The man you're swooning for is a serial divorcer. He knows NOTHING about one of the most important institutions in this country.

Would you say the same thing about Betsy Ross or Rush Limbaugh?

You do know that it takes two to tango in any relationship, let alone marriage, and that some of them don't work out, for various reasons? You do also know that marrying another without first getting a divorce finalized is against the law (bigamy) in most states, and that the marriage is usually long dead before the final divorce papers are signed?

Before relying on Wikipedia to find an unbiased political biography (i.e., it may have chronologically accurate but possibly not entirely true account) please see:
Jackie Gingrich Cushman : Setting the Record Straight (about my dad's first marriage) - FR, 2011 May 15

I see an interesting dissonance on this and similar threads about Gingrich and his wife - the people who are accusing Gingrich of [allegedly] somehow "mistreating" his former wives (by divorcing them after their marriage fell apart and remarrying) also fault him for defending his wife against cowardly lying rumor campaign by the al-media?

BTW, getting a "high-limit line of credit" at Tiffany or at any other issuer ("affinity credit card") or department store (to consolidate debt or for purchases at just about any place that would accept the card or the cheque) is completely different from actually buying $500K worth of jewelry... not that there's anything wrong with that either, if one can afford it. Reminds me of attacks on Sarah Palin's wardrobe bought during McCain's campaign.

You don't have to swoon over a candidate, politician, businessman, everyman or his/her family to defend them against charges which are blatantly unfair and politically motivated...

...and, then there's Newt's conversion to Catholicism from Southern Baptist.

Two divorces, 3 wives, swapping religions...sounding a little Henry VIII'ish isn't he?

Can this guy even spell loyalty?
