Freeper on Newt

[Narkos]

I've actually been enjoying going on FR...most of those guys are just beside themselves knowing that Romney will ultimately be the candidate. This freeper actually posted a pretty good summary on Newt.
====================
Lets face it Romney is completely unacceptable, but lets look at Newt...

Newt Gingrich is a political chameleon that has inexplicably managed to fool conservatives for 30 years. He is a globalist to the bone and supports every opportunity to erode American sovereignty and the constitution. He disguises his statist positions with an abundance of flip-flopping and pandering as needed. He has a long history of expanding the Federal Government and deficit spending. He is the very definition of an Establishment Insider.
