If Bill Clinton could run again for president, would the right bring up his personal baggage?
Damnit, Lakhota.................we need to set a better example if we ever want these idiots to stop using deflection as their primary debate tactic.
To the OP.........................Newt is either the "adult in the room" as nutters like to say, or he is pretending to be. Those of us who support President Obama's re-election eagerly await your dream debate.

Newt Gingrich is the petulant asshole who forced a government shutdown and impeachment of a president because of a "snub" he got from Clinton during a flight.
Normally a character like Gingrich would have been out of the political game for the rest of his life. He's been disciplined by congress for financial shennigans and he was eventually booted. But in the GOP, everything old is new again. Romney is populating his "cabinent" with former Bushie PNAC wackos while talking about invading Iran. Even Ralph Reed is making a comeback. What's next? David Duke?
Gingrich: I'm not perfect, yet better than Romney
Gingrich is just more of the same. That he has risen again is simply telling of the republican party today and its lack of genuine candidates. Listening to them - every republican - is like watching a puppet show in which the rich pull their strings.
"Newt, on the other hand, is always good in debates if you like extremely pompous people who appear to be practically levitating with their own sense of personal wonderfulness. During the last outing, Gingrichs most fascinating moment came when he explained why the mortgage lender Freddie Mac paid him $300,000 in 2006. First of all, it had nothing whatsoever to do with lobbying, or attempting to influence the Republicans who happened to control Congress at a time when there was talk of clamping down on the way Freddie operated. Just put that out of your mind."

Gingrich: I'm not perfect, yet better than Romney
A rousing campaign slogan for the GOP.
The key to the election is getting enough democrats to for vote for the GOP nominee. If theyre not going to vote for Romney, theyre certainly not going to vote for Gingrich.

Ooookay, now you need to take the thorazine the nice doctor gave you and calm down a bit.
To clarify -
1) The GOP Congress shut down teh government because Clinton refused to go along with spending controls HE already insisted were necessary. The GOP wanted to limit Medicare increases to 6%- twice the rate of inflation. Clinton had already proposed this in HillaryCare. then he refused to go along with it and shut down the government. It wasn't just Newt, it was BOTH houses of Congress.
2) After 63 investigations into various activities, there were 62 vindications, and one case where they found underlings had not filed the proper paperwork. That was the so-called "ethics violation".
3) Clinton lied in court, subourned perjury and abused his office. He settled his case and surrendered his law license. A lot of other politicians resigned for a lot less than he did. Sanford, Ensign, Weiner, Spitzer, to name a few. You guys started this sexual McCarthyism bullshit with Clarance Thomas, don't come whining to me when it bites one of your guys in the ass.
4) Not voting for Romney, but give him props for hiring people who know what they are doing, as opposed to the community organizer...
Lol, vote for me because I'm slightly better than the guy you all fucking hate... wow.
Not to mention Newt couldn't beat Obama.

That was a GOP led shutdown. They were braying on and on about how nobody needs the government and it should be smaller. And yeah..they wanted to cut Medicaid..and villified Hillary Clinton for "daring" to come up with a real live workable plan to reform healthcare. They shut 'er down..and people missed the government services. The GOP lost big..really big. And Gingrich's "ethics violation" was exempting his wages earned from a class he taught from taxes. And he was using that class for political purposes. He then LIED about it to congress. That was a real live lie.
And Clinton didn't "lie" in court. He gave them the answers as he understood them to be. Had it been a court case..it would have been laughed right out. He really should have told them to go fuck themselves. It would have saved his law license and a good deal of embarrassment in the long run. And it probably would have been backed by America in general.

So what..not one of you guys want real campaign funding reform. Every single time it's tried..lobbyist work overtime to squash it.
In any case..what's the alternative? Obama turns down the moula?
