It says much about the transformation of the Republican Party that even Newt Gingrich is now carrying the cross.

When Gingrich came to power 15 years ago, his Contract With America was a document of fiscal conservatism that mentioned God only in passing. When he led the impeachment of Bill Clinton a decade ago over the Monica Lewinsky affair, Gingrich was involved in his own longtime extramarital relationship with a former aide, who is now his third wife.

    A chameleon can't change it's appearance any easier than Gingrich can reshape his political career on religion. An opportunist can dump earlier principles and embrace new ones whenever convenient to fool the gullible public.

    Typical ad homenim attack. Drag out red herrings and label a man with a lot of innuendo about what he believes. Lets look at Obama. He claims to be a Christian but his early years were in an Indonesian school here he went to the Muslim side of the school. Then when he converted to Christianity he went to an very anti American Church where the biased and bigoted Black Liberation Theology. His friend and mentor was the Rev Wright.

    "In a now-famous 2003 sermon, Wright charged that an ingrained, abiding racism in American society is at fault for many of the troubles African-Americans face, and he thundered, "No, no, no, not God bless America! God damn America — that's in the Bible — for killing innocent people.""

    This and many other disgusting things Obama subjected his family to. Oprah Winfrey went there for a while and quit. Obama stayed there for 20 years.

    So explain to me why we should not attack Obama over this again and again??? What is good for the gander is good for the goose.

    LOL
