Gary Edwards on 17 Dec 11Good article on Newt; covers the good, the bad, and the ugly. Personally i don't trust Newt. As former repubican senator Jim Talent of Missouri says, "He's not a reliable and trusted conservative leader". Strangely, Talent supports Romney. And there is nothing conservative about Romney. The one thing i do like about Newt is that he is a bomb thrower extraordinaire. There isn't a Libertarian (moi), conservative, or Constitutional conservative anywhere that wouldn't love to see Newt in the ring with Obama, hammering his Marxist ass without mercy.

Gary Edwards on 17 Dec 11disclosure: I met Cokie and Steve Roberts at an intimate house party in NH. Probably in 1991. Very nice people but they are full blown unionist-socialist-progressives iron bent on the European Socialism model. Not Constitutionalist in any way shape of form. Certainly not Constitutional Capitalist or free market types either.
