Republican CONSERVATIVE LEADER CONFESSES
Jesus said something about throwing stones. What was it?? Throw stones at everyone but oneself?Here is a story about the BIGGEST CONSERVATIVE hero and leader of the Republican party and their goosesteppers.
The Architect of the 1994 revolution and a great MORAL leader of the move to Impeach the man who ruined a blue dress. Should we call them CONSERVATIVES or cuntaversatives for their pathetic moralizing to us lesser moralled liberals?
There is a guy in our building who keeps harping on the blue dress stain even when we raise questions on the Iraq quagmire. He postures by saying "if I were young I will go fight". What crock is that? We have launched a war that has killed tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis, 3,179 Americans and wounded nearly 50,000 Americans who don't even get good health care when they return with broken bodies, blown off limbs and broken minds in a chaotic quagmire. What happened at Walter Reed is just a symbol of the callous indifference the rich in this country have. They don't give a damn about sacrifice but expect others to sacrifice for a false war we did not need.
So who is an American patriot ? You or the few of us who had the intelligence to predict this way back in 2002? The ones who did not want our kids to go to Iraq when the real war was in Afghanistan or the College Republican Rich spoilt WHITE Frat boy types who were so patriotic and gunho about "lets kick some arab ass" and were all over our campus supporting the war and accusing the few timid folks who opposed it then because they were better informed and smarter?
I HAVE NOT SEEN A SINGLE Business School rich spolit Republican fighting in Iraq or joining the army though this is the 4th year of the quagmire. This is now the LONGEST war we have fought without a draft.
I WAIT FOR THE DAY the draft is brought in, and the Army will come in trucks and round up these fornicating pro war "patriotic" kids and take them to boot camp and put them in Anbar Province so they see the sacrifice of the poor and middle class Americans.
There was a bumper sticker I saw yesterday.
"Clinton ruined a blue dress; Bush ruined a whole nation"

Gingrich admits having affair in '90s
Former speaker who led impeachment push cites ‘periods of weakness’

WASHINGTON - Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was having an extramarital affair even as he led the charge against President Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky affair, he acknowledged in an interview with a conservative Christian group.
"The honest answer is yes," Gingrich, a potential 2008 Republican presidential candidate, said in an interview with Focus on the Family founder James Dobson to be aired Friday, according to a transcript provided to The Associated Press. "There are times that I have fallen short of my own standards. There's certainly times when I've fallen short of God's standards."
Gingrich argued in the interview, however, that he should not be viewed as a hypocrite for pursuing Clinton's infidelity.
"The president of the United States got in trouble for committing a felony in front of a sitting federal judge," the former Georgia congressman said of Clinton's 1998 House impeachment on perjury and obstruction of justice charges. "I drew a line in my mind that said, 'Even though I run the risk of being deeply embarrassed, and even though at a purely personal level I am not rendering judgment on another human being, as a leader of the government trying to uphold the rule of law, I have no choice except to move forward and say that you cannot accept ... perjury in your highest officials."
Widely considered a mastermind of the Republican revolution that swept Congress in the 1994 elections, Gingrich remains wildly popular among many conservatives. He has repeatedly placed near the top of Republican presidential polls recently, even though he has not formed a campaign.
Gingrich has said he is waiting to see how the Republican field shapes up before deciding in the fall whether to run.
Reports of extramarital affairs have dogged him for years as a result of two messy divorces, but he has refused to discuss them publicly.
Private life in the publicGingrich, who frequently campaigned on family values issues, divorced his second wife, Marianne, in 2000 after his attorneys acknowledged Gingrich's relationship with his current wife, Callista Bisek, a former congressional aide more than 20 years younger than he is.
His first marriage, to his former high school geometry teacher, Jackie Battley, ended in divorce in 1981. Although Gingrich has said he doesn't remember it, Battley has said Gingrich discussed divorce terms with her while she was recuperating in the hospital from cancer surgery.
Gingrich married Marianne months after the divorce.
"There were times when I was praying and when I felt I was doing things that were wrong. But I was still doing them," he said in the interview. "I look back on those as periods of weakness and periods that I'm ... not proud of."
Gingrich's congressional career ended in 1998 when he abruptly resigned from Congress after poor showings from Republicans in elections and after being reprimanded by the House ethics panel over charges that he used tax-exempt funding to advance his political goals.
