Kevin Gutzman's facts are completely wrong and off base. I've read several of Gingrich's books, and his praise for FDR is somewhat truthful, but so is his criticisms.....Gingrich would have been all of 20 years of age during the Goldwater run for the Presidency; so I don't necessarily think he could be faulted for supporting Rockefeller; especially today when Gingrich uses the "Rockefellerian/North-East Corridor/Blue-Bloods" synonymously with the "Pseudo-Intellectual Georgetown Bar Crowd"; and neither term is flattering or endearing.
Gingrich is a Tea Party conservative, has been and still continues to be a "Washington Outsider". Gingrich has supported the flat tax; and was a Reagan conservative.
