Here's what a former President says about Gingrich...
"Gingrich is emerging because “he thinks about this stuff all the time.”
“He’s articulate and he tries to think of a conservative version of an idea that will solve a legitimate problem,”
I watched the national security debate last night. And Newt said two things that would make an independent voter say, ‘Well, I gotta consider that.’
"I think he’s doing well just because he’s thinking, and people are hungry for ideas that make some sense.”
Bill Clinton Praises Old Foe Newt Gingrich
These praises for Gingrich came from Bill Clinton, whose presidency was saved when Gingrich forced Clinton to tack to the right, and the economic results speak for themselves. By any economic measure (unemployment, GDP, tax revenue base, drops in welfare),those policies were a smashing success.
Gingrich grew the economy by reducing spending and taxes. Obama has added trillions to our debt, and what do we have to show for it? Higher unemployment than what he started with. All his worshippers like Spence can do, is say that even though things are worse now than when he took office, that things would be EVEN WORSE had he not done what he did. You cannot prove the validity of something that didi nothappen, so this is a convenient strategy for the liberals.
