Yeah, it's not Newt's fault he was an adulterer, several times over, through more than one marriage. He's changed now! You can trust him this time.
My husband is from South Carolina and I know that the social values voters in this state particularly count forgiveness from God and repentence and turning away from sin as something good not bad. Speaker Gingrich has admitted sins in his past and has "turned over a new leaf"--especially with his conversion. He may not talk against an obviously vindictive woman who *suddenly* comes up with this story, but his two daughters have told a different story from the one of second--wife and I believe that they have even gone so far as to ask for false statements to be removed.
This article shows that the South Carolina voters gave Speaker Gingrich a standing ovation after the debate moderator opened the debate with this old marital issue:
Gingrich Slams CNN for Marriage Question, Gets Ovation
Yeah! Besides he only did it because he loved his country so much.
That statement right there tells me all I need to know about Newt's repetence.
"Baby, it's not you..I can't help myself baby...I still love you, it's just that I love my country too much not to try to sleep with all of the women who happen to live in it..."
That's really clever, actually. They say he's quick-witted, you do have to give him that.
I pay money to see Ron Paul do that instead.
and this is typical... Clinton can't be a man-harlot but Newt can...
Ricky Martin did his best to join the sluggers but just didn't pack enough of a punch.
I find it amusing that Calista Gingrich, who was Gingrich's mistress from 1993 until she married him in 2000 or 2001, inspired him to become Catholic. What kind of Catholic was she?
Okay, so you support "open marriages" where a spouse is allowed to just go sleep around, and you don't care much about 'family values' or the 'sanctity of marriage'. Good that we got that on the record. That explains your support for an egotistical serial adulterer who is obsessed with sex and power like Newt Gingrich.
Not to mention the fact that for all his genital excursions, the man's still married. And not to some airhead bimbo.
John Barrowman.. for some eye candy purposes. lol.I think they should add random actors and singers to these debates. That'd be swell. Preferably someone like Stephen Fry, who can talk anyone under the table, but anyone will do really.
Liberal, lol!I find it amusing that Calista Gingrich, who was Gingrich's mistress from 1993 until she married him in 2000 or 2001, inspired him to become Catholic. What kind of Catholic was she?
That being said, I think I am different from a lot of you OBOB'ers. Most of you put the sexual sins up at the top of the list in determining character (and that's what conservative clergy seem to do, too.)
But I quantify.
As far as I can see, Romney, who has a good marriage (and who also had a wife with MS that he didn't dump) hurt millions of people through his policies at Bain Capital. My hubby lost jobs in companies taken over by investment bankers...so did a lot of our friends...and family members.
What's more, he thought GM shouldn't have been bailed out--and that would have lost 2 million jobs (while his fat cat banker friends would be salivating over the pieces of GM lying around.)
Gingrich's sexual antics don't hurt me one bit. They never hurt my friends or family members one bit.
Not like investment banking firms have.
Of course, if I were voting in the South Carolina primary, I would be voting for Herman Cain (Stephen Colbert.) He's Catholic. He's the youngest of 11 children. And he makes me laugh.
