A short refresher on a single reason why Gingrich is ridiculous for the GOP nod...
By John E. Yang Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, January 22 1997; Page A01
The House voted overwhelmingly yesterday to reprimand House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) and order him to pay an unprecedented $300,000 penalty, the first time in the House's 208-year history it has disciplined a speaker for ethical wrongdoing.
The ethics case and its resolution leave Gingrich with little leeway for future personal controversies, House Republicans said. Exactly one month before yesterday's vote, Gingrich admitted that he brought discredit to the House and broke its rules by failing to ensure that financing for two projects would not violate federal tax law and by giving the House ethics committee false information.

I like Newt Gingrich! Newt is intelligent, well thought out, a good academic, a good debater, and he has experience. Is he perfect? No, but I don't know anyone who is. Newt Gingrich had only one alleged "ethics violation", and a subsequent IRS ruling essentially CLEARED him on that one. Newt knows Washington, and won't need "on the job training". Newt is a "real" candidate and is not "manufactured" meaning that he hasn't had his whole history hidden, and then re manufactured through his books as the current president. Before you judge Newt, visit his website and watch some of his speeches; he's a wonderful orator! Newt Gingrich has my vote of confidence!See Newt Gingrich at his best here: http://youtu.be/SQxturElvxI

Talk about political baggage: Buddies with fringe America-hating Marxist radicals and domestic terrorists like Bill Ayres, Jeremiah Wright, and Van Jones, and whose wife was never proud of her country. Now THATS baggage! But at least he has charisma and can tell a convincing deception. Seems that's all that's needed for the ignorant to rally to his support. Forget his "accomplishments" like driving poverty to an 80 year high and keeping unemployment above 9% for the longest time since the Depression.
Since Iowans take to Newt so much, why don't they love him and hug him and pet him and call him George? Then they can ordain him Emperor, or dress him in frills and force him to drink tea and do his nails, anything they wish really, but KEEP HIM IN THEIR STATE, and the rest of the nation will be deeply indebted.

Particularly beginning in 2001 when they took over the White House too.
