"I was doing things that were wrong, and yet, I was doing them," he said. "I found that I felt compelled to seek God's forgiveness. Not God's understanding, but God's forgiveness."

GOD'S UNDERSTANDING? HUH?????????

Oh, it will be SO much fun if he does decide to run!

Not wife number 2's understanding, not wife number 2's forgiveness????

(But of course, he was screwing her while still married to wife number one - to whom he presented his divorce demands while she was in hospital recovering from cancer surgery...so I suppose - to Newt's way of thinking - wife number 2 had it coming? After all...she DID fool around with a married man....)

Bring him on.

And let us not forget Mike Huckabee. He has the temerity to admonish Natalie Portman for being pregnant and unmarried after being less critical of Bristol Palin for doing the same thing.

Even Elisabeth Hasselbeck got on his case about that - “I think Mike Huckabee is a good guy when it comes down to it … but I really honestly beg [fellow conservatives] to kind of decide whether you’re going to condemn abortion or condemn women having children,”

[Lady's Human]

If the extremists on the right and left continue to be left in charge of their respective parties then all we can expect is more of the same.

Newt and Huckabee are both severely damaged goods, and wouldn't survive the primaries (one hopes). Too many chinks in their armor for them to survive the media firestorm which would ensue if they actually were nominated.

Both the far right and the far left need to learn a few lessons........overreach does no one any good.

Eliminating collective bargaining rights for public employees in Wisconsin is going to cost the GOP just as dearly in 2012 as the foibles of the Democrat Congresas and Senate cost them in the last election.

The idealogues need to be put where they belong, on talk radio and on the Opinion page of the newspaper. You cannot build a concensus from an absolutist position.

I heard on news radio that the people in Libya who are anti-Qaddafi (sp?) are upset at the U.S. for not coming to their assistance. And that the U.S. can't appear to take the side of the opposition, but also can't appear to the rest of the world to support Qaddafi because it's generally thought that he needs to go. The commentator said the best option for the U.S. at this point is to continue to encourage Qaddafi to leave, and to look at other non-military options. Is that accurate? (I missed the beginning of the story) If we want Qaddafi gone, why can't we publicly take that position? And what's the relationship between a might/might not happen situation in Libya and oil prices?

Awwwww....they are upset about that ???? Maybe we should all go over there and sit and hold their hands for a while, maybe a shoulder to cry on.
Perhaps then they would give us a discount on the oil ????
I'm waiting to see what kind of fruitcake will replace Gaddafi.

When the posters reply
and you just don't know why
That's semantics.....
