I see Newt as more a progressive. His company was called “Government Solutions”.
I see his baggage as being mostly his indiscipline and his ethics violations. Bob Dole loaned him the 300,000$ to pay the fine.
We know that there will be a slow drip of charges from his ethics investigations. I don’t see that as a winning strategy.
I hope Newt has made his peace with his ex-wives. That is a tough job, but old peccadilloes tend to resurface.
Executive jobs are different from legislative jobs. I would like a presidential candidate to have been a governor, or a general. Not saying it has to be that way, but it would be what I prefer.
Having said that, I suggest a syphilitic camel gets my vote over Obama. Since it live in CA, my vote won’t count for much. By the time we have a primary, all is over. We have lots more Ds than Rs in our state.
“We have lots more Ds that Rs in our state”
All of those Ds have really done a bang up job with your state, haven’t they. Before too long, there won’t be enough people (citizens) left there to make any difference anyway. California will soon be a new state in the northern part of Mexico.
If you think that balancing the federal budget for the last time in our history is progressive, I want some more of it.
