Newt Gingrich is a reckless opportunist.

He wants to be the leader of the Republicans so badly that he can taste it. He has changed his religious affiliation to Catholic. Why? To get the pro-life vote?

And he is willing to say anything about anybody if it will promote his chances of being the next nominee for President of the United States from his Party.

He wants the Republicans to believe that they can return to the good old days of 1994. He was their leader then. They had the majority in the House and the Senate. He can return them to those wonderful days of yesteryear. The Republicans just have to trust Newt...

1. Newt also led them to disaster

Impeaching the President for boinking an intern and cheating on his wife in the oval office while he was boinking an intern and cheating on his wife in the Speaker's office.

The man was speaker for a total of 4 years. At the end of those four years he was about as popular as Bush.

The GOP trying to reinvigorate itself with Gingrich is like us trying to reinvigorate ourselves with Walter Mondale.

2. Well I am all for reminding Americans how he left his

previous wife on her death bed (cancer- I think she survived) for a gal 20 years younger.

You are right he is an opportunist...

6. He sure did

He served her divorce paper while she was was recuperating in the hospital after a surgery. After having two children with her no less.

Class act. Wonder if he had that marriage annulled and announced his children as illegitimate

7. Is and always was. His ONLY interest is advancing himself to

positions of power he feels he is entitled to.
He is a first class pig.
