Doesn't matter, they are going to air it anyway, and he can't spin it.

You are rich girls, but you've gone too far 'Cause you know it don't matter anyway,
You can rely on the old man's money, You can rely on the old man's money,
It's a bitch girls, but it's gone too far, 'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money, but it won't get you too far, Get you too far

how original...

This whole interview is nothing but a media sponsored anti-Gingrich ad. Under election law they should be providing Gingrich equal time to rebut what is said in this interview. Also, to air an interview with a bitter ex-wife and try and pass it off as a news program is a joke. ABC News is making it so that she can basically say anything she wants with no one there to challenge the veracity of any of it. A bitter ex-wife can hardly be viewed as a credible source of information. I am not condoning or supporting anything Gingrich has done in his personal life or how he has treated his spouses. I am only pointing out that what is being done is to present a completely on-sided view instead of the balanced approach one would expect from a news program.

Methinks Newt's on the raw edge of terror here. I can't wait.

@JS re:

Here's a candidate whose party runs, in part, on a "family values" platform. You don't think it's fair to discuss whether or not that candidate lives those values?

ABC News is making it so that she can basically say anything she wants with no one there to challenge the veracity of any of it.

Fox does that all day, every day. Are you concerned about that?

Sorta like getting Swift Boated, yeah, but you know - swords do have two edges. Hurts like hell when that other edge cuts off your....

Just you wait until the Bain Capital Super PAC gets its hands on the footage. It will run every half hour on all networks leading up to the primary vote. Newt knew better than to attempt this run for the Presidency. By the way, President Obama will have no problem defeating Dimwit Mitt in November. Once everyone finds out about his "let them eat cake" attitude and the truth about all his off-shore accounts to shelter his "income" from US taxes.

i guess this is what happens when a guy cant keep it in their pants. the old saying is true- "two people can only keep a secret when one of them is dead". this couldnt have happened to a nicer guy [sarc].

What are you talking about JS in SD? Reagan killed the fairness doctrine--there's no equal time anymore and hasn't been for a long time.

Let also Remember that the Dough boy was cheating on wife number Two while he was railing for impeachment proceedings against then POTUS Clinton!

The Hypocrisy of this fat scumbag is never ending!

Please nominate Newt Please nominate Newt Please nominate Newt Please nominate Newt Please nominate Newt...

oh sorry I was just praying.

So what is the real purpose behind this ? It's easy .... to sling as much mud at EVERY potential Obama challenger as there may be out there. The timing is rather contrived also .... right before the South Carolina primary where Mr. Gingrich is looking pretty strong. The Obama re-election campaign strategy is now in place...... attack, disparage, distort, contrive, belittle, besmirch, confuse and assault all who will dare to challenge Obama ......... because Obama's record is so dismal as President, they must earnestly strive to make everyone else look worse.

It kind of reminds me of the movie "The Sting". Even that involved Chicago style deception !

Eighty-four ethics charges were filed against Gingrich during his term as speaker. After extensive investigation and negotiation by the House Ethics Commitee , Gingrich was sanctioned $300,000 by a 395–28 House vote. It was the first time in history a speaker was disciplined for ethical wrongdoing.

This is the Republicans candidate for president? Wow talk about the inmates running the assylum.

He gets elected, I am leaving to anywhere other then here.

How? How? How is he still relevant?

Please tell me.

maybe he should have lived by the Golden Rule, seeing as how his daliances are now going to come home to roost.

"attack, disparage, distort, contrive, belittle, besmirch, confuse and assault all who will dare to challenge"....... isn't that right out of the Republican and Karl Rove's playbook?

Eighty three of those charges were later dropped. You forgot to mention that , didn't you ?

Newt should have renamed all of his wives 'Next'....it would be easier to remember their names and avoid any embareassing moments

@JS in SD

Under election law they should be providing Gingrich equal time to rebut what is said in this interview.

Gingrich had enough time to talk about "family values" in the 25 debates they had so far. I think this interview is a rebuttal of what Gingrich has claimed in those debates.

@J.Scott,

Eighty-three of the ethics charges and pending IRS charges were all dropped when the Newtster agreed to pay the fine, step down as Speaker, resign from the House, and NEVER RUN FOR ELECTED OFFICE AGAIN. When the GOP changed the House ethics rules in order to try to save Tom DeLay in a similar situation, they made it so that you could not require that someone never run for elected office again. It didn't help DeLay but it did change the playing field for the Newtster.

The major ethics violation centered around efforts to try to get his current mistress, Callista, a low-level Congressional staffer, a no-show high-paying job at the Dept of Agriculture.

BTW One wierd aside is that the Newtster has expressed, over and over, that once he marries a woman, she can never testiufy against him in court. That is an urban myth. The law generally is that one can not COMPEL a spouse to testify unwillingly against a spouse --- they can testify willingly all they want, and very frequently do.

Jim,

they dropped the other 83 in a plea agreement, they had many more also but deemed it was unecessary after filing 84 ethics charges. It is amazing the extremes Pubs will go to defend an admitted scoundrel

I am a staunch Independent and have no love for Newt, but I think airing this kind of family bitterness is tacky. Would any of you want your ex husband or ex wife getting on Network TV and voicing to the world all the bad things about your marriage?

I guess I am sensitive to this, as my ex husband did basically that. Not on Network TV of course, but he aired to everyone who would listen all the problems of our marriage, and of course that they were all MY fault. I just feel that there are things in a marriage that should stay THERE. Things that go on between a husband and wife that should not be public knowledge.

I see no need of it, and will not watch it.

Who calls their father, Newt?

Well the difference is your ex didn't run for commander in chief of the free world, on a platform as a self-righteous moral crusader whose whole purpose is lecturing OTHERS on how to behave. For those of us not in the American Taliban right wing, saying "i've moved on and am sorry if anyone took offense at anything I've ever done" doesn't exactly burnish your credentials for higher office.

Jim... About Obama and slinging mud at the repub candidates... He doesn't really need to, the repubs are doing a pretty good job of slinging at each other. About 83 dropped.... maybe so, but some stuck.

Generally... seems to be a lot of fear in the air. with all the pre-damage control and the screaming about how one-sided the coverage is, before even airing. Without all that, I wouldn't have cared about the interview, normally could care less about Gingrich, would not have even considered watching, think he is a has-been who's time is over w/o a real chance at prez- now it has caught my interest, am setting the timer on my set as we speak.

I'm with Janine!!

I guess I see right through this "political dog & pony show". Pay an ex-spouse a six figure "fee", so they can vent...I mean "tell the truth". Come one America...it takes two to tango and I for one don't care about what happened in his failed marriage.

BTW...with divorce rates close to %50 in this country I guess half of us can not speak to "family values", (sarcasm). So lets not go there either.

I think what the media is doing to the candidate is despicable

I think what the media & the radical left is doing to the candidates & especially Newt is despicable! Let the people decide for themselves who they want to vote for. Everyone knows that an ex-wife of ex-husband is not going to have anything good to say about the other one! The important issues are never brought up. It's always something negative to try to influence the voters . A dog is better than Obama!!! You should be ashamed to try to discredit anyone before an important election! Who cares what an ex-wife has to say! She's nothing but a vindictive ex that has probably been paid big bucks to tell her sick & sad story to make Newt look bad. Does any of the media have any feelings or shame? How would any of you feel if someone did this to you if you were in his position? I'm sure it would be different if the shoe were on your feet. The media & the extreme leftist have all gone to the dogs!!!

Janine,

I agree for private individuals to have this type of privacy. But when you run for president everything is on the table. I would rather have the people know and choose not to listen then for no information to ever get out.

how soon we forget about Bill Clinton, and he is consider one of the best presidents of all time. This is just the left trying to control the election. ABC is a joke. Gingrich is the best person to get us out of the mess we are in.

Wow the king of mudslinging gets testy even before he knows whats in the show. He must know what she thinks of hi rotten arse.

Just in case you forgot what a pig Gingrich is! (and I think he treated his treated his first wife and children even worse than this one!)

"Gingrich won't say 'anything negative" quoted from the article:

this'll probably be like the "positive campaigning" he was supposed to do: when the former wife says something negative about Blingrich, he reserves the right to "tell the truth".............................lol

Hey, Roy, don't you think it is a wee bit over the line to be noting Obama's "White" ex-girlfriend from his college days? Really, why in the world is her race relevant?

"Our father is running for President because of his grandchildren"

Luckily I was on a plane when I read this and the barf bag was handy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am only pointing out that what is being done is to present a completely on-sided view instead of the balanced approach one would expect from a news program.

Gingrich's hero, Ronald Reagan, ensured that "fair and balanced" news reporting was deep-sixed with the deregulation of news media by his repeal of The Fairness Doctrine.

Basically: tough @!$%#, Newt.

for both parties, the action we take have consequences, deal with it.

some hated how the media played out Clinton's action, too bad/too sad.

Today, too many Americans live their lives through the lives of other (note how reality tv is so popular) and the airing interview will be another media circus for all to waste their time watching....

have a good week

Everything is on the table when you run for President? REALLY? then where is Mr. O's school records, his harvard records, his freaking REAL birth certificate.... this "man" is president and we still don't know about "HIS" past..... please.

This is the media doing whatever they can to eliminiate any challenges to the big "O". Cain was a serious threat, they threw down the guantlet and dug up the past in order to "convince him" to quit.... now the next biggest threat,,, they are doing the same thing. MOST of the American public sees the media as the dog and pony show they are. They aren't about NEWS anymore they are about entertainment.

I have the ability to turn them off and hope that their ratings fall, so does the rest of the American public. We need to show our ability to choose, by turning off programs like this. If the American public limits the media's ability to make money by doing these stupid dog and pony shows, limiting their revenues they will stop.

The American public needs to take a stand. We did it with credit cards, (after being hoodwinked by the banks) and we've done it in the past for companies we found out were doing bad things.... (Dolphin free tuna anyone??)

We just need to do it more often.

I for one won't be watching, (but then I haven't watched ABC, NBC, CNN, or even FOX News for quite a while having realized LONG AGO they were all "entertainment outlets and not a news outlets"... )

Why were the charges even tabled in the first place? Everything this guy has his hands in comes out tainted and scewed to his advantage no matter what the cost to the american public.

According to financial disclosure forms released in July 2011, Gingrich and his wife had a net worth of at least $6.7 million in 2010, compared to a maximum net worth of $2.4 million in 2006. Most of the increase in his net worth was because of payments to him from his for-profit companies and his affiliation with Freddie-mac.

Probably advising them on ethics.

That wasn't a letter as much as an insult laden campaign speech written to take cheap shots against the President of the United States. You shouldn't talk crap about anybody while you're begging someone to NOT drop crap on you. With that nasty tone, I'll be sure to be watching the TV interview and listen to what exactly his ex-wife is going to say, although it already sounds like the ex-wife won't be voting for Newt.

Tony,

That would be stooping to your level.

No Thanks

j. scott---i'm with you---if newt is elected i will use my dual citizenship and move to ireland. once again the repubs have shown us that they will support anyone no matter his lack of character to gain the white house. i am repulsed by his statements regarding food stamps ---if newt should win he has done a masterful job of fooling the public!

Does his kids even know who their real mom is?

TO: jim-1455434 who wrote:

"Eighty three of those charges were later dropped. You forgot to mention that , didn't you ?"

If you have no concern about 83 Ethics violation charges were brought against Newt, then the guy is just ok with you whether he's a crook or not, but to act as though others who are alarmed at that many abuses are somehow the ones who ought to be ashamed of themselves, that's how twisted the Republican mentality is at times.

Almost all of the charges against Newt were dropped in exchange for him leaving the House of Representives and, of course, leaving the Speakership. The most eggregious charges remain.

Now does that help give Newt any credibility? I don't think so.

Obama / Biden 2012

Gingrich ex-wife claims he sought 'open' relationship, candidate won't say 'anything negative'

I guess they haven't offered him enough money yet. Maybe they should talk and pay the ex-wife some money to spill the goods on Nutty Newt.

Hey Tony, us liberals had to listen to rightwingnuts sling sh"" about the birther issue for years now. So, we get a little smug when the King of Family Values wants to swing in an open marriage. Oh well. Too bad for the teabaggers.

loyalsubject

What are you talking about JS in SD? Reagan killed the fairness doctrine--there's no equal time anymore and hasn't been for a long time.

I'm a strong advocate of the old Fairness Doctrine, but I have to correct on this count.

Sections 312 and 315 of the Communications Act of 1934 govern equal candidate access. That law still applies.

Section 315 [47 U.S.C. §315] Facilities for candidates for public office.

