Last time I checked it was not against the law to go on an expensive vacation.

What does that have to do with anything?

You completely miss the point this article is conveying.

This article is about Gingrich telling people in West Des Moines that he chatted with the locals in the tourism industry in Greece and that it had a profound influence on his understanding of the global economy.

I'll be nice and say some people may find that rather laughable. (Especially, I might add, those who have been on luxury cruises to the Mediterranean.)

Newt can take any kind of vacation any time he wants. But if he wants to exploit it for cringeworthy and insulting talking points, he's going to get pushback over that.

And our ursurper-in-chief isn’t campaigning on our nickel? I think Newt has the advantage here.

OH my. My response was a reply to another post in which I am only agreeing, it was for that poster, but if you feel that you have to just add your 2 cents, ok by me.

I for one am not JEALOUS of anyone who does well, and can afford the luxuries, good for them. That's what makes the money go round and round, and that's a Martha Stewart "Good Thing" agreed?

""""""BUT, if he exploits it"""""".

He didn't bring it up, but he sure is entitled to respond to it.
