Newt Gingrich got a list of people who should go to jail . I think Barney Frank is first on my list! They helped create the financial crisis

He speaks the truth. Hes a very smart guy and if he didnt make buffoon like statements such as he had an affair because he's patriotic, I could really support him.

I like Newt Gingrich. I think he is real like Ron Paul but he has too much negative baggage to be the nominee.

Your statement did not make sense and I don't believe Newt said it quite that way.
This is what Newt said...

'There's no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate,' Gingrich told The Christian Broadcasting Network.
'What I can tell you is that when I did things that were wrong, I wasn't trapped in situation ethics, I was doing things that were wrong, and yet, I was doing them,' he said.

I still think Barney Frank should go to jail and Newt is right about that!

Newt is not too electable when it comes to his past scandal and his Tiffany's line of credit.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight......the Dodd-Frank bill is the problem. LOL, I wonder what this idiot has to say about the Commodities Futures Modernization Act of 2000 or the the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. GLB and CFM acts will go down as THE worst mistakes in US history. Idiots.

Newt is coming up in the polls because he is direct on what he would do to fix the economy.

This is why I don't like Barney Frank.. such a liar he is!! The dems didn't want to hold back the banks with any kind of regulation.

Newt Gingrich would make an excellent President...but the media will never let him campaign on the issues because they would want to talk about nothing except his extramrital affairs and his past.

I like what Newt has to say and often; however, he is nothing like Ron Paul aside from being intellegent and having a cogent working knowledge of history. Newt is an establishment globalist who is not willing to adhere strictly to the US Constitution except when it serves his political cause. That's my opionion, YMMV.

They paved the way to the financial crisis as well.. make the banks too big to fail.. and also deregulation to the point of no return.
