Why Gingrich should withdraw
To Newt Gingrich: Our country needs a role model sitting in the Oval office and however reformed your personal life “may” be now, why should we take a chance on you given your family history? As the family goes, so goes the nation.
Commitment, responsibility perseverance are virtues you abandoned when they did not advance your career or lifestyle. Your conversion to Catholicism changes nothing. JFK was a CINO, Catholic in Name Only. How deep and sincere your faith is, God only knows and we mortals do not have the power to look into another man’s mind or heart. We can only judge you by your actions.
Rep. Henry Hyde once described you as half genius and half crazy. Your latest idea on union busting comes under the heading of “crazy.” Your idea of hiring students in low income neighborhoods to take care of the schools is an indictment of your lack of commitment to the family, to the parents’ rights to employment first, Have you any idea of the cost and the problems such a program would entail? Many of these kids do not even attend school five days a week. The parents, beside loosing their jobs would lose benefits and aid from the state. If it is such a great idea, how come the private and parochial schools don’t utilize child labor to any meaningful level? Your suggestion is not reform, it is impossible.
If honor means anything to you, you will drop out of the race. All your personal indiscretions are going to be revisited upon those already tarnished by your philandering and adultery. Why make them pay twice? Give it up.
