So you're telling me Newt was not forced to resign in shame because he got caught with his pecker in the wrong woman?
I think it's your memory that's failing. And one thing you know for sure in DC, if somebody has one sex scandal you can garauntee that's not their only scandal, that tends to be why people resign when their first scandal gets caught, they know the hounds on their trail and things are about to get ugly.
Was it illegal? No!
Was it unseemly? IMHO, yes! I remember all the energy that Rush and other conservatives spent supporting Newt. As I saw it, it reeked of Animal Farm. Later, these were the same folks bitching about Bill & Hillary's book advances.
Newt is obviously a very smart man, but I don't see him as our nominee in 08. To beat Hillary, we're going to have to do better than that. Thankfully, we have at least two years to let this sort out.
In the meantime, how about keeping the fires stoked on our elected representatives TO START ACTING LIKE THEY ARE IN THE DAMN MAJORITY!!!!!!!!!!
Ladies and Gents in Washington, start doing what you were elected to do, and 2006 and 2008 will take care of themselves.
Today would have been a great day to unfurl a plan to reform the tax code. Instead, Frist is waffling over the constitutional option on judges.
With all the great folks that lurk and post on Free Republic, you'd think that the RNC or Rove would pay more attention. I know, silly me, we're amateurs, good only for campaign money and votes.
