Newt Gingrich


I watched the Republican Debate last night and I must say that I enjoyed it very much. I’m also sad that Rick Perry had decided to drop out of the race. I’m going to miss him.

So anyway let’s get started. Mr. Gingrich was upset that John King asked him about the interview that his 2nd wife had given. In which she says that he said to her that he wanted to be in an open marriage.  He said that it should not have been the first question. I would like to know at what point during the debate should that question be asked. I wish he had asked Mr. Gingrich that question. I know the answer is NEVER. He does not want to talk about it. I don’t blame him and I would not want to do it either.



 Newt said being asked that question was the worst thing he could imagine. I don’t believe that at all. I know he has a better imagination than that. Like, thinking that I may be dying and my wife asking me for a divorce, would be worse. He said that “it is questions like that are what keeps good people from running for public office”. Surely he doesn’t think he is a good person. If he is a good person he hides it well. Unless he is saying he is a good person except for all the bad things that he has done. If that is what he is saying then he is a great person and should be the next President.

 This has to be the best election primary ever. I am really pulling for Newt. I wanted Rick Perry to win but now that he is out Newt is my guy. I don’t think I have ever seen anyone like him. I would like to list some of the crazy stuff that he has done, and it is a good list, but I’m going to wait for that. I’m going to wait because I want to write about him again.

 If you didn’t see the debate last night you should go on YouTube and watch it. It was great. These Republican Debates are like watching sitcoms with Newt playing the part of the angry old man. They say he is rising in the polls after his performance last night. I hope that is true because that would mean that we will have much more of him. He is playing to the base of the Republican Party and they are eating it up.

I can’t say that I agree with anything that Newt says but I will say that he is very entertaining. I want him to stay in the race for that reason only.
