In the end this is my biggest concern with Newt.
The one issue that I won't compromise on is Pro-Life. Because of that Romney and Cain were eliminated early. If any of the other candidates were nominated I would vote for them over obama. Perry is by far the best conservative running. I can look at his record and reasonably expect that his administration would be conservative. Newt might be transformational, but into what?
Even Jack Abramoff says hes corrupt. And who would know better?
I wouldn't trust what some low life criminal says.
I totally get that but (there's always a 'but', isn't there?) He's already done his term in prison so it's not like he's looking to get a reduced sentence or anything.
