Is Newt really a Conservative?

Many Republicans are embracing Newt Gingrich as the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney in this primary season. In answer to those people conservative researcher Steve Baldwin cites the following:

"Newt Gingrich is a political chameleon that has inexplicably managed to fool conservatives for 30 years. He is a globalist to the bone and supports every opportunity to erode American sovereignty and the constitution. He disguises his statist positions with an abundance of flip-flopping and pandering as needed. He has a long history of expanding the Federal Government and deficit spending. He is the very definition of an Establishment Insider."

Here are a few examples that Baldwin cites to support his position:

• Voted for NAFTA, a blatant circumvention of Congress’ exclusive power to regulate commerce with foreign nations.
• Supported the National Endowment for the Arts.
• Voted for the creation of the Federal Dept. of Education in 1979 under Jimmy Carter.
• In one year (1994-1995) Gingrich voted for nearly $45 billion in foreign aid.
• He’s a paid lobbyist for Federal ethanol subsidies.
• Supported spending $30B for the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 that shackled gun owners with new restrictions, federalized a number of crimes, and handed the feds police powers that the Constitution reserves to the states.
• Voted to give billions of dollars to United Nations “peacekeeping” operations.
• He cheated on one of his wives while she was suffering from cancer, delivered divorce papers to her in the hospital.
• He blames his infidelity to multiple wives on his passion for the country.
• He was paid $300,000 by Freddie Mac to halt Congress from bringing necessary reform.
