Newts ethics violations were motivated by him being ganged up on, by both the Democrats who hated him beyond madness, and disgruntled Republicans who hated him as well. It was the same "majority" that brought down Nixon, and others. Nixon said that when you lose control of your own party, you are finished. It also happened to President Johnson who succeeded Lincoln in office. But Newt could not have done all that he did do, without incurring that hatred within his own party. It is a price good men have to pay from time to time for being right on the issues.
It in no way disqualifies him for the office of President. Jealousy in your own ranks is often the way great men are brought down by the Judas, and Brutus types obeying the group they represent. Instructive as well are downings of TR, and John Adams. Newt is now appealing that old politically motivated case directly to the American people, and I think God will revenge him on his unjust and malevolent attackers.
And you are?..
No, these questions do not undo us, they are the greatest and most noble of all questions. but rather the failure to answer them trips us up. The Questions are great, but once raised the refusal to answer them is worse than never raising them at all. Without answering these wonderful questions nothing can move forward and every thing already done comes undone.
