The kindest thought I have toward Newt Gingrich is that he is a closet Libertarian. Years ago a group called themselves the, "I'm for me First" Party. This was done tongue in cheek but it really does apply to this slick talking, self serving fellow.
But he is certainly not alone. Washington DC is full of his carbon copies, and Party lines mean nothing. Indeed, some of these self servers slide back and forth as the tides of public opinion flow and ebb.
The "Great Communicator" Ronald Reagan was a fine example. Bill Clinton was actually an even brighter example. And I fear that our "Great Brown Hope" Barak Obama may show himself to be another member.

Why do so many of these people slither among us? Well, my feeling is that we folks love to be charmed. We have our Fairy Tales with all the beautiful Princes and Princesses telling us how wonderful life among the chosen ones can be. We all want to leave our humdrum lives and follow a Pied Piper to some new and exciting Land of Oz.
Until we waken from our dreamland and shake the Fairy Dust from our eyes and learn that their is no Wonderland, and we must learn to live in the here and now, only then will the Newt Gingrich's of the world crawl back under their rocks and slither back into their vipers nests.
Sincerely,
Your Peace loving friend, who did not receive consideration for a Nobel Peace Prize, but sure could use the money,
