Amen. This is what my hubby and I are saying here at home.
There is no one else. We are about done.
The problems with Newt were legion....too many marriages, too many affairs, too much baggage, too much fodder, too much drama. Wasn’t Newt the one who sat on the couch with Nancy Pelousy extolling climate change caca? Didn’t Newt whine about not being invited on board Air Force One when Clinton was president? Wasn’t Newt forced out of the Speakership under an ethical cloud? Wasn’t Newt engaged in hos own extramarital affair at the same time he was pursuing the Lewinsky matter? Didn’t one of Newt’s businesses recently file for bankruptcy? Didn’t Newt and Callista take a vacation to the Greek isles in the middle of the presidential primary campaign and a shake up of their own campaign?
Not to say Newt doesn’t have some very fine qualities. He’s great author. He has a keen intellect. A great and witty debator, quick on his feet. A strong historical background. He would make a great professor, a great talk show host, a great author.
Newt after leaving the Congress abandoned Georgia and became a beltway creature much like Rick Santorum. Newt’s liabilities, his lack of discipline precluded him from being a serious presidential candidate. And one could also point to numerous flip flops and lack of ideological discipline as well, but that would take too long.
