Gingrich Lashes Out After Ex-Wife Question
posted by Ed Staff | Thursday, January 19, 2012



Judging by the crowd's response, it's official: conservatives don't care about character and are completely hypocritical on subjects of family values. Big surprise.

Where is the Evanangelicl Right?.

Newt Gingrich Married 3 times

Took his 4th No-Adultery oath in December 2011. To take a No-Adultery Oath Newt must be incapble of a monogamous behavior. OMG..newt is a serial Monogamist.

Newt ran around on his first chronically ill wife. He is no better than John Edwards. He cheated with the woman who became his second wife...the one who refused to share him in an open marriage with his Congressional staffer who is 20 years his junior , that didn't mind being the other woman, her name is Callista, his 3rd wife.

Newt Gingrich is a self-righteous arrogant SOB. Personally, I would not care about his indiscretions except for the fact that it shows the total hypocrisy of the GOP "family values" agenda. Newt also seems to have contempt for the women who are unfortunate enough to share his life. Newt treats his first two wives like dirt on the rug. Funny he should get mad at the CNN commentator John King, who was just quoting ABC News because the person he should be angry at is himself. In many ways how a man who treats the women in his life, his mother, wife, ex-wives, and daughters says a whole lot about how he will treat men in the world of work world. I can forgive anyone one divorce because we are all human with failings. But after the second divorce you have to start talking about lifestyle choices poor judgement, and character deficiencies. If Newt will cheat endlessly on a faithful loyal second wife, who gave him two daughters, (as far as I know the second wife was the mother of his daughters) then he will probably cheat a business partner or someone who works for him too.



Narcissism is a dangerous weakness for Newt. I am not sure the man is mentally stable enough to be in charge of nuclear weapons. Why conservative women fall for this buffoon is something I do not understand. Will Newt also treat his new wife Camilla any better than the other two wives? Would he have sympathy for a poor woman that needs financial help for an abortion or family planning services? Something tells me that the poor woman needing some help for an abortion or family planning services would also get treated like dirt on the rug by a President Newt. Say it ain't so?

There are discussions and polls whether Newt's antics or Mittster's tax returns are a more significant issue. Regarding Newt, separate from whether he clowned around and allegedly asked the second Mrs. Newt (who was the first girlfriend) for an open marriage, in my opinion the real problem is his hypocrisy: so hissy re questions about his personal life, but William Jefferson Clinton's escapades presented "an issue of character."



Wish we could question the debate attendees who cheered Newt's defiant response: how did they feel about Bill and Monica?

Bottom line: Newt did NOT answer the question.

He made up his own answer.



This is the classic MO of a liar and cheat. Project and redirect! Criminals do this all the time!



... and he got away with it... Just like he has entire life.

Anderson Cooper should have retorted - "You still didn't answer the question, what is the answer Newt???"

Newt stinks like three day old road kill. His righteous act is working for a Carolina crowd that doesn't want to hear anything real on their boys. They want to hear some serious Obama bashin dadgumit. Hypocrite repubs are a dime a dozen. If you are looking for a true 'family values' guy, he's in the Whitehouse already. That they can't find any sleaze ball affairs on Barack must drive them more nuts than they already are.

The Newt is smart.



His strategy when asked about his own imprudent indiscretions?



Blitzkrieg!



Overwhelm the commentator with belligerent acrimony, and render them incompetent with emotion.



Newt had worked himself into a lather before the debate ,knowing the veil has been lifted from his facade of deception. Being exposed, all he could do was get "the angry last word". He politicized the issue and forced the audience to choose sides rather than examine his character.



This, coming from a man who advocated the impeachment of Clinton for similar conduct.



He was apalled that the commentator should mention this "trash" in the first place, but it's his "trash". He had two choices - take responsibility for his own actions, or lie.



He lied just like Clinton.



Being smart doesn't make one a "good" person.

Oh Newtie. It was totally appropriate and not dispicable. OMG The American electorate has important questions that need answers and not an attack on poor John King - he used to be nice before CNN lost its mind. First of all, what do we call the First Lady - the First Ladies or the First Lady, Second Lady, Third Lady, ... on a rotating basis. Is there an upper limit to how many wifes a President can have? Do we have to redefine marriage as a union between and "a man and women" instead of "a man and a woman" and will the base get "on board" for this one. Can the public keep up with the myriad of the first ladies special causes and will they publish a priority list? Will Colista continue to be so understanding when she finds out about the new pole dancer turned trophy wife that is stashed at Camp David? It is my understanding that it is always easier to forgive someone elses husband than your own. And then the big one. What happens if your most recent religion stiffs you on this open marriage thing? So what do you say - stud muffin?
