Newt Gingrich, as Life Coach, Offers Success Story Based on 5 Principles

I will admit to admiring Newt Gingrich as an ideas guy. He's full of them. Many are really quite good, too.
On the negative side, has there ever been a better head more in need of a decent body? As a life coach Newt really ought to work out more. He also ought to lead an exemplary life if he thinks "coaching" anyone else possible apart from moral shortcomings. And then there's the overreaching. Newt never quite mastered the matter of limitations, his career in the House capped by a massive failure in recognizing his own.
Chutzpa. Now there's something Newt can coach anyone on.

Gingrich is such a big hypocrite. He's on his third marriage. He served divorce papers to his first wife while she was hospitalized and being treated for cancer. His are principles I can live without!!

But Newt is not my hero, or anyone I really even want to listen to. If he had his way, the rich would be richer, the poor poorer and your Supreme Court would be completely controlled by corporations---a constituency never imagined by your founding fathers.
That's what "conservatives" bring about for your country. That's what Reagan was about.
That's what the "contract with America" was about.
