I'm not sure I believe that. You're always singing his praises... As I recall you've mentioned crap like he and the Republican Congress keeping spending under control during the Clinton presidency.
I'm going to guess you voted for Joe Lieberman, and against Richard Blumenthal. Hopefully you'll have some good fiscally conservative Republicans running for the senate in CT to vote for next time. You know, people who want to get rid of wastefull programs like Planned Parenthood which spends so much taxpayer money murdering babies.
Perhaps you missed my nuance, wd. I said that Clinton and the Republican Congress (led by Gingrich) each held the other in check AND, in many instances, worked well together.......I voted for Liebermann in '94 (I voted for Weicker in '88) and 2000 (twice, once for VP and once for the Senate). In 2006, I voted for Ned LaMont because of Liebermann's hawkishness on the Iraq War. In 2010, I voted for the independent candidate (this, in that I didn't like the way that Blumenthal "misspoke" on Vietnam).......You obviously don't know much about CT politics - Connecticut, where Democrats are old style Democrats.....and so are the Republicans. I wouldn't worry about us sending a person to D.C. who would cut P.P..
Mr. Gingrich (obnoxiousness aside) was actually a very effective legislator. But that, folks, was 15-16 years ago. Since then, he has obviously devolved into one of the more mean-spirited individuals in the country....I kind of like what former President Carter said, "The Gingrich of even 10 years ago would be disgusted by what the Gingrich of today is saying."
"people who want to get rid of wastefull programs like Planned Parenthood which spends so much taxpayer money murdering babies."
Well, that is the main mission of Planned Parenthood. They are quite hostile to children.
However, it is a non-government organization, and will survive fine without wasting tax money on it.
So cutting off the handouts won't "get rid of it". The same with NPR. Get government funding out of that too. It is corrupting and a complete waste to have official government-approved news.
I think we need to amp up funding for Planned Parenthood and NPR. And I believe we should repeal the Hyde amendment. Poor women need access to legal abortion services as much as rich women... even though is not the main mission of Planned Parenthood. Perhaps you intended for that not to be a factual statement?

Probably none.
Newt-vs-Obama likely gets a Donald Duck from me, or a pass.
