Here is why what is happening to Newt is happening to Newt.

Note to Newt:

You really should not try to lie your way out of marital disaster.

You really should not claim Reagan's mantel when opposed to much of his presidency.

You really should not claim the Soviet collapse when I had as much to do with that, as you did.

You really should not claim to be anti-Big Government when you voted for the Department of Education


You really should not claim to be a Reagan small government conservative when you see FDR as this nation's greatest president.