(a) If any licensee shall permit any person who is a legally qualified candidate for any public office to use a broadcasting station, he shall afford equal opportunities to all other such candidates for that office in the use of such broadcasting station: Provided, That such licensee shall have no power of censorship over the material broadcast under the provision of this section. No obligation is hereby imposed under this subsection upon any licensee to allow the use of its station by any such candidate. Appearance by a legally qualified candidate on any –

(1) bona fide newscast,

(2) bona fide news interview,

(3) bona fide news documentary (if the appearance of the candidate is incidental to the presentation of the subject or subjects covered by the news documentary), or

(4) on-the-spot coverage of bona fide news events (including but not limited to political conventions and activities incidental thereto),

shall not be deemed to be use of a broadcasting station within the meaning of this subsection. Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall be construed as relieving broadcasters, in connection with the presentation of newscasts, news interviews, news documentaries, and on-the-spot coverage of news events, from the obligation imposed upon them under this Act to operate in the public interest and to afford reasonable opportunity for the discussion of conflicting views of issues of public importance.

some hated how the media played out Clinton's action, too bad/too sad.

Yes, but I seem to recall that at the height of the Clinton sex scandal, his presidential approval rating kept improving. No wars, and the economy was doing quite well then.

Baddog 40 - great post and geat point! When they defend their dad they are really pi--ing on their own Mother! Wonder who raised these girls? if my dad had treated my mom that way i would have nothing to do with him or his wh--res and neither would my children. the difference here folks is that while Bill Clinton's actions were dispicible and so were john Edwards (even more so due to his wife's cancer - oh wait, newt had that thing going for him too, right?), newter was quick to press charges on clinton while hw was engaging in the same behavior. Now that's rich, I don't care who you are, and it is open fodder for anyone who wants to discuss it. i plan to watch the interview, can't wait, but I do have to question the credibility of any woman silly enough to lay down at night in the same bed as a republican - ugh, what a nasty thought!

I guess she didn't see the lack of morals when she had a relationship with Newt when he was still married. She's a hypocrite and a Romney plant.

Who cares? This doesn't change that we indies don't want Mitt Romney. Romney's ken doll veneer is cracking. I'm for Ron Paul, but South Carolina, don't hand Romney a win.

What a non issue. The only reason this woman is coming out is to appeal to her own self serving drive for the camera.

Focus on issues. Period. And then let the voters decide. (Hint....It's the economy stupid).

The difference between Clinton and Gingrich is Clinton did not run on or belong to the party of supposed "family values". Clinton did not try to impeach Gingrich while having an affair himself. But Gingrich's own party filed and voted for his ethic violations and basically kicked him out of the house of representatives.

Well if everyone thought like Gingrich does, you fire the janitors and put children to work, fire your wife and put the bimbo to work...

Amazing that the evangelical far right are behind this kind of thinking... But then again, all one has to do is remember all of the religions righteous that have fallen before our eyes... Pedophiles, wife cheaters, drug abusers and on and on...

cdahl: A non-issue? From the family morals candidate running for preacher in chief of the extreme right wing of his party??? NOW you want to move on??? Good luck with that non-issue stuff...from the no new ideas party.

She looks like a drinker - and who wouldn't be, having to put up with that man??

Newt Gingrich: A man who's own integrity regarding family values are so suspect that he actually presided over proceedings scurrilously digging into President Clinton's infidelities while engaging in his own. A serial adulterer, who perhaps can only keep his third "solemn" promise to be faithful because he's now a 68 year old man.

These daughters present themselves as having standing on the basis of "family" but what is being discussed in the interview is not their family, but rather a family that Gingrich entered into after cheating on their mother. While they may have some standing with regard to discussions about how their father betrayed their mother, they have no special standing with regard to discussions about how their father betrayed other people, and their attempt to invoke such standing is ridiculous.

The only person this interview reflects on is Marianne. And it certainly isn't a positive reflection at that.

strange that the ex, just now tells that story, guess she didn't get enough money from the divorce!! will we ever know how much she made from this"didclosure??

AP,

I really don't care. What Obama/Gingrich does in their spare time does not affect me personally. It doesn't increase/decrease our sales results, it doesn't reduce/increase my property taxes, it doesn't increase/decrease unemployment. And it was over 14 years ago.

In fact, it affects me the same as it would if you had an affair. Or my neighbor.

That being said, I can't vote for any of the (R)'s left. But my vote is based on policy, not based on whether an ex-wife that cheated with a man, and got cheated on has a personal vendetta to air, and is being used by ABC News for the sole reason to get viewers. While I don't agree with Newt's policies, I do agree with him when he replies to ABC that this is a decade old issue, and we need to focus on what Obama did in the last few years, what the Democrats did, what the Republicans did, and where the (R) candidates stand.

I'm disappointed that people would actually vote for who did what to an ex-spouse 14 years ago. So, I'll repeat. To me, her coming out and being used by ABC.....a non issue.

The only person this interview reflects on is Marianne.

On the contrary, it reflect very negative on Newt Gingrich. Not that he's a serial adulterer, necessarily, but it reminds us that he sat there overseeing his party's cynical and salacious invasion into President Clinton's infidelities at the same time that he was engaging in his own. It's not the lack of family values or his lapses in fidelity, as much as it is his lack of personal integrity.

I'm with you aarpmom. The media's choice is not working for me either. The fact that Romney said he will wait until April and then "probably" release his tax returns is enough for me. How could we possibly elect someone who has that much to hide?

Newt's a scumbag. I don't see where he is even relevant. And Santorum is a bible-banging, war-mongering meathead. So I can't see him getting elected either. Ron Paul is the only sane choice for a presidential candidate.

To all those complaining about the "timing of the interview" and questioning the fairness of ABC running this piece... IT'S POLITICS! All the candidates, and all of the Super PACs, are playing dirty politics. And that's just business as usual... stop whining (both sides do it; always have, always will). As they say... "If you can't stand the heat...". Also remember this old saw... "If there's smoke, there's fire". Mud-slinging is not a bad thing either. Once all the mud is thrown the garbage will fall away, leaving a much more clear (honest) view of all candidates. Our system of electing leaders has been the most successful on the planet for a reason: It works! Participate or get out (see "Michelle Bachman", "John Huntsman", and "Rick Perry").

JS "A bitter ex-wife can hardly be viewed as a credible source of information."

nor can a lying, cheating ex-husband...and HE IS RUNNING FOR POTUS.

why is it that she worries you more than him? she's not running for POTUS ya know.

I'LL TAKE ANY ONE OF THE GOP CANDIDATES, THEY ARE ALL SERIOUSLY FLAWED...

and so far, im loving the stuff the Super Pac's are putting out, Newt's 30 min documentary on Romney will be very helpful in the general election...

Even more hilarious if Romney gets the nod, and picks Newt as his VP...brilliant, just brilliant!

The Obama re-election campaign strategy is now in place...... attack, disparage, distort, contrive, belittle, besmirch, confuse and assault all who will dare to challenge Obama .

Yep...this is all Obama's fault.

What I want to know is how anyone could possibly find this man attractive?

Clinton wanted an open marriage too! In fact, he "did it" in the Oval Office. The lefties didn't have a problem with that.

TO: cdahl who wrote:

"What a non issue. The only reason this woman is coming out is to appeal to her own self serving drive for the camera. Focus on issues..."

I can't help but see that the "issue" here is that Newt is waaay short on ANY type of moral "values" and has a long-standing history of being "all for himself and otherwise uncommitted", even when he made promises AND commitments to the contrary.

The "self-serving behavior" on Newt's part played out in both his personal AND his professional life.

I think that is the issue, and an extremely valid issue when you have a guy who's running for the most powerful office in the world where he could quite easily "serve only himself".

Obama / Biden 2012

Fairness applies to candidates, not ex-wives.

As far as airing the family's dirty laundry, I'd normally say it isn't relevant ... UNLESS the candidate is running with family values as part of their platform. Then, this type of information is fair game.

I'm fascinated by Calista's being OK with the open relationship. I wonder if she still is?

Party on Newt!!

Newt said myTiffany account was for my Hog ?

To all those accusing the left wing of this outing

Remember the smear job on McCain in SC by GWB? The right are really good at eating their own. Frankly, I think the ol' Slimey Romney and his hacks are behind this.

Newtie Patootie is one sad character - immoral, unethical, etc, etc. Will definitely not cast a vote for him. My choice is Paul. Think that if he does not get nominated, he should consider an independent run.

I have this theory. The Reps did not put their best foot forward (lack-lustre field) so that Obama will win. Their reason for this is that if they got the White House, and they failed, it could destroy the GOP. So, yeah, they are running scared.

I guess Newt never told his daughters that he had a little problems with ETHICS and used their college funds to pay $300,000.00 in fines.

That's it Newt train those grandchildren to Love the America you Love, Full of Ethics violations, corruption, backroom deals, stealing, cheating, and then the way to point out faults in others.... You are a real role model!!! Thanks for the memories!!

Wow, Newt owned Curry on that interview. I don't blame Obama in wanting Romney to get the nod rather than Newt. Newt would destroy Obama in any debate and Obama knows it.

I think you GOP brains may have found your man. He is a hypocrite, loves to flounce, offers half baked apologies, insults his opposition by describing himself, and spends all his time spinning in a closet. Touchdown. This guy is the definition of what is wrong with your party, so naturally you will embrace him.

Newt's conservative values draws flies ?

@ American Girl

Read 1.60. TO ME, a non issue. I think that there are better things to concentrate on than something that happened 14 years ago. Pure and simple. Perhaps this is watered down TO ME because I wouldn't vote for Newt.

And I have a problem with ABC News using this woman for the sole purpose of ratings. And question her motivation for coming out now.

But if you want to run with the whole moral angle, may I assume that you also turned Anti-Clinton when he had an affair in the oval office? (FYI, I didn't take issue with that either).

Tea-bagger

I have to agree with you on one point. A person's personal life should not have any bearing on his professional outlook.

Except that this was the man blowing his horn and waving the flag against Clinton and his escapades while in office. While the whole time he was asking his wife for an open relationship. Upon not being "granted" full immunity to proceed with his own polyamorous lifestyle, the man dumped her and during one of the most trying times of her life. What a guy.

Do you see the irony there?

You know what? Vote for him go right ahead.

I don't care and I'm not going anywhere. I think its you that should probably go to where you are welcome. Here is the link

to the moron whe brought up Obama and his supposed undisclosed past, seriousy? in this day and age, do you really think that if there was even a single person in the entire world that had information regarding his 'real' birth certificate, or anything else for that matter, that they wouldn't have come forward with it by now? hello? with all the people out there willing to make a buck in exchange for information or looking for their 15 minutes there is not a chance in hell that would happen. give it a rest already. if there was something, anything, in his past it would have come out by now.

to the other moron that commented on the president living with his 'white girlfriend', racist much? so he lived with his girlfriend? was he married to Michelle at the time? or is the problem that she was white? like his mother? you do realise that America is one of the few countries that still frowns upon mixed race marriages? that's right. free thinking America will condemn a black/white couple for being black and white.

and to the other narrow minded nitwits calling the democrats mudslingers, are you freaking kidding me? see above. you and every other republican't are still slinging at Obama. 3 years into his term and you can't let it go.

we live in a country where we have the right to vote for our president. if who you voted for didn't win get over it. try again next year. but just because you don't like them, be it for their politics or thier skin color, doesn't mean that you shouldn't have respect for them. i am a registered dem, but on election day i will vote for who i think best reprisents me and what i want for this country. personally, i liked Reagan. i thought Bush Sr. was an insincere puppet. loved Clinton. thought Bush Jr. was an idiot incapable of speaking a sentance without making our country look like a bunch of uneducated hicks. Obama? i voted for him because i couldn't stomach the McPain ticket. has he been the best president we've ever had? i guess that depends on who you ask and who they are comparing him to. has he been the worst? probably not. the truth is, i can't imagine why he wanted to run. who in their right mind would have wanted to step into the mess that Bush jr. left us in?

She sounds like a bitter, vindictive ex-wife.

If you have been divorced, one side or both are bitter

This is a hit piece because Obama and the MSM are worried about Obama anti-America policies.

Actually Terry-Ca, the evangelicals put their support behind Santorum. Nice try though.

I bet if his ex-wife had an affair, he wouldn't be so happy about it.

Palin said my man Newt is a good guy with good family values that America can be proud of Newt / palin 2012 This is a vote that would destroy us as a Nation - Guaranteed.

DUDE-875416

. Newt would destroy Obama in any debate and Obama knows it.

If Vegas would take bets on this, my money's on Obama - 100 to 1.

I think that Newt is an idea guy, which is great and interesting, but he has an ego the size of the US. He routinely will implode on himself. Romney is right. His latest ad isn't vicious, but factual. I strongly dislike how Newt treated his wives and frankly I do not think he is particularly sorry for that behavior. There is always another gal waiting in the wings so he won't be alone.

Recently Clinton was asked about Newt. It was all Clinton could do to not throw up. It was clear his intense dislike not finding anything to say positive. However, what is it that he disliked? Clinton and Newt have a lot in common. They both threw their families routinely under the bus. It isn't just wives that get tossed, but also the children are forced to watch the drama and feel the pain. If it is a trust issue or the fact that Newt plays with the facts, so does Clinton every day. Clinton is a very likeable guy. Newt is not. That is the difference and why Clinton gets the pass.

