GOP's New(t)est Infatuation?
Newt Gingrich is taking his turn as the GOP frontrunner. This tells us more about the average GOP electorate, or at least those being polled.
You'd think conservatives, especially the religious right, would shy away from a man who takes his marriage vows - made before God in a church no less - about as seriously as the previous GOP flavor of the week, Herman Cain. Comparing Newt to King David?? Seriously? The serial adulterer with not a hint of humility, piety, empathy or devotion to any god (unless you count money and power) who advocates more war and violence is the choice of those who follow the Prince of Peace? The religious right is sorely lacking any moral fortitude if they can't realize that the salamander stands for everything they supposedly believe in.
And in case you missed it, Leroy has been making millions as the quintessential D.C. insider. The TEA party types in the GOP, who rail on Freddie and Fannie for their role in the FED-fueled housing bubble should be denouncing Newt every chance they get instead of pushing him to the front of the GOP field. If you're Taxed Enough Already and sick and tired of the status quo in Washington, there is some pretty amazing cognitive dissonance going on upstairs if Gingrich is your man to lead the country.
There must also be some severe amnesia in the GOP is they can't remember what a failure Newt was as Speaker of the House, when he was the first Speaker in history to get censured and penalized $300,000 for ethical wrongdoing.
Newt has no morals, ethics or principles. He has used his position of power to enrich himself at the expense of taxpayers. He cannot keep any oath or office or marriage. If this is who the GOP wants as the presidential nominee to take on Obama in the fall of 2012 then the GOP is logically, morally and fundamentally broken and will ensure another 4 years of Carter, er, Obama.
