Newt and the Governing Class

That kind of an opening was enough to catch my eye.  But Bachmann is out there saying Newt is not the outsider.  People seem not to like him and he is said to be blunt.  Bluntness doesn't bother me, particularly if he is telling off these guys in Washington DC.  Somebody has got to do it.

I did find something interesting in the comments section which mentions an Ann Coulter column, so I read it.  Now, that's Ann Coulter and Glenn Beck who are anti Newt.   Ann mentioned some stuff that was so off the wall that it is a source of concern about Gingrich.

There's two sides to a story.  Gingrich got some good ratings from Conservatives who provide that info, although I can't site it here because I didn't make a note of it.  At the time he was Speaker, the Congress was pretty conservative and held Clinton in check.   After his party forced him out, they lost control of the spending, lost Congress, and opened the door for Obama.

So it is surprising to read that he is not really a conservative.  I do remember Limbaugh saying it though.    The truth may well be that he isn't that conservative, but how conservative is he really?