Some years ago, at a book signing when Clinton released his book, my son happened to be in that location that day and saw the throngs of women throwing themselves at Clinton. It is no wonder he strayed so often. Women always think their relationship with a serial cheater will be different. So they think they are special, which of course they are not. The only thing that stops a serial cheater, and thus a serial liar, is for them to eventually die. That behavior is in their DNA.

I can appreciate Newt's ideas and often his candor, but I would never trust him. I voted for Clinton btw, and felt betrayed by his parsing of words which essentially was lying to voters.

Maybe the answer is to attach a lie detector to each candidate and of course to Obama that is a master of saying nothing in order to cover up what is really going on.

Who cares about any politicians' sex lives, as long as the activity involves only consenting adults? These are private matters. Our middle school-level culture needs to grow up and shift its focus to grown-up things -- such as a corrupt and broken economic system, endless wars, a decaying infrastructure, and a largely uneducated population.

That said... What woman in her right mind would want to see Newt Gingrich with his clothes off? EWWW! My inner middle schooler wants to cry.

With no reporting by the media on John Edwards affair and love child, no one should believe what this lying media says now.........

The Kennedy's had an "Open marriage" in the White House.

Palin is breast feeding Newt for the run, that's a mouth full of a Endorsement. I think Palin is looking for VP ?

jim-1455434

The Obama campaign strategy is now in place...... attack, disparage, distort, contrive, belittle, besmirch, confuse and assault all who will dare to challenge

Aw hell, Jimmy! I thought you were talking about the GOP's activity for the last three years..! Wah haw haw! That's a real knee slapper there. You really got me that time, Jimbo! Wheeeww... :-D

Palin's endorsement will destroy Newt's run, Farewell ?

ABC is just like NBC, nothing more than liberal anticonservative anti Republican propaganda machine. I never saw them attack Clinton like this, and he admitted lying to Congess.

Its not so much as that candidates lie. They all have aspirations and good ideas but once they hit Washington the realities of the system juxtapose any reality of implementation.

Thats just how it is.

I don't like Newt Gingrich, and I won't be supporting his bid for the Presidency this year.

But, I would like to know why we get such fastidious coverage of what his ex wife says, now. When we couldn't get s single by-line about Obama's relationship with a Federally Convicted Political Racketeer (Tony Rezko), and an admitted Domestic Terrorist (William Ayers) who blew up government and commercial buildings, and private homes; and who's friends MURDERED two security guards and a POLICE OFFICER?

Why do we get so much coverage about what a bitter ex wife says.

But No coverage at all on how a President of the United States could have such close associations with two such scumbags?

THROW THE FREELOADERS OUT!

DEMOCRATS FOR ROMNEY 2012!!!!!!!!

Rorschach- I bet if Vegas took bets on anything if Obama win a second term we will have a country in ruin and no way out.

The colonoscopies will continued to be delivered into every facet of each Repubican candidate's lives and any possible flaw will be played over and over again like a broken record.

Yesterday on this website someone wrote that nobody has ever seen Mr. Obama's college transcripts. I went on Google last night and they are not available for public viewing because the president has continuously refused to allow their release.

How many times have we been told by the media and his supporters exactly how smart Mr. Obama is supposed to be ? He certainly acts and talks like he believes he's lightyears ahead of the rest of us, intellectually.

Were his college grades just so unbelievably high that the president doesn't want to appear to be bragging about them ? I'm sure some on this site would swear on their lives that that is the case.

Or maybe before the 2008 election, Mr. Obama didn't want the rest of the nation to have any notion that maybe he just wasn't as smart as he and his supporters were making him out to be.

There wasn't much follow up reporting on a number of things from the president's past, to the surprise of nobody.

I guess digging into a candidate's past is only important if there is an (R) after the candidate's name.

1970 = It's the war, stupid

1980 = It's inflation, stupid

1990 = It's deregulation, stupid

2000 = It's the economy, stupid

2010 = It's Obama, stupid

Just wondering when the stupid will take some responsibility, since stupid is always an integral part of every one of these statements.

When one consistently seeks out blame while continuing to shoulder no responsibility, then maybe it's just the stupid... stupid.

Obama/Biden 2012

Politicians seem to be very active sexually. I think it's mostly just power f_cking/sucking.

The utter hypocrisy of Newt is astounding--presiding over the Clinton impeachment exactly when Gingrich himself was shacking up outside his marriage; his constant debasing of gay marriage while he has abused the concept of marriage horribly.

People actually want this cretin to be President??? NOT ME!

Wow Kristanann! I think you must be my doppleganger. Either that or you're able to read my mind. Well said!

If Vegas would take bets on this, my money's on Obama - 100 to 1.

Only if Obama uses his teleprompter, otherwise, he is toast.

Obama a man of character,Bill Ayers weather underground, Reverend Wright, GD America, Healthcare for everyone oh except all his friends who knows it's a piece of crap, Bush policies are wrong, except for all of the ones I still have in place, unemployment won't go above 8% oop's, I'm all about jobs BTW here's your food stamps, excuse me Iran can we please have our spy drone back, oh I'm not bowing I dropped my contact on the floor, is there a corpsman around to help me. I'm all for the poor...to stay that way.

So much good stuff here... I think it is very nice of Newt not to go "negative" about the wife who he cheated on and screwd over -- very sweet guy -- anyways.. Normally I would agree that a private person's past marriages etc should in deed remain his/her personal business -- if that is , he was not running for President and take the so-called "hign-road" on values and the truth and wanting to talk about his past record. Since he is running for the public's vote for the highest office in the land ==everything is fair game here --as proven by what the GOP canidates have been doing to each other recently. Besides, how would any of you here feel if this kind of thing was done t oyu by your spouse??? Clearly his ex wife has an ax to grind with Newt ...and she is angry.. but I don't know if she is being paid "six figures" to do this interview. Does this interview hurt Newt? Sure -- it could -- but again, it is part of his record/and if you can still bring up Bill Ciltons past misdeeds here (who is not running for anyrthing)-- why not Newt? As far as the "fairness doctrine" -- and any exceptions to it -- this lady is NOT a candidate running for office --so it does not apply. --as much as this is a "rating getting" ploy -- of course.. Look @ day time TV --the viewer eat up this stuff -- as far as it coming out just before the SC primiary.. welll.. when should it come out? If this was a court of law and I was being tried for a crime I committed againist you when would the wittnesses speak? --when would the evident would be presented? --during the trail -- Before giving the case to the jury for verdict. Then you let the peole decide. Many here think it's only OK to attack those you don't like -- but it is totally unfair to bring up the stuff your guy did wrong (" Sure i might have mugged your grandmother lin 2007 but why bring it up now? That was years ago!") lastly, ABC news is not in Obama's back pocket -- if it was you would never hear any negative news about him -- which clearly you do -- Seems it is OK for "fair & balanced") FOX "news" to attack people and make up stuff -- but it is totally out of line to talk about what really happened with the real peole that really were there? Give me a break!

Newt's unusual perspective on morality and family values is way out of sync with the average Joe.

According to wikipedia, Newt's first wife was his high school geometry teacher. They married when she was 26 and Newt was 19.

If his second wife's allegations weren't enough of an albatross for him, people might be looking more closely into the circumstances involving his first wife and their relationship while he was an underage high school student.

Newt's morals are not my morals...his ethics are not my ethics.

Go home, Newt.

With all the collapsed posts on this thread, it isn't hard to see how many of you people would have no problem eliminating the first amendment!

What a bunch of mindless sheeple.

Well Republicans didn't think it was an "issue" to put 2 oil men in the White House and look what a big mistake THAT turned out to be, i.e., those 2 OIL MEN ended up burrying us in debt just so that they could go drill oil in Iraq, which "just happens" to be the 2nd largest oil field in the world.

Nowadays, things matter a bit more to some Americans, such as myself, because I have seen the kind of damage that can be done if you turn a blind eye and deaf ear to folks who do have real issues.

Obama / Biden 2012

........................."Throw the Newt book at Palin, She is Crazy as a Bat"

Well hey, at least the GOP can hang its hat on the fact that he was having multiple sexual encounters with someone of the opposite sex!

American Girl, is that you in the Picture ????????????

Everyone who thinks bonking a slut while married to an MS patient is cool, then divorcing in favor of the slut who by the way wears a helmet, vote for Newt.

There are always two sides to any story and this interview only shows one side. Besides, this is much ado about nothing that is related to the Presidency so why is it relevant except for those that just want any negative to use against Newt's nomination and eventual competition against Obama. Family issues are just that ... family issues to be worked out between those involved and not debated and analyzed by the Public at large. Kennedy was a known womanizer. Clinton provided he had no respect for the Oval Office. There are countless example son both sides of the aisle and in both parties, but none of these activities really matter unless they are shown to demean the office of the Presidency while they are in office. What people did in their relationships in the past have no bearing on what how they will govern in office. It is just that simple! But MSNBC will try and try to make this more than it is ... an-ex-wife giving a bias interview about how she viewed their divorce. I am glad to see Newt is not responding in kind! We have a broken government. Let's keep focused on who the nominee will fix that issues that impacts us all!

Why would anyone believe this woman who has reason to Lie? She was the old bag that agreed to have an affair behind the back of the older first wife!

She is just looking for a pay-off $$$$ because no one else would give her a second look.

This is her unproven allegation, and she is no upstanding citizen herself.

Sorry Senior but you're missing one critical aspect of this: Gingrich was practicing infidelity himself while he led the Republican Party's invasion into President Clinton's infidelity. So not only does Gingrich draw especial attention due to his own serial infidelity (remember: he did it to two wives), but he draws especial attention due to the self-righteous nature of the invasion of privacy that took place under his leadership. In a word, he proves himself to be a hypocrite due to his lack of public integrity, not just lack of private integrity.

Newt is nothing more than in insane lying pig who thinks with his crotch. How could anybody with a brain even consider this disgusting person as a leader of this country. just listening to the crap flow from his mouth makes me want to throw up.

Janine-1645002

"I am a staunch Independent and have no love for Newt, but I think airing this kind of family bitterness is tacky"

Thought the same thing about all the right wing attacks we have been seeing over the years. Right now anything seems to be fair. Blaming progressives for a republican fight is stupid. Who is to gain from these revelations? Only one person and that is Mitt. Usually when you swing over to blaming your opponents for everything so you do not have to show your lack of judgement in policies you end up eating each other and that is what is happening right now. The republicans are in a winner take all fight and the Democrats are sitting back laughing. Anyone even believe his daughters wrote that crap? Read it again and the question was asked befor who calls their dad NEWT

If what Newt's second wife Marianne says is true--that Callista didn't care what Newt did-- what does that say about his current marriage? Is it an open marriage?

BTW, Willing Sniper, the morality and ethics of Newt's many wives may be questionable, but none of them are running for public office.

Please explain how the second wife is getting a "payoff $$$$". Who do you allege is giving her money?

American Girl,

I respect your view, but differ from it. But have to ask. Did it matter to you during the Clinton/Monica deal enough for you to call out and demand Clinton step down? Or does the fact that Clinton was a Democrat and we had a balanced budget during his term allow you to state that he should remain in office?

Regardless of, as you type it

Just saying "I don't care" about what kind of person we elect to be the most powerful man on the planet is NOT good for me. I actually DO care.

Just curious.

I keep looking around for the person who is without sin.... The rocks got thrown that is for sure.

Republicans are chock full of values until they get in the way of what they want.

"Callista doesn't care what I do."

How classy. I think we can do better.

Now we know why Newt joined the Catholic church. According to them he just goes before a man called the Priest, tells what he did and the Priest forgives him and he is absolved of what he did. Then he just goes on his merry way and it doesn't matter what he did. And he , Newt , can then preach to others about how he is forgiven. Of course Justice has not been done and Newt fails to realize only God , himself, can forgive sins, not men.

Only if Obama uses his teleprompter, otherwise, he is toast.

I'd like to address this non-issue with you, DUDE. Here's what Robert Schlesinger (opinion editor at U.S. News and World Report, and the author of White House Ghosts: Presidents and Their Speechwriters) had to say on the subject:

But let's return to Obama and unpack the charge against him: He uses prepared remarks.

So it's a fault that he values words enough to prepare them in advance and then stick to the rhetorical plan? The fact that he's the most gifted orator of his generation is the residue of hard work and design, not of coasting on raw talent. That's to be commended.

The teleprompter criticism implies that he is merely a fine voice delivering someone else's speeches. But Obama is an accomplished author in his own right and is widely reported to be deeply engaged in the composition of his own speeches. And few who have watched his performances at press events and town hall-type meetings since he took office could argue that he is an empty suit.

Obama far and away outshines George W. Bush as an orator. I hope we can agree on that.

jim-1455434Restored

So what is the real purpose behind this ? It's easy .... to sling as much mud at EVERY potential Obama challenger as there may be out there. The timing is rather contrived also .... right before the South Carolina primary where Mr. Gingrich is looking pretty strong. The Obama re-election campaign strategy is now in place...... attack, disparage, distort, contrive, belittle, besmirch, confuse and assault all who will dare to challenge Obama ......... because Obama's record is so dismal as President, they must earnestly strive to make everyone else look worse.

