me that it had more to do with personality conflicts and personal baggage. I believe Newt's advance for his book figured in here.

No, I don't think it was because Newt was necessarily too conservative for them but I do think maybe they couldn't control him like they wanted.

From the day, I don’t remember anything that the full body of Republicans in the House were damanding, that Newt simply refused to go along with.

When the rank and file refuse to return you to that position, there has to be a pretty good reason for it. The reasons I mentioned are the only one’s I can attribute to it.

If you can find some issue or disagreement you can point to specifically, I’d be interested in knowing what it was.
