The gay half-sister of Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich slammed his position on gay rights on Wednesday and said she will support President Barack Obama, a Democrat, in the 2012 election.

Candace Gingrich-Jones, a gay rights activist, told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow that she and her older half-brother, the former speaker of the House of Representatives, were "mutually respectful" but disagree on gay rights.

"He is definitely on the wrong side of history when it comes to those issues," Gingrich-Jones said.

Would you be more concerned if she endorsed Newt?

My liberal siblings are pro-Obama too, and would be if I were running.

[Obadiah]

D’Oh! Bwahahahahaha!

No one is typically his/her brother's/sister's keeper.

But, we've known about Newt's HALF-sister for years...it's just the MSM's attack-o-thon on whomever is the Republican front runner...at least the ones they know have a chance of getting the most votes.

Just like with McCain, the left knows the right will mostly reject Romney, thus is their best chance of getting the occupier-in-chief of being re-elected.

Needs a good eyebrow waxing. Heh....

Did you GAF what Ronald Reagan’s first wife thought of him running for President?

[hummingbird]

[diverteach]

Reagan had a gay sonn.
McLame has a queer in the family.

as the old saying goes, “ you can choose your friends but you can’t choose your family

The first word is “give”. Flip can be substituted for the last word.

This ugly goofball has just made a good point for more Conservatives vote for Newt..Get ride of the fags and send them to another planet,also send the liberal with them..Which one do you think would live through it if they were put together?

[classified]

If anything it will help Gingrich among the Conservative republicans and anyone who is against Obama getting another term. Heck it shows that he has convictions even if it goes against some of his families interest.

Or, Elton John’s half sister.

“He is definitely on the wrong side of history when it comes to those issues,” ..................................... With all the real problems this country NOW faces, we have to worry about their one agenda? Sorry but there are no 100%’ers in Politics. Right now “ITS THE ECONOMY STUPID!” and a strong national defense, we are going to need it soon enough. There is a sh*t storm brewing and we better be ready. What happened to the cities of Europe in WW II will hit us here, as predicted by by grandfather after WW II ended.

She’s also the one who “married” Ross’s gay ex-wife and her lesbian lover Susan on the first season of “Friends”. The ceremony didn’t bother me so much (because it was long before gay marriage was an issue, it was just a ceremony for the couple) as I did that they went out and got Newt’s sister.

[trisham]

Oh, no! This is terrible!

Should have read postings before posting the Elton John post.

D’oh!

[RockinRight]

Well, the full acronym is IDGAF, which stands for I Don’t Give A F(lip).

You know, I may just have come around on an issue, after all.

Abortion SHOULD be legal.
