I do NOT want to see Newt run against Barack Obama.  For two reasons:

1. Gingrich is the genuinely unprincipled man in this primary season.  Nobody running for President this time, and I mean NOBODY, is beneath him when it comes to personal moral turpitude.  It is not a matter of forgiveness over the six years he ran Calista as his mistress while supposedly happily married to his second wife — I am not the one offended against, so my forgiveness isn’t even in question — it is a matter of SIX FREEPING YEARS.  That isn’t a mere one-night stand, a moment of mad passion, or some kind of “Ooops, I screwed up”.  That is long-term, systematic, consistent, and intentional BETRAYAL of a sacred covenant.  As I said, I don’t need to forgive him (for all I know, God may actually have forgiven him, and I don’t have an issue with that), but I do NOT trust him, and I don’t want to see him in the Oval Office.
2. At least partly because of the foregoing, and adding in such things as
   • making close to $2 million dollars working for Fannie Mae (you know, that quasi-federal outfit that contributed so well towards our current financial mess?), and
   • being censured and fined for ethics violations while he was Speaker of the House of Representatives (the only SotH in history to be so “honored”)

… I believe that Gingrich cannot beat Obama.

In a contest for a sitting President’s second term, a large portion of the votes cast will be votes cast because voters are more AFRAID of one candidate than the other.  Gingrich is a person more likely to be feared by the all-important middle-of-the-road swing voters.  I believe Gingrich will re-elect Barack Obama, if he gets the Republican nomination.

One of the Reasons Why Newt is a Slimeball
