Newt Gingrich, 2008 GOP presidential candidate?

I certainly hope so.

In Mobile Alabama, Newt indicated he might be a presidential candidate in 2008. "There are circumstances where I will run." He added that he hopes the primary process "will be bipartisan and will emphasize having a serious dialogue instead of a debate." If the location of his announcement is any indication of the potential of a Newt 2008 candidacy (devastation), we should all start campaigning for him now!

With his seedy background, Newt seems to be perfect GOP presidential material.

You many recall that in 1997, Gingrich was reprimanded and fined $300,000 by the House Ethics Committee, the first time such an action was taken against a House Speaker. It seems he had used tax-exempt foundation money to promote Republican goals.  (Does this sound familiar?). He was also found to have lied to the committee during the investigation. But it doesn't stop here.

Do you recall the House Banking Scandal?  In 1992, there were many Congressmen who wrote rubber checks on government money. Newt was one of them. He bounced 22 checks.

You may also remember that while Newt was spearheading the witch hunt against President Clinton for his tryst with Monica Lewinsky, Newt himself was carrying on an adulterous affair with a young Congressional aid, 23 years his junior. And of course, there was the heart warming story of Newt demanding a divorce from his first wife, Jackie, while she was recovering in the hospital from cancer surgery.

Newt, our hero!

If he were to team up with Cheney

Dick would be Newtered

We could only wish Newt were the Nominee

But he's about as likely to make it as Pat Buchannan.

LIBERAL: If the word bothers you, then you don't know what it means.

If Newt were

to be the rupub candidate it sure would put a strain on the family values branch of the party hehehehe I would love to see that ;)

I remember the House banking scandal

I have volunteered to work for a state senate candidate here who was part of it, Carroll Hubbard, who used to be our Congressman. Unlike these Repugs, he served his time like a man.

And what a man Newt is

He took great pride in pointing the finger at President Clinton and others for moral offenses, but there was absolutely no contrition from Newt when it came to his own misdeeds.

Newt For Prez

I kind of hope the Repugnicans are dumb enough to nominate this stupid bastard. He's the epitome of "family values" that the Repugnicans claim to champion. I can see James Dobson lying with the certainty that Condi has, when the topic of Newty's fitness to be "president" is brought up. It would be comical to watch those smug bastards in the R column justify him. And I agree with the person above, I'd prefer to see Newty under a landslide also.

Americans have very short memories

This brings to mind a great quote:

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

- George Santayana (1863-1952)

Let's start promoting his candidacy now

How about it?

Newt for President 2008
The man Republicons can get behind
