Newt’s past transgressions are history.He can't keep a wedding vow to his multiple wives, but I should trust him?I can already see Obama bragging of his long-standing marriage to Michelle.
The jewelry he bought Calista was paid for with HIS own money..that is his business.
I never said otherwise. I said that he has held the opinion that the federal government has the power to make me purchase it for him, though. How so, you may ask? If he is of the opinion that the federal government has the power to force me to purchase health insurance, it can force me to buy anything it wants me to buy. This man wants to be president of the Republican party?
His answer regarding Ryan is very explicit..have you read it or heard it? it is crystal clear.
He sure was doing a lot of apologizing for those comments that were so apparently crystal clear. He was tripping over himself to get on talk radio to spin away those comments.
Shall we go into his hissy fits made after traveling with President Clinton on Air Force One? He got off the plane and made a b-line to the press to bitch that Clinton had refused to talk to him. It took the White House no time to release this photo, which made Newt look like a whiny little brat.
Newt’s past transgressions are history.
It’s never the case in politics, people will smear you with your past acts, regardless of how long ago they were. Obama can already boast of only marrying Michelle. He can also emphasize that Newt has close to nothing in substance past his words to pro-family causes. If transgressions were history, Cain wouldn’t be charged with anything. In politics, they have no limit as to how deep they will dig on you.

Some things may very well have been bought with his own money, however, he didn’t stand up to charges of corruption, rather he paid off 300,000 and resigned from being Speaker of the House. Not facing up or standing trial to a charge, regardless of whether or not you truly are guilty, raises suspicion of guilt. Obama will, unless he is more foolish than I give him credit for, mention the fact that Newt didn’t face up to the charges, and is likely guilty for ethics violations because he didn’t accept a trial for it, but paid off instead. Obama will also hammer Newt with the fact that Newt should have shown up with nothing to fear if he was innocent, or how should a man who can’t man up to his own charges, and not take responsibility, be placed in a position to veto or sign bills which incur costs on America. If there’s anything Obama does do, he can sling mud. He did it in Chicago, he danced on John McCain, and he can do it on Gingrich, especially for his reckless fiscal behavior, and especially because he can make the demoralizing statement that we selected a man who had three marriages, about a decade or two a pop, and is probably about to start number four. I do love and accept Gingrich’s repentance as a fellow human being, but I do not need to condone him through my vote, to a higher office than he has previously held, when his tendencies for holding political power are terrible, he just doesn’t belong in the oval office. As for corruption, and a bonus to add, he accepted money 1.8 million from Fannie Mae, which raises questions about how willing he could be to face up to whatever is corrupt. Anyways, my concern now is more for congress, just because the presidency is practically screwed.
