I think you are are giving just too much importance to what a lunatic like Newt Gingrich is saying. This guy's biggest funder happens to be a passionate Zionist and it is expected that he will just say those things. No big deal.

It is a pity that the American system continues to throw up nutcases such as this with a pathetic rate of frequency.

Another point here is that , this whole US presidential election and all is probably the biggest soap opera in the World. The lobbyists have decided well in advance who is going to be the next president and it does not matter with them what people like you may post on this forum or what Dr, Pipes want to say.

Make no mistake , this whole concept of Western democracy seems to me a super ball game , whose result have been fixed one month prior.

Love to know the view of you on the irrelevance of the American voter on this.
