Are you serious? Newt got caught doing both of his past wives wrong AND he is the only speaker of the house to be removed and fined by his own colleagues. Now tell me again why should anyone vote for this racist immoral man

I think that he meant a senile senior citizen, an quite honestly I think that even they remembered what he did

Obama is corrupt too.

This election, I'm voting for a politician who IS NOT corrupt.

I guess that you won't be voting, or the candidate that you vote for has not got a snowballs chance in ..........

My question is how can someone vote for a guy who has been essentially out of work for 14 years by the time he takes office? Newt has done absolutely nothing in over 14 years, no accomplishments of any kind. That's the thing that is most baffling to me, how anyone can vote for a guy who has done nothing in the past decade. What he has done in the 90s is irrelevant as his accomplishments in the 90s are not applicable to the current situation the US is in.

Right, you criticize people for supporting a massively corrupt Newt Gingrich. You're right, he is massively corrupt and massively flawed.

But when somebody points out that Obama is also corrupt and flawed, it no longer matters ....

and you criticize somebody for choosing to vote for the one guy running who is effectively incorruptible (Ron Paul.)

There's a reason that so many people have a growing hatred for our two party system. Both parties are corrupt and neither is truly looking out for the best interests of Americans. A vote for the Libertarian candidate or a vote for Ron Paul is as likely to be a protest vote against the broken political system as it is a vote for the things he stands for.

I agree with you regarding the corruption on both sides. I like many of Ron Paul's views, but unfortunately the way that the system is setup he like anyone outside of the traditional crooked parties will never get elected. This has more to do with the electoral colleges than anything else. the other thing is that if the refuticans will not work with the dumbocrats what makes you think that either one will work with Paul?

Good point, this has not been mentioned in any of the debates or non-bias talk shows

What he did in the 90s is not irrelevant and as for doing nothing for 14 years? Interesting statement, I thought the "other side" was claiming he was a lobbyist, which was it?

But actually, being a lobbyist and claiming to be an outsider at the same time is kind of confusing.
