and before reagan, it never had one who was divorced.
she passed away several years ago.
Newt Gingrich/ben Stein in 2008
"The US has never had a President who was married three times."
Especially when two of the marriages were to the aides he was cheating on the previous wife with.
A man who will cheat on his wife will cheat you too. I don't trust cheaters.
Well, if he runs, you won't have any choice. It will be the main thing written about him.
"Are you referring to girl #1 or girl #2, since he is now on his third wife.
"
Doesn't matter. He cheated on #1 with #2. Then he cheated on #2 with #3. He's a serial adulterer.
If a scientist found the cure for cancer, but was divorced 3 times, would you still take the medicine?
If a realtor could sell your home in this market, but was divorced, would you let him sell it?
Newt may or may not be great in a relationship, I don't know the specifics, but the man is very knowledgable in history and has a great conservative and realistic view of how our government should run. He's a great candidate and if the people here can't get over his marital troubles, then we will all lose in the end.

or
Ben Stein/Karl Rove, talk about demoncrap blood vessels bursting like gangbusters!!!
Neutered Newt still alive? Hmn!
You are completely ignoring Newt's involvement in this discussion. It is almost as if he is a passive observer and couldn't shape the discussion as he chooses, which couldn't be farther from the truth. If Newt were to run again it would be with something like the Contract with America. The media wouldn't have a choice on whether on not to discuss that. Newt has had several years to lick his wounds and prepare for the next round. It isn't 1999 again.
Any Republican who complained about Clinton's marital failures and thinks Newts are no big deal is a hypocrite

Allegations of rape and Oval Office sodomy might account for the different points of view.
Wow...how is one worse than the other? A lie is a lie regardless(whether under oath or not).
Yes!!
No one can deny that Newt made some brilliant moves in 1994. Trouble is that at the first whine from the liberals, Newt chose to resign. How are we to believe he would not do the same thing, if he were President?
Infidelities aside (and I'm saying that ONLY for the sake of argument), Newt got rolled pretty badly on the government shutdown. No one that inept in the face of opposition -- even, or perhaps especially, unfair opposition -- should be President.
As much as I admire Newt's intellect and ability to take it to the dimcrats, I do sense that Gingrich's Achilles' heel is his desire to be liked.
He has been so banged up by the media as the scourge of all scrooges that I know he just couldn't make the tough decisions behind the Oval Office desk.
That was Clinton's fatal flaw (apart from that other one), and I fear Newt suffers the same disposition to please.
He's been married THREE times.
Newt walked the walk and talked the talk.
He did the stand up thing when he resigned.
unlike clinton.
Now that we KNOW and he has fallen on his sword, we can evuate his qualifications. The measure of a man is his deeds. When Newt had done wrong he then did the correct thing to right the wrong as was appropriate for his station.
However Newt can make a difference, in fact a R majority makes it an even better launch vehicle for him.
(remember the picture of all the elephants at Captiol Hill.)
