Newt is also pushing amnesty using the rationale that we can't deport them. Newt is a legend in his own mind. He thinks he has a giant intellect. Newt is part of the problem, not the solution. How the hell did we get into our current state of bankruptcy and lack of an energy program? The political/ruling class that Newt is a member of has failed this nation. They would rather play Santa Claus and get reelected than make the hard decisions to save the country.
And I won't even describe Newt's lack of character in his personal life.
IMHO that glaring lack of character in his "personal life" simply illustrates his total lack of character in all of his life, particularly including his political life. In the political world he's done the same thing to his former suppoters and admirers, of whom I am definitely one, that he did to his two former wives.
When he gave his immediate post-announcement inteview to Hannity, I posted a commdent that essentialy said everything he said was great, except for the fact that he was the one saying it; however, given his glaring lack of character, there was no way anyone could tell if he really meant it or was just being a grifter. Turns out he was just being the Newt the Grifter that he's always been.
