>>> Because Newt represents everything that is wrong in Washington these days. Corruption, cronyism, selling out to the highest bidder, making grandiose promises and breaking them as easily as alliances on the reality show Survivor ... He's a politician, no doubt. But no worse than Romney, Obama, or anyone else who might be running -- except for maybe Ron Paul. But Paul just doesn't have a comprehensible foreign policy and that is, after all, one of the more important parts of the job. He has the positive that he does have a lot of good ideas and does have some experience & success in getting his ideas implemented. I like Romney personally and would have no hesitation in voting for him. But the rhetoric proclaiming Newt to be a nutjob just doesn't hold water. Someone commented today that for every 100 ideas he has, 97 are great and three would blow up the country. I think that's nonsense; he spouts off with off the wall ideas sometimes, but on reflection, I don't think he would act on them (e.g., moon-based lasers lighting highways).