It kind of reminds me of the movie "The Sting". Even that involved Chicago style deception !

Building another straw-man are we? It's YOUR party that is tearing it's self apart. Democrats just sit back and smile!

Life's a bitch and then another bitch and another...

Hobbyshop

I keep looking around for the person who is without sin.... The rocks got thrown that is for sure.

Hobbyshop, we aren't looking at Gingrich for possible nomination for sainthood, but rather to see if he appears to embody the honor and ethics we desire in our president. Nobody is without sin and we don't expect our leaders to be, either.

Newt could have gotten divorced from both of his wives before beginning adulterous affairs, and then his divorces would be a very different matter from my perspective.

His ethics violations are far more serious, but with everything added up, it points to a telling lack of character.

I DID NOT suggest that to my e-wife. Whatever the definition of DID is.

Myself, I can care less about who'd tapping who and where or how its done, anywhere in this whole world, as far that matter goes. These people are adults and if thats what they want to do, then fine by me. I do believe it takes a certain type of person, male or female, to be able to pull off a playboy type of lifestyle, as this one or Clintons affairs. Its not for everyone. Its a mindset in these people, to be able to live like that. Ok, like I said, its fine with me. Now the things that do bother me about the reporting about these affairs and the people in office, is that when Clinton was being impeached by the repubes, there were a lot of other issues, especially one, that was very important and needed dicussed and acted on with the same passion, or at the very least, looked into as deeply as the affair Clinton was having, but it wasn't. That wasn't important enough for the repubes, because they had Clinton on the ropes, with the oral in the oval. Hence 9/11 and the twin towers. Now Newt's affairs, whoopie-doo, so what. Anyone that has an affair is going to lie about it, its how that works, very few can go to their spouse and tell them before they have an affair, that they will be doing it, before they do it. If the middle east and bin laden were discussed with the passion that Clinton's affair was, then just maybe there wouldn't of been a 9/11, as we know today. Now, I did say, I can care less about them having affairs, but I do wonder a little about Newts. As I said, it takes a certain type of person to have affairs, so how in the heck does Newt even have them? It dosen't say much about the women that Newt had, as compared in Clintons case, I can see Monica going for it. That poor women should sue the repubes for ruining her life, she should own them all and maybe even the US, to a point. She should have everything she ever requests and pronto. Dumb repubes ruined that poor ladies life. But I know people will comment on me and how do women sleep with me and the same with Clinton too. Maybe they don't find me attractive or my thinking attractive and they'll say how in the world to women sleep with me. Ok, thats fair but, don't hate me because I'm beautiful, lol. In Newts case, honestly, what does he have that gets the women to pull their panties off for him? It has to be the money and power that comes with the job, because his personality says he's all for himself in the sack. What would make a women go to bed with him and more than once? I don't get it, at all. Yeah ok, theres women that are passive and want to please, but even so, can't they find someone else thats going to let them enact their fantasies and passions in a more intense way? I'm sorry, but I can't see newt as a cheating playboy, lol. He looks like a clown, that probably can't last longer than a minute in the sack. He's fat and he looks funny, I guess they like to watch him sleep. Maybe thats when they go through his wallet?

A TV show on the mumblings of an angry ex wife. Give me a break. If the kids are willing to defend thier father than you know there is something fishyu about her story. Kids know, especially once they have grown up just who the bad guy is and by the by, how this second wife get Newt if not via an affair while he was married to the first! Just saying! I know some ex wifes who could easily be nominated for B*&^% of the year awards, totally beyond reason in thier vindictiveness, so is this a Jerry Springer show or what? At least he divorced her, instead of her staying through multiple affairs to keep political capitol like some we could name. She apparently would have gone along if he indeed ask such a thing since it was he who filed for divorce. Low politics at its worst. Stupid!

By the by, let he or she who is without sin cast the first stone, bet that lets out all the opposing politicians and the media people involved. Not that I'm a staunch supporter of Newt, I'm not but I am sick of this kind of BS nasty politics. I care about the issues and our future contrary to the folks putting on this bunch of BS.

Well, Callista better not get sick or much older! No wonder Callista won't let the old man out of her sight! Let's see, first wife, divorced when she got breast cancer, second wife when she got MS.....isn't Newt special!! Oh, his first wife was the mother of his children AND had been his 8th grade geometry teacher! I'm sure God will forgive and "redeem" Newt...that doesn't mean the American people must!

I'm confused. What are all you libs upset about? Aren't you the same enlightened people telling us character doesn't matter? Haven't you told us that a person's private sexual life is not relevant to being president?! Don't you always just look the other direction for all of your democrats that violate ethics?

I don't like Gingrich at all. Nor do I like Romney. In my opinion, they are not true conservatives. They are both just more RINO left wing sympathizers. I am puzzled by the hypocrasy of what I am seeing in the posts above, though.

Several people have commented that talking about divorce issues is wrong and unethical. Well, I am divorced and believe me my ex (and I did to) talked about how terrible I was treating him. Mostly to our children. Like he was so innecent. (See, the bitterness is still there when I remember)

OK, deep breath. With Newt being a presidental candidate, the public should know that he twists things so he feels he is ok. My concern is, will he twist his thinking to believe that as a president wrong and unethical presidental decisions are ok. TWISTED THINKING IS NOT OK AS A PRESIDENT.

Just to clarify one very simple issue that is repeatedly misconstrued on this website, probably thru laziness.

Bill Clinton was NOT impeached for having 'sex no it's not sex' with a young intern just a whisp older than his own daughter.

He was impeached for lying when he gave his official statement to the legal system that required truthfulness.

And America would elect him to his old job in a hearbeat if he chose to run again and the media would be beaming with smiles to cover that re-election bid. Or more directlty, his coronation as president.

However, Newt Gingrich will be have his arteries opened up and will have to bend over and cough to get thru the thorough examination that is already being delivered to him.

tony; I think people know why Clinton was being impeached and just phrase the comments they make in a general sense of everything that happened back then. Let me guess tony, hard right? You have to be if you can't see that and you have to leave a comment stating that. Your comments are of less importance than the repubes taking and even putting Clinton on the stand for his affair, who gives one good iota of a flying phuck what he was tapping when he was in office. For people to open their arms wide and accept him as president again for another 8 yrs. Whats that tell you? Ahh you wouldn't get it if you have to state that he was being impeached for lying. So what. The real issue back then was that congress was more interested in Clinton getting impeached than bin ladin threats. Yes, your buddy Rowe was spending the money on Clintons impeachment while the middle east terrorists were bombing the trade center and boats and leaving threats for the 9/11 threat, they did pull off. Don't you get that? I guess you don't. Election day, you should stay home and watch little house on the prairie instead of voting, you'd do your country a big favor, if you did.

tony said:However, Newt Gingrich will be have his arteries opened up and will have to bend over and cough to get thru the thorough examination that is already being delivered to him..........

and I continue....

....because he was such a hipocrite when referring to what he called "immorality" and that America needed to get back to "family values" and have DOMA and DADT, and all sorts of other ridiculous , religiously based legislation introduced and passed in America. Bacaue of this HIPOCRISY, Newt Gingrich is getting MUCH DESERVED, appropriately more intense scrutiny into HIS "immorality" and lack of "family values" than other candidates who may not have beaten the bible so hard through their corrupt, criminal political careers as he did through his corrupt, criminal, immoral political career. There we go Tony, wasn't that what you meant to say?

That is why it's happening, and that is why it's totally appropriate in this case. What's good for the goose is good for the gander and if you have the nerve to shut down the US Government for your ideology and put the justice system at a standstill for years over "oral in the oval" then you've left yourself wide open for similar sort of scrutiny as to your "morality". Don't care personally about his relationship failures and ex-wives are usually hurt, it goes with the territory but his ridiculous morality speeches and his copmpletely false image as a "Good Christian" leaves him wide open and begging for this sort of news coverage. Someone said "ABC is a lib station and a joke" for airing this, the same thing you Neo-Cons say about NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC every time one of you Repubes gets the thrashing their years of previous "work" earned them.

"Blah Blah Liberal media this, Blah Blah Liberal media that." Sure. Sure the media's Liberal whenever it's revealing one of your crooks, one of your child molester pastors or priests, one of your ridiculous game (football, basketball) players for praying to God for the other team to lose, it's always the Libs or the Media or the Lib Media or the Gays and I'd love for you to come up with an original one for a change! Like : "Gingrich amended his vows in both his first marriages, he omitted 'In Sickness And In Health' so his ditching his first 2 wives in their hours of need was assumed as part of the agreement" or something like that. I mean come on guys! You're getting soooooo predictable! Get it together! lol

This woman is a bitter low-class shrew.

She agreed to and participated in an affair with a married man.

Now she wants a pay-off because no one would look at her twice.

ABC News "hyped-up" John Edwards "perfect marriage" even through he cheated on his dying cancer stricken wife and had a child out of wedlock.

There is no valid reason to believe what this Media claims now.........they have been proven to lie.

How delightful to see the "champion" of family values hoist by his own petard!

With yet another example of his arrogance and duplicity, I guess you could now say that Mr. Gingrich has been effectively "Newtered" both politically and morally.

Politics aside...I was floored to see Newt receiving communion on TV at the big Washington cathedral! I am appauled that after two divorces he would receive a dispensation from the Catholic church which allowed him to marry again within the church and become a catholic to boot..I thought the Catholic church was against divorce, and if you got one, you were not free to marry again. What has happened to the morality of our country? Are the rules different for other "people"? I am not an obsessive Catholic by any means, but to see that man in church really made me wonder about religion altogether. Talk about family values! What values?

It would seem that when the going gets tough, Mr. Gingrich moves on. From his first wife, who had cancer, the second who has M.S.; Number Three better hope she doesn't have any health issues! He is like most men, he wants the wife at home as his hostess and and his mistresses at his beck and call.

Where am I??…..in Hollywood??

@oLD dOC #1.130,

You may be too old to understand the topic of my comment, but I was talking about ABC's presentation of this "fiasco" of listening to a former ex-wife, and how virtually all recent articles on MSNBC show a strong slant against whover is the front-running Republican candidate.

The Obama campaign will be mud-slinging at it's nastiest ! What is happening now will resemble a Confirmation ceremony in a Catholic Church by comparison.

South Carolina: Gingrich 33%, Romney 31%, Paul 15%

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has now surged ahead of Mitt Romney.

Real Christans LOVE a repentant sinner! They value the salvation of those who fall most of all. Otherwise, salvation doesn't mean much unless you've hit bottom and helped yourself up.

Gingrich obviously is one of those that when it comes to his conduct in at least one past marriage, he is one that would say "do as I say, don't do as I do". But this is a case of a bitter, "vindictive bitch", of an ex-wife wanting to destroy a man that could do wonderful things to get this country back on track if elected president. Same is true of the women that destroyed Herman Cain's run for President. The Unites States and its citizens wind up being the real losers in both cases.

We simply cannot afford four more years of Obama.

Was that a joke? Are you huffing? I've seen it on every major network all thru '09 and '10, all the news networks especially MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and CNN, ALL about John Edwards's affair and the sad state it left his wife in. Liberals bought her last book in droves to help her family with the royalties to cover medical expenses after she passed, where's your head been, saying something like that?

justsaying1043, I would love to have a chance at being able to come out with the truth about my ex and have the chance to bring up the things she did, while we were married. The whole time she and her family was robbing me and making me look like the bad guy. Although my son is in college and smart as a whip, he dosen't know what happened back then and sees me as the bad guy. Yes, a divorce brings out a lot of bitterness in people and some are lucky enough to be able to bring the issues of the divorce back up and this time give their side of the story. I'm not going to live for just this, but if I do have the chance to make the record straight publicly, I'm taking it. Hopefully one day my son will wake up from the brainwashing he got and he sees me for who I really am. If not, then thats their problem now, people that do know me, I have no explaining to do. So with Newt having a lot of money and thinking he can do what he wants, I do believe in giving his ex the chance to give her side of the story and I hope she makes it hurt for him now. I'm willing to bet he was ruthless to her when he was having his way with the divorce. So good for her and what goes around, comes around, sometimes. This time it did. I'm willing to bet Newt dosen't believe in Karma, because he has money, but maybe he should of. I'm looking forward to her giving the truth about this divorce and telling the people about the pain she had to go through when he did what he wanted. I'm sure when a local judge seen the divorce papers on his desk with Newts name on the papers, he wet himself and sure he gave Newt what he wanted, making the wife look like the villian here. Lots a pain in a divorce like that and then theres karma. yep Newt, karma, something you rich people don't think about, because you think money trumps or eliminates karma, well have a little tase of it and may all the Newt fans out there see what kind of a man they are trying to put in office.

LOL ......"tawdry and inappropriate" and so the negative comments begin from the hypocritical Blingrich about none other than his ex-wives and children. And expect the Gingrich PAC money to start tearing into these poor women!!

