Exclusive: Gingrich Lacks Moral Character to Be President, Ex-Wife Says
ABC News ^ | Jan 19, 2012 | Brian Ross

Posted on 01/19/2012 7:51:00 AM PST by jefferson31415

She said when Gingrich admitted to a six-year affair with a Congressional aide, he asked her if she would share him with the other woman, Callista, who is now married to Gingrich.

"And I just stared at him and he said, 'Callista doesn't care what I do,'" Marianne Gingrich told ABC News. "He wanted an open marriage and I refused."

Based on that picture, I heartily congratulate Newt for making the decision to upgrade.

“Santorum for President”

Opportunistic weasels team up with Romney and the MSM to pump their fading candidate by using trash.

Because we all know they would never do the same with Rick, right?

For all of your moral righteousness, you sure know how to align yourself with some real scumbags.

Buh bye Newt, thanks for playing.

Newt said the field should be narrowed in order to stop Romney. Ask and ye shall receive. Perry is dropping out. This will toast Newt.

Santorum vs. Romney... (yeah, I know Ron Paul is there for the kooks).

wow. She’s her own worst enemy. Imagine what she looks like without the makeup?
People will see her for what she is....angry & bitter (not that Newt didn’t treat her like dirt)

Newt’s track record with women is abysmal. See link listed below for all of Newt’s sordid sexcapades:

“But Marianne was having problems of her own. After going to the doctor for a mysterious tingling in her hand, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

Early in May, she went out to Ohio for her mother’s birthday. A day and a half went by and Newt didn’t return her calls, which was strange. They always talked every day, often ten times a day, so she was frantic by the time he called to say he needed to talk to her.

“About what?”

He wanted to talk in person, he said.

“I said, ‘No, we need to talk now.’ “

He went quiet.

“There’s somebody else, isn’t there?”

She kind of guessed it, of course. Women usually do. But did she know the woman was in her apartment, eating off her plates, sleeping in her bed?

She called a minister they both trusted. He came over to the house the next day and worked with them the whole weekend, but Gingrich just kept saying she was a Jaguar and all he wanted was a Chevrolet. “ ‘I can’t handle a Jaguar right now.’ He said that many times. ‘All I want is a Chevrolet.’ “

He asked her to just tolerate the affair, an offer she refused.”

For all the lurid details of Newt’s sexcapades, not only with his 2 ex-wives, see:

It’s like a flashing light goes off in these women when poll numbers go over 25%. Or, are they given other incentives to squeal?

So, Marianne, how big of a check did Mitt send you?

Does Wife No. 2 has a husband No.1?

Seriously,Wife # 2 can’t complain. She did to Wife No.1 what Callista did to her.

Besides, I’m not trying to elect a Pope.

I want the person who can best beat Obama.

I don’t care about Newt’s past.

I care about America’s future.

No, Marianne's been saying this for years. Many weren't listening. Now they are.

As much as I may believe this is true, and that I also believe that I don’t think Newt is the best choice, I am soooo pissed at this government and the MSM establishment I am disposed to ‘cut off my nose to spite my face’ and to vote for Newt Gingrich in the Georgia Primary. He’s my guy from now on....

I look forward to Newt pasting Obama’s ass all over the debate stage (whenever Obama can summon up the balls to debate him).

I look forward to the GOP masses ignoring MSM’s plaints about Newt’s this an that, countered with the masses’ “that’s old news” and “it was just sex” crap.

I look forward to Newt picking a real kick-ass running mate of unquestionable integrity.

I look forward to seeing Obama being investigated for crimes against American Citizenry (this is where I hope Newt lives up to his reputation as a revengist)......

Vote for Newt!!!!!!

“Gingrich was voted out of the speakership by the most conservative congress ever for a reason."

That most conservative congress included Hastert and Boehner each of which were listed in “Throw Them All Out” for sweetheart land deals, insider trading, and using their positions to benefit themselves.

Speaker Gingrich-led Republicans….the result: * Voting on each of the Contract with America items * Four consecutive balanced budgets * Over $400 billion of debt paid off * Major welfare reform accomplished * 11 million new jobs for America * Unemployment falling to under 4%.

For all of your moral righteousness, you sure know how to align yourself with some real scumbags.

Nothing I posted was about my righteousness, or lack thereof. You projected that. It was a logical argument on the consequences of floppy moral principles. In fact, the insights behind what I wrote were based in my own journey to lean how to tell an ever better truth. As far as I am concerned, G_d Himself and alone owns that capability.

An effective liar believes in what he is saying at the time. Clinton did it by subjective definition of terms, "is" being the most famous example. Obama does it by thinking his statements applicable only in terms of 'his people' as supposedly the dispossessed. Newtie does it by aligning himself with the university elite adhering to their (albeit Marxist) ideas about truth, anthropogenic global warming or biodiversity being prime examples of such a cause celebre outweighing conservative principles in his mind.

Liars attract liars, in Newt's case, this includes people who want so badly to win that they'll explain away anything (and yes, I'm referring to his youth). Enjoy your fantasy.

Maybe Newt meant an open door marriage...where he opened the door and ran away as fast as he could.

Yeah i’m sure all the soccer moms around the country will just laugh it all off. You know, tnose indepentd women voters, im sure they won’t care one bit. Especially the over 50% of them who have been through a divorce themselves.

Yeah, we all know all of them divorces were the evil work of the male, and all of them were unchristianlike, and all of them were the fault of Mr. Gingrich.

Burn him! Burn Him!

Santorum is our savior!! Yeah!

Get a grip dude. Watch how the big leagues are played over the next few days.

Thought never crossed my mind in 35 years. I sleep too soundly and she would cut off the air to my cpap or just slash my throat. Nope, I’m stuck with her and I know to maintain low tones. :)
