Best evidence Newt Gingrich is a big government Republican? He loves to praise FDR


I’ve been arguing for about a week that Newt Gingrich is a horrible choice for GOP nominee not because of the personal baggage he brings, but because he’s the type of guy who loves to manage or very likely increase the size of big government. That’s what makes him a Richard Nixon GOPer instead of Ronald Reagan.

The Blaze asks Is Gingrich a “progressive” in any real sense? Beck would argue yes. Many parts of me would scream no. I do know that Gingrich is likely capable to debate the next two points to great effect.

But evaluate on your own.

A video tip provides us this montage of Gingrich describing his high esteem for Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Over and over again:


We need to cut the size of government and Gingrich cannot be trusted to do that.

Memeorandum
