Oh look a Rudy Guiliani drive by hit on Newt.

surprise
surprise

yawn.

Seems the wind is being dragged out of Rudy's sails. (shades of the Dean scream)

To know Rudy Guiliani's positions is to prefer another candidate.

rudy is in trouble if his MSM, NYC AP press pals have to do this.

REMEMBER FOLKS THE AP ROUTS ALL STORIES THROUGH NYC!

>>>Oh look a Rudy Guiliani drive by hit on Newt.

I was unaware the Dobson was a Giuliani supporter.

[longtermmemmory]

we should care about this because the AP is writing a hit piece for some reason.

The AP wants a subway election.

They want a contest between Hillary Rudy Guiliani Clinton versus Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Two identical lawyer liberals.

We should care because the MSM is attempting to circle the waggons to protect their own pro-homosexual, anti-gun, government only theology candidates.

[Proudcongal]

This is old news. Anyone who didn't know it already must have been under a rock the last several years.

[ItsForTheChildren]

Yes, character does still matter.

At least Newt has owned up to his failings and even done it publicly, with no equivocation. That takes a lot of guts and, yes, character. He didn't have to do it. He says he prayed about it and asked God's forgiveness. Do you have reason to doubt that?

If God has forgiven him maybe you could also consider it.

Oh, and I congratulate you on your perfection of character.

[new cruelty]

You make an excellent and undeniable point. Newt would be a formidable President were it not for his character flaws. And while voting for him would make us look like, as you stated, hypocrites or worse, dems; if he won, at least we'd be hypocrites with a conservative agenda!


Ok ok... I know. You're right.

[longtermmemmory]

look at the NYC source of the article.

We have NYC news distributors circling waggons to defend their NYC liberal candiates.

AP/Yahoo

all routed through NYC

Attention AP: Got any other old news?

This has-been was trotted out by the MSM almost a decade ago... even the typically uneducated liberal-types can tell you that Newt had an affair.

[BibChr]

You start off with a very worthwhile point; pity you go stupid after that. Though against my usual policy, I'll overlook the 75% stupid to respond to the good point.

I've read that an interview with FoTF comes out today, and I mean to catch it. Of course sins can be forgiven, and the fallen restored. But Clinton enablers also say he's repented, because he once said in the past that he had. However, it was unlike anything the Bible describes repentance, which actually produces confirmatory works.

So I'm interested to see whether NG TALKS repentance to get back in good with his base, or whether there's any fruit to attest it.

[NC28203]

Yes, but it was Newt's decision to speak to Dobson and have the interview broadcast on Focus on the Family that has made this a news event again. This was driven by Newt, not the MSM.

Gingrich married Marianne months after the divorce.


I think people are forgetting that important part. Clinton never divorced or left his wife over his affairs. (nor she for her rumored affairs)


Hilary Clinton stay married for her love of power. NOBODY in the MSM (ap/yahoo) ever mentions they live 100% seperate lives. When was the last time they just LIVED together? Clinton continues to "date" and the MSM only hints to the coverage.

But that is ok because her thighness is running for office.


Speaker Gingrich did pay the price for his actions, he paid in his divorce, he paid with his resignation.


Clinton lied under oath, wagged his finger, sent his friends out to repeat the lie, and only regrets a blue semen stained dress prevented him from tossing an intern aside with the rest of the bimbo erruptions.

Newt's time has come and gone. He is bad news. Too many are pushing for his rehabilitation. He has too many strings attached to be considered uncompromised. He has deeper character flaws than the grand canyon and is not to be trusted with domestic or foreign policy.

[ichabod1]

Exactly. This tells me more about his being serial about running for President than anything else. I've been thinking for some time that the signal he's running will be if he comes out and starts openly addressing the infidelity issues. Hey, it's ok for Rudy but it's not ok for Newt?

[Fawn]

He's holding a clownfish. How appropriate for this situation....

[ichabod1]

I don't know when that was taken, but if it's recent, another sign he's running will be dropping 40 pounds.

I was not aware that Gingrich resigned because he was having an affair.

[BibChr]

LOL

[ichabod1]

I can forgive infidelity in either Rudy or Newt. I can't overlook Rudy's positions on the issues, and if he tells me he's changed his mind on them I won't believe him. With Mr. Newt I believe what he says.

[new cruelty]

If I understand correctly, Gingrich married Marianne Ginther months after the divorce from Jackie Battley, which was in 1981. He resigned in November 1998 and divorced Marianne in 1999.

Newt is like a candy bar that will give you a great boost of energy, but you know isn't healthy. Sure, you'd eat an apple or an orange if you could just find the perfect one, but you can't, and that candy bar is looking pretty good. One of my many character flaws is that I've very little self control, so come November 2008, I just may vote for the candy bar.
