Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. For someone who wants to draft Newt, I wouldn't be so quick to throw out the 11th commandment. I recommend you read up on the history of the 1964 Presidential election to see why it still has importance.

There is nothing wrong with bringing up important issues for your preferred candidate, but slamming a candidates wife certainly is in violation of the 11th commandment. Oddly, I have a feeling that many FReepers would rather have Hillary be President than to ever compromise even the smallest amount. And if they have the folly to ignore the 11th commandment, I think they might just get their wish.

Newt has lots of baggage. He's also right on the issues. While I was yet to be born in 1964 and the so-called 11th commandment was yet to be enunciated, based on what I do know of that election I have serious doubts that defeat can be laid at the feet of a destructive Republican primary. Or is the the point that Goldwater should not have been nominated?

In any case, Giuliani's personal life has left him open to these attacks, as I noted not initiated by this website. I want Hillary defeated as much as anyone, but I want her defeated by a candidate that won't destroy the conservative movement in the process.
