It remains to be seen. Do I think he did any thing illegal, No. What concerns me right now, is they (his campaign) were going to release all the FM/FM documents, and then changed their mind in a few hours... what did they find? He is saying one thing, FM/FM is claiming they hired him for 'political clout' (which in itself, Newt independent, is an issue with American Politics). You can hate Dylan Rattigan from MSNBC (and I find him annoying as hell), but his push on removing money and influence from politics is an admirable stance...
Regardless, Newt seems to have an issue of change his take on topics through time... Is he a smart guy? yes is he incredibly Politically savvy? Absolutely. Does that mean he has changed his stance a lot through the years to suit him politically... yes... I think that + personal issues = unelectable...
Stay away from calling all liberals names or painting with a broad brush, and it will stay that way (for now  )

Gingrich (who was having an affair) lead the charge to impeach Clinton. People who don't like Gingrich, say that makes him hypocritical. NOT SO. Clinton was NOT impeached for having an affair, the impeachable offense was LYING ABOUT IT under oath. If you can show me where Gingrich lied about his affairs under oath, then I will be the first one to call him a hypocrite. Otherwise, there's absolutely zero double standard.
When liberals stop giving blank checks to public unions, when they stop saying that conservatyives want to kill social security and medicare (when we want to fix them), when they stop calling the Tea Party racist, and most importantly, when they stop saying that terrorists have more of a right to live than unborn babies, I'll change my tune. But I'll work on my tone, I promise...
