Newt Gingrich Made a Great Point!

By Linda Mains

Now I'm no Gingrich fan...I've never been a fan of this man. Although, I really wasn't impressed with the speaker, who asked him this first question during a Republican debate; "so what about the scandal that involved your then Mistress, who's now your current wife, and the supposed three way that you had asked your wife to participate in?" I have to say I loved Gingrich's response; "I'm really disappointed by that first question that you had to ask me, which had to be a personal one. So 'NO' I won't answer your question!"

I have to say I was really disappointed too; God there are so many self-incriminating questions that they should have asked Gingrich like;

• What where the Democratic-ethical-lapses during the appointment of Panamanian administrator of the Panama Canal in 1989, that the Gang of Seven that Gingrich was appointed to talking about?
• Why in 1989 was Gingrich opposed to giving control of the canal over to an administrator appointed by the dictatorship of Panama at that time?
• What ethical lapses in Democratic control in the 40 years they where in power was Gingrich referring to?
• What did Gingrich have to gain, by being involved in the House Banking Sandal, and the Congressional Post office scandal?
• Why does Gingrich think that he should be allowed to even participate in the Presidential elections after being involved in both those scandals?
• Weren't you involved in check kiting Mr Gingrich? And didn't you have overdrafts on twenty-two checks, including a $9,463 dollar check for the Internal Revenue Service in 1990? So if we the people; can't even trust you to pay your own taxes with out writing bad checks...what makes you believe that you would make a good President?
• Did you sell your home Mr. Gingrich and moved to Marietta in the new 6th district of your primary opponent State, which was Represented by Herman Clark...in an attempt to fix the voting? Because after the recount of the votes there; didn't you only win by 980 votes? 

Look! I'm not a Gingrich Fan, but I don't believe, that any type of public-personal-assassination, on the morality of any candidate; is really helping our Presidential elections right now. There is so much dirt on Gingrich, that you could look it up anywhere...the main stream news media, didn't have to make a public spectacle of this corrupt-Presidential-Candidates life. All they really needed to do was, just ask him some real questions!

Gingrich did make a good point when he stated; "do you think that anyone in the Media will be trying to assassinate President Obama's character like this? I have to stand up for all of the Republican Presidential Candidates from constantly having to defend their morality and characters. My only question is are those the most important issues that our country is facing right now?" This time I totally have to agree with the Ging, with unemployment at the highest rates since the Great Depression, along with thousands of people losing their homes and jobs...is it really necessary, during this current-election, to make everything about morality? We the people need a good President, we aren't electing a Pope!
