Pah. All of the candidates have flaws. What is important is figuring out which flaws are telling about a candidate and which ones are not. Newt has become an absolute creature of the Beltway, feasting at its corrupt trough And his affairs to me show a man with no sense of restraint to fulfill his desires - they are quite telling.
Perry at least understands the 10th Amendment, Newt appears to have no comprehension of the concept that there should be Constitutional limits enforced on federal power. Once again, Newt projects an image of not having a sense of self-restraint.
So since both have raised the specter of humanity in dealing with illegal immigrants, Perry wins the nod when compared to Newt IMO.
Newt is the last of my anti-Romney choices (excepting Paul and Huntsman, of course). I don't see him being the type of candidate we need to alter how the Beltway works. Santorum is also Beltway-addled. To me, the only candidates that understand the Tea leaves are Perry, Cain and Bachmann.
You have a reading comprehension issue, pinhead. How did you make the leap from "All candidates have flaws." to "We should ignore all of a candidates past history." Why do think all three of your candidates are languishing near the bottom of the pack, when they once led? No-one can meet your standards...
