"I went to a Goldwater organizing session in 1964. I met with Ronald Reagan for the first time in 1974. I worked with Jack Kemp, and Art Laffer and others to develop supply side economics in the late '70s. I helped Governor Reagan become President Reagan. I helped pass the Reagan economic program and worked with the National Security Council on issues including the collapse of the Soviet Empire," Newt Gingrich said at tonight's debate.

This guy is scum, he tries to be everything to everybody
Technically, he didn't say he supported Goldwater, he just said he attended an organizing session. Obviously he was trying to mislead people by getting people to think he supported Goldwater without actually lying.
As far as I'm concerned, he probably attended the meeting and went, "Small government? Individual liberty? Freedom?! I can't let this guy get anywhere near the White House! Time to join Team Rockefeller."
