Pollard is a traitor
I support Israel with the best of them but Gingrich is scooping near the bottom. Soon, very soon, he’s going to demand we move our embassy to Jerusalem.
Why even take up issues like this ? Good Lord stop shooting yourselves with these idiotic questions
Wrong answer, Newt.
Most don’t realize that Pollard WAS, in fact, paid, and that he ALSO spied for freaking *PAKISTAN*.
Oh sure, he was soooome patriot, yup, uh-huh.
Well that seals it —I am NOT voting 4 Gingrich.
Keep talking Newt.....hopefully you will talk your way out of this farce that is your coronation. Bachmann 2012.
Newt is a disaster.
There goes Newt again. Popping off an unnecessary idiotic comment and kicking his own self in the butt. He is incapable of keeping his mouth shut. Any fool thing that flirts in comes out the mouth.
Regardless of what ANYONE thinks of Pollard, this should never, ever, ever be discussed as part of a presidential election. Never.
wvcon...12/8/11, Welcome to Free Republic.
OMG. Newt has again jumped the shark.
No it shouldn't.
The following is the text of Henry Kissingers letter to President Obama:
March 3, 2011
The Honorable Barack Obama
President of the United States
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. President:
I would have written this letter sooner but for a long trip abroad, from which I have just returned. While I was gone, I gave much thought to the question of clemency for Jonathan Pollard. At first I felt I did not have enough information to render a reasoned and just opinion. But having talked with George Shultz and read the statements of former CIA Director Woolsey, former Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman DeConcini, former Defense Secretary Weinberger, former Attorney General Mukasey and others whose judgments and first-hand knowledge I respect, I find their unanimous support for clemency compelling.
I believe justice would be served by commuting the remainder of Pollards sentence of life imprisonment.
Respectfully yours,
Henry A. Kissinger
What is Newt smoking?..
Has he been to Mexifornia lately?..
After allowing thoughts like “Hey Newt ain’t so bad” to insinuate themselves into my mind over the last few weeks, I started to come to my senses a day or two ago, first when Ramesh Ponnuru skillfully brought me back to the reality of Newt’s ego-show as Speaker, and what it augers for a Newt presidency, then when I saw him kissing the ring (and other body parts) of the “You’re Fired” guy from New York, and now when he adopts a coy, and typically Newtishly self-interested, defense of a traitor.
I can’t vote for Newt. I don’t like him. I never did. He doesn’t represent me. As president, at any given time, any manner of outlandish flights of fancy might overtake him, and soon he’d be holding the country hostage to the rarefied conceits of his “superior” mind.

The US should consider that it is cheaper to execute him than to keep him incommunicado for however many decades his life drags on, as those are the only two rational options.
Newt is definitely unbelievable.
Just when I figure I can somewhat back him, he comes out with another ridiculous statement about something that has nothing to do with the mission at hand.
Don’t we call this pandering for votes?
I do want him to run his mouth etc but in the right circumstances, pushing the right buttons.
The only thing I have against Pollard and Walker is that they are still being fed and sustained by us.
Don’t misread that to mean I think they should be released.
