IN JUST ONE WEEK, WE KNOW THESE ABOUT NEWT:
1) He is for Obama’s “payroll” (social security) tax cut extension on LIBERAL grounds that philosophically, you can’t keep Bush tax cuts for the rich and not extend social security tax cuts
2) He is against Romney earning money in the private sector working at a capital firm and equates that to him peddling influence for Fannie/Freddie
3) Takes military option off the table vis-a-vis Iran by claiming a military strike is pure fantasy
4) It comes out that he worships FDR (probably more than God?)
5) He loves Andy Stern the SEIU guy
Did I miss anything else?
6. He says he won’t cheat on Callista
He would be a better president than we have now.
Your list is scary and not the kind of person we need in the Oval office. Newt is not someone I trust .
Why in heaven’s name is any Republican backing this guy? His latest winner—he attacked Romney for making money in the private sector as a venture capitalist who helped launch companies like Staples. Romney, he says, “bankrupted” companies. What we have here is a fatter, nastier version of McCain. He isn’t at all likeable, one of the prerequisites for successful presidential candidates.
