People can say what they want about the patriot act,it has saved our butts alot more then you'll ever know. As far as Newt goes in my humble opinion. Newt is human and as we all do he makes mistakes at least he owned up to them and didn't use the blame BUSH card. He didn't lie to a Grand Jury about it!
He is VERY smart and VERY politically savvy and I think he would be an excellent President. He doesn't live by the PC code~Check him out~

Gingrich is not a very nice man, at all. He is the definition of a hypocrite that would violate any ethic as long as "he won". Maybe this will shoot him in the foot, so to speak.
