Newt 2012
The guy is sounding Presidential. He's smart as heck. Has quite the resume as the former Speaker of the House during Clinton years (and Contract with America) and doesn't mince words. Could it be a liability or is it just what Repubs need? I think it's what they need. A straight talker who can actually sound clear!

Re: Newt 2012
Newt's got some baggage. Seems his morality might be as questionable as Clinton's.

That may be an issue. I like his ideas but his past personal life could be a problem.

Re: Newt 2012
Ah, baggage, swaggage. Old hat... he's a political leader, not a spiritual father. And he's messed up like many prior President's, but as far as we know is as straight laced as they come.

We've lost our way when character doesn't matter.
By the way I agree with many political things Newt espouses. Here's some good things.
Quote:
Contract with America
* require all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply to Congress;
* select a major, independent auditing firm to conduct a comprehensive audit of Congress for waste, fraud or abuse;
* cut the number of House committees, and cut committee staff by one-third;
* limit the terms of all committee chairs;
* ban the casting of proxy votes in committee;
* require committee meetings to be open to the public;
* require a three-fifths majority vote to pass a tax increase;
* and implement a zero base-line budgeting process for the annual Federal Budget.

How convenient it is to throw morality away when we like someone....
Republicans for OBAMA 2012!
