Lets just cut to the chase.
Folks on FR are supporting Newt because they perceive him to be the most conservative of the candidates. And they seem to be willing to ignore any of the serious issues that Newt will have getting elected.
If another more conservative candidate was in this race, Newt would be savaged her for his serial adultery and attack on capitalism (etc).
I thought those of us on FR had principals first, and were also conservatives. After 12 years here, I am having doubts.
Personally, I will support whoever wins the republican nomination. We can’t have 4 more years of Obama. Any republican is 100 times better than Obama.
