Newt is way out of line with this. I was ready to hold my nose and support him. Not anymore.

This was an OPINION, not a statement of purpose. The Chief Executive has no power to start firing judges.

Of course. Stream of consciousness thought to make the listener think and to demonstrate the absurdity of the court’s power now.

Too many around here cannot (or will not) tell the difference between the two. They are shallow thinkers looking for reasons NOT to support candidates, and they micro analyze sound bytes or quotes looking for such. Thus, they’ll always gravitate towards monolithic repetitive clones instead of free thinkers. They’ll never “get” Newt, but they’ll isolate a few quotes and swear that they do.

They also act like every idea or opinon (like Cain’s 999) will suddenly be thrust upon us if we dare nominate that person. Really shallow and out of context analysis by sooooo many.

So the opinions of the President have no impact on his worldview or policies or the nation?

If the President is of the opinion that Communism is the greatest political system ever devised, but does not make that a statement of purpose, that’s okay with you?

Yeah, but it was Newt's opinion -- candidate for president of the United States. He's running for the office, not writing some obscure college opinion piece. This is just what most of us have been waiting for from him.

Verbal diarrhea.

I understand well that in politics you sometimes have to compromise your principles with political realism. With all the FReepers supporting Newt, all I can say is that there's a whole lot of compromisin' goin' on out there.
