Gingrich for President? Really?

Last night's debate was fun to watch as usual. It was interesting to watch Gingrich sit as the elephant in the room as the candidates spoke about integrity and infidelity. Is that important to a presidency? Gingrich was asked that very same question and he replied that it is certainly should be considered. While listening to each candidate's response last night I couldn't help to think that this candidate who cheated on his wife, family and friends, is the front-runner in the most important position in our country.When has it become acceptable to cheat and lie? I am not saying that he should not be forgiven, but can he be trusted? Romney has to constantly defend his religion and the fact that he did not grow up poor? What is wrong with our society, when we cannot accept a person that is living righteous? Is he too good to be true? No, he was raised in a loving, righteous and giving home. What a great example for our country and leaders to follow. We have enough leaders in our government that have lied and cheated. I think that we need to look at all aspects of a person's integrity and that should influence us to make a voting decision. Gingrich's past, is his resume and references for the position of President. The Republican candidates quickly dashed over this last night because challenging Gingrich is not "POLITICALLY CORRECT". When is someone really going to stand up for honest, hardworking individuals that just want to make a difference in our government and country? We are crazy to think that making Gingrich the candidate to beat the Democrats. He too, is one more example of dishonesty and hypocrisy in our government.

  1. I totally agree! Not a fan of Newt. In fact he makes my skin crawl. Right now Mitt has me unless something terrible comes out. If that happens the GOP is screwed

  2. When B.O. ran for President has gained popularity for his oratory stills. Later we discovered he was really only good at following the teleprompter. A smooth talker can be powerful. That is what we have in Newt. He is style over substance. He has no character but can spew a memorable sound bite. I want a candidate who walks the talk - not just talking. You are right Newt is a hypocrite. The only thing worst than someone who tries to sway the masses with empty rhetoric is a liar who tries to sway the masses with empty rhetoric. Am I talking about B.O. or Newt? Well, I suppose that could apply to both.
