    I am not fan of Newt by any means but he deserves credit for his welfare reform when it had 60% of the people on welfare started attending school or got a job.

    Bottom line is if corporate welfare and personal welfare abuses are to be stopped, if you want out of two wars, if you want the border secured, if you want the dollar to mean something, if you want to follow the Constitution, and if you want this country to turn around; there is only one man for the job.

    And it isn't Newt.

    Most of you should know that Americans are forgiving people. Just look at Bill Clinton. The man lied under Oath and lost his liscence to practice law.Not to mention He lied to us on National TV. And he's still held in high regards by many people.I realize that none of you are running for president or have ever held any kind of public office,but how many of you have done something in your life that you were ashamed of or regretted ? We are all humans and Humans make mistakes. ? the media will make him out to be a terrible person and so will all the Obama sycophants but i think most Americans,logical thinking ones that is would be willing to look past his marital problems.
    But he is a terrible person. Here's the thing that always bothered me about political office in general, Democrat, Republican, Independent, Christian, Atheist, Kennedy, Clinton, Bush, Obama...whatever: If you can't even stay true to the vows and commitment you made to your wife/husband how can you be trusted to commit to something as important as power? If your "significant" other can't even trust you, how can the people you represent? I'm not naive, I know that people are attracted to power and affairs happen all the time but I still think its a serious issue and credibility problem. Its way more than just a character flaw. I understand people make mistakes, but this is guy had at least one affair, (possibly 2, allegedly while one wife had cancer). His credibility is shot in my eyes and like Donald Trump, I can't believe that Americans would even remotely entertain the idea of voting for these clowns. I'm still amazed at the lack of credible, worthy candidates from both sides throughout the years, that represent this great country! Ugh. Ok, back to the Porch.
    P.S. I would just like to add in case people think I'm some Democrat, that I think that whole Clinton affair was a debacle for the entire government, and an embarrassment for America. An affair, an intern, hypocrites, a witch hunt, a meaningless impeachment, a huge waste of money, time and attention? Check all. Everybody looked like an amateur on that disaster.

    So he's already flip flopped on the first week. First being for an individual mandate and saying Ryan's plan was too extreme ("Social engineering from the right or left are both undesireable") to backtracking from those comments not even a week later.

    Good start.

    i read an article today at work that said conservatives are not supporting him like he thought they would and he is having a hard time getting donations for his campaign....not a great start. talk about stumbling out of the blocks...

    he wouldn't win anyway once the stories get out of him serving his wife divorce papers while she was in the hospital, and that while he was leading the charge to impeach clinton he was carrying on his own extramarital affair...

    Speaking as one of his former constituents, I must say that if Newt gets elected President, I will be moving to Canada. I REALLY cannot stand that man. He is like, the Jedi Master of Unabashed Hypocrisy In Action.

    However, on the plus side, if I move to Canada, I apparently will have a greater likelihood of seeing a Pearl Jam show before I frakkin' DIE. :lol:

    Greatest. Press. Release. Ever.

    The literati sent out their minions to do their bidding. Washington cannot tolerate threats from outsiders who might disrupt their comfortable world. The firefight started when the cowardly sensed weakness. They fired timidly at first, then the sheep not wanting to be dropped from the establishment's cocktail party invite list unloaded their entire clip, firing without taking aim their distortions and falsehoods. Now they are left exposed by their bylines and handles. But surely they had killed him off. This is the way it always worked. A lesser person could not have survived the first few minutes of the onslaught. But out of the billowing smoke and dust of tweets and trivia emerged Gingrich, once again ready to lead those who won't be intimated by the political elite and are ready to take on the challenges America faces.
