You know, you blast Newt every chance you get.... I beginning to think its personal with you. You offer up opinion and projection as facts but refuse to deal with the real issues. Who do YOU think is the leader America needs for the next eight years?
Newt is a born teacher. That's good in some lines of work, but when running for the presidency, that is a disaster waiting to happen: he over-talks, over-explains, and opens himself up to major gaffes. (Remember the "whither on the vine" comment? That was just one example of what he would do every week on the campaign trail.)
Did or did not Newt have to resign as Speaker of the house because it was determined that he was having sex with his secretary. Newt did not admit to his transgression in his resignation but both his fellow house members and the media reported the reason. It is unbelievable that an innocent man would resign his Speakership and refuse to refute charges against him that were not true.
If all you have to do to get Newt to Resign as Speaker is accuse him of sexual acts he did not do, then such a man is totally unqualified to be President. What kind of man would resign his job when accused of an act of which he is innocent? I would say it would be a coward easily driven to do what any accuser demands.
If on the other hand Newt is guilty as charged then a man who as Speaker of the House risked his and the nation's future to satisfy his own sexual appetite does not deserve to be president any more than Bill Clinton deserves to be president.
Every thing in Newt Gingrich's past says he can't stop himself from hitting on females other than his wives.
Does anyone with a brain think that the Republicans in the house and senate would fail to impeach and convict President Newt for having sex with a government worker?
Democrats defended Clinton. Republicans did not. Democrats and Republicans would vote to impeach and convict Newt.
Anyone with having observed what FOLEY did and what Republicans did in response knows what would happen to Newt. It is impossible for a president to keep almost anything quiet. The media knew of Monica long before it was revealed. Had it not been for Drudge, Monica would have never made the news.
But only a fool would think the media would keep Newts sexual escapades quiet. His would be revealed in a heart beat. .. or perhaps 45 days before the 2010 election. That would ensure a Democratic victory in 2010.
Does anyone besides you believe that Newt would keep his zipper zipped? You must think like the members of the media who did not reveal what Clinton had done as Governor. They all knew abuot it. But they kept telling themselves that there was no way Clinton would be dumb enough to do the same things as president. We all know he did.
We know that both Clinton and Gingrich have achieved high office. We all know that neither one of them let high office keep them from engaging in illicit sex.
It does not matter what are the major problems facing the nation. All it takes is a pretty woman to meet a Newt and have sex with him while in the employee of an enemy nation. Newt is suddenly owned by that foreign nation.
Of course the media would love to break that story.. and there are plenty of people in the CIA who would leak it to the media.
We can not take that risk. It would a far more dangerous to our nation than having any other politician in the White House.
