Newt thinks he's a strategist. He's an idiot, as are most of the big dogs in the Republican party. "Let's compromise our principals so the nuts on the left will like us" seems to be what they are saying, and HAVE been saying. How's that working out for the Republican party? It's about time to clean out the upper ranks of this party and replace them with some real principled people who stand by their beliefs about actual right and wrong, "Liberty and Tyrany" to quote the title of one of the most important books to be penned in the last century. I don't give a damn if a leftist likes me or not! I want candidates who say what they mean, and then DO IT! I have enough faith in my fellow Americans to believe that honest conservatives will WIN. If not, then at least it was presented and voted on. It's about time to find out if the majority of America really wants Carl Marx running the show.
