Five reasons not to support Newt Gingrich for President

  1. He’s for invading foreign countries to fight “radical Islamists,” except when he’s not.
  2. He suggested instituting the death penalty for drug trafficking in the 1990s.
  3. He supports ethanol subsidies as part of a “low-cost energy program”, which may include a cap-and-trade system, or maybe not.
  4. He’s strongly opposed gay marriage as a threat to traditional American values, which no doubt played a vital role in his three marriages (and extramarital affairs).
  5. In 1994 Gingrich claimed “People like me are what stand between us and Auschwitz.”  He’s right, you know: he probably would be a guard at the front gate.
