I may be a sodpoodle - but I don’t ‘lap up’.

I do try to stay skeptical and civil. Not besotted with Newt - which is a good thing. Too often we project all our aspirations and invest emotions in candidates that are human and flawed.

Elected officials are not our parents, children, spouses or close friends - they are our employees.

I have hired and fired people based on performance - not promises.

Well, quite frankly, I'd say your skepticism could use a bit of overhaul.

Newt is playing the same non-amnesty amnesty game that McCain and Bush played last decade.

I would have more respect for him if he quit trying to parse what he is proposing.

The fact that he is playing the parsing game shows he is up to no good here.
