this is another thing i want conservatives to think long and hard about before they back newt:
For those old enough to remember, the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” was put in place to kill free speech on the radio. It forced station owners that presented one viewpoint to give equal time to the opposing view point. Now this sounds awesome on paper, but in reality it makes running a business impossible. Most radio stations opted to just play music instead, and it effectively killed free speech.
Newt Gingrich Co-Sponsored the 1987 Pro-Fairness Doctrine Bill
The so-called Fairness Doctrine is the anti-First Amendment now unenforced Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rule which chilled free speech on the radio from its FCC creation in 1949 until the Commission voted to stop its enforcement in 1987. The Fairness in Broadcasting Act of 1987 (H.R. 1934) sprung up immediately after the commission vote --to try to turn the Doctrine into law. Then Georgia Congressman Newt Gingrich was one of its 71 co-sponsors.
I did find a pro-Fairness Doctrine video that says the bill passed the House by a 3-1 margin – and that Gingrich voted for it.
It also passed the Senate – but President Ronald Reagan thankfully then broke out his veto pen.
newt may be the sharpest debater in the room, but newt is not a conservative-despite his current pandering to the republican party now.
if we nominate him, he would be mccain #2, a big government guy.
could the republican party PLEASE get it right this time?

Get a job...take a bath...divorce your wife on a hospital bed stricken w/ cancer b/c you're a scumbag cheater. Check, check and double check.
Great advice Newt! Knew you were the shining beacon of straight talk and moral authority...NOT!
If Newt wants to be President he needs to lose some weight, actually a lot of weight and make sure he doesn't cheat on his wife until AFTER the election
""Advice From Newt to OWS: Get a Job, Right After You Take a Bath"""
Yup! That's the Repugs BEST (and ONLY) Jobs creation "plan" ...tell people to get a job...works wonders for CREATING jobs
Then insult Americans by insinuating they don't bathe...THAT should get votes!
Seriously, it does show beyond any doubt that Repugs do NOT understand , nor do they care to understand , what is happening to middle class Americans...
Repugs ONLY response to Americans is derision....will that work well at the polls???
Wonder why Newtsie( the philandering sex fiend) didn't slam those christians celebrating Christmas with greed and pepper spray on Black Friday....
Why should he respect this bowel movement? They want to SHUT down our capitalistic system, SHUT down business, SHUT down ports, SHUT down commerce.
Again, the movement is NOT a popular uprising by the majority of the people, not even close to what the TP accomplished.
And what the nation has seen going on in most of these camps has left a very, very negative impression.
If you want to be president you better respect your fellow citizens and their freedom of speech. It is that simple. You can't spit on people faces and then hope to be their president. This kind of "take a bath" language is almost unheard of coming from a person running for WH.

Sorry, but the stuff coming out of the occupy movement - rapes, assaults, fights, drugs, overdoses, shootings, murders, vandalism, attacking police, public acts of disgusting behavior - DESERVES to be derided, mocked and dismissed.
On the other hand, we have prominent dems that have endorsed them.
