There are many things that can be admired about Newt as a thinker/speaker and historian.
I am with the crowd that does not trust him as far as our sovereign nation goes. I am getting more and more dissatisfied with any institution who sees Al-Qaeda behind every bush so our individual liberties can be taken from us.
I am not big on sanctified water boarding ( been there done that it is not nice and the results are poor at best; guy can be puking and crying for his momma and still lying) especially since the passage of S-1867.
Like many if you want the same old stuff, vote for the same old politicians, with their same old agenda that they spout for votes; great sound bites.
I am more concerned with the president who nominates the next supreme court justice and someone who understands and is willing to support the founders ideas of the Constitution.

Don’t redefine Constitution with no individual right to arms
Over the last 50 years the Supreme Court has become a permanent constitutional convention in which the whims of five appointed lawyers have rewritten the meaning of the Constitution. Under this new, all-powerful model of the Court--and by extension the trail-breaking 9th Circuit Court--the Constitution and the law can be redefined, unchecked, by federal judges.
Anyone who thinks various Supreme Court decisions are not adequately worrisome need only look at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to see how domination by secular Left-liberal judges will change America. It is hard to imagine that one court could be so out of step with the views of the vast majority of the American people. And it is unforgivable that this destructive pattern could have been going on for a generation without an effective challenge.
Newt could be a great candidate but he has so many things in his closet that will come to light if he is the nominee we will just have to see if the voting public can accept him over President Obama.
Iowa is going to be closer than many have been lead to expect.
