I think the point here is not that he is not a flawed person or that he should be President. I don’t support him for president either. But, after so much time, it turns out that the media was lying viciously about his first marriage. Of course that’s no surprise to any of us but it still is shocking and infuriating. But I’m not worried: MSNBC will cover this new development in depth, lol!
A few days ago, a Newt spokesman stated the "park bench ad" was about his debating GW with Pelosi and that he did NOT agree with her.
Funny, I recall specifically the ad and Newt was very clear he agreed with Pelosi.
More spinning by Newster who, as Speaker, always caved to Bubba Xlinton.
LOL!!!
1. Are you brain dead?
2. Are you illiterate?
3. If the answers are “no,” then you are out of the woods…But then, you did read my post; therefore, you don’t fall into the #2 category.
His "baggage" is his record as Speaker and his much more recent involvement with leftists regarding "global warming" and education. Didn't he do some sort of tour regarding education policy with Bill Ayers and Rev. Farrakhan? How can anyone even be in the same room with those evil people?
The truth of this matter has been public knowledge for years. She's still alive, and she knew of the divorce before she entered the hospital. However, the truth doesn't make as good a story as "he divorced her on her death bed."
Having said that, I still won't support him for President. He has too many things against him. But that's a matter for another time.
Finally the truth is told.
Thanks for posting this.
He’s still a political disaster.
Snuggling on the couch with Nasty and pimping for algore, did it for me too.
Prior I thought the world of him as a strong conservative voice that could help right this country.
Like many brilliant people, they have major issues with personal lives and people. Newt must have a demanding need for personal approval, why else would he have teamed up with that witch nasty peelouisi to push a leftist lie?
One of the basic differences between the Democrats and Republicans is that conservative core values are not dependent on vagaries of political fashion nor political expediency nor pandering to the electorate. In recent years Mr Newt has acted much more like the former than the latter.
Glad that story is clarified. it does not clarify his philandering though. And he back scuzzifava!
I don’t care about this baggage.
I care about the picture of him and the old bag on a couch in front of the capital.
Gingrich voted to establish the Dept. of Educaton.
“In the 1970s, Newt Gingrich voted for the creation of the Department of Education, which is a department that Ronald Reagan wanted to eliminate. A Department of Education was also heavily supported by several early socialists and Jimmy Carter. With programs like No Child Left Behind, it has led to a large decrease in the educational standards in public schools in the United States.”
This is incredible. Newt let this lie stand and be reported incessantly by the Dummies and their fellow travlers in the MSM.
WHY would ANYONE stand by and let this lie fester when a simple phto op of Newt and his x would have shut it down immediately?
I don’t think I know anyone that would sit by and let such a collassal lie go unchallenged. Newt has more problems than this for me however.
And Newt's pimping of that fake Republican Dede Scozzafava in the 2009 NY-23 election did it for me too!
I always had serious doubts about that ‘deathbed’ story. That said, Newt is still scuzzy and he had a habit of folding like a cheap-tent at the drop of a hat. I was unyielding in my disgust with Bill Clinton over his behavior, and there’s no way I’m going to give Newt any kind of pass. I’d never give him my vote under any circumstance, even in the wildly unlikely scenario he becomes the GOP nominee.
Newt will undoubtedly be the nominee.... and I couldn’t be happier. Do you guys ever listen to anything he says? He is not perfect, but he is infinitely better than anyone else running (or considering it), including Chris Christie. He had admitted backing DeDe Scozzafava was a mistake..... what else do you want him to do?
A year from now, all the Newt-haters here will be on board, and openly cheering his speeches, statements, debate performances, ideas, and attacks on Obama. Who else has the vision, charisma, clarity, and knowledge to rally the country around? Tim Pawlenty? haha.... Mitt Romney? Uggh.
The “divorced her on her deathbed” story has long been debunked. It has been irresponsible for people (including many conservatives) to keep telling it all these years. What’s new here is that this is someone from within the family writing this first-person account of the details. But I had heard long ago that the story that he cruelly told his wife when she was in the hospital for cancer that he wanted a divorce was false. Somehow the debunking never seemed to “take” among conservatives.
I’m no fan of Newt for president and wish he had not thrown his hat in the ring. But my reasons have nothing to do with this myth.
He’s scum. He couldn’t even concentrate when the GOP had a historic opportunity in 1990. Instead he was out chasing interns. He’s a creep, he’s a liar, he’s opportunistic, and he wouldn’t know a principle if it bit him on the rear end.
I will NOT vote for him.
