Today the big news attack against Newt is coming directly from the GOP establishment. An impatient, young Congressman Newt obviously felt that the Reagan admin was being too over cautious and moving way too slow in its battle against communism in 3rd world countries like Nicaragua. Mr Abrams does admit, though, that Newt "voted with the President regularly". And I have to believe that Reagan must have had some fondness for Newt in a grandfatherly way.
I do believe this account by Mr Abrams. Newt continues to have that "impatience" although its now tempered with age. More mature and controlled. But its still there and millions of middle Americans share that frustration and impatience with Newt. If we are an exceptional nation, why don't we start conducting ourselves as such? Why do we continue to kowtow to world opinion and world governing bodies?
It'd be fun to get some discussion going about this. Please feel free to comment.
