EXCLUSIVE! NEWT GINGRICH DARKEST SECRET!
NATIONAL ENQUIRER ^ | 12/21/2011 | ALEXANDER HITCHEN

Posted on 12/21/2011 6:16:23 AM PST by TBBT

Bombshell legal documents reveal the tawdry truth about GOP Presidential contender NEWT GINGRICH’s dark past – his father was a wife-beater, a wife cheater and perennial drunk!

And in an even more shocking disclosure, Newt’s mother asserts in the explosive documents that she was battered by her husband while pregnant with the future Speaker of the House.

Despite those horrific charges, insiders reveal that Newt forgave his dad and they became fast friends.

Now sources say the 68-year-old White House contender’s close relationship with his vio­lent father is bound to ignite a new scandal because the veteran politician has been a major cru­sader against domestic violence – and even co-sponsored the Violence Against Women Act in 1994.

A political source told The ENQUIRER: “Newt is going to face some heavy questioning because while he’s been a major opponent of domestic violence, he secretly reconciled with his wife-beating father.”

So, let me get this straight, his dad was abusive, and he as a son loved his father anyway?? That’s a bombshell?? What sick planet do folks live on that expect a child not to love their parents, even if they are horribly flawed????

Wow,... just wow.

Have posted a Wiki reference on Newt’s bio parents. Their marriage dissolved after just a few days. Mother was 16 and father 19 when they married; so there were no ‘good times’ to remember.

His step-father died in 1996. Do we know who contacted whom? When did bio-dad realize his son had accomplished so much from such adverse beginnings?

This biography will not hurt Newt - many adults who experienced similar family dysfunction will sympathize. Those that were more fortunate will be impressed by his overcoming the odds. JMHO

That’s what I was thinking.
No mention of Obama Sr., drunk, serial womanizer, polygamist, wife beater (his other white wife) and child deserter.

THE HORROR! Newt forgave someone for their past sins!

THAT DOES IT! Throw him in the Brier patch!

But at least the Newt haters and general cynical bunch here will be busy for a few more days.

I won't be surprised if they dig up an old witness who saw him refuse to help an old lady across the street. (When he was a Boy Scout)

"...another media source who could not find the time to report on the marxist church where His Excellency allegedly attended regularly can find the time to search through documents about Newt’s parents."

The same media that knew every detail of Tiger Woods' sex life within 24 hours supposedly knows nothing about Obama's past.

BULL FEATHERS!

The media created Bark Obama and they are going to hide what they surely know to protect him. I hope this becomes more and more evident as the campaign goes along and this election becomes a referendum about the media as well as the community organizer.

What does that have to do with Newt co-sponsoring VAWA? Note that he didn’t merely vote for that freedom-robbing legislation, he CO-SPONSORED it.

You choose to ignore Newt’s repeated progressive words and deeds but I will not. He has repeatedly stated that FDR, not Reagan was the best 20th century president and possibly the best-ever president. If you want another FDR, go ahead and vote for Newt.

” political source told The ENQUIRER: “Newt is going to face some heavy questioning because while he’s been a major opponent of domestic violence, he secretly reconciled with his wife-beating father.””

If you are Christian, this is a major credit for him. Had he not tried for reconciliation it would have been a major negative.

People do change for the good, as well as the bad - but we do change, constantly - and hopefully for the better.

I still do not support Newt because I don't think he has the management skills necessary for the job. And, he has so much other baggage that The Democrats will have a field day.

[It would be like someone who taught that drunkeness, gluttony and fornication was sin hanging out with drunks, gluttons and prostitutes.]

You sort of like what that guy Jesus did?

We certainly hope that one day, we might even become remotely as pure and perfect as you.

Now I know he can lead the republic! Thank you! I can toss away my Romney button and cast my vote for a person who has lived though the rough spots of life—he has been seasoned by life just like Reagan was. Thank you.

So it’s “much ado about nothing” as usual.

*Freedom-robbing*???????????????????
Any man (or woman) who physically beats, rapes or terrorizes anyone, a spouse, child or stranger should be prosecuted. For decades, abused wives were held captive in violent marriages - it was the ‘secret’ that families kept; out of embarassment or helplessness.

WHY, becuase of forgiveness?? Does that mean that he actually approved of what his father did to his mother and he? No big controversy here, time to move along!
