With Newt I am faced with a dilemma. I want to like him but he keeps making it difficult for me. It is clear to me that he is soft on illegal immigration. Also I once read a comparison of him with Bill Clinton, both policy wonks and bad managers.
But then I face the “on the other hand.” He has the best debating skills on the stage (as long as he controls himself.)
He is also the only candidate (as far as I can tell) who seems to have some passion about doing something about the judicial dictatorship that afflicts us.And he is the only one who has made an issue about the persecution of Christians in the Middle East. (The last Christian church in Afghanistan was demolished last year - under the “protection” of American troops.)
So I’m in a wait and see mode.
Even more concern I have than Newt’s amnesty stand is his statements on global warming. Newt is on record favoring action to counter global warming = higher taxes!
But then I face the “on the other hand.” He has the best debating skills on the stage (as long as he controls himself.)
I also have a problem with a police force to try to keep the aliens out of this country, when it was our social ( socialist )system which are bringing them here in the first place.
Needles to say no one is going to fix the welfare system because it has become part of America in its travel to socialism.
I truly believe in helping people but this rose garden stuff is ridicules.
So i guess i would have to say if they want to stay and work fine, but no more more welfare, and the same to the young Americans.
So i suppose what i will do is just vote against the one i think is the most socialist.
And i will admit that if an illegal alien comes along and wants to bring America back to what it was meant to be, that is a country governed by a free people and stop socialism they will have my vote, as i can ignore the constitution as good as the lefty socialists can.
