Since I started this thread, Newt came out with a statement that he would consider some form of amnesty for illegals (under the heading of family values?). So, I guess I will have to rethink my opinion that he could be a great president.

For me, it comes back to the issue of him not taking care of his health. He might already have coronary artery disease or diabetes. If he's not conscientious about taking care of his own health, how can we trust him to do his best in caring for the health of this nation?

Can amnesty for lawbreakers be justified by invoking family values? He sounds like he's turning into a "compassionate conservative." Remember, the last time we voted for a compassionate conservative we got "Medicare part D".
