Comments on: Newt Goes Nuclear http://belowthebeltway.com/2007/07/24/newt-goes-nuclear/ I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

You can't give an opinion on issues as serious as war, foreign policy, the trade deficit & the economy, taxes, etc., etc., etc., in one minute sound bites. The only democrats I would consider right now are Biden and Richardson. In the GOP, it would only be Hagel, if he runs, and possibily Gingrich, if he runs. I'm kind of waiting too see whether Booomfield runs as an Independent and what he has to say about the issues, if he does.

““Whether that leads to the presidency is the country’s problem, not mine.””

Yes, it would be our problem if he became president. I doubt he meant to speak with such clarity on the subject.
