I’ve gone from liking Newt to disliking Newt. I agree with his statements in this video, but still dislike him, mostly for that stupid video he did with Bela Pelosi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi6n_-wB154 - sorry for not embedding link, HTML-fu is weak). He gives fuel to the climate change fire, and then the part that pissed me off is he said something about ‘contacting our leaders in Washington’.. wait, what? I just have a problem with that phrase… I don’t have leaders in Washington. We elect *representatives* to go to Washington; not leaders.
As I sit here with the weight of the clouds crushing my soul and robbing me of breath I remember some fool saying to me: The sky is falling,The sky is falling. Ya, thats pretty much Newt in a nutshell.
The chosen comment pretty much says what I feel about Newt as did OCMs comment - I just have never trusted him from the get go. (But I liked George Jr, 1st term much better than I ever liked George Sr)
And yes, his ad with Pelosi was the last straw - it is sort of like how I feel about Steele, Romney and Santorum - they say the right things, but then come out and either do or say something that really isn’t the right thing.
We need a real conservative - and the shame is I know how hard it can be right now to stand up and speak the truth - look at how Sarah Palin was/is attacked for her convictions. It is what America needs - NOW.
