GOP's First Spouses Club (Newt's long history of infedelity)
NY Daily News ^ | 10/1/2011

Posted on 11/13/2011 7:06:30 PM PST by Ripliancum

Jackie Battley was Gingrich’s geometry teacher in high school. They secretly dated until they got married on June 19, 1962.

...In 1980, the couple separated after Gingrich began an affair with Marianne Ginther.

Ginther met Gingrich at a political fundraiser in 1981. Ginther is the daughter of a former Ohio mayor. They married six months after Gingrich divorced his first wife, Jackie Battley.

...Gingrich began an affair with House of Representatives staffer Callista Bisek in the mid-1990s.

...Newt began an affair with Callista while she worked as an aide for the House of Representatives. They continued their affair during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Newt headed the investigation into charges that President Bill Clinton committed perjury throughout the Lewinsky affair. Newt and Callista married in 2000.

You completely missed my point, and I don’t have the patience to connect the dots for you. Re-read the original post and see if you can figure it out.

If you look at one little snippet in a vacuum, it could look rather damning. However, when you look at the overall picture, things change. Newt has fought against Obamacare & IT’S individual mandate for 2 1/2 years as you would see at healthtransformation.net, one of his foundations.

Staying on top of things means looking from all angles, not just liberal rags, MSM, & from personal bias’.

Do yourself a favor & go to healthtransformation.net & tell me all the things he proposes that look like Obamacare. Consistent w/ Newt, there’s some pretty good ideas there.

Again, have you ever spoken to Newt, or do you “know” him just from what you read? If people just went off of what the read in the MSM, Reagan would have never been elected.

The laws of mathematics suggest that Newt Gingrich is currently having a secret affair with a 30 year old woman.

His first wife is currently 75.

He cheated on her, with a woman who later became his second wife, who is currently 60.

He cheated on her, with a woman who later became his third wife, who is currently 45.

Therefore, the laws of mathematics suggest that he is currently having a secret affair with a woman who is 30 years old.

lol, not this time. Callista has some VERY expensive taste. I don’t think Newt can afford to mess around on her. If he did, she’d take him to the cleaners and never look back.

It really isn't necessary to trash other candidates just because you support someone else. Honest.

FR had a wonderful poster named "Old Atlanta", who has since passed away, but knew Newt for many years. He also knew the inside stories on Newt's personal life which is something you are totally ignorant of so take your garbage and go somewhere else.

If there are issues you disagree with him on. Fine. But these personal smears are lies and make you look like a 25 cent James Carville.

That was Newt story, that he was hired to be a historian or something not a lobbyist. Where is this historian writing worth $300K? Beats me.

I think he description of it as a “model organization” tells us a lot more than whether he lobbied for them or was overpaid to teach a hisotry lesson.

Newt seems to be of those guys who are more interested in making government more efficient rather than shrinking it.

This is all I want to say how I feel and what is in my heart and let the Lord guide this nation not politics!

I believe there more of God’s children in this great nation that will do the right thing in spite of what politicians do

It is what is going on in the heart land that will open doors to lift the burden that has been placed upon us that is the cure.

Love thy neighbor as we love ourselves.

I’m Trying to Be like Jesus
With commitment

35395, Children’s Songbook, The Savior, I’m Trying to Be like Jesus, 78–79

1. I’m trying to be like Jesus;
I’m following in his ways.
I’m trying to love as he did, in all that I do and say.
At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,
But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers,

2. I’m trying to love my neighbor;
I’m learning to serve my friends.
I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come again.
I try to remember the lessons he taught.
Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying:

Chorus
“Love one another as Jesus loves you.
Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught.”

Words and music: Janice Kapp Perry, b. 1938

God you’re stupid! My point was that those things probably aren’t true, but thats the meme the liberal media wants us to recite. Oh, a retard like you doesn’t understand the word “meme.” I’ll try to dumb it down for you since your head is so far up your ass. My point was for Republicans to stop repeating what the liberal media wants to promote, and start attacking Obama. Is that clear enough for you, idiot?

I taught the lesson in the Nursery last week and the theme was about learning to say “I’m sorry”. The song was “I’m trying to be like Jesus” - it was just wonderful. CTR Sis.

Here's some background:

While in high school, Gingrich began a relationship with his geometry teacher, Jackie Battley, who was seven years (or nine years, depending on who is talking) his senior. (According to Gingrich’s second wife, the relationship with Battley began when Gingrich was just 16.) They married in 1962, when Gingrich was 19.

We just threw a teacher in jail here in Ohio (Stacey Schuler) for what happened to 16 year old Newt Gingrich. Schuler got 4 years.

I watched one of the mothers in the Schuler case on TV. She was crying because she said the woman had injured her son in ways that wouldn't be known for years.

There is no good reason for a high school teacher to be carrying on in secret with a minor.

Contrast this with Newt, who as recent as a few months ago agreed with the odious big-government, unconstitutional Obamneycare edict to force everyone to buy health insurance. Does that sound like someone with small government principles to you?

Your comment is incomplete. This is exactly what Gingrich said:

I agree that all of us have a responsibility to pay- — help pay for health care. I've said consistently we ought to have some requirement that you either have health insurance or you post a bond....snip...

In, in the first place, Obama basically is trying to replace the entire insurance system, creating state exchanges, building a Washington-based model, creating a federal system.

Two things about what Gingrich believes:

1. People shouldn't get a free ride that enables them to walk up to a hospital, get care, and walk away leaving the bill to everyone else.

2. States (not the fed) should require everyone to have health insurance or to post a bond, so that people can't just leave their hospital bill to everyone else.

Both of those principles are conservative: (a) you pay for yourself and (b) those requirements should come from your state.

I don't believe that people should be able to walk away from their legitimate bills. That fact does not mean that I support ObamaCare.

Why should your state be allowed to require you to post bond or have insurance: because most hospitals operate with state aid accounting for some of their funding.

So, if you're going to use my gas pump in your car, you're going to have a valid credit card that's verified before that pump begins to pump gas. Makes perfect sense to me.

In the last few years I have learn so much and my understanding has jump leaps and bounds.

It is so important in ones prayers to ask the Lord those things one does not understand.

How the world deals with issues is so vain

but the Lord approach is so assuring and complete

How does the mandate forcing people to buy insurance become “better” by moving it to the states? Smells like Mittens trying to justify Romneycare. It’s still tyranny.

If the validation of auto insurance requirements is that you are using state highways, then the validation of a requirement that you have health insurance would be when you enter a state-supported hospital.

As with driving on highways, you don’t have to drive.

Nor do you have to use hospitals that receive any kind of state money. You can go to the chiropractor or the herbalist.

Ronald Reagan didn’t cheat. His wife divorced him because he was staunchly standing up against the communist parties attempt to infiltrate and control the actor’s union, and he and his family’s life were endangered...and she wanted him to back down. Jane Wyman, unfairly accused him of “mental cruelty” to obtain a divorce in 1948.

...he's a RINO and I wouldn't trust him for dog catcher much less the presidency. He's down near the bottom of my list of eligible *cough* Republicans just before Ron Paul. Romney at the very bottom, of course, tied with Giuliani for when hell freezes over.

BUMP!

Ditto!
