In all of the talk about Newt’s “baggage,” there has never been any charge of assault, domestic abuse, rape, interns, non payment of child support, under age girls, alcohol or drug abuse, might add, no gay lovers or other women coming out of the woodwork.

There has never been any charge like that against Santorum either - including that he's ever been unfaithful to his wife - but that has never stopped for even a second the vicious hate and smear tactics I have seen on FR from the same crowd who would not accept anyone but Palin until they would not except anyone but Cain and now will not accept anybody but Newt even though it is painfully obvious to anyone with the slightest whiff of a brain that Newt will never be popular enough to be elected president of the United States. If you hate the baggage that is constantly brought up about Newt, there's only one person to blame for that - Newt. I'm sorry but that's just the reality. Newt was a great conservative last century. This century, he's not that much different than any of the other candidates still standing - they're all deeply flawed. Deal with it.

Newt and his divorces has not affected me personally. However, Santorum preventing a legitimate trial in the Senate to toss out of office that gutter snipe Clinton sure did have an impact upon my young children.

You want to bash Newt for his sins, well I consider the betrayal of this nation to be a far greater sin.

Gee, it was kind of a positive thread for Newt, with a few exceptions. Just wanted to give a different viewpoint on Newts “baggage.”. I don’t mind the baggage brought up on him, I don’t like it. However, he is so vastly superior to the other candidates, that I can overlook his two former marriages because I love this country. Sure hope Santorum can continue to keep his squeaky clean image, there will be a lot of egg on a lot of kfaces. My problem with Rick, he is not qualified to face the issues in this country.
