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.

Let me guess. You support Mitt Romney.

Good guess.

I support Cain, and Newt is pulling support from him.

That said, as a Mormon, I don’t hold Mitt’s faith against him like some do here, and I will be supporting whomever gets the nod, even it it’s Newt, or Mitt.

Nothing wrong with Romney if you can overlook a few to tens of thousands of innocent babies murdered in the womb on his liberal watch in Massachusetts. And still being murdered today, but now the tax payers are footing the bill thanks to liberal/socialist/fascist RomneyCare. Then there’s gay marriage helped along by Romney when he ran and governed to the left of Ted Kennedy. And gun control. And big government mandates. And liberal/progressive judges and appointees. And support for unconstitutional TARP, bailouts, stimulus, etc. If you like this kind of liberal/socialist/Marxist/statist progressive crap, you’ll love Romney.

Reagan-Bush?! I was an independent during Reagan-Bush! I’m not going back to Reagan-Bush! (Spit, sputter!) —Mitt Romney

Newt is now a 68 year old grandfather who has admitted he has made mistakes in the past. And here you are digging up old black and white photos that are supposed to be incriminating for some reason, all the while pretending that the abortionist Romney is as pure as the winter snow.

I said nothing about Mitt, nor did I dig up photos. This is a article on all the spouses of the contenders. I like Newt’s politics a great deal, but if one can’t be faithful to the oath made to a spouse, time and time again, I worry how can one be faithful to the oath of office.

The baggage worries me.

You shouldn’t. You only have to live with your own lying self.

"Gingrich began an affair"
"Newt began an affair"
"They continued their affair"


Should also be a litmus test for voters. /s

I’m confused. You say he began an affair with Ginther in 1980 but then say he met her in 1981.

I know his track record isn’t the greatest but look at it this way: in today’s world, he would be considered a victim - teacher taking advantage of him while he was her student. So, a good analyst might say his problems stem back to that.

That’s what I was thinking, they are looking better all the time.

If Being a bad husband has anythng to do with being a bad President, then we have had some that make Newt look like an Angel.

Newt makes the others runners look like idiots.

They can’t hold the light for Newt to run by in debates.

I want a man who can rip Obama to pieces and doesn’t mind doing it, The rest of them seem to be mute on Obama.

Good evening Sir

I was expecting to see the obligatory
"good luck starting your own website because that is what you will need to do if you continue to pimp Romney here?"

Ronald Reagen never sat on a couch with Nancy Pelosi.

That would make you a “concern troll”, no?
