GOP's First Spouses Club (Newt's long history of infedelity)
NY Daily News ^ | 10/1/2011

Posted on 11/13/2011 7:06:30 PM PST by Ripliancum

Jackie Battley was Gingrich’s geometry teacher in high school. They secretly dated until they got married on June 19, 1962.

...In 1980, the couple separated after Gingrich began an affair with Marianne Ginther.

Ginther met Gingrich at a political fundraiser in 1981. Ginther is the daughter of a former Ohio mayor. They married six months after Gingrich divorced his first wife, Jackie Battley.

...Gingrich began an affair with House of Representatives staffer Callista Bisek in the mid-1990s.

...Newt began an affair with Callista while she worked as an aide for the House of Representatives. They continued their affair during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Newt headed the investigation into charges that President Bill Clinton committed perjury throughout the Lewinsky affair. Newt and Callista married in 2000.

Did you expect a truthful answer ... from a Momronism apologist who works FR regularly for his victimhood fix?

The baggage worries me.

Yes. I sense that you are 'concerned'.

I'm torn between Mitt or Newt. Posting slimy MSM hit pieces like this makes me lean more toward Newt.

...or you could prove me wrong by showing all of us your posting record regarding exposing Mitt Romney’s extreme liberal record as a gay-loving, gun-grabbing, culture of death-supporting, big-government-loving statist....but somehow I am betting there is no such posting record.

Newt is a womanizer. Apparently so is Cain. Romney is a liberal. Perry is an incoherent idiot. Bachmann is a religious nut...

And on it goes. Is there any other Republican we can tear down? Here’s a novel idea: lets tear down Barry Hussein Obama, the Muslim Marxist. He is the enemy. Not my fellow Republicans. No Republican candidate is going to be perfect, but any one of the ten is 1000 times better than the golfer-in-chief who is destroying this country.

Cain has been married and faithful to the same woman even longer than Mitt. I swear, some of you people think that anything said about another candidate has to be a pro piece for Mitt. Take a deep breath and step away from the keyboard. Newt is pulling support from Cain right now. Mitt remains stagnant.

Look on the bright side. I doubt he will cheat on Callista. That girl’s got some very expensive taste (i.e. $500,000 LOC at Tiffany’s, vactations to the Greek Isles). I don’t think Newt could afford it. She’d take him to cleaners and never look back.

"But Jim, you just don't like Mormons."

Well, in your opinion, is Mitt Romney representative of the good Mormon? Do Mormons tolerate the immoral, godless liberal/socialist/progressive policies foisted on the good people of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and our nation by Governor Romney? Or are he and his ideological twin Harry Reid just rare examples of the evil side of Mormonism?

And no, I'm not a Gingrich supporter. He's smart and good at debating, but he's a RINO and I wouldn't trust him for dog catcher much less the presidency. He's down near the bottom of my list of eligible *cough* Republicans just before Ron Paul. Romney at the very bottom, of course, tied with Giuliani for when hell freezes over.

Notice if you will the subtle admission that this mormonism apologist is a ‘Cain supporter’ and in his mind Newt is pulling support from Herman. Of course the obnoxious nature of the poster’s way to support Herman adds negatives to Herman’sholdings at FR. So the poster gets a twofer, he smears Newt (such a typical mormonesuqe way to do it too, touting by inference that Newy is morally inferior to Mormons) and claims he supports Herman, thus he works to get his candidate the nomination by default. It is strategy worthy of the amoral Rominy camp. We saw their tricks in ‘07 and then in ‘08 as they sought to destroy Srah so Rominy would have a more open field for ‘11 and ‘12.

Actually what confuses me more about Newt is his conversion of faith from Southern Baptist to Catholicism.

I mean, for those Protestants that understand Baptist/Protestant doctrine, how does that happen? Makes me wonder if Newt can’t commit to marriage or faith, what can he commit to? All that wisdom Newt has, and yet, I wonder if he truly grasps the Doctrine of Salvation? Maybe it’s just me.

I’m still waiting for your posting record exposing Romney’s liberalism? After all, he’s the “front runner” so if something is wrong with him as a candidate I am sure you posted about it.....

Is that crickets I hear?

Sounds the the Holy Spirit’s fault to me.

Weird timeline.

Infidelity doesn’t stop in marraige. He will “jump into bed” with Pelosi, Reid, and main stream media to be loved at some point, as he already has before. I love to hear him at debates but there is more to leading than debate. Character, integrity have to join knowledge or you have NO wisdom.

>”Newt headed the investigation into charges that President Bill Clinton committed perjury throughout the Lewinsky affair”<

OK, did I miss the part where Newt committed Perjury?

I am not condoning his behavior, but I think this was more than his little head telling his big head what to do. None of us know what was happening in his Marriages and I find it curious that his Children do not seem to have any animosity towards him for what he may have done to their Mother.

At least Newt Marries the Women he had affairs with instead of having Government Employees running a “Bimbo Eruption” War Room in the White House. Clinton treated the women he had sex with like used Kleenex. Had Monica Lewinski not had the infamous Blue Dress, Clinton would have been treated as a Martyr. Strike that, he was treated as a Martyr and is the still the face of the Democrat Party.

If you're thinking Obama is the face of the Democrat Party think again, he is the face of the Communist Party.
