(20,135 posts)Spending millions of dollars in taxpayer's money investigating infidelity and impeaching the president over it = totally justified.

(45,558 posts)Gingrich is right; it really isn't the way to start a debate.
These are allegations that are not grounded in any kind of proof.
This just shows you how salacious the media has become.
I mean it really is an issue to be addressed, but not from the get go.

(26,060 posts)I don't care if Newt does win SC - in fact, I hope he does as it keeps this circus going for much longer - but what the pub sheep don't realize is that the establishment wants Romney and it's Romney they're going to get and the sheep will get in line, stop their bleating and vote the way they're told to. No way are they going to let a guy with a past like Newt make them have to give up the "family values" banner forever more and they're not going to let his mistress anywhere near the oval office even if she is now his wife. The money just wont be there.

(24,689 posts)He has the persuasive speaking skills none of the other candidates have and is a very good liar.
Romney is predictable and boring and would become uncomfortable and defensive in a situation like that.

(3,245 posts)that way.
Allowed Newt to go into attack mode from the get go. Took the focus off R-money's tax shit and pushed it off the front burner.
Yeah, Newt's indignation may have been real, but that's about it.

(2,639 posts)I think that Newt actually had his ex put this stuff out there. He knew what kind of audience he was playing to - - sick rabid dogs, and he set the media up with a story that they could not fail to cover and then he bashed them with his hypocritical fake poutrage in front of a pack of baying hyenas who would boost his numbers in the polls.
Always think the most evil of Republicans, and they will never let you down.
