just like I can forgive someone close to me stealing from me.
However, that doesn't mean I would trust the person that stole from me with anything of value!

Newt has no such distinction. He's like a plastic container. It'll be thousands of years before we'll be rid of him, and in the meantime, he'll release a lot of deadly toxins into the environment.

(61,695 posts)His hypocrisy in criticizing other politicians for his own behavior is what bothers me. Also, this isn't a single event, but a pattern of behavior. His promises are not trustworthy.
Also, his tantrum over the AF1 incident is very troubling. He took out his frustration with Pres. Clinton on the whole country. I don't trust him with military assets.
