Kee-Ryst

New GOP frontrunner Newt Gingrich has signed a pledge from Iowa social conservative group The Family Leader that forbids committing adultery, according to the political blog The Iowa Republican.

  Raw Story
Why not? He already got his.
The pledge has already been signed by Texas Governor Rick Perry, Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) and Rick Santorum. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) have said they would not sign the pledge.

[...]

Gingrich chose to sign today after initially declining to do so in August, when the text of the pledge claimed that African-American children were better off under slavery than they are today. That text has since been removed. He also vowed to uphold The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which prohibits same-sex marriage.
I guess the Iowans think Newt might have a chance, and a promise is worth removing a public pronouncement about slave children.  They can still believe it. 

They are, I suppose, right there with him on the issue of putting today's children to work.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
