"when THEY were forced to resign for unethical behavior."
Wow...I rarely ever post anymore but all this bashing of people who are only pointing out the obviously absolute truth of the pubbies mistakes is really getting hard to take. I seem to recall there being around 72 charges leveled against Newt...and him being aqquitted of EVERY SINGLE ONE of them. wow...the republicans were being democrats. Nothing more...nothing less. Lets not kill the messenger. Paloma_55, I'm not just singling you out. I just need to vent after reading so many comments like yours. I just think it's time we put the blame where it lies. With the republicans for squandering all WE'VE given them because that's exactly what they did. I did my part at the polls btw, but I'll be damned if I'll put anyone down for being fed up enough to stay home. As much as I hate it, the republicans got what they deserve.
One of the reasons the GOP lost is because of Bush's stance on illegals. Those country clubbers who supported him on this issue are now in damage control to reflect the anger somewhere else.
Rant off. Flame away. I'm going to Wal Mart to get some shooting targets. May need the practice before the next 2 years is up.
Here is the deal.
Newt led the Republican Revolution.
For that, I am grateful.
Had he maintained his role as the Speaker and kept the Republicans in line for limited government, conservative social principles and fiscal responsibility, we would not be having this discussion.
He let us down. For that, I am not grateful.
