Newt was one of my uncle's history professors at West Georgia back in the 70s. Uncle Wayne didn't much care for Dr. Gingrich on a personal level.

Social conservatories are still looking for a strong Republican candidate. Obama has set himself up for defeat, just like Carter did when Regan crushed him. That's the problem I see with this election. Carter was an incumbent President in a recession and Regan destroyed him in the election.

Obama is an incumbent President in a recession type economy and he is about tied with all the Republican candidates. That spells trouble.

Take notice that Newt is now the media's darling, they even have Bill Clinton singing his praises. At the same time they are throwing everything they have at Cain to discredit him. I think they are scared to death of Cain. As soon as he is out of the way and a candidate is chosen the media will turn on him like a pack of wolves in a meat market. Remember how much they loved John "The Maverick" McCain until he was the opponent of the Kenyan?

The problem here is a complete lack of any common sense. He is tied or leading the republican candidates. For the life of me I don't understand what these people see in him as a president. I'm of the show me mentality. So show me one positive thing he has done for the country.

Another mans opinion on Newt!
The Big Story, By Joe Conason

Did Big Pharma Hire Gingrich To Back George W. Bush's Medicare Drug Bill?


To look closely at Newt Gingrich is to see a failed statesman who pocketed tens of millions of dollars by exploiting his political celebrity and government connections over the past decade or so. Although the former Speaker never registered as a lobbyist, the corporations that financed his "for-profit" think-tank and his consulting firm weren't simply dazzled by his intellect.

But Gingrich's buckraking may not be as troubling to GOP voters as what he helped his corporate masters to achieve on Capitol Hill. Having taken large fees from major drug companies as well as PhRMA, the industry lobbying group, he now stands accused -- by conservatives -- of pushing the Bush administration's Medicare drug benefit, a measure often denounced by the Republican right whose support he is now courting.

I would say at the moment he is supporting the "Payroll Tax Holiday". Middle-class families could face an average of $1,000 tax increase if the tax cut expires on schedule at the end of the year.

If Jack is against him, it's good enough for me!

Do you remember that Newt wanted everyone who made more than $50,000 per year to have health insurance or post a large bond. Sounds a lot ike universal health care.
Newt also supported and worked towards carbon caps. Sounds a lot like our Presidents agendas to me.
How can anyone respect a man who leaves his terminally ill wife for a younger woman???

Amen! If there is any doubt he will be casting another vote for that pos Obama then I have a bridge to sell you.

The rest of what you said is true, but the part of him leaving the wife as you stated has been proven false. His own daughter has support his stance on this.

Do you have a link????

What I heard that wasn't true was that he gave her divorce papers on her death bed.

I just want to say that the 'terminally ill' woman that wanted a divorce from Newt did not die. She is still alive.

Thomcat, I see you only have three posts so I assume you are new. If that is the case then I'll let you know how we operate around here. We are talking politics and there are liberals in the conversation. When this is the case then facts are not allowed since that disrupts their political agenda and their feelings get hurt.

Don't let it happen again or else we will be forced to put in in Aldeer timeout.

Just saw a poll out this morning for Florida, actually Newt is 3rd against obama. Rommney 1st Paul 2nd.

Jawbone, sarcasm in truth tickles my toes. Nice to meet you, Buddy. WarEagle.

We will also pull your man card with any talk of "tickled toes".

NG comes with a lot of baggage and would most likely get beat in the general...I am for Ron Paul and or anybody else that runs against BO because he stinks!

Is this the same wife he was married to when he violated his oath to be faithful to her?
