With the Republican race heating up I think it's time we stopped joking around. The candidates that are running are simply not acceptable, but with everyone complaining about Obama it seems like we might have a Republican president come next November. The Newt however stands above all in his pale glory. Some of these political stances made me laugh, but as I went on I remembered something. Newt Gingrich is the front runner for the Republican nomination which is, to be frank, frightening. How is it possible that someone with as many outrageous views as the newt has is able to even be in congress? Then I thought to myself again. I said, "self are there any other candidates that make outlandish statements like Mr. Gingrich does?" The answer is yes for all of you watching at home. Even in these early stages of the race we have seen the rise and falls of such superstars like Herman Cain and Rick Perry with the unearthing of the sexual harassment case and the whole being crazy thing respectively. Perhaps Newt is just a flash in the pan like so many others. Hopefully America can smarten up and choose a candidate that is right for the country and not just some jingo nutcase that caters to special interest groups. Until then I'll be in the corner with my Ron Paul 2012 button.
Justin Elliott writes a humorous yet insightful article by unearthing some of Newt Gingrich's "most outlandish positions". His bias is quite obvious considering what he is writing about, but Elliott delivers just the facts and lets the reader come up with their own thoughts. Which I'm sure went along with his because let's face it, if you're reading something like this, you obviously aren't the biggest fan of the right. I would give Elliott's article a 4 out of 5 star rating. Only because there is no conclusion.
Article: A look back: Newt’s most outlandish positions
I like that you concluded with the fact that Elliot doesn't have one.
