Yes, he did it twice. Cheated on wife number 1 and got married to her, and did the same thing again. He’s on wife number three, both times cheated on his wife while he was married to them.
He quit as speaker too, got his butt handed to him after he tried to shut the government down. Rather then stick it out, he flamed out.
94 had very little to do with Newt, and everything to do with a population that was against Hillarycare. Same as crediting Boner with 2010.
I see it as even worse than being a serial adulterer. He gave his first wife divorce papers THE DAY AFTER SURGERY FOR UTERINE CANCER!!! THE DAY AFTER! That’s NOT what I call “sticking with his family”.
Then his 2nd wife? She had just been diagnosed with MS! He told her during a counseling session she basically had to demand of him that she “is a jaguar, and I need a Chevy”.
It’s also been reported that he had already proposed to his next wives BEFORE divorcing his current ones.
[PS - it was a different time and place, but his 1st wife was his GEOMETRY TEACHER - he was 16 when they reportedly began their romance... Nowadays, she would have been put in jail, and rightfully so, IMHO.]
When the going gets tough - Newt gets going... away!
He was thrown out of office by his OWN PARTY back during Monica-gate.
I don’t know who I’ll support now - however, I have SERIOUS qualms about supporting Mr. Gingrich. I don’t know if it still stems from my own history as I was still making that journey from liberal to conservative, but even looking back on it now I can’t say that Newt was “set-up”, and that his downfall was all a result of Dem tricks.
It’s going to take some time to look again with a clear-head. If I had to vote TODAY I’d probably stay home. If the vote was TOMORROW - I’d probably stay home as well. Seeing that it’s a little less than 12 months till the REAL election - who knows what I’ll decide. I’m in a wait and see mode now.
