Clinton's impeachment wasn't on the grounds of adultery but, rather lying under oath. His fellow Democrats prevented him from being impeached but, he was disbarred for a time over it. Impeachment was the right action for Congress to take. The President shouldn't be above the law. Also, remember the reason he was under oath was because of a sexual harrassment accusation which Clinton ended up settling out of court.
Newt has apologized for his past transgressions and although I don't like his track record morally I'm not overly worried he will repeat offend in office. He is getting pretty old and has apparently behaved himself for many years.
What I like about him is that he has a lot of intelligent ideas and has a track record of getting things done by working with both parties. He also is willing to break ranks with other Republicans when he sees a greater good. His stance on illegal aliens is a case in point.
I'm truly concerned for the future of America as an economic and world power. I think Newt is their best chance of getting Washington moving again. He has got the experience which I suppose also makes him an insider but, I don't know if America can afford another President learning on the job.
Romney I could stand if he got the nomination but, I don't trust him. He seems to say whatever is safe. I don't know what his real convictions are. The only apparent one is that he wants to be President.
