I don’t care about his divorces. I do care about his RINOness
....when he spoke on Dobson's radio show in 2007, Gingrich refused to say that he was actually repentant. The evangelical leader repeatedly pressed him on that point: "When I hear you talk about this dark side of your life...you didn't mention repentance. Do you understand that word repentance?"
-- from the thread Newt and Evangelicals: Not a Match Made in Heaven
"Mrs. Gingrich #2 was dumped after her husband had carried on an extramarital affair with a fetching, blond congressional staffer named Callista Bisek, who went on to become the present Mrs. Gingrich #3. This Family Values paradigm was complicated by the fact that whilst Mr. Gingrich was filibustering Ms. Bisek over the Speaker’s desk, he was simultaneously leading the impeachment charge against a naughty president of the United States....The much-married Newt Gingrich converts to Catholicism this weekend—and I’d pay a year’s salary to have been a bug on the wall during his religious instruction."Related thread:

The spendthrift, big-government, global-warming supporting side of him is why I’ll not be voting for him. Oh, that and the lobbying against conservatives on behalf of Fannie Mae. And the whole “compassionate conservatism” idiocy.
He’s a consummate politician in a time when talk is cheap. No thanks.
Right. Like this demo is going to stay home or vote for Obama instead.
This country has to first back away from socialism before we can go back to chosing leaders based on faith and social issues.
I wish it was not this way, but backing away from socialism; from either Obama or another RINO is much more important.
AMAZING GRACE, available to ALL.
If a conservative having been divorced is such a problem for evangelicals, they better stop listening to Rush Limbaugh, he’s on marriage #4 and Ronald Reagan was divorced as well. While, it certainly would be nice if a candidate married his high school sweetheart and was faithful his entire life, for me at least, a divorce isn’t a deal breaker. I voting for the best leader, not husband of the year...
IMHO, the GOP needs a teacher to educate the American people how corrupt our government has become.
Newt could be that man.
SEIU infiltration into local governments.
Acorn infiltration into local elections.
Stock market manipulation by elected officials.
Green movement being used as a slush fund for the DNC.
Communist party gaining power within the DNC.
Again IMHO, these things are far more important than if Newt is a Christian or how many times he’s been divorced.
I speak ONLY for this Evangelical. I hope he is sincere. I hope he is forgiven. Heaven knows I am a nothing in the eyes of God and not about to weigh in on his eternal judgment. But ...
Will I vote for him? Never, ever.
Let me see if I follow the logic... we should dump Perry because we dissagree with him on one issue, and we should dump Cain because a few liberals accused him of being flirtatous.
And we should choose someone we dissagree with on lots of issues, who has a admitted history of infildelity and is on her 3rd wife...
got it.
lol
What’s an ‘Evangelical’ ?
I never heard of that term before it was made up in the 2000s or so. Sounds like Evangelical means Christian.
Who will cast the first stone?
He found that women are especially wary of Gingrich.
They’re right. They are so much better off with a guy who supports Sharia supporting Muslim countries and organizations in the U.S. as President.
(Saracsm)
He divorced his second wife after 18 years. He commented "she is a Jaguar, and I fell like a Chevrolet'.
In both his divorces he met and proposed to the next wife before being separated from his current wife at the time.
He is a left leaning moderate. He is not conservative.
He is a declared internationalist and loves Toffler’s Book “The Third Wave” (hope the name is correct).
His personal life is his and it also indicates how he thinks and operates.
The fact he divorced his first wife while she was in the hospital with cancer ... shows narcissistic character. He had already asked his girlfriend to be his wife and marry him before he divorced the first. Eighteen years later ... he did it again. !!!
Sure enough the Toffler book is "FUTURE SHOCK". Newt sings its praises.
Hot air newt. He agrees with whomever just wrote him the biggest check.
I don’t care if Newt and Calista publicly seek other women for threesomes on Craig’s List. That does not affect me. Another term for 0bama affects America very badly.
Newt can survive the few posters that are so blind they forgot what Newt accomplished as Speaker. Sorry, complaining posters, we don’t need you or your vote.
Are the ‘Jesus Only’ voters in Iowa confused or taking the year off? Maybe the dumping of Bachmann shows some of them have caught on about how the process works.
Will not vote for him.
His divorces do not bother me nearly as much as the economy does.
