      Knowing Newt

      Who knows Newt better than his family?

      For a family perspective, see here.

      Newt failed to properly register IN HIS HOME STATE.

      I suppose we can't rely on a serial adulterer's character, or his dubious record as a conservative, but there's also his intelligence and organizational abilities to fall back on, amirite? emo-emot-smug.gif
      "Years ago, I mean decades ago, I read a quote about politicians performing quid pro quo favors for campaign cash, and whether or not we could prove it. The guy who was quoted opined that it was difficult to determine. He noted that in many cases, the payoff might not take the form of votes on legislative action -- those might be detectable, and so are avoided -- but could take subtler forms, like the question that is never asked at a hearing.

      The media's doing a terrific job of not asking questions it doesn't want to know the answer to. It doesn't ask these questions in bulk, and the great volume of questions it doesn't ask makes it cheap to not ask questions.

      And it passes these savings on to you, the customer." Ace

      I can't vote for Newt -- his current wife wears a hair helmet.
      2 Tim 2:1-2

      Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

      Jackie did not take exception to the question; she believes, as her father has constantly professed throughout this campaign, that the American people should ask any questions they feel the need to ask. Ms. Cushman hopes that people will read her article, but she willingly answered in addition that "I don't know the answer to your question since I never asked her directly, nor am I going to.

      and yet in the paragraph above:

      By September, I went into the hospital for my third surgery. The two girls came to see me, and said Daddy is downstairs and could he come up? When he got there, he wanted to discuss the terms of the divorce while I was recovering from the surgery."

      Why would she have to ask her mother about something she herself was present for?

      My most recent faith struggle is not one of intellect. I don't really do that anymore. Sooner or later you just figure out there are some guys who don't believe in God and they can prove He doesn't exist, and some other guys who can prove He does exist, and the argument stopped being about God a long time ago and now it's about who is smarter, and honestly, I don't care. ~ Don Miller Blue Like Jazz

      Oh, and this little gem, too:
      News | Article

      As Newt runs for president, there are those who will judge his character on the issue of his past marriage.

      Uh, that would be "marriages" in the plural. The issue for some is that it seems to be a pattern.

      Because serial adultery is much better than living a lie, amirite? Whatever his faults, Newt has committed no sins that aren't fully approved by mainstream feminist society.

      With Newt, it's very much WYSIWYG. With Obama...but hey, the Republicans didn't go after his association with Jeremiah Wright, they didn't pursue the birth certificate issue despite obvious inconsistencies, so expecting them to make political hay out of the fact that he spent lots of time in Chicago's not-so-finest bathhouses with Rahm Emanuel is perhaps too much to hope for. If you're going to countenance the Log Cabin Republicans, at least get some use out of them beyond ruining the culture.
      In reaction to Richwine Affair, all right-thinking people are quick to proclaim that they don’t believe in a genetic basis for IQ. They’re much less quick to explain – with any sort of precision – what they actually do believe in. At best, we’re treated to some hand-waving paired with the phrase “social construct.”.
