Newt was a hypocrite then to rail against Clinton for infidelity, but that was years ago and he was humbled by his loss of his position as speaker, reputation etc. Gingrich has made the point himself saying his perspective is different now, he's a grandfather, he's older etc, it makes sense.Honestly, who here has not made a mistake? Learned from it and moved on?

You're always saying that they've learned their lesson. After the 2008 election cycle, you said that the Republicans had learned their lesson. They were done with NeoConservatism. Gingrich is one of the leaders of the modern NeoConservative movement--an individual labeled a 'RINO' by many hardcore R's. 'New' Newt is just as spendy and hawkish as 'old' Newt; a throwback to 1994 and the policies that helped shape this financial meltdown. Clearly, Team R has not learned it's lessons, and Gingrich hasn't either. I'm not falling for it this time.

Reverting to old policy is not change. And adherence to the failed doctrine of 90's-style NeoConservatism does not offer me an improvement over Obama. I already have failure, either show me something new or don't get my vote.
