What does that have to do with Newt co-sponsoring VAWA? Note that he didn’t merely vote for that freedom-robbing legislation, he CO-SPONSORED it.
You choose to ignore Newt’s repeated progressive words and deeds but I will not. He has repeatedly stated that FDR, not Reagan was the best 20th century president and possibly the best-ever president. If you want another FDR, go ahead and vote for Newt.
Ron? Michele? Is that you?

*Freedom-robbing*???????????????????
Any man (or woman) who physically beats, rapes or terrorizes anyone, a spouse, child or stranger should be prosecuted. For decades, abused wives were held captive in violent marriages - it was the ‘secret’ that families kept; out of embarassment or helplessness.
