Newt is not electable because of the sorry state of the old media and the rabid democrat leadership.
They went after him after he lead the revolution in 1994 on trumped up baloney charges which I did not understand then and do not remember now. Should he run it will be their wet dream come true. They will ignore what he says, his intelligence, leadership and destroy him once again.
OTH, the past of the Beast is never questioned. Considering the fact that the old media genuflects at the whisper of her very name, her negatives are still high, a true witch which cannot be elected despite a fawning old media.
Tom Delay's book describes the corrosive nature of modern rat politics when their GOP opponents are not merely defeated, their personal lives and finances are destroyed.

There are many things wrong with printing ballots--and most other stuff --in several languages. Near the top of that list should be the cost to the taxpayer who pays to have all these ballots printed up.

In a recent poll 50% of the electorate said they wouldn't vote for Hillary under any circumstances...the dems are hell bent on putting up Hilary for election. So what the hey. Why not put up Newt? 'Cuz nobody'll get elected!
Wait..and this is bad, why?

Newt is absolutely right on this one, ballots should be in English only.
1- To vote you must be a citizen.
2- To be a citizen you must demostrate some ability to use English.
3- Therefore, if you cannot read a simple ballot in English, you are most likely not a citizen.

Dang right.
If someone can't read and write English, what are the odds of their being an informed voter?

I thought he was saying "Newtclear"
To: Jacquerie
"Should he run it will be their wet dream come true. They will ignore what he says, his intelligence, leadership and destroy him once again."And like the last time he ran, he'd no doubt resign as soon as he was elected, leaving the folks who voted for him in the lurch once again.
I was one of those folks who voted for him, and I swore that @sshole would never fool me again.

He lost me on "Nooclear"If you're going to criticize Bush for his pronunciation, it's only fair that you be brought up on charges for your spelling. It's "nucular."
This is series.

To: basil
exactly, basil. imagine the money that would be saved if ballots, drivers licenses and other government correspondence were printed ONLY in English. Why should my tax dollars pay because someone doesn't want to learn the language of the country they HAVE CHOSEN to live in...?
"the language of living in a ghetto" ????????? WTF is that? Okay... so... if I speak in a different language other than English... I live in a ghetto??? Umm... no... I have a Master's and and have mastered 3 languages BTW. I am far from "ghetto"!
Stupid old white men... when will you learn?

Someone who gets it, thanks!
THAT is the reason I can't support Newt for office. I love the guy, I've a bucket load of respect for his strengths. But, the first time the going gets rough, what's he gonna' do?

I am sorry you are "sooooo sick". As a recovering hippie, you should go back on whatever it was you were on. It isn't a pretty picture here now, if you are just sobering up. Wait another generation of two. As you are would have been aware (if sober) hippies sent the last generation off track & we are reaping the effects now. The rest of us don't need to recover, unfortunately we have a headache anyway.

I am for closing our Borders!and yes, I am critical of Bush for this, yet, I reserve my anger for Congress for not moving on this..all previous presidents did even LESS than Bush with our borders.
I just don't see any reason for Bush "bashing". Criticism yes, but "garbage collector"? that I can see on the Dem sites.
