Bowden: “Even sophisticated voters do not remember the House banking scandal.”

Correction: The House Banking scandal occurred in 1992. Newt became Speaker of the House in 1995. The referenced Banking Scandal was one of the reasons the Democrats lost the house in the ‘94 midterms.

[...] Posted by The CA on March 12th, 2007 Right Wing Nuthouse negatively on the potential presidential candidacy of Newt Gingrich and gets one part right.Â Gingrich’s recent revelation that he was having an affair during the Clinton Administration Lewinsky scandal has brought out charges of hypocrisy.Â But this charge is false.Â Clinton wasn’t impeached for being unfaithful- he was impeached for lying under oath to investigators in the course of a legitimate lawsuit.Â Nevertheless, expect that Democrats will try to demonize Gingrich as a hypocrite for this revelation, but a thinking person knows there is a substantial difference and the charge of hypocrisy only applies if you ignore the essential facts.

Of course, those who will split hairs to excuse Newt’s affaris on both of his former wives will have to come up with another excuse for “Deadbeat Dad” Newt’s failure to pay Child Support, forcing his first ex-wife to take a collection from her church to stay in her house.

But I’m sure the “Family Values” Republican party will have an alibi for that one as well.

I think Newt does have some outstanding ideas for government and how it should be run. However, as an individual he is far too wobbly and damaged to be trusted in a position of leadership. He would make a great advisor or cabinet member.

You either love Newt or you hate him. He’s sort of the Republicans version of Hillary as far as being extremely polarizing. I happen to really like him.

Newt’s peccadillos: political and private

I have been a big fan of Newt Gingrich since he masterminded the Contract With America back in the early ’90’s. He is an especially hated figure with the left because he almost single handedly broke their 40 year stranglehold on control of the House….

If only Cheney was healthy! If only Jeb Bush had a different last name! If only Rudy hadn’t banned guns in New York City!

I might even vote for Newt. But the press will have a field day with him. The main goal in 2008 is to keep Clinton out of the white house.

You guys are making this too complicated.

Gingrich can’t win the Presidency because his name has a sinister, villainous ring to it. Even sophisticated voters do not remember the House banking scandal.
