With Newt, Tea Party finds a match made in their heaven.
Although I have my doubts about Newt Gingrich's staying power, what I fear isn't that he'll say something stupid and blow up his chances for the nomination, but that he'll continue to say stupid, idiotic things, and this will endear him to the Tea Party. This is a man that was fined $300,000 while in the Congress, came up with the plan to compromise with Democrats only as a last resort, thinks poor inner-city people have no work ethic, believes child labor laws should be abolished, sees no problem receiving over a million dollars from a government agency he thinks is taking illegal actions, and believes the dumbest thing he ever did was to do an ad with Nancy Pelosi. And lastly, he hates President Obama, not just his policies, but him personally. And he fits like a hand in a glove (an iron glove, though) with the Tea Party. They believe that banks are under-regulated (overturn Dodd-Frank), want air and water rules relaxed, if not completely repealed (Abolish the EPA), believes that the Constitution doesn't apply to all people (wants to limit the rights of gays and lesbians), and will go against the Constitution to stop the census (Abolishing the Commerce Department, which oversees the census, which is required in the Constitution). And yes, they hate President Obama, not just his policies, but him personally. The are a perfect match, but I wouldn't call where they are at heaven.
