Newt

We heard this week that Mike Huckelbee will not be running for president. That leaves a handful of conservatives  for 2012.  One of them led the battle to impeach then President Clinton for his affair with Lewinsky claiming his moral superiority and condemning Clinton for his un-presidential behavior, while he himself was having an affair with Callista Bisek. This was not his only affair, there was  Anne Manning, and  Marianne Ginther. In the spring of 1990 his then wife, Jackie Battley, was in the hospital with cancer, during one of his hospital visits this "social conservative" asked his wife for a divorce so he could marry the young (23 years his junior) woman he was then having an affair with. She then had to sue him for get him to contribute for bills, as utilities were about to be cut off.  Newt Gingrich is on his third marriage. During his run as Speaker of the House, Newt had eighty-four ethics charges filed against him.
His views on subjects like energy, corporations, social are far right conservative. Even after our latest gulf oil spill, Newt still wants to lift government  'bureaucratic and legal obstacles" to oil drilling. He wants to lift the ban on oil shale strip mining. Newt wants to give states a federal royalty to increase off shore drilling.  Those policies are reckless and incredibly damaging to our environment. Living here in Colorado, which would be a major source of oil shale, I would hate to see our beautiful mountains become strip mined.
On Healthcare Newt would get rid of Medicare by having seniors get vouchers  He wants to reform the FDA so  new advances in medicine and technology can move faster. This is a very good idea, Europe, Asia and some parts of the Middle East are doing procedures that we still call "experimental". He would repeal Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood. 
Newt Gingrich believes his views are correct and  would only nominate conservative judges that uphold his view of the constitution. This is a man who questioned President Obama's birth, questioned his judgement saying  Obama has a "Kenyan anti-colonial mentality". In early March he said lets go get Qaddafi, then on the 23rd after Obama spoke he changed his mind and said “I never favored intervention.”
Newt was deeply involved in the House banking scandal in which he bounced 22 Congressional Checks. Some 
of his votes while in Congress include: good and not so good: 
March 21, 1991 - $40 billion to begin the bailout of failed savings and loan institutions
February 5, 1981 voted to raise the debt ceiling$49.1 billion
May 16, 1990 - $2.9 billion for Head Start and again May 12, 1994 $3.3 billion-per-year Head Start 
July 20, 1990 - $ 1.I billion for education
 May 22, 1990 - the Americans with Disabilities Act
October 22, 1991 National Police Corps
He has supported  NAFTA and GATT, he did not vote on either min wage bill (1996) and chose to not vote on DOMA. Voted for the storage of nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain.
 Newt talks a very conservative game, but at least in the 90's he did not vote very conservatiev.