LOL ,,, it's the Cain women all over again only these women were his wives. let's hear about what bad women they are you knuckledraggers and billybobs......lol just pathetic....

Goodness, whatever happened to having Presidential candidates with excellent character. Blingrich doesn't even have good character! Ah but the knuckledraggers and billybobs think Blingrich has got himself some fierce dabatin skills to take on Obama..... what a bunch of pathetic clowns!!!!

Richard Lambert "Hey, Roy, don't you think it is a wee bit over the line to be noting Obama's "White" ex-girlfriend from his college days? Really, why in the world is her race relevant?"

I'll answer your question with a question.

If an unmarried Gingrich had formerly lived with a Black woman, do you really think it would not have been noted by the media?

My point is that the media will ignore Obama's previous relationships ( a Racist Black pastor, a former terrorist - Bill Ayres, a former live-in girlfriend, a close relationship with a Muslim racist like Louis Farrakahn, etc.) but goes out of the way to dredge up dirt on a viable Republican candidate.

In my opinion, the media would prefer a moderate like Romney instead of a smart conservative like Gingrich, and thus we have this 'hit piece' by a major media outlet just before an important primary. It sort of reminds me of the NY Times, which endorsed McCain in 2008, knowing full well that they intended to run an unsubstantiated 'hit piece' against McCain in the general election alleging he had an affair with a lobbyist - none of which was true.

GBaby1 "WillingSniper wrote: "With no reporting by the media on John Edwards affair and love child, no one should believe what this lying media says now".........Was that a joke? Are you huffing? I've seen it on every major network all thru '09 and '10"

Here's a clue - The election was in 2008 - they tried to wait until after the election to report the obvious, but it was reported by the National Inquirer months before the 2008 election, and still ignored for months by the media.

You're not REALLY going to claim that the media if 'fair and balanced' when it comes to reporting dirt on Democrats, are you?

Reasons not to vote for Gingrich

1. He makes bad decisions
2. He is endorsed by Sarah Palin
3. He is endorsed by Rick Perry
4. He is a career politician
5. He is a liar

Well that's enough for me.

Willing Sniper, come on you can admit it, your real name is Glen Beck! Only Beck makes such absurd statements about republicans that have No facts to back them up. The term Liberal Press is a bunch of crap. Not one main stream media is owned or operated by a Liberal. Prove me wrong, name one. Even MSNBC is owned and operated by Republicans. Calista Gingrich (the plastic Barbie Doll)better hope she never gets sick or Newt will toss her away too.

Joe...

It seemed to more vital for you to try to tell me what an idiot I am rather than understand that I would vote for Bill Clinton in a heartbeat.

My "buddy Rove" ( yes, his name is 'Rove', not 'Rowe )...I should "watch little house on the prairie instead of voting". Wow. Such keen insight !

You should stop being so impressed with your attempts to appear impressive and spend the time working on sentence structure.

Willing.Sniper

With no reporting by the media on John Edwards affair and love child, no one should believe what this lying media says now.........

If there was NO reporting on it, how do you know about it? Do you tetards EVER engage your brain before you open your pie holes?

Given The Newtsters history can any one actually not entertain the thought that this MAY NOT just be a jealous Ex would got dumped while in a hospital bed by the sleazy Speaker of the house who was persecuting Clinton for his infidelities. I mean it does seem to follow his MO. Newt's claim was since he only had anal intercourse so it's not really sex blows away Clinton's"I did not have sex with that woman."

How come every time a Republican gets caught with their pants down they bring up Bill Clinton....Bill Clinton was/is a scumbag of the highest order, however the last time I checked he is not running for President.

Ok we got fooled by the cheating scumbag Clinton who turned out to be a lousy President who made lousy decisions......but not again, don't you think one proven scumbag as President per lifetime is enough. It's laughable that Newt can stand up there with a straight face and say vote for me to be your leader well maybe cryable.

Real Christans LOVE a repentant sinner! They value the salvation of those who fall most of all. Otherwise, salvation doesn't mean much unless you've hit bottom and helped yourself up.

Ah, yes...repentance..... wasn't it Rasputin who exhorted his flock to "go out and sin so God will have something to forgive"...?

Real thinkers can smell the hypocrisy of Gingrich's phony repentance/salvation a mile away. It's nothing more than political opportunism, phony Christianity, pandering to the religious right. Pavlov got dogs to drool in much the same way.

I guess they like to watch him sleep. Maybe thats when they go through his wallet?

I thoroughly enjoyed your comment, Joe. Thank you.

@ kaybeetoys 1.162...

you nailed it, kaybee. it's bafflling that republican christians are totally sucked in by these sanctimonious, fake, bible thumping hypocrites.

gingrich characterized bringing up his affair as nearly despicable. what is completely despicable is the way that he and the rest of the gop's misuse, abuse and make a mockery of true christianity. dragging religion into the cesspool of politics where politicians envoke the name of GOD from one side of their mouth and spew hateful lies and hypocrisy out of the other is nearly akin to akin to blaspheme.

if i remember right, it seems that there is mention in the bible about fake religious leaders and their followers. there could be no better example than these repulsive low life republicans who are twisting, demeaning and belittling the true teachings of religion.

Irene, you hit the nail so squarely on the head that it was driven home. The republican misinformation and pandering programs are now in full swing. What you are referring to is beware the false prophets. To that I will add also beware the false profiteers.

More than Eighty ethics charges were filed against Gingrich during his term as speaker. Gingrich was sanctioned $300,000 by a 395–28 House vote.The charges against him were all for ethics violations including trying to secure a non working paid job for his mistress in a government agency. The charges weren't dropped...They were waived in lieu of a trial for an agreement to pay the fine and step down.

His indignation is as fake as his smile. Newt is exactly that 'A Newt'; That would be a bottom feeding pond dweller that usually is found under a rock. An animal that feeds on the young and unborn of others in its habitat.

Wake up Republicans, if you want to run for the highest office you have no privacy anymore. Poor Newt, you don't really think you have a chance do you? As someone else said, please run Newt, please run Newt, please run Newt!

Yes, according to both sides, if you are running for president - your credibility and your character should have nothing to do with the debate - but your opponent's credibility and character should count against them. Hypocrites! There is no defense for Newt, just as there was no defense for Clinton. The difference is - Clinton left us with a surplus and a healthy economy. Bush left us with a totally screwed economy. And the Republicans have used the filibuster rule 10 times more than any previous congress to make sure Obama fails. Good luck to you in 2012!

DUDE-875416

Only if Obama uses his teleprompter, otherwise, he is toast.

Dude, give the teleprompter bit a rest. Every other President going back a generation has used a teleprompter, including dear leader Reagan. Even President Obama knows he could be made to sound as stupid as Mr. "Corporations are people, my friends..." without a teleprompter; or left to recite the lyrics to "Oh Beautiful" ad infinitum. By not caving to his critics it shows that he's at least a click or two brighter than anyone the Right is fielding this year.

I bet you don’t be deceived a liar is a liar a divider is a divider and a racist is always going to be one no matter the debate that is Newt

As stupid as you can THINK Rick's Real you know Obama is not bad when it comes to intellect he have demonstrated an excellent knowledge all around the world

What is good debater the one that accuses the media or the one faces the camera and answer the question

When the issue of Rev. Wright was on Obama face the camera and answer the question

But Newt who is not going anywhere a man of open marriage go on media instead of answering the question because he cannot make up another liar like the lobby money from FEDI & MAC

Ok....I thought the Obama method of answering questions...was to deny knowledge of the situation, say that he is working on it, say that it was worse than he realized, blame it on someone else.....or just lie to us all......That seems to cover about 90% of his answers to direct questions.....Of course he answered one...but it took 2.5 yrs to produce his birth certificate......but we still havnt seen that secret history......But, then again, the media doesnt seem interested in all the crap that Obama has or hasnt told the public.....

Newt Gingrich is a crook, read his history, was outsted from the white house, the white house, in this decade. actions from a politician like this shows where America is headed. anyone, anything is allowed to run for president. a love child from an earlier candidate, (edwards) caused him to drop out from candidacy. where are we going America, what are we doing? are we going to sit back and allow any one and any thing to lead this country? we have had enough and miserable representation with obama, we have to get a true leader in the white house now. Ron Paul, no, he is in his middle 70's and running a lax campaign, Rick Santorum has a possibility but not enough experience. Newt Gingrich is another Richard Nixon, loose moral's like Bill Clinton, poor leadership record, but is one of the elite. Mitt Romney is more dedicated and running a determined campaign, he does not have a bad reputation and is a true leader, can do much to turn our crises' around and heal this nation. my vote is for Mitt!

Caught....Obama is in the white house, read his history....Oh, sorry, it is all secret...."Santorum doesnt have enough experience", compared to how much experience Obama had??? I will vote for any republican left when the election comes.....So far 95% of us have had no say in who that candidate will be....

J.A., sad, so sad, sounds like your settling for anything. me myself, i would love to have a clean person leading this country, has years of experience and a good record, not a sleaze bag with a record of poor representation of not only his party, his family but also, obviously, this country

J.A -522495 Thanks I know you can vote for anything to cover you interior motive to Obama save this country from Republican mess if you guys like let go back to the mess again creat another selfish war create another economic melt down i am ashame of you saying you will vote republican again when you have not ask your self how did you and you republican friend brought us into this mess

About the birth certificate we all were asking of the birth certificate because this guy was black and his name a i am a shame of my self for liesting to fools like you when it final get it out

Here is Newt his wife is the one saying he can not lead this country not me. why will I hire the Man that was find as a speaker, if he become president which will never bet you he will be fired the net month. look at his character please tell Newt to tell me if we should all start open marriage later you will say our founding father !!! they never agree to open marriage stop liering for people that are on the wrong track.

VOTE OBAMA

Caught...No, I will not settle for anything....we have that now....

OK...No, Obama and the dems have been in charge of the economy now for five yrs and most of us understand their crazyness. Obama isnt saving us from anything....he is just prolonging the recession and acquiring debt that we will never be able to pay off.

Experience and good record?? Obama?? you cannot be serious....He needs to go back to training ACORN protestors and organizing for socialism.....

Obama has only been the chief federal influencer of the economy for three years, the first two years of which taken up with the work needed to stop the free-fall his predecessor sent us into. The job losses started a year or two before Obama took office and were in a very steep descent when took office. You can see very clearly in the jobs figures how that fall slowed, and then over the last year or so jobs have been consistently added back into the economy.

There is no way around the truth: Obama did save you, J.A., and all of us, from a much deeper recession that would have ensued if Bush's policies had not be turned around. He did as well as any reasonable person could expect, given the pile of excrement that was the economy that the Bush administration left behind, and given the Party of No being in charge of the House for the past year.

Walt...I very well remember that when Pelosi and Reid became leaders of the senate and house they made statements that everything was going to be set right. That they would control the president, the budget and the spending....and they did. They deserve a great deal of credit for their overspending and they certainly were backers of the phony loan programs approved of by our banking committees....They, and their dem majorities took control and that is when things really started turning ugly....Bush went along with their spending and that is the blame that he should get. I would gladly return to the budget situation and spending of 2007(or even 2008) but Obama and the dems make that look impossible. You can say what you want, but we all know who the big wasteful spenders are and they look similar to donkeys....Obama never saved us from anything and is in fact very dangerous to our country.....Obama needs to hear an even louder NO....and to disappear from the scene....Go back to training ACORN radicals. I very well remember the republican party calling for donations and I turned them down with the statement that since they could not control the spending and the craziness of Reid and Pelosi and veto their crazy programs that there would be no donations from me....

Hey, J.A.: What's the price-tag for that pointless war that Bush got us into using false assertions that there were weapons of mass-destruction in Iraq?

Answer: $2.4 trillion

And no; that doesn't include Afghanistan or Pakistan. Bush didn't use false claims to justify operations in those countries.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...

porkchops??? dont you maen doughboy???

I wonder how much she is getting PAID to spread as much "dirt" as she can. I am betting at least 6 figures.

Jim,

I'm sure that after getting a raw deal from Newt she will happily do this interview for free

@jim-1455434

I wonder how much she is getting PAID to spread as much "dirt" as she can. I am betting at least 6 figures.

Gingrich gets paid Millions of Dollars to "give history lectures" to Freddie Mac employees. I wonder what he says that already cannot be found on Wikipedia.

Nothing is free.Not ever AIR.

@Marklepew,

Were you their attorney ??

pure evil all of you who wish such negatives for someone who is concerned about the direction the country is going - just like nearly 78 percent of the pop - but this blog is filled with the 22 percent that are in the midst of a love affair with the potus - you all have lives and you all make mistakes I hope your negativity comes back to you in the form of carma neg carma that is

kennedy clinton kennedy clinton - you love them why????

Jim, most Americans enjoy feeding on the dirt of others........

Have a good week

all that negative Karma seems to be coming back to Newt now,....... that is how it works right?

