You told me to go to Newt.org and that is where I got this info. So we’re suppose to read Newts papers and see his documentaries.....the funny thing about this is Newt is my second choice. I don’t have a big problem with him, only his supporter who want to bully people into thinking THEIR way. Just like the establishment. I have things that are more important to me than money, that is why I chose RIck. This is still the US right?
What’s more important than money, helping reelect Obama by putting up a weak candidate who will lose to him in the debates and be demonized as a lightweight zealot like Christine O’Donnell was? Too bad, it would have been great to have a candidate like Newt in the White House who has a 98.6% pro-life rating and signed a pledge to support an anti-same sex marriage constitutional amendment.
That's up to you. I think we are supposed to realize that Newt has a produced a life's work in thoughts, ideas and policies that is truly a national treasure and without parallel in contemporary politics or history. And we should have a little respect for that.
No one was bullying you, especially not me. I made some statements based on principles, like not stealing another man's work and calling it your own. The ease with which you defended Santorum doing that, and the breezy way you dismissed it, I thought was disrespectful at the least.
For Starters, here are a few of Newt's accomplishment, for starters:

There are no polite words to describe the level of shallowness, ignorance, naivete and self righteousness that literally drips off the statement “there are more important things than money” when said in the context you said them.
Since there are no polite words to use, I want use any words at all.
Dear Linda,
both Romney and Santorum are Globalists. They don’t give a tinker’s damn about your God-given rights. Both men have poltical records that prove that fact.
There exists a video linked here on Free Republic that shows Sen.Santorum on a stage right behind Sen.Arlen Specter as Specter talks about abolishing the Republican Party’s “radical” pro-life plank. Rick Santorum is applauding everything Specter said. It is sickening.
I will send you, via private mail, the transcript of the speech Newt Gingrich gave to Republicans in San Francisco, 26FEB2012. It is his plan to get this country out of debt, energy independent, and become once again a place of freedom. One cannot adequately defend the right to life if one is not at liberty and free of a government tyranny.
