Thank God! Last thing the GOP needed was Newt in the mix. He is best at articulating issues, explaining their history and pressing issues forward. As a candidate, unfortunately, he carries way too much baggage.
“..too much baggage.”
As opposed to that LUGGAGE RACK Hillary!
Please understand I do NOT wish to fight with you. But your response...that bit about way too much baggage, is almost knee-jerk when it comes to Newt. And I hear it a lot so it’s not just you.
I wonder why?
So okay Newt got a divorce somewhere back. I also heard that he told his wife about the divorce while she lay on her death bed or some such.
so what?
Rudy’s got three marriages under his belt, one with his mistress of yore. That kind of thinking means nothing anymore. And that bit about telling her on the death bed, if there’s any truth to it, which I doubt as, come on....I just know that story has caveats to it we don’t know. Frankly it sounds just like a Clintonian smear.
As to all the hoopla over this Newt candidacy, or lack of same, I really think Newt was blackmailing somebody. And I think that somebody was Fred Thompson.
Which is all speculation on my part, please understand. But if Newt had thrown in and requested money over the Internet he would have really put a hurting on Fred.
Now as to why Newt was blackmailing somebody, I think he’s looking for a VP slot. I’m thinking he wants a VP slot with Fred Thompson. What a pair those two would make, huh? I can see that duo leading to a Republican presidency for the next 16 years.
And if that Newt so-called “baggage” really exists what better way to throw it off than having been a VP for 8 years?
I think Fred Thompson would not commit to Newt as VP and Newt was pulling out the stops. Newt’s not going to sit this election out is how I see it. Either Fred took him or he was gonna run.
Well hey it’s a year to the damn elections, we gotta amuse ourself someway. We’ll know if I’m right if Fred picks Newt as his VP.
I’m just saying ...
