Newt was my congressman for all of the years he was in the Congress. Newt was a good and faithful soldier that led his party to many victories as a purist in ideas. I remember when Newt promised that he would hold President Clinton to his words and deeds and that he would speak out every time he could.....'holding Clinton's feet to the fires' so to speak for each time Clinton hit the 'moral' skids.

Well, now, guess what happened then.....Newt did NOTHING because it would be a case of the pot calling the kettle black. It turns out that Newt was just another politician getting something on the side.

He lost ALL credibility and he has lost my trust. I personally wouldn't vote for him to be dog catcher.

Ideas (good ones) mean nothing if you don't back them up with deeds......

You sound like a jilted lover. You state his promises and then explain why he couldn't keep them. Yet, you still blast him like a woman seeking alimony.

It wasn't about the affair. Can we stop making it out like Clinton was on trial for adultery?!

When Clinton was governor He asked Paula Jones to give him oral sex. She refused. And she was fired.

That's sexual harassment. That's real deal sexual harassment.

She tried getting her case to trial over and over again, but Clinton pulled strings to make it nearly impossible for her.

Newt did not fire anyone for not peforming oral sex. And he was wise to keep his mouth shut because the media was clearly making the trial out to be an adultery trial by focusing on Monica.
Clinton was not on trial for adultery.
Where Monica Lewinsky came in was that to prove a Sexual Harassment case Paula Jones had to prove someone else who did perform sexual favors benefited in their career from doing so.

Newt was never charged with sexual harassment.

The 1998 Congressional "campaign" was one of the worst-run campaigns in modern history. Newt's flat refusal to discuss the only thing any Republican wanted to hear about - what he planned to do about Clinton's crimes - guaranteed abysmal turnout amongst the grassroots.

Let's not forget that the Democrats gained five seats that year under a lame-duck President who had already been accussed of adultery, perjury and obstruction.
