Re your post 17, I agree. The Newt haters have no substantive argument. All they can do is reference “affairs” and yet they don’t give any details so that we can know what a scumbag the man is.

And I fail to see any connection between the man’s personal life and his ability to serve. Please elucidate on the connection.

How about this, if a man cannot keep a promise to his wife, how can you trust him to keep a promise to his electorate?

The details are pretty easy to get, he was sleeping with wife #2 before even seeking divorce from #1, and repeated the setup with #3. Then there’s the hilarity of saying the cheating happened because of his love of country (no really).

And as for connection with his ability to serve, he’s proven he can’t keep an oath. I’m not willing to bet he’ll keep the oath of office better than the oath of marriage.

If you really must know, Newt was shtupping someone who was effectively a junior employee roughly half his age while leading the charge on the Clinton/Lewinski scandal. When his wife found out, he wasn't apologetic or repentent, and even worse asked his wife to simply look the other way to spare him public embarassment.

Newt has proven over and over that he is devoid of personal integrity. That's a problem when you're putting somone in any position of authority, much less making them President of the United States. Newt has shown that where there's personal gain at stake for him, that everything else goes out the window. He doesn't care about the consequences his self-seeking actions may have on other people - even immediate family - much less the rest of us.

His poor judgement, arising IMO from a complete lack of personal integrity, is just as evident in his political career as his personal life. In the past he's shown a willingness to sacrifice our national interests in exchange for personal gain too often and too easily to be trusted with real power.
