how in the hell is half the stuff from Newt's past not been brought up..
"If combat means living in a ditch, females have biological problems staying in a ditch for thirty days because they get infections and they don't have upper body strength. I mean, some do, but they're relatively rare.."I mean, wtf?
The idea that a congressman would be tainted by accepting money from private industry or private sources is essentially a socialist argument. but my favorite is when he called people who didn't like Bush policies nazi's.. (But hey, that never happened, or so I was told)
Alan Colmes: You're calling "appeasers" people who disagree with the Bush policy administration —
Gingrich: Look—
Colmes: — comparing them to those who enabled Hitler?
Gingrich: Yes.
Colmes: That's an astounding comment —
Gingrich: What's your — what's your — why? Why is it astounding?
Colmes: — that's a very insulting comment —
Gingrich: It's not an insulting comment.

let's not forget his stance on keeping the country safe..
This is, by the way, the great— one of the great tragedies of the Bush administration. The more successful they've been at intercepting and stopping bad guys, the less proof there is that we're in danger, and therefore, the better they've done at making sure there isn't an attack, the easier it is to say "well, there was never gonna be an attack anyway". And it's almost like they should every once in a while have allowed an attack to get through just to remind us.
I'm surprised this stuff it's out there..I can only assume that it's not because the GOP base wouldn't mind most of this stuff and would agree, but in a 'general' election it would come out.. because
sane people wouldn't like this shit..
