In talking informally just to people I know, the first thing out of their mouths is Newt’s past — the three wives thing.
Even though half of all Americans are either or have been in their own pasts, complete tramps and/or are in divorce court for the fifth time, or know someone who is, they still seem to find it in themselves to judge this man for something he did 15 years ago, has received forgiveness for, and who is now SOLIDLY and HAPPILY married to his life partner, and who has become a member of the Catholic Church!
People just repeat the lines they hear ...Oh, yeah, and what about those three wives of his?? They just won’t let go of it.
They’re just total judgemental hypocritical idiots. I don’t know, but SOMETHING has to be done to illustrate to people that Newt and Callista Gingrich are HAPPY, their family is HAPPY, even that the the divorces are over and that it would have no effect on his governing ....which it WOULDN’T. Never HAS. Or, they need to subtley communicate ...judge not, lest ye be judged .... I’m not sure how it can be done, but there IS a away.
I think also Newt just needs to keep hammering on what he will do and how it will BENEFIT everyone — we hear about what he’ll do, but not how it would affect everyone.
People are just mesmerized by Obama — they are total morons, they have NO historial knowledge ...friends of mine are utter and complete DOPES when it comes to politics, history or anything. Yet, these same DOPES just whine and whine about high gas prices, the economy, no jobs ...they just CANNOT logicallly connect it to Obama because the Left has illogically taught them how it is “connected” to the Right — total lies.
Someone just has to break down those illogical connections in American’s feeble minds .. . it’s all in the marketing, I feel.
Of course, none of the people we talk to have ever had two divorces or any bitter ex-spouses. It's always funny that the people I have heard using this as an excuse are people with numerous divorces, live-ins, etc., in their own pasts. I guess if a person can't forgive themselves (or turn their lives around, as Mr. Newt has done), they can't believe somebody else could do it and make it stick.
