my number 1 issue is abortion and Newt would fight for constitutional protection of the unborn.
With Newt you are safe in the womb but fair game as soon as you take your first breath.
" Newt Gingrich suggested addressing the threat posed by the Iranian nuclear weapons program with “maximum covert operations” that could be denied later on.... Mr. Gingrich said the first part of his plan for Iran would be ”maximum covert operations to block and disrupt the Iranian program including taking out their scientists, including breaking up their systems.” “All of it covertly, all of it deniable.,” Mr. Gingrich said.
Both men (Gingrich and Santorum) were willing to consider the option of more direct military action in Iran.
“If, in the end, despite all those things, the dictatorship persists, you have–you have to take whatever steps are necessary to break its capacity to have a nuclear weapon,” Mr. Gingrich said."

It is terrorism, plain and simple, to murder citizens of another country, bomb them and destroy their factories and infrastructure, without declaring war.
Well, no problem Newt says, we'll just 'deny' it, lie about it in other words. And if the results of the 'maximum covert activities' do not satisfy Gingrich there remain other means - direct involvement of U.S. troops, both from the air and on the ground.
We must weigh the cost in lives and money, and the spiritual price we will pay in shedding blood unnecessarily, before we attack a country that poses little threat to the United States.
