DUMBO OF THE DAY
and of course to put a damper on the historical vote for gay/marriage equality in NY,
NEWT GINGRICH weighted in-
INDIANOLA, Iowa (Reuters) – Republican presidential contender Newt Gingrich on Saturday said the adoption of same-sex marriage in New York showed the nation is "drifting toward a terrible muddle."
Saying he thinks marriage is between a man and a woman, he told reporters that he "would like to find ways to defend that view as legitimately and effectively as possible."
He said he thinks the nation should be defending the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage ass being between a man and a woman.
In February, the Obama administration decided it would no longer defend the 15-year-old law.
"I think the president should be, frankly, enforcing that act, and I think we are drifting toward a terrible muddle which I think is going to be very, very difficult and painful to work our way out of," he said.
Speaking at a Tea Party bus tour event in Indianola, Gingrich said mass resignations among his campaign staff stemmed from his "fundamental disagreement" with consultants.
"Our campaign is going to survive and I'm going to be in it all the way and I believe I can win it... because people want substance more than baloney," he said.
A former aide said the differences mainly involved the staff view that Gingrich should campaign heavily in the early primary states and Gingrich's view that he should instead go on a Greek cruise with his wife.
Gingrich told the Tea Party crowd he is the kind of leader who "will cooperate" but "not compromise."
newt's sister CANDACE GINGRICH commented- "my brother has always been a dick."
just kidding.... i added that last remark-rick
what candace did say was this-
"the truth is that you're living in a world that no longer exists. You should be more afraid of the new political climate in America, because, there is no place for you in it."
open letter to newt- nov, 2008
