We do that all the time....use rational discernment to judge people, and of course, no one is perfect. It would be a miracle to have a candidate we agree with 100% of the time, about policy and strategy.
BUT, there is a HUGE difference here.
Newt and friends, all USE our deadly enemies in the press to WORK against us, agitate hate against us, ALL for self aggrandizement. For good press, for any press.
They are simply traitors, and cannot be trusted in the propaganda battle, they sell us out to the public on TV daily.
IMO, Newt is a useless idiot in this war.
Look, Newt is the kinda guy who deserts a wife who has cancer. Nothing/nobody lower than that.
But before that he created the Contract for America,nothing better than that!
So what do you do with a guy like this? He's beyond me.
