I had credit card info. stolen on one card and only knew it when the credit card people called me and said purchases had been made in Paris, France, and some other country, don't remember which, for thousands of dollars and they thought that couldn't be me and rejected the charges and issued me another card. I was stunned to get that call.

The thing is, I seldom used that card, hadn't used it for many months, and the only charge on it recently at that time, was buying a cup from Newt Gingrich’s website. The card went from buying that cup to overseas purchases by someone. I'm glad I used that card I hardly used, instead of my main one which I pay off every month.

So, your card numbers can be stolen by just buying a small item on the web. It could be that Newt's website didn't have the proper safety “equipment” on it to prevent the stealing of numbers.

For personal contact, I do now have that special case to put cards in so the numbers can't be sucked off by a magnetic whatever by someone when I go to the grocery or other store. They can be sucked off from inside your purse. My cards are safe in the metal holder. These holders are cheap so if you don't have one, think about it. I got mine from Amazon.

All people were children at one time - what happens to make them criminals? Well, the mental reasons for that are numerous, but if a person is smart enough to get your numbers, they are smart enough to know they are criminals and stealing money and I wouldn't care if they were put in prison for life.

Maybe Newt has a new mistress, and he's trying to hide it from Candace.

You're too easy on them. I would have the worst of them publicly executed.
