I believe Cain refused to give her a job, and to save face, in her distorted way, told her boyfriend he made a move on her, so she refused the job. Bimbos don’t like to be shot down.

You can believe what liberals are putting out there, or you can believe Newt and Jackie’s own daughter, who says that her parents had grown apart, divorce was her mother’s idea, and that they went over the papers while she was recuperating from the removal of a benign tumor. Battley has refused interviews for years, but it will be interesting what she has to say if he wins the nomination.

Newt’s personal baggage-

But the most notorious of them all is undoubtedly Gingrich, who ran for Congress in 1978 on the slogan, “Let Our Family Represent Your Family.” (He was reportedly cheating on his first wife at the time). In 1995, an alleged mistress from that period, Anne Manning, told Vanity Fair’s Gail Sheehy: “We had oral sex. He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, ‘I never slept with her.’” Gingrich obtained his first divorce in 1981, after forcing his wife, who had helped put him through graduate school, to haggle over the terms while in the hospital, as she recovered from uterine cancer surgery. In 1999, he was disgraced again, having been caught in an affair with a 33-year-old congressional aide while spearheading the impeachment proceedings against President Clinton.

This does it for me. I now have no doubts that the recent slew of news stories have been orchestrated. The facebook numbers probably grew due to hiring a firm that specializes in increasing the numbers. This is Karl Rove propaganda at work.

So his daugther’s testimony relieves Newt from his infidelity and his philandering while on the taxpayer's dime?

Wonder how many DC Hotel rooms and dinner dates we paid for to have Newt entertain his interns?

Bed, Shed and Wed syndrome?

Feel free going with Vanity Fair as your source on this conservative website. I’ll stick with Newt’s daughter, who has a great relationship with both her parents. This much can all be verified: Newt was 18 when he married his 26 year old geometry teacher Battley. The divorce was her idea. Vanity Fair is lying about the ovarian cancer. It was a benign tumor. Gingrich was not “disgraced” by the affair with Callista Bisek, because he was out of office when it became public knowlede. The left is overplaying its hand with this one, and it is going to boomerang on them.

We are a long away from the primaries, a year away from the election and the Republican primary process is already wearing on me.

I am pretty sure that there are millions of others that feel like I do.

I know that politics are brutal, but I have the distinct feeling that I am being set up by the MSM, the RNC or both.

Again, Gingrich’s lack of respect for the sacrament is reprehensible. However, as a Christian, I am compelled to respect his testimony that he has undergone an epiphany, appealed to God for forgiveness, and been granted it.

My point is that the left is overplaying its hand by embellishing the story. Newt is being coying by putting off explaining himself for as long as possible. When people find out that the circumstances of his divorce were not what that (or you) have been led to believe, I predict that the majority reaction will be disinterest or even backlash against the media. And that, as they say, will be that. No one is going to vote for the pro abortion, pro gay marriage candidate because Newt’s been married three time. If you want to stop him on the divorces, you can try right now, but I doubt you’ll be sucessful.

We are a long away from the primaries,

Huh? We are six weeks away from Iowa. South Carolina is January 21, at which point the Republican field will essentially be reduced to two candidates: Romney and "not Romney."

That is a long way, with it being flogged the way it is.

If you take for fact that buy-a-lick is telling the truth about Cain you might be on to something.

If you think shes fuller than a portapotty at OWS like I do you can’t be sure what they will throw at you next.

Just because newt thinks everything is out in the open does not mean they won’t make something up.

Again, I am a Cain fan. I am convinced he's done nothing wrong, but better political instincts would have put this story to bed on day one. Not saying it's fair, but them's the facts.

IT is more likely than not that Gingrich bought most of his Facebook followers from facebook account wholesalers on the black market, just like he did for twitter.com followers.

Newt Gingrich’s Twitter Followers Are 8% Human [INFOGRAPHIC]

When New York search company PeekYou happened to start crunching the numbers on GOP candidates’ Twitter followers last month, they encountered a number so odd that they thought they must have done the math wrong.

The startup uses an algorithm to determine how many of your followers are consumers, i.e. actual identifiable human beings, as opposed to spam accounts, business accounts and private accounts. (The company is so maniacal about making sure it has correctly identified spambots, it bought access to thousands of them on eBay.)

When it came to the GOP field, what stood out was the percentage of verifiable humans that follow Newt Gingrich: just 8% of the total.
