He was my congressman and he betray me personally. I'm not talking about just his cheating - it is much more than that.
//-------------------------------//
I closed by telling him to just go the hell away.

It is the fact that Georgia 6th resoundingly reelected him and he was to feckless to take his seat. Any Democrat will stand and fight but our little House Gnome ran away like a weak little sissy.

To top it off, he even fled the State altogether to live in the Washington Suburbs the past 10 years, yet still has the chutzpa to come back to Buckhead to announce his Presidential campaign.

This intellectual cretin should be a pariah to any thinking Conservative!

I would vote for Satan rather than Urkel.

Do you think Ayers and Alinsky are running?

Oh geez... It’s gonna be a circus. Only Giuliani could be worse. And not by much.

The risk to conservatives is that there are going to be so many candidates on the economic right (Palin, Bachman, Pawlenty)and social right (Santorum, Huckabee), that it will be difficult for any one of these to coalesce that support early enough to stave off the big money machines of Gingrich, Romney and Trump (shudder). It’s too bad they don’t have the luxury of a mini-primary to choose one voice for conservatives who could take on the big money establishment.

TRUE conservative Herman Cain is having a mega event in Atlanta on May 21st to announce his run IN PERSON to his supporters. Centennial Olympic Park. High Noon.

You’re right, and Sarah rocks; she’s playing this beautifully.

Sarah’s VP candidate performance was phenomenal, her two subsequent books speak volumes about her sterling judgement and character ... and her proven forte is “From the Heart” public acceptance.

Say it's between Romney and Gingrich for the nomination. Who do you vote for? I'll say this: I'm never voting Romney!

I replied back to one of his money grabbing GOP e-mails that was sent to me to stay home...I sure hope he got it.

I lived in his district for years and he never got my vote then (just on the basis of general arrogant attitude) and he won’t get it now. I used to leave the Congressional Representative line blank.

The Pelosi PSA and the Schifozza NY 23 business were enough for me.

He and Nancy on that bench look like a couple of retirement community clowns who have the hots for each other and need to go get a room.

Lucky for me, I live in Iowa, so I'll have more than two to choose from!

Obviously the whole "to/two/too" thing got lost somewhere, haha.

I will not vote for Gingrich. I would’ve voted for him in 1996 when he SHOULD have run...but I was only 6 at the time and therefore could only vote twice for Democrats in Chicago.

I would trust Newt over Bill Clinton anytime. Atleast Newt sacrificed his marriage over love for his country. Clinton sent troops to eastern Europe.

Is it correct that Newt buys into the global warming line?

Has he made any alterations of that view and his ‘solutions’ since the obvious cooling trends and low sunspots of the last couple years?

Well he certainly did in 2007.

He has backpedaled a little, but stops short of admitting it was a mistake.

The one upside is that even with a RINO, the chance of left wing majority in the SCOTUS is reduced ...somewhat. But it may no longer simply be a question of what party controls the executive branch. In the long run, both parties are in the same leaky boat.