Bucktooth: Time to visit the dentist and get corrective surgery.

This bell has already been rung, when they got divorced, looks like ABC is trying to get more mileage out of it.

A man cheated on his wife. Where have I heard THAT story before in politics?

"You mean there's gambling going on in that casino?"

Maybe Newt should have joined the Mormons if he wanted to add more ladies to his marriage.

Jim,

I'm sure that after getting a raw deal from Newt she will happily do this interview for free

That is a bit naive don't you think. Of course she either got money from someone or didn't get money from Gingrich.

Based on the clip....she interpreted the remarks as him wishing to have an open marriage... It may have as easily been that he wished to end the marriage. It could be that she made demands inside the marriage that were unreasonable and he needed to get out of it because well, who wishes to be married to an anchor.

Honestly, the tried to reconcile after a six year separation....who separates for six years and not only remains celibate but has high expectations for success in a reconciliation? You have to wonder when she was lying....way back when did Gingrich make some unexpected request for a divorce or from way back when she claimed that Newt insisted she must tolerate the affair or did he call her and ask for the divorce by phone or did he ask for an open marriage? One of the statements must be false...how is it unexpected if you know that your partner has a plus one on his side particularly when you were once the plus one yourself.

Usually the best direction is forward...My prayers are with her to resolve her own personal demons.

She obviously doesn't go for the nip-tuck/botox options that newt's current wife is just fine with. I bet your boy had a hard time rolling over and looking at that dragon face every morning....

Newt, caught in a trap, has chewed off three of his limbs... and he's still not free. Conservatives are a special breed.

No point in staying in a bad marriage. Obviously this old hag was worth leaving.

Rick's Real, unlike you Liberals who are such fine upstanding, honest and dependable open minded fair and totally full of shiite. Gee I wonder what those OWS protesters meant when they threw those smoke bombs over the White House fence were saying, maybe stop blowing smoke up our arse

We already have an arrogant, pompus boob in the whitehouse. Why would we want to move another one in. Newt couldn't win as dogcatcher!

I hope your negativity comes back to you in the form of carma neg carma that is

Don't you understand? This IS karma, coming back to bite Newt and the teapubs. Republicans are doing this to THEMSELVES. And when a party runs on "family values", I would think they would be ready to show their creds. Newt is a hypocritical horndog who has a history of treating his women like crap. That is is cred.

lib...

I've been paying pretty close attention...reading the articles...and watching the news & the debates.

Can you please tell me where to look to see where these Republicans are running on "family values" ???

Where's the "cred" on that statement ???

Please explain how family value conservatives could vote for an admitted two time adulterer with a wife who openly sleeps with other womens husbands ?

Seems to me, once all the pretenders are vetted, only Paul and Obama will be left. And only one of those will bring about real change, preserve America's future and protect the Bill of rights............Ron Paul is the only true Constitutionalist on this good ship America............Ron Paul as an independent who will force a divided Congress to work together in opposition of him...........You want change, add a boogieman that scares the hell out of both sides to the mix !!!!!!

Uh, Tony, have you been sleeping for the last decade? If you can't see it nothing I say can help you out. You may want to start with the evangelical part of the teapub party. Next go to the republican policies on social issues. It ain't rocket science.

Tony said:

"I've been paying pretty close attention...reading the articles...and watching the news & the debates.

Can you please tell me where to look to see where these Republicans are running on "family values" ???"

If you think you've been paying attention and you still have to ask that question, you have NOT been paying attention. He wants to stop funding for Birth Control, he wants to outlaw abortion, he wants to reintroduce abstinence-only sex ed in schools which has a documented history of failure, he wants to re-adopt Don't Ask, Don't Tell and pass a constitutional amendment making it a federal crime for a state to legalize marriage between consenting, same sex couples, he wants to give federal funding to Christian-only churches (therefore establishing a "National Religion") which is specifically against the Constitution and that's off the top of my head. You've gotta start actually paying attention, Tony. Time to use the internet for information BEFORE you form your opinion.

In other words, no one has any credible post to counter tony's statement. Generalized statements assumed to be fact but without backup are NOTHING ! Post #2.23 is a prime example.

jim...

Every breath we take in our lifetime is one less that we will have in our futures.

Don't waste any of yours on this.

The article in question is about this election and I'm supposed to go back ten years and of course, study up on the "teapub party" so I can pass muster with 'lib' and 'GB'.

Not wasting my breath either !

Gingrich is running on balancing the Budget and small government.

Only LibTards want to claim he should "want to" run on social issues, even though he never said he is.

A simple google search would tell you what you clearly don't know tony. But I guess that's to daunting a task for a simpleton.

Good God, they have a fricken event called VALUES VOTER SUMMIT! They specifically target social issues.

http://www.valuesvotersummit.org/

Here is an excerpt, since you seem disinclined to do it yourselves:

In an election season dominated by the economy and unemployment, the summit offers candidates an opportunity to flaunt their socially conservative bona fides — and to take hard-line stances on wedge issues that could come back to haunt them in a general election.

“These issues are front and center. The social issues are intertwined with the fiscal issues,” Family Research Council President Tony Perkins told The Hill on Thursday. “People understand the reason we have big, expensive government is because we have neglected and in many ways discouraged family formation, and that core economic foundation, which is the family.”

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney starts the summit as the front-runner for the GOP nomination but has met with skepticism by conservatives in the past for his previous support for abortion rights and gay rights. He has addressed the summit in past years and won its straw poll in 2007, although he came in third last year.

And in case you need more:

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/gop-presidential-primary/186153-social-issues-to-get-top-billing-when-gop-candidates-address-value-voter-summit

Guys, Ladies, Don't bother Tony and Jim with facts. They have requested more time to inhale and exhale.I think we should honor that. I hope they will honor their statement to leave the conversation. I have noticed the same trolls appear on this thread with the exact same arguments. they won't sit still long enough to pin a fact on them. If you show them facts that their flavor of the month candidate is a horn dog they claim he is running on the budget, if you show them there candidate has a budget plan that doesn't work they claim your candidate 20 years ago was horn dog. It is the old sidestep and they do it so much they wouldn't know how to walk straight. It is laughable how predictable and silly their lament.

ME-Sane.....wrong century, wrong decade, wrong answer one is dead the other might as well be....this is a current affairs commentary page.

There are examples of politicians who can be in an elected position and still keep it in their pants.....Regan, Bush Sr., Carter, Obama.....it can happen.

If one has a track record of lying and cheating on one (or more) of his life partners what would make anyone one think he would lie to or cheat on a poor mug voter like you or me who they have never met or gave a damn about in their lives. Once a lying cheating S.O.S always an S.O.S, hard for a leopard to change it's spots and a fake repentance may hole water with God, but it don't hold none with me.

He is a disgusting narcissist and self centered conman. How any person could vote for this schmuck is beyond me. Wake up South Carolina, this guy is a total dirt-bag.

@JCB,

At first I thought you were talking about Obama. You should be more clear, lol.

Raider; nice try. Want to start some rumor about Obama secretly being married three times and see how that one flies with your right wing cohorts?

AP...lighten up. And the only reason I'm considered "right wing" is b/c the LEFT has stretched the political spectrum so far to their side. I voted Dem most of my adult life, but that was before the Dem party was hi-jacked by extremists like Pelosi & Reid.

The point is ALL Politicians are well... Politicians. But morally speaking Obama is no saint either. Any father who drags his kids to a racist church that teaches hatred is setting a good example of "family values"...right?

@Vermontguy,

Bill "I just cheated because I could" lol

Raider,

With your logic because Newt had lunch with a pedophile...... he must also be a pedophile

marklepew,

You lost me on that one.

JCB,

At first I thought you were talking about Obama. You should be more clear, lol.

I won't make the mistake of voting for a man so clearly over his head again. Obama is a disaster. "change we can't believe in" He is owned, just like every politician. Raider, your 100% right about Obama. Wish Bloomberg would run.

JCB,

You have given me renewed hope. Way to own up to it. We need to be open minded and not just sheep who follow the party they "are supposed" to vote for.

Seriously....you are a fine example of someone who is INFORMED and WON'T be owned, (plz don't take this as patronizing b/c I mean it). Vote them out at the next election I say!!!! We will get it right sooner or later.

I'd just remind you who are blistering Gingrich what the left said during the "Clinton/Lewinsky scandal" -- "It's just SEX; it has nothing to do with how he does his job." Remember that Clinton lied under oath, to a Grand Jury, and on TV to the American public, but "it was just sex."

Now you want to get all righteous about this? And, it's merely accusations at this point, not demonstrated fact.

Raider: Talk about needing to lighten up...."drag his kids" to a racist church?? Huh?? Wow did you reach into the pile for that one!!

Annoy a conservative: care about your country.

Wow! So Newt is a "swinger"...who'd ever guess!? I love Newt's alleged comment. "Callista doesn't care what I do..." Obviously not.....

Open marriage? Well, it's out in the open now. Can't wait to hear Newt talk to us more about "family values"...

I'm sure Newt wouldn't have been okay with his ex-wife having an affair. Talk about serial hypocrisy.

vermontguy

newt "I cheated for my country" gingrich..lol.

That was certainly the gist of the boldest political lie that has been spoken in American history. I'll never forget it. Holy cow.....

I wonder if I could use that on my boss. I could pad my hours and then say that

"My deep love for working for this company caused me to make some bad choices that, in hind site, I deeply regret... Yet, I think I deserve to keep working here."

Does your balls hang low do they wobble to and fro, can your wife tie them in a knot or can your girlfriend tie them in a bow, can you fling them over Monica's shoulder like a continental solider, do your balls hang low

@lurch....very creative and funny. Should have tied in a cigar reference, lol.

You wingnuts seem to think Clinton is running for office. Hmmmm. Stay under the bridge there is an even bigger goat behind me.

Bart Conner

The utter hypocrisy of Newt is astounding--presiding over the Clinton impeachment exactly when Gingrich himself was shacking up outside his marriage; his constant debasing of gay marriage while he has abused the concept of marriage horribly.

Newt admits guilt and remorse over his behavior in divorcing his 2nd wife while she had cancer. He says he's asked God's forgiveness for his sins. That's fine. So how about what he feels about prosecuting President Bill Clinton for his sins while he was committing his own sins. Does he feel guilt and remorse over that too? It would be fitting for him to apologize for that as long as he's apologizing and asking for God's forgiveness for dumping his 2nd wife. You agree?

@ rick's real #3.18...

newt's apology and alledged repentance rings as hollow as the heads of those who are gullible enough to believe him.

Newt's point would be "it isn't the same thing. My sin was being committed because I love my country so much..."

What if Bill Clinton admits that he let Monica Lewinsky polish his flag pole because he loves his country so much. Would that make it ok then too?

@Mac

Aides joke that Callista goes to the bathroom with the Newtster. And her helmet hair is said to be bullet-proof.

Chris you sound jealous, are you dating Newt's ex?

That letter by Newt's dauthers does speak volumes -- and consider the "sub text" -- Basically these ladies are saying is we don't give a damn about this 2nd wife -- whatever our father did to that woman he was cheating with while married to our mother -- and then eventfully left our mother for (thereby no "love-lost" between this lady and these girls) is toally fine with us. Screw the old whore! --What they go on to say is clearly "Since Daddy still has alot of money -- our main concern is and always had been to "get ours' for ourselves and our own children -- and keep it all for ourselves -- No taxes" -- no ethic, no morals should stand in the way of that prome directive. Personal greed. -

Put the Kool-aid down. Bush and Obama have the same foreign policy and both take defecits as seriously as a cloudy day. They both view civil liberities as a curiosity, and both stuff their cabinet with Wall street execs and their wallets with Wall street cash. Stop being played a fool by partisan hacks who care more about elections than their countrymen.

...........and then we can get on to Mitt......Mr. Wall Street, 1%er who wants to pay no taxes at all, hiding cash in the Caymans, calls $374,000 in "speaking fees" a minute amount of his income.........Newt is unsavory but Mitt is all that we despise in a wealthy person. He has never worked a day in his life. Just now heard him on TV say he supports "Right to Work" or as we call it here in Oklahoma "The Low Wage Act"

Kathryn, What a great comment on Mitt. I could only imagine what your observation of John Kerry would be....

Yea, the truth hurts sometimes , doesn't it!

Well I do remember John Kerry was a vet, was on a boat, was shot at.... can't say the same about some other folks.

Of course when you look at people like Pelosi, and her income stream it's all good, right my liberal friends?She's even managed to tie her relatives to the gravy train...and no one seems to care.

The only difference between Rep & Dem politicians income is that no one cares to report on the Dems. They ALL make insane money for speaking engagements...they ALL earn millions in capital gains. But for some reason it's okay to do so if you hide behind the Liberal flag.

Robtzu is RIGHT on the money.

Raider: facts please?? Are you suggesting as an American capitalist that Pelosi should divorce her husband who has made all of that money so that you can continue to pile people into your nonsensical buckets of liberal and conservative to suit your prejudices? As a sitting member of Congress, her outside income is declared and limited. Of course you'd know that, being as astute as you are against the "no one cares to report" thing.

