My man Newt

[Germ]

You know I like Newt, I would work for him if he ever ran for President. I never miss a news show when he is on. Tonight he had a great comment.

"Youcannot have capitalism on the what up, and socialism on the way down. Because you keep the people in power who screwed up in the first place"

Newts congress when he was speaker of the house was one of the best, if not the best congress.

Newt for 2012

He's too old and male and white to be president.

Newt has some serious skeletons in his closet. Some compare him to Bill Clinton in that respect.

Mr. Family Values is amazingly similar to Bill Clinton - both are pot smoking, draft-dodging adulterers from poor Southern families. Click on the allegation of your choice:

Regardless of your opinion about his family life, he is right on virtually every political issue. And, I don't think any of the "skeletons in his closet" are REAL SKELETONS. I suspect some of the Clintons' skeletons are...

Read up on why Gingrich resigned as speaker of the house.

Read up on why Gingrich resigned as speaker of the house.

So far, I've read that he was accused (and cleared) of violating tax law. Not sure if that had something to do with it.
Still reading.

I bet there's no partisan bias at all at that website...

For example, I'm a little interested about the way this is phrased:

Dead-Beat Dad: The hospital visit wasn't the end of it, either. Jackie had to take Newt to court to get him to contribute for bills, as utilities were about to be cut off.

Was he paying his court ordered child support, or not? Sounds to me like he was, but "Jackie" petitioned the court for a raise. That's not the same as being a "dead beat dad."

And, I'm sorry, but, obtaining legal "deferments" or joining the National Guard are not the same as being a draft dodger. If you believe that, then you need to petition your congressman to eliminate all possible avenues of deferment. Draft dodging is when you get drafted and, instead of reporting for service, heading to Canada, or England. "Lucrative Book Deal"??? That's one of the things I remember as a big reason for his resignation. But, he had the same kind of deal that Hillary got...

Most of that stuff is just Socialist Party spin...

I've always liked ole' Newt. Imagine he and "The One" in a REAL debate. That would likely be enough to set Rainmaker and Wahoo into a very deep depression. LOL.

That's nonsense. Just proves you can find any kind of silly definition on the internet you like if you know where to look.

I enlisted for three years active duty in the Army to avoid the draft. (Got a better deal) Does that make me a draft dodger?????

I suggest you seek out some better authorities if you're going to be looking for definitions.
