That post was meaningless and nothing but a tantrum with absolutely no intellectual heft whatsoever.
The guy has a 45 year career and you pull out a part time gig for a few years as your defining point? Totally meaningless.
I don’t know why you don’t want everyone to speak. You want everyone’s vote for Newt, what’s wrong with everyone having their say?
Yeah, the guy has a 45 year career, in Washington, he’s no outsider. There were a lot of people wishing to heck that just once, we could get around using one of the good ole boys.
Better to let people here talk about that little “job” he had .. you’re not gonna keep the MSM from talking about it if he gets the nod.
I respect Jim, but that does not mean I will vote that way because he told me to. Gee, let people voice their opinions. I certainly remember you voicing yours.
Whether you think Santorum, Bachmann, Paul or Perry have a chance is not what’s important. They have great views and their supporters have a right to say what they like about Newt and what they don’t.
I haven’t made up my mind yet and I can tell ya that Gov. Branstad was pointing to possible upset .. but that probably doesn’t matter either.
He played the Washington, DC insiders game and was trading on his past as Speaker of the House. He was hired to give Freddie Mac advice on how to keep Congress as a financial ally. Newt was basically there for his advice to clients on how to start new businesses to get more Federal dollars.
What is a more valid consideration than a candidate’s most extensive background and history of ethics violations ?
Gingrich was the first Speaker ever to be overthrown on ethics changes turned lobbyist consumed by greed and graft who then lied about it. You seriously can’t make this up. Enriched himself on Freddie Mac political graft no less.
The temperament of a hypocrite and a spoiled brat running on a big government platform just seems to be icing on the cake for some folks.
Your supercilious dismissal of erlayman’s post doesn’t hide the fact that “you can’t handle the truth.”
