    Politics Newt Gingrich

    No way Im voting for this guy.. He dumped a terminally ill wife in the hospital, dumped another wife diagnosed with MS, and got caught with his dick in an intern and now he's trying to run the reformed Christian bullshit horse and Pony show??? This guys a fuckin scheister... If you're running on the 'god ticket' you can not count on my vote... All he's doing is pandering to the 50-60% religious sect. in this country... No way Sara.. I hope some better candidates come down the pike.. Because if they dont.. GO OBAMA in 2012!!!

    Rant over.. sorry. (I think it's a morning thing for me)

    To be quite honest, for me, I could care less about anyone's personal life (unless it was something criminal of course, but if they had that kinda background, they wouldn't be running for President). I don't care if the guy (or girl) is an asshole in their personal life, all I care about is if they can run the country and do a good job of it.

    That's why I didn't care about the witch hunt when they went after Clinton on the whole Lewinsky thing because I thought it was just stupid. Are politicians hypocritical? Absolutely, and the ones that usually bang the drum the loudest for their particular cause are the biggest hypocrites of all. But I could care less about that...I hate social issues being made a part of any election.

    If someone wants to run for President that left his dying wife to go live with a stripper in the past, good for him, that's on him, not me. He's the one that has to live with himself. So long as he can run this country and do it the right way, that's all that matters to me.

    See what you made me go and do?

    I dont care one bit about personal life either... It's the whole run to the bible, and hiding behind it that irritates me... This guy's tagline is like Bringing America back in to gods values or some dumb shit like that... Doesnt sound like a solid footing for rebuilding America to me?... If he just took his lumps and didnt jump on the Christ express after he had all his fun I would given him the pass.. But he's not.. He's walking around like Jimmy Swaggart now preaching at people...

    It's because the only way to win the republican nomination is to cater to the right-wing religious whack jobs. Just like the only way to win the democratic nomination is to cater to the left-wing commies. It's a huge flaw in the election process where 2 small groups of people basically dictate who we get to vote for during the presidential election.

    It's such a turn off... From one extreme to the next.

    point is, he's a hypocrite of the worst kind, for someone who constanly goes on about other people's moral choices that's inacceptable. i want my leaders to possess and live with at least a minimal amount of personal integrity, otherwise I can't have any trust in the honesty and wisdom of their policy choices.

    But the problem is, is we waited for a politician with morals to come along, we wouldn't have anyone to vote for....ever

    Hey, no argument from me there...that's why election day in the US is just deciding between the lesser of two evils.
