Not just CNN. Now ABC has jumped into the argument. Front page news all over the web right now. Combined with his $ 300,000 fine from Congress for dirty political tricks, this may end his run for President.

Mr. G also has major problems with a disgruntled former spouse. He was a serial cheater. He belongs on Jerry Springer not in the White House. In my humble opinion, Mr G is hot buttered toast covered with strawberry jam . . .

Why did the media NEVER ASK B.O. about Larry Sinclair during the 2008 elections?

Why did the media NEVER ASK B.O. about his relationship with William Ayers during the 2008 elections?

The msm hypocrisy is ASTOUNDING!!!!

I saw a best of SNL show last night and it had the skit from 2008 (Sarah Palin was on the show) which had Amy Poeler rapping at the end. While funny, I remarked how NOT ONCE did SNL poke fun of B.O. during the 2008 election. NOT ONCE!!!

The commies at CNN don’t seem to have a problem with Slick Willie’s “open marriage”.

TRUTH!!! I thought about that yesterday. Remember how the REAL issue was with X42 lying under oath, yet the media kept howling “It is just about sex. NO BIG DEAL!”

Yet now, sex is a BIG DEAL and they are all holier than thou. They disgust me beyond belief!

They are BLATANT in their protecting of B.O.

This was Newt’s shining moment! You can be sure he gained some new supporters with that response.

He wagged his finger at the camera and said “Now you listen to me, I did not have sex with...”

No wait, THAT WAS CLINTON!!!!
And the media had NO PROBLEM with any of it.

If ABS, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX, et al were even vaguely interested in “context” they would have mentioned that Marianne Gingrich was with Newt Gingrich prior to Newt’s divorce in his first marriage.

As one poster here on Free Republic says, she’s the “other woman” who doesn’t like it on down the road when there’s another “other woman”. Was she practicing “open marriage” when she and Newt were hanging out together before his divorce that enabled her to be with him? Or would she call it just whoring around?

It’s pure hypocrisy for her, but also for the media.

All you need to know about Larry Sinclair is in the book he wrote that alleges a homosexual relationship with Obama. It is at http://www.amazon.com/Barack-Obama-Larry-Sinclair-Cocaine/dp/0578013878

I was a bit surprised that after Newt said “I think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run of for public office and I am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that,” that King didn’t respond by referring to Newt’s own behavior during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. He wasn’t urging restraint on the part of the news media at that time. In fact, he was one of those who most loudly condemned Clinton. People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones...What goes around comes around...and so on.

Until we get out of the business of looking into everybody’s sexual behavior, it’s going to continue to bite us in the xxx. And Newt was right. It does keep a lot of the most qualified people from running for public office.

"Why is Bain Capital hurting free enterprise by donating almost exclusively to Democrats?"

There are so many unknowns embedded in your question that I am hard pressed on where to begin.

Maybe it is because Bain is located in the eastern seaboard. Companies there tend to be filled with wishy washy liberals.

It may be due to companies' need to ameliorate draconian or unfair aspects of the tax code. People (both companies and individuals) have the right to petition their government. But I would agree that money of this sort does lead to greater corruption. But on the other hand, the McCain/Feingold Campaign Finance is definitely not the answer.

Maybe it would help if you could document specifically who did what for which particular favors?

Bain Capital Political Donations

There is the link. You will note that they are a top donor to the Democratic Party and have donated over $350,000 to the DNC and the DCCC for this political cycle. With capitalists like that, who needs socialists

"Romney did some good w/Bain, but people DID lose jobs in the process."

And why would you condemn Mitt for that? It is a natural part of free enterprise. Would you expect horse and buggy manufacturers to stay in business and never lose jobs? Should we prevent new innovators from coming on the scene because they will hurt existing companies?

"Nobody lost their job because Newt married the wrong woman."

This is an idiot statement. Newt is on his third marriage. He was two-timing in the first two marriages. He has proven himself to be a selfish pig.

Morality was a critical part for the foundation of the American Revolution and the establishment of the Constitutional Republic. The biggest reason America is in deep trouble is because of our immorality.

"Just making the point, that’s all....not trying to start a fight."

I appreciate that. But it is very important that you think carefully about what you say and avoid buying into the confusion that the Alinskyites are engineering thru our ranks.

"Have a great day.....and may I suggest decaf?"

You too. I'm a Mormon. I don't drink coffee or even soda pops. I am disappointed in Mitt's wishy washy liberal components in his political philosophy. But he actually does have several conservative convictions. For this reason he is definitely much better that Gingrich who has proven to be a cynical player on both sides of the aisle.

"With capitalists like that, who needs socialists?"

I took a look at your link. It really does not answer any of my questions that I posted to you previously.

Are you trying to smear Romney because of the lobbying decisions of Bain principals?

We know from history that the "insiders" help fund the Bolshevik Revolution. Does this condemn the American free enterprise system?

NO! The people just need to be more informed and vigilant in taking back our government from the so-called cronyists and those that are pushing us toward one world government.

Yes - I am smearing him for being an adviser to, investor in and founder of a company that donates overwhelmingly to Democrats.

And just so we are clear, you do acknowledge that Bain Capital donates overwhelmingly to Democrats? As an example, they are a top donor to Al Franken and when Anthony Wiener was still in Congress they were a top donor to him. Would you agree that you don't get more left wing than donating to Al Franken and Anthony Wiener.

The media, mac daddy and the entire dumb-o-cart parties only choice is to attack, they have NOTHING to run on.

They have all this information, as documented by the media, on Republican candidates but the voters do not even know what grades the POTUS had in school., etc., etc., etc..

Whatever.

Mitt was a non starter with me the moment he signed the RomneyCare bill.

All I really want is for this race to NOT be over before Super Tuesday.

Atleast that way my vote would actually matter.