Well Raider, Pelosi is not running for president. And the other point is that the "rich" democrats want higher taxes for the richest, (themselves must be included). That would be walking the walk.

And Robtzu the difference between Obama and Bush's foreign policy, well besides getting OBL and Anwar aliki (sp) ending the war in Iraq and successfully aided Libya's opposition to overthrow Kadafi, is nothing (so you're right) but in terms of getting stuff done there are worlds of difference.

AP....do your own homework. It's not just her husband. If you don't know what I'm talking about....then pay better attention. Beside it wouldn't change your opinion anyway....you will always view the Dem politician as better then the rest.

BTW...since I continue to point out the fact that BOTH parties are guilty. Why don't you make an argument as to the innocence of the Dems. I guess Dem's don't collect speaking fees?? Or make millions on capital gains?

Katheryn, How come you don't hear how much Clinton is worth today, OVER 200 MILLION DOLLARS.

OH CHIT I forgot, he is a lIBERAL.

@Adam

Well Raider, Pelosi is not running for president.

Agreed. I'm all for vetting out the candidates. Lets not elect them so we can see/learn their character afterwards.

And the other point is that the "rich" democrats want higher taxes for the richest, (themselves must be included). That would be walking the walk.

And if I was making millions I'd probably be "walking the walk" and okay with more taxes too. But I'm not. I'm just a working stiff who wants to stop giving %30 of my income to a broken Federal system. Therefore I'm glad that there are politicians who will fight for what I believe in...regardless of how much they (politicians) make.

This board always reminds me that we have the politicians we deserve. Its always the other guy's fault. Its never my guy. We treat politics like college sports. People don't support policies, don't care about facts, and are willing to change their minds whenever the occupant of the White House changes. Wars are good or bad depending on who starts them, stimulus is good or bad depending on who is signing the checks, and defecits only matter if the other team is in control. When we go bankrupt do not cry and ask what happened, and who is to blame, for it is us that is to blame and a mirror is all that is needed to see the guilty.

I only take solace in the fact that when I rot in the hell this country has become you guys are here with me.

@robtzu....hear hear!!

Very well said. Both parties have their issues. What gets me is this entitled ideology that when the Pres runs for re-election their OWN party lays down and supports it. The Republicans should have thrown someone else at Bush for his re-election. And if the Dems were smart they would LOCK up 2012 with a moderate Dem to run against Obama. But that will never happen.

Raider: of course from your attila the hun perspective, Obama, the guy who got Osama Bin Laden, bailed out wall street, and renewed the patriot act is not "moderate". That's why your party has become so irrelevant...you make Barry Goldwater look like a flaming liberal.

and of course you'd make assumptions about anyone not hating Obama being extreme. You really need to get out of the echo chamber and do some reading.

Why didn't Newt just declare himself a Muslim, say the magic words three times and take the second wife and two more for good measure. He made enough shakin down/suckin ass to lobbyists to support 4 women equally. LOL!

AP...I've voted Dem more times then Repub. So you can quit stereotyping me. I've also pointed out how both parties are full of failures and mistakes.

But hey....don't let my open mind get in the way of your Liberal rants. Dems are perfect and we should really learn to obey them (sarcasm).

BTW...keep telling yourself that Obama is a "moderate". That's the funniest thing I've read all day. People like you who think "their guy" is perfect are sheep being led to slaughter.

With no reporting by the media on John Edwards affair and love child, no one should believe what this lying media says now.........

Lets see , I believe it was the Military that got Bin Laden, Saddam,Alaki, it was Pakistan that got KSM. Iraq withdrawl date was set by Bush and carried out by Obama. Military tribunals set by Bush continued by Obama, Rendition set by Bush continued by Obama,Patriot Act incorporated by Bush continued by Obama, Drone attacks started by Bush increased by Obama,Gitmo used by Bush, continued by Obama budget deficit 4 trillion over eight years by Bush, increased by five in three years by Obama,tax cuts for the rich started by Bush, continued by Obama, yeah Obama is so much better. Liberals are such a joke

Willing-sorry, but there was PLENTY of reporting on John Edwards's affair, love child, etc. There still IS. And he is about to go on TRIAL for trying to get money for HIS mistress, while Newt essentially skated on that.

But John Edwards was never, IMOHO, as serious contender for Pres. So the main stream media could sacrifice HIM in order to help THEIR candidate get the nom.

@wlee: Interesting agrument you make here -- the basic point of your "anti-Obama" rant was that he is a evil lelftist/liberal --since he continued most all the same policies, tax cuts and war actions as George W. Bush! Why do republican hate Obama for simply doing exactly what they want hinm to do? -- True libs feel he is not nearly liberal enough -- and the tea party does not want anyone (thewr then themselves, of course) to have soical programs. MY questions to you all: Do any of you ever use a tunel, bridge or public road? Have you or anyone in your own family ever cashed a social security check? If you have done any of these things.. you have taken advantage of "socialist" programs -- You must be a Commie!! )LOL) sorry --just the facts here...

Painfultruth,have you ever used spell check, you missed the point, they're one and the same. The greatest country in the world and this is the best we can come up with,pretty pathetic. Where did I say Obama was an evil leftist? Since he is doing the same things as Bush did, then are you saying that I'm implying Bush was an evil leftist, or that Obama is an evil rightwinger

@ painful truth

Socialism is the state owning the means of production. Therefore Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are not socialistic. They are transfer payments. Using the example of roads is a straw man arguement, no one is suggesting the privatization of all roads or bridges. Indeed wlee did not disparge socialism, he said "liberals". Usually when a liberal is called a socialist they, rightfully, claim that they are being unfairly attacked for a stance they do not have. The person making the liberalism = socialist arguement is you.

Your assumption that because wlee does not like Obama because Obama is just like Bush, makes wlee a Republican is pretty strained logic. The more likely assumption is that wlee is an independent, which outnumber republicans (Its the fallacy of the false dillema). Your post is just one more example of, and reason for, our sorry political state. Just because someone dislikes Obama does not automatically make him an enemy, a Republican, or a Bush lover.

@Jack,

They have to be very, very careful in what they say. It isn't just the three marriages --- it is, for example that the first wife, their mother, was Newt's high school math teacher and that she falsified documents for him to get his first draft deferrments (a felony.) He married her, 8 years his senior, in the belief (which he still apparently holds) that she then could not testify against him. He told several people when he divorced her that she "was neither young enough or pretty enough to be a President's wife." At the time he filed for divorce she was just starting treatment for breast cancer and it was assumed that her cancer type was the fast-growing type with few survivers at her stage. She did pull through and is still alive, but at the time she was thought to be dying. And even after the divorce, he left her with huge hospital bills (to which he did not contribute) and refused to pay child support for the same two daughters until a judge sent deputies to take him to jail for a year. Then he wrote a check for the full amount, so he had it all the time.

And it wasn't like he just had the three wives and that was it. He had scores of liaisons with staffers and women that he met in both his work and while campaigning. Some of these lasted as long as three years and he cheated on all three wives, including the current one. Apparently his aides constantly joke about the pervasive presence of Callista who sit in on all meetings and approve all appointments. They say that she even accompanies him to the restroom tomake sure that he isn't getting a quickie in the stalls.

And Romney and Gingrich and Santorum are the BEST the GOP can come up with. The Grand OLD Party. Old people, old cheating ways, old ideas, old tactics. Remeber, the GOP is the party that characterized George Washington, upon the news of his death, as "The vilest Man who ever Breathed."

You're the teatard nazi scum who would defend this piece of filth who's running on 'Family Values'!! It's got nothing to do with left or right, he's a disgusting excuse of a human being who has no business representing my country on any level!! I'm no Obama fan but he's in for another 4 years unless a third party candidate with half a brain emerges or the republicans end the circus freak show.

ME-sane: Progressives will never be "total scum" until you righties release your legally constituted claim on the whole smelly sack containing the sh^t. Meantime just continue with your refrain; "its my sack and I'll squirt if I want to".

Jack, his daughters have a huge motive for writing a letter to ABC regarding the Family man he has become at age 68!!! They would like to say, someday (maybe) Our Dad the President of the United States. That is making me sick!!!

Newt does not know what FAMILY VALUE IS!!

GOP is kind of like the 'Good ole boy's' club. do as i say. not as i do.

Jack, the US has a divorce rate of 50%, that's not counting the number of couples who cheat on each other,so I'd say Newt is pretty much the average guy

Mac, she left out pig wallow away buddy

As a kid growing up, I thought it would be cool to be the President.

I have seen the last 10 Presidents in my lifetime......it seems to me that any person who would want the job is certifiably insane and thus not qualified for the job.

We need a person that does not want the job, hates the job, has no desire for power or status....and will do the job because they love our people and this great experiment. Someone like that can only be found in the pages of a good fiction novel.....but would that not be great if it could happen?

Newt's daughters have gotte beyond the fact that he might not have "tucked them in @ night" or even what he may or maynot have done totheir family or their mother (his first wife). They only concern is to make sure that the old man's means of making money stay intacted and that thet get their inheritiance --they said as much in the letter -- plus , it would be great if Dady got a govrnmnet job again -- and it would be really cool to be able to hang out @ the White House and ride in limos again!

YEAH not only can he not keep it in his pants, but it seems everyone forgets he was fined and kicked out of Congress over "ethics violations". So as we can see he's a really classy guy.................NOT

Just the perfect guy to represent all those "evangelical Christians" and Republican family values. Yeah, we see what family Republicans value. Give me a break.

So if you have no values it is okay right? Clinton..Kennedy? Hypocritical viewpoints? What a dolt.

Let's see, Kennedy's dead, Clinton's no longer in office, but here's a guy who wants to be the President. Some difference, huh?

Let he, who is without sin, cast the first stone.

Just remember he was screwing wife #2 while still married to wife #1. Wife #2 may be mad, but people who live in glass houses........

addie,

good advise and Newt should have taken that to heart when pressing for investigation of Clinton for the same thing he was doing while diddling Callista

Addie: some of us have never cheated on two consecutive wives, been forced to resign by a majority of our OWN party, and have the audacity to use our public and then private positions to lecture the country about the supposed lack of OTHERS' moral codes. Not everyone believes hiding behind select biblical quotes puts you on a special path for national leadership.

Well, at least he married them all didn't he? We can't say the same for former President Bill Clinton, who redefined the word "it" while also redefining the use of cigars now can we?

"Newt is not perfect, but who among us is?"

(Perry)

There's something here for the first wives to remember. Be warned...those Gingrich daughters from his first wife are doing the "Wait till the Old Man Dies" inheritance routine. I've seen this more times than I care to. The old man gets the daughters to kiss up with the promise of an inheritance when he's gone...One teeny problem with that...McWifie Number 3 will make sure they don't get a dime. Especially, if SHE has kids from a former husband or with Newtie. Her kids will come first and first children will be ignored.

But there is something to be learned from Gingrich for all men and women, watch what you do because your past always comes back to haunt...usually when it's least helpful.

As for Newt personally, he suffers from the good ole boi "Wandering Richard" disease. I've never met a good ole boi who wasn't up to a second, third or more marriage. Legalizing it just launders the real intent. If I've learned nothing about men, this I now know...once a cheat...ALWAYS a cheat. If the reason a guy is divorced is that he had the Wandering Richard disease...run as fast as you can in the opposite direction. He can't change. Wandering Richard controls his brain...roflmao.

ewent does that apply to women as well in your opened mind, and surely it must be only Republican men

The parable of the lost sheep was told by Jesus when the Pharisees criticized Him for socializing with sinners. Through this story of compassion, Jesus revealed his rescue mission for sinners.

Jesus told the overly judgemental this parable:

'Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the one lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home."

Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, "Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep." I tell you that in the same way there will be MORE rejoicing in heaven over ONE sinner who repents THAN OVER ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent'" (Luke 15:3-7)

REAL Christians love a repentant sinner, and God holds them to a higher value. Just say'in...

Don't forget the only one who has kept his beliefs and values intact for generations. Let's hear it for Ron Paul!

I realize that you folks don't get it, but keep voting like you have been to keep things running smoothly, as it has worked out so well for so many years.

Ron Paul 2012

DeMerl--- You are right about them being crooks, but you are blind in one eye if you think the Democrats are any better. We had a Democratic President that proved that " Oral Sex " was not sex at all, while still in office. We had a Democratic president, that was sleeping with a movie star while married and in office. If you are looking for a politician that doesn't have baggage in their closet, GOOD LUCK, because there hasn't been one of them in generations. You could vote for yourself as a write-in, but are you sure that someone like you wouldn't find something in your closet?

so in your version of sophisticated life's political lessons, you just assume anyone running for anything or serving anywhere in this country are immoral crooks? Thanks anyway. I'll go for reality (which is these are human beings...some a helluva lot more flawed than others and that's what elections are exactly helpful in trying to weed out.)

