I agree. Too many of us lazily nod our heads and start playing along with the negative memes that the left promotes for each of our candidates. But I believe this is true with Gingrich as well. If I had a buck for every time someone mentioned Newt's "baggage" without actually saying what that baggage is or why it means you couldn't vote for him over Obama, I'd be rich indeed.

I have yet to see someone claim that Gingrich’s “baggage” would make them choose Obama over him (well, unless they’re already a Democrat or Moderate, of course), but expecting everyone to list that baggage is silly. It’s significant, and the pile is getting added to weekly.
It’s funny how those who felt that the children of illegals should be penalized for attending a Texas college and ruled Perry out of consideration on that basis alone, now excuse Gingrich for taking essentially the same tack on illegals even though the pile of baggage that supposed “sin” is added to is ten times as high as Perry’s pile. And that’s just this week’s example.
Remember his reaction to the Ryan plan? Remember the photo op with Nancy Pelosi. Hell, even if that hadn’t been a photo op supporting global warming spending, it would have been bad enough, but it was just that. And there’s plenty more where that comes from. He’s crony capitalism incarnate, for starters, and that is the number one problem this country faces right now, whether people realize it or not.
If you’re not doing the fleecing, you’re among the sheep being sheared, so ask yourself: Have you fleeced anyone lately? If not, say Baaa! (And Gingrich has fleeced several million dollars over the past decade, by the way...Baaa!...yes, from me too...and I don’t like it one bit.) But I’ll still vote for him over Obama, if it comes down to that unfortunate choice.
