Still, he did it once and he has it in him to revert back to his former self. If he continues to perform as he has in the last 10 days or so, he will be unstoppable.
“I would be on the Newt Gingrich bandwagon in a heartbeat if I thought we were getting the 1980’s to mid 1990’s version”
You will be getting the 2012 version which is about 16 years older and wiser. Everyone mellows with time. I think Newt wants to leave a legacy as a president who restored the constitutional republic. I believe he will do the things he is saying he will do if elected.
Speaking of a disgrace, If you are referring the so-called "ethics" investigations then you are coming at Newt from the left.
The "ethics" investigations were a disgrace. They found nothing.
Nice use of leftist talking points.
How many times does it take for you to read the truth before it sinks in?
Several links posted here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2837590/posts give a good recap of Gingrich’s troubles in the 1990s.
Instructive, and considering that we’re going to be hearing about it for months, something we all should read and know.
Gingrich is a flawed man, for sure. However, there was scant evidence of ethics violations when he resigned, and he was later exonerated.
I’m convinced that the reason he went willingly rather than resign is because he was 5 years into his clandestine affair with Callista and the “family values” candidate was going to be exposed for the hypocrite that he was.
The point is that his political disgrace doesn’t seem so disgraceful in hindsight. It remains to be seen how long he can tolerate the plastic Callista and keep his personal life in order.
Great interview -
