Newt NEVER lied and his children support him completely. You know, the children by the woman he supposedly dumped while she was "dying" of cancer. Oh, she also supports him.
Newt's not Lincoln, but he masterminded the first Republican control of Congress in 40 years and he stopped the Clinton Socialist agenda in its tracks. He deserves people's respect if not their votes.
After Nixon and Watergate, I didn't believe I would ever see a Republican controlled house in my lifetime. (and there hadn't been one in my lifetime up to THAT point either)
