I consider myself an optimistic person. Even though we are in the midst of a terrible recession, I still think Americas glory days are ahead of us. After spending most of my life around politics, I still believe that politicians run for office to serve their country and try to change things for the better. However, do you know one of the few things that can make me a cynic? Politicians with a history of ethically questionable behavior who miraculously reinvent themselves as the second coming of Ronald Reagan. Politicians with a history of corruption who think people who question their history dont have a clue about America and what is right for our country. I am, of course, referring to Newt Gingrich.
Gingrich is the new flavor of the month, the current frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination. He has seen such a dramatic surge in the polls, Im actually scared. The idea of Gingrich becoming our nominee makes my stomach turn. What exactly are we doing as a party? How is it possible that out of all the great politicians in the GOPand all of the imperfect, but still admirable, politicians runningthis is the guy were left with?
If we nominate Gingrich, we lose to President Obama.
