He's made promises like this before but backed out at the last minute. The uprising in Yemen, the poorest Arab country, has been going on for nine months. Yemen, please learn from Egypt. (AP)

Well I have to say Newt has impressed me. I dislike Romney immensely because he's just pushing buttons and not trying to lead. At least Newt is proposing interesting ideas and not merely following or playing off the fear that certain section of the Right Wing likes to play. And yes I agree Newt is intelligent unlike Perry. I have no idea about Romney, I sometimes think he is just a robot programed by focus groups.

"Gingrich said he favors pathways to legal status for illegal immigrants who have lived peaceful, law-abiding, tax-paying lives in the United States for many years.
"I don't see how the party that says it's the party of the family is going to adopt an immigration policy which destroys families which have been here a quarter-century," Gingrich said in the forum, televised on CNN. "I'm prepared to take the heat for saying let's be humane in enforcing the law."

Newt's "sanity" platform is just another designed to appeal to romney voters who worry that he wont be able to compete for independants in the general.
given these recent developments, this video needs to be updated:

And Romney's just going to be like the gay homophobes who overcompensate by hating, and we'll have 4 years of someone who will overcompensate in trying to prove he is a right wing conservative.
As seen with their deceitful spin of Newt's reasoned immigration stance (though Newt's inclusion of church attendance as a factor was pandering).

“Newt Gingrich supported the 1986 amnesty act, and even though he conceded that was a mistake, he said that he was willing to repeat that mistake by extending amnesty to immigrants who are illegally in the country today," Romney adviser and spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said in the spin room following the AEI/Heritage Foundation debate in Washington, DC. “Mitt Romney is against amnesty, and Newt Gingrich made it very clear he was for amnesty.”
I followed up by asking Fehrnstrom whether Romney believed in deporting those immigrants who are already here illegally.
“He doesn’t believe in granting them amnesty,” Fehrnstrom responded.
That started a back and forth exchange worthy of Abbott and Costello, as Fehrnstrom kept continuing to drive the "no amnesty" point home, and I tried to get more details.
By the way when Mitt said Mitt was his real name what was he thinking? Does he not know his real name? Is it a situation like Paul McCartney where the real Mitt passed away years ago and they've replaced him with a clone programmed by focus groups?
"Most Inexcusable Inaccuracy: After Wolf Blitzer quipped that "Wolf" is his real name, Mitt Romney replied that his first name really is Mitt, which is not true. It is Willard."
