Time to re-visit Newt Gingrich

I doesn't matter to me which one of them loses to Obama. So I'll just save the bandwidth and get off this thread.
 
He's the poster child for insider pay to play Washington poltics. Amoral,Deceitful, dishonest (both intellectually and generally) and relentlessly self serving.
 
Newt is an adulterer. He could pull the decadence and debauchery wing of the GOP but he's going to lose many 'definition of marriage' and 'family values' Republican voters. I wonder which of those two groups has the most members?

Charlatan Rogue.

Maybe he should run as a Democrat, eh? He'd fit right in with the Clinton model, don't you think?

I doubt that (re: bolded) because he changed religions, again, and repented. He's trumping his adultery losses with a religious evangelical repent. Something that the social conservatives seem to get away with all while claiming they hold themselves to higher standards.

Nah. He seems to fit right in with the Jon Ensign/Larry Craig/David Vitter/Mark Foley Republican model. If we are going for likenesses I'll give you a pass on this if John Edwards were to run for office again but for some reason, when a Dem cheats on his cancer-ridden wife his political career is over... and rightfully so too. When a Repub cheats on his cancer-ridden wife, and his next wife after that, he gets to be a presidential front-runner in the GOP.

No better or worse than anyone's else's

But of course the GOP is always so over concerned with ethics and morals rather than repairing the country and address issue that effect everyone as a nation.

You know: he's actually the only candidate that has ever shown he understands why the economy went down the ****ter - and the only one who had possible solutions ot address the issues.

No one else has shed light and brought understanding to these things . . . I think he's the only one capable of comprehending it and avoiding certain measures that would worsen our situation.

He's also responsible for the capital gains tax rate being so low, which helps encourage "gambling" over investing - so he's part of the problem with our economy.

I know a lot of people take issue with Newt's wife ever becoming the "First Lady," after being an adultress, too.

Gingrich told a town hall meeting at a senior center in Plymouth, N.H., that if the NAACP invites him to its annual convention this year, he'd go there and talk about "why the African-American community should demand paychecks and not be satisfied with food stamps."

I'm certainly no fan of Gingrich and don't intend to defend him, BUT you and the article you posted are playing loose with numbers to make him look worse than he already does.

According to the U.S. government, about 9 million African Americans receive food stamps or 24% of the population. 13.4 million Caucasians or 7% of the population receive food stamps. The number of African Americans receiving food stamps as a percentage of the population is over 3 times higher than the white population.
