Newt has a proven RECORD. Don't know about you, but I consider the Contract With America and pushing job creation, a balance budget and welfare reform as quite a stark contrast with Obama. I like Newt's flat tax plan, would prefer a fair tax, but gotta start somewhere. I love the way he would stand up to the extremist activist judiciary and push Congress to oppeal Obamacare, and he would! The thing is I have no doubt Newt can get it done. Santorum, not so much. The E would accept Santorum because he's "safe," he can be controlled and not rock the boat too much. Newt has proven accomplishments and has proven that he can get real things done, even with Bill Clinton who has an ego about the size of or bigger than Obama. What proven accomplishments does Santorum have? Seriously, you're not comparing Santorum's accomplishments with Newt's? LOL.

Actually, no...I'm not comparing Newt and Santorum. I'm comparing Newt and DUmocrats:

It all sounds good untill you dig a little deeper than Newt's talking points pushed from his campaign.

He certainly has accomplished alot...moving the ball for the progressive agenda. He co-sponsored the Global Warming Prevention Act of 1989, supported “Cap and Trade”, lobbied for ethanol subsidies, and wants to expand and rebrand the EPA. He supported NAFTA, GATT, the IMF, foreign aid, TARP, voted for increasing the debt ceiling many times, and earmarks SPIKED under his “leadership”.

He’s a BIG GOVERNMENT guy...not a fiscal conservative. Newt calls the Paul Ryan budget plan "right wing social engineering". He supported spending $30B for the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 that shackled gun owners with new restrictions, federalized a number of crimes, and handed the feds police powers that the Constitution reserves to the states.

Newt cosponsored the 1987 Fairness Doctrine (anti 1st Amendment legislation) and voted for the anti-gun Brady Campaign’s Lautenberg Gun Ban. He want amnesty for illegals, props up Al Sharpton and Hitlery Clinton and sings the praises of his mentor, Slick Willie.

He has cozied up with the leftist agenda far too many times to be considered having the conservative record he claims. What's "conservative" about that?
