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.
And a whole lot of ignorance of the Constitution going on in here.
Of course, the Constitution isn't taught in the schools anymore, but Socialism is. And there aren't many people who take the time for independent study and research - and so, we have posts like yours.