Our father is running for President because of his grandchildren – ..., Newt felt compelled to run - to serve his country and safeguard his grandchildren's future.

I have a hard time squaring this comment with Newt himself, who decades earlier divorced his first wife while she was in the hospital with cancer; and said at the time that she was neither young enough or pretty enough to be a President's Wife. This is not a man who feels compelled to run for his grand children, Newt is a man that has been fostering this ambition for most of his adult life.

Are these girls pretty enough to be Newt's daughters?! He said their mother did not fit the bill? If they help him to become president, he might disown them. Hang on Calista, it will get bumpy the higher Newt climbs. There are prettier younger ones in DC.

Calista surely remembers where she came from........she better start checking under every desk.

Have you noticed Callista always standing by Newt keeping a watchful eye on him? Who else would know best about his wandering eye?

Kathryn, WHY is CLINTON in the room?????????? Maybe she will get some on her DRESS.

Yeah I love right wing patriotism. Have an affair because you're a patriot. Sacrifices for everyone! Higher taxes for the middle class, and the rich have to suffer by hauling more money to the bank and hiring more accountants because of massive tax CUTS. Golly. The GOP and the right wing sure are punishing those who've done SO much for our country in the last few years. How does Wall Street stand it?

Bob don't talk about Wall Street, Oblamea got more from WALL STREET than anyone.

Know what the hell your talking about before you say anything.

Pelosi, Dodd, Rangel, NEED any more.

buck, facts only matter when it's against the right

wlee...Facts to righties only matter if it's against this president or the left, socialists, people on welfare, the unemployed...If you right wingers would stop vying for canonization while hiding those closet vices, Newsters wouldn't be in the present predicament.

The only reason Newt is even out there is because the righties and good ole bois network wants yet another red stater Stars and Bars candidate they think can win. But won't.

Righties don't get it. You can't play St. Rightmo of the Cross one minute and hoop de doo the next and think it's just "Bois will be Bois". Newt is not exactly the kind of role model I'd want if I had sons.

Sorry ewent, I'm an Independent who is willing to take ideas from both sides, not a mindless Liberal who can't see past their nose. Btw I've been one of those unemployed, I'm no saint, never cheated on my ex-wife, nor girlfriends. What a surprise the right wants someone on the right to win

His daughters are following the same trajectory as their father believing that they can gain from his success. Don't expect the girl’s future behavior to vary from their father's (“Whatever” it takes to get ahead).

SC POLL: Gingrich 33% Romney 31 %Paul 15% Santorum 11%

Gingrich has addressed these issues before, and there is nothing new here.

The real response from people who know him is disappointment with an old bitter ex-spouse for doing this, and sadness about the whole situation.

She's singing James Brown..."the big payback"!!

Oh I am sure the GOP was looking under every rock for dirt on the President, it seems they had to settle on the birth certificate........no there , there.

But shouldn't all candidates be vetted? Personally, I think vetting presidential candidates should be similar to how a nominee for a cabinet post is vetted. In the past, there have been individuals who were running for president, dropped out of the race, and when vetted for a position by the elected president, was denied the post because past indiscretions. If a person isn't good enough for cabinet post, he/she surely shouldn't be good enough for the highest office in the country!

Every major presidential candidate is scrutinized and vetted very intensely. Obama's religion, his birth, his college politics, even his attendance was scrutinized. This is nothing new.

Probably none of the three, hehe....most likely "designer" labels. Better question would be the "boxer or briefs" question. BTW, it is Hanes, not Haines....I'm in the apparel printing business.

Obama was vetted heavily by Clinton's campaign and the GOP in 2007-2008.

Obama wasn't married three times, and didn't cheat on the wives. And yes, they did scrutinize him. Remember the whole debaucle with the reverend of his church? Also there was practically a whole movement of people who insist he is not an American citizen. Have you not heard of the term "birthers" ?

The Beev-2396805

I don't recall Mister Obama being scrutinized/vetted this intensely? What's next,...do we get to know if the candidates prefer Fruit of the Loom, BVDs, or Haines?

You are either an outright liar, lived under a rock in 2007-2008, or have a severe case of short term memory loss.

First the Clinton's and then the McCain campaign (remember "Sarah Palin") tried to tie every single person Barack Obama knew, associated with or spoke to as an anti-American (Bill Ayers, Rev. Wright), covert Muslim ( his middle name is "Hussein", his father was from Kenya), radical left-wing Liberal who will destroy this country if ever elected. Guess what, they are still saying the same things to this day. How about the whole "how'd he ever get into Harvard" line of questioning or better yet the "how come we can't see his grades", "how come no one ever comes forward who knows him when he was a kid", etc., etc. Oh, and lest we forget the "Birth Certificate" debacle that raged on for nearly two years.

Sorry "The Beev-#'s" your FAUX (Fox) outrage has zero validity.

Gotta ask though, what is so enticing to you about having a man like Newt Gingrich as our President? Do you really think that putting him into office without having a filibuster proof majority in the Senate will be a good thing for America? Do you really believe that after everything the Republican House and Senate members have done to this President that they are going to just roll over and cooperate with a man who has the history, mentality, and personality of Newt Gingrich?

You Obama Hater's have absolutely no credibility trying to say he wasn't vetted.

You Obama Hater's have absolutely no credibility trying to say he wasn't vetted.

You make a fair point, but the bigger question would be; to what degree was Obama vetted? More importantly I (among many others) feel that Dems and Obama get a "pass" and are NOT held to same level of scrutiny (as Repubs).

How would the media react to Republicans attending a known racist church? Or if a Repub had an on going affair with an intern in the white house. Not elected and impeached is probably the correct answer. There really is a bit of a double standard.

Sayit, you say Obama was "vetted". So where are his college transcripts? Where is his PhD dissertation? Why are they sealed? Did he file for financial aid and/or college admission as a foreigner, non-US citizen? Why can't we see all that?

@ The Beev : Oh my, oh my, oh my !!!! How some people have short memories. He (B. Obama) was hounded until he showed its birth certificate, and even then it didn't stop, and to this day, some people still want more proof that he is an American.

So please enough with the selective memory.

"So where are his college transcripts?"

Candidates are NOT required to submit their college transcripts. The only reason we've seen Bush's is that they were leaked. Did you see Reagan's? Bush I's? No? I guess they weren't vetted either.

"Where is his PhD dissertation?"

He doesn't have a Ph.D. He has a J.D., the terminal law degree. No dissertation required.

"Did he file for financial aid and/or college admission as a foreigner, non-US citizen?"

No, and that's more made-up sh*t from the birthers. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthers/occidental.asp

Adam the vetting only works one way and that's to be sure you scrape up every bit about a Republican candidate...I didn't see this kind of vetting going on when the current resident of the W.H was running in 2008. There's two sides to every story, and I doubt this woman will tell "all" sides.

So you think the fact that there isn't a lot of dirt on President Obama is because the republicans didn't look? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA That's choice! The looked and they couldn't find anything so they made up and continue to bandy about this BS regarding his birth certificate. It's more than desperate. And what's pathetic is this minority of people who believe it! Too funny. And sad.

DR. DR. and how long did it take for him to release his questionable birth certificate

You don't remember Mr. Obama getting scrutinized like this? Are you people nuts? He is still getting scrutinized and the worst part is what comes from the mouth of these candidates are not even honest. If you people want to win this next election, you really need to do a better job than give us all these freaking liars to choose from.

Newt has lied to all of his ex-wives, lies just about everytime he opens his mouth about the president being a european socialist. That is not even in the ball park of honesty, I can harly wait until the DNC and the Obama campaign starts going toe to toe with who ever is your nominee; because if you think they represent american values (hating the poor, hypocrisy, not even paying your fair share in taxes, and not even try to tell the truth about you oponent is the worse kind of campaign.)

I am not an expert but, from what I see going on and knowing the people are smarter than you think; Obama will win big.+

The most hilarious moment of this on-going political circus was watching Sarah Palin talk about what we saw happen in the last election when a candidate wasn't vetted enough.

The irony was utterly delicious. Is she really that clueless?

"DR. DR. and how long did it take for him to release his questionable birth certificate"

He released the same official copy EVERYONE in HI gets and posted it on the internet in 2008. See here: http://www.fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate

State officials in HI came forward in 2008 and 2009, stating that Obama's bc was an official HI bc. And the birthers persisted. Finally, in an attempt to answer this nonsense once and for all (and shut the Donald's pie hole) Obama requested a waiver of state law to provide a copy of the state archived copy (that NO ONE gets) http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/04/27/president-obamas-long-form-birth-certificate. And still the nonsense goes on. See here: http://factcheck.org/2008/08/born-in-the-usa/ and here: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthcertificate.asp for the chronology.

But yeah, let's continue to bring up this manufactured issue. And just for the record, have you ever challenged the normal state-issued birth certificate of any other candidate? If not, ask yourself why.

Dr. Dr. never challenged his till he dodged it

"Dr. Dr. never challenged his till he dodged it"

I'd respond, but this statement makes absolutely no sense. Punctuation might help.

Can you say Richard Nixon

Wes, sounds a lot like Obama, or do you get out of your room much.

No sorry to burst your bubble but you are soooo wrong, Newt would be perfect to run against and after the Cayman Island information even Romney is looking like Newt light.

How wrong you are. Anyone who supports Obama is PRAYING for Newt to win the primaries. The liberal left knows he has no chance at winning the presidency. They are very far from scared of him, quite the opposite.

Surfer Dude #%$^$&*-Did you get hit in the head on your last surfin safari? Scared of "The Newt"-Ha Ha Ha ha Ha....The ONLY reason that The Newt gets a bump in the polls is because some other "contender" does something even more stupid than him that week!!

This guy makes scum look GOOD! He will say or do anything to stay in the public eye, even if it means going against his "family values". The "Dirt" they are rehasing is reminding the American public what a low life he is and why even his own party can't stand him.

This is really the best the Republican party can offer this country????????

The liberal left is very scared of Newt.

Scared of Newt, are you kidding? I'm considering changing my party affiliation just so I can vote for him in the primary election. I'm considering donating a few dollars to his campaign. I'd love to see him on the ticket come November.

Scared of Newt. That's funny!

Newt especially being a scholar of History knows if we ignore it because it was years ago we will relive it and Newt is going to relive part of his past today whne the interview is aired. That's why it is significant.

Quote......The liberal left is very scared of Newt......EndQuote

That's right surferdude-1463363.....

Please....please....don't throw us in that briar patch....throw Perry at us....throw Santorum at us....even throw Bachmann or Romney at us.....but, please...please brer Fox.....don't throw that Newt at us.

Quote......Who cares about his past anymore?......EndQuote

VOTERS care about Newt's past. You should too. It's the best predictor of his future actions. But, it is not surprising that someone such as yourself (a Gingrich supporter), when talking about someone such as Newt Gingrich (whose history is littered with serious improprieties and hypocrisies) would attempt to distract attention from it.

Face it: you folks don't have a decent candidate to choose from. Perhaps Providence intended it that way. You have no idea who democrats hope is your nominee. (Most of) you don't even know who YOU want for your nominee. That's why you are influenced by (what you perceive to be) OUR concerns.

This GOP primary season has taught us (democrats) somethings about you GOPeaParty folks that Fox News and Rush Limbaugh already knew. It is hard to believe. But, there it is.

So let's see. The right wing is in favor of big govt regulation of family life, except for the elite. They're for govt regulation of sex, except for the elite. They're in favor of restrictions on sex education except for the elite. They're in favor of tax increases for the middle class and tax cuts for the rich. And THIS is what the right wing says America should be FOR? Are you guys INSANE?? Running on 'family values' for everyone except themselves! Socialism for the wealthy, paid for by the middle class

The liberal left is very scared of Newt. Whenever Newt gets a bump in the polls they become hellish about it and rehash the "dirt" that had been rehashed ten years ago.

Surferdude is more accurate then you think. If you listen to a political analyst that is unbiased (as hard as that is, lol) this has been said many times. The point being some Obama fans feel Romney is an easier fight b/c of his past in Mass and specifically healthcare. Newt on the other hand "knows DC", & is more "conservative", which is more trendy currently.

IMO...I think many ppl have made their mind up. They will vote for Obama....or AGAINST Obama, whoever that ends up being.

WHO CARES WHAT HE DID IN THE PAST? Would you let Michael Vick watch your dog? Let a convicted child molester sit your young children? NEWT is a smart, throughly vile, competely loathsome character who admitted to ethics violations while in office, and you want to put him in the more powerful position on the planet? Come ON! I'm no party hack. Newt is a disgrace and a bum and the GOP should be ashamed even to consider backing him.

Gotta love.. how the people who are paying LITTLE or NO TAX .., are always complaining about the top 10% of EARNERS.. who pay the vast majority of all taxes.

You remember.., these are the same top EARNERS whose taxes support: Education, Infrastructure, Unemployment benefits (even though they don't draw unemployment), Welfare, Endowments to the Arts/Science, Education etc., Green research, Aids research and so on, and so on, and so on...
