If this is true -and I have no reason to believe it isn’t- it changes my perception about Gingrich considerably. He’s still got a lot of baggage though.

You mean all this time, the media has been lying?

I’m shocked. Shocked!

She was an adult teacher and molested newt (no matter how willingly).

Newt ever since has been led through life by his “newt.”. He is a risk, a national security risk. He can’t resist a snapping thong panty.

Honestly and I live in Atlanta, most people think Newt’s wife had cancer and that he was trying to get her to sign divorce papers on her deathbed so to speak. Thats the story we always heard even down here. I thought the woman was dead myself.

It doesn't change one thing about my opinion of him. He was my congressman for years. At the height of the Lewinsky affair, Clinton lying under oath, etc. My Congressman and Our Speaker said in a videotaped meeting (I saw it) said effectively that he would hold Mr. Clinton's feet to the fire for political policy, national security negligence, moral and ethical performance, etc....IOW the whole ball of wax that was Slick Willie.

This NEVER came to pass. It never came to pass because ole pudgy, Newt, was screwing his aide, now 'wife', Callista, whose name he now drops whenever he gets the chance. He got caught and resigned. He knew when he promised due diligence to uphold conservative values he couldn't deliver and to make it worse, he didn't even fit the mold himself.

He is a seriously flawed person and it will be a cold day in Hell when I vote for him in a primary OR general election. I don't care what his daughter says.

I don’t give a crap about Newt’s personal life.

He’s a phony pseudo-conservative. That’s what I care about.

Good for her to help clarify the media’s lies.

I saw Newt sitting with Nancy pimping an Al Gore 'climate crisis' website and all concerned that we must do something and spend lots of taxpayers money immediately to deal with climate change. Newt? NEVER.

So, did you vote for John McCain in '08? Maybe you should look up Carol Shepp McCain on wikipedia, if you are not familiar with her story.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

This.

Ever since he caved to Clinton in ‘95 (I think that’s when) I wrote him off.

He has decent commentary on a limited number of issues. No doubt he has a high IQ and is very articulate.

But he is not Presidential material.

This correct information has been out for years.

The brain-dead and non readers found in abundance here on FR have skipped over the truth for years.

I wasn't interested in any background marital brouhaha as far as McCain goes to be frank. I was against him from the start because I think he is actually certifiably insane, period.

After much discussion, contention, explanation here about he's better than so-and-so, etc. I relented and voted for his sorry butt. The only bright spot of the whole event was Sarah Palin.

Will the same thing happen this time? Hell No! As I said, I am very familiar with Gingrich. He was my Congressman and he betrayed me personally. I will not vote for him under ANY circumstances.

I thought she was dead as well. It just goes to show that you MUST stand up to lies AT THE TIME. You can’t allow the press to get away with it. When will conservatives LEARN???

Likewise, I remember Newt shaking hands with B Clinton promising to form a blue ribbon commission on something for which BC would later take “bipartisan” credit for. Maybe it was saving soc security or some other manipulation. Newt CAN’T be the best the GOP can offer. Enough of the old, white male, RINO relics.

Ok, i always heard that when his wife was dying of cancer, he dumped her. This sure is a different story. If it was as the urban legend says, doubt his kids would defend him.

Freaking leftists,,,
I utterly enjoyed his US history lecture series.
But i am very unforgiving about his support of Global warming, and sitting on that sofa with Pelosi.
That was the signature effort of the forces trying to destroy America. And he helped.
