I love the way Newt has smacked down the media and Obama during the debates. That is what has gotten him to where he is now. His response is red meat for those of us conservatives who are sick of the MSM.
But beyond our walls, this is going to hurt Newt. His response (while great) is not going to make the issue go away or garner him any significant votes. He will lose votes over this issue. The story hasn’t even aired yet. Wait until the comedians get hold of this over the next few weeks. That is whey it will sink in with Americans.
I think we are more forgiving as a society now of marital issues. But this is more than just an “inadvertant” affair. 6 years in HIS WIFEs bed (not a motel or someplace else). Asking for an open marriage (I know no way to prove it. but like cain he will be presumed guilty by the vast majority). I think this story is just too much for many too stomach.
The MSM is horrible in the tank for the dems. ABC is fast becoming the worst. Unfortunately for us, a lot of people still take what they say as truth. And this barrage against Newt is just the beginning for him or whoever the nominee will be. The MSM destroyed Herman Cain. They destroyed any change of Sarah Palin ever becoming president. And they are at it again.
I wish it weren’t so, but this is a bad blow for Newts campaign in the long run. He may win SC, but will cost him down the road.
He and his wife were separated and had agreed to date other people. I really don’t care. I was actually more concerned about the issue a few weeks ago.
Uh, if folks like you continue to spittle the lies rather than cite the truth of the matter, then yes, it will not bode well for America. But then some folks find more solace in gutter play than in standing up for what is right, and spreading the lies spewed by the media is not ‘what is right’.
The fact is Newt and his ex-wife were seperated for 6 yrs. living apart. They agreed each other could date during that time...Newt attempted a reconciliation after that but it flopped majorly. He filed for divorce and she knew well this was coming for years.
Hopefully the truth of the events will come out...but it appears the news organizations aren't interested in talking with those who can dispute Newt's ex-wifes attacks.
I looked into this further today...went way back in history to see what their marriage and relationship was about. IMO it was a marriage which should have never happened.
