Gingrich Divorce Papers Magically Appear In Media Hands (Sealed records)
Human Events ^ | December 27, 2011 | John Hayward

Posted on 12/27/2011 9:06:53 AM PST by Smokeyblue

To this day, Barack Hussein Obama remains a man of mystery. Copious amounts of documentation from his early life and academic career have never been released. It took years of pressure, plus Donald Trump as the ringmaster of a media circus, just to see his birth certificate.

When the L.A. Times obtained a potentially embarrassing videotape of Obama laughing it up at a party for Arafat minion Rashid Khalidi, the paper pursed its lips and fastidiously hid the tape from public view. Their newspaper account of the part didn’t even mention that domestic terrorist Friends of Obama Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn attended the event. Another important connection from Obama’s past, his long attendance at Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s church of racial hatred, was carefully buried by the media until conservative radio hosts and bloggers dragged it into the open.

The rules for “vetting” are very different for Republican candidates. We’ve already seen murky allegations from Herman Cain’s past assigned a level of instant credibility that would never have been granted if he were a black Democrat. Even after a much more serious accusation of a long-running consensual affair caused Cain to suspend his campaign, we still don’t know exactly what the initial “sexual harassment” accusers complained about.

Now CNN has magically obtained the sealed records of Newt Gingrich’s first divorce. Here’s the wonderful story of how this Yuletide journalistic miracle came to pass:

They will exploit the past racist elements of Mormonism, they will paint Romney as the poster boy for Bain against Obama’s fair-shot campaign, and his wealth will be the perfect example of rich Republicans... I have no idea how romney will respond...

“A few months before he announced, Cain discontinued payments to the lady he had been helping out for over a decade.”

And she repaid him by going public, and lying about Cain. Spreaks volumes about her, doesn’t it?

“He honestly admitted that when confronted.”

That’s because Cain is a honest and a good man.

“The fact that his wife was not informed did not help him.”

Yeah, which is why we are supposed to support a serial adulter? Cain tried to help someone out who needed a hand. For that, he gets savaged and destroyed by the powers that be. Now we get a serial adulterer on wife number 3.

“The fear was real that there were more young ladies other than the four.”

Why didn’t she release the texts? If there was anything salacious in them, it would have been contained in the texts. Answer, there’s nothing there. She knew that revealing it would instantly make Cain out to be the hero, so she refused to release their content.

“Nobody ruined Cain. Everyone was treated the same by establishment, including my candidate which the Cain campaign delighted in. I’m thrilled Cain dropped out. His theater was a distraction.”

Perry? Bachmann? I’m not sure why I’d delight in any of them getting attacked. Cain was beating them at their own game. He was the better candidate.

Now we are stuck with Obama coming off looking like a champion compared with Newt and Romney. I don’t want him re-elected. I want someone who can win, and that ain’t Newt.

“As far as Gingrich goes, I don’t think his divorces matter.”

Yet not telling your wife that you are helping someone out does? Dude, the man is a serial adulterer. If you were at all consistant, you’d be far more concerned about Newt.

Most likely Newt has already filed NUMEROUS DIVORCE PAPERS with all sorts of things, and he knows who has them. Should any one of them appear he has but to read the material to know who let them loose.

Then he can file charges and that individual is ruint.

It wasn't Newt's story that SHE wanted a divorce ~ that was the daughter's story.

I predicted they’d wait to release this after they took out all the real conservatives so it would be Newt + Romney.

Now, they kneecap Newt, so our choices are just Romney. Then they kneecap Romney when he wins the nomination and Obama plays hoops for another 4 years while America burns.

Then conservatives wonder “why can’t we beat this guy”?

Answer, because you didn’t stick up for Cain.

I saw Obama on Nightline one night and they asked him about the 9-9-9 plan. He said “Just another tax cut for the rich.” He definitely plans to use class warfare. You are right. It will not matter who we put up against him. We just need to rally around whoever we choose and stand our ground. None of our candidates are going to be perfect but at least they will not attempt to bring about the decline of America.

I think at some point some candidate after his run is ruined by some enterprising political hack or fool needs to either personally or hire out to have the guys kneecaps taken out. After a few these mysterious happenings, my bet is few would come forth in the future.

Newt’s done, Gator. The only question now is whether Romney cruises to the finish line, or conservatives wake up and back one of the actual conservatives.

Too much to expect.

criminal prosecution for the clerks who allowed this to happen.

contempt and fines for CNN for aiding and abetting a felony.

If a lawyer is involved, emergency suspension followed by disbarment.

Cain destroyed himself. He was a political lightweight that ran on slogans and had a bit more backstory than “rocket scientist” and “business turnaround expert.” Lame candidate that got popular when Palin didn’t run.

And that’s what you folks did to Cain. Sorry if you don’t like the truth, but that’s the truth. I was here for it.

LOL... The truth isn’t hurting me. Heck, I am too busy laughing at you crybaby Cain suckers to feel bad about anything.

I continue to believe that Newt is still going to win, but if he doesn’t and Romney does, giving us another 4 years of Obama, I guess that you, and your kind, will still see that as a win.

Actually you’re right, Newt is probably the perfect counter to this. He can say, “Ok I was a swine in the past what of it!”. Then what he needs to do if elected go after them with all the power of the Fed legal system ! To get this stuff someone is breaking federal privacy laws. (Which are of course always followed to the exact letter of the law when its a Rat candidate!) Newt probably has enough balls and the desire for the sweet taste of revenge to do this! The only way this will stop is for the malefactors to pay and pay dearly! Every other GOP candidate would take the “High Road”, I don’t think that can be done anymore. For example I hoped when Cain dropped out he was going to lower the boom on Alfred,trace it back to Axlerod (if possible!) and his bimbo accusers, instead he seems to be doing the normal GOP thing of being above it. That no longer works! In fact Cain could in the long run do more for the country & our system of government by staying a private citizen and expose these people and their practices. The GOP’s past lack of anything approaching a response other then “tsk tsk” has just emboldened and enables this. Each time the Rat smear tactic is more illegal “over the top” What’s next real political assassinations as a Rat tactic, the GOP still pretends Rats are the “loyal opposition”. This as a political tactic has to stop and it has to be stopped hard! It is going to require an SOB to do it. I think Newt is that SOB. (Truth in advertising I was originally for Pailn, thought Cain was intriguing, always have thought Newt brilliant but had many of the same maturity flaws as Slick William. I am now willing to see if he has finally “matured”. Again right now we need a “bomb thrower” and the bombs have to strike targets not just make noise! Who else has the motivation & hard internal core to do that?

After all this time we see these records on Obama’s possible opponents bubble to the surface except for (drum roll) . . . Barack Hussein Obama’s. Here's a man who's spent over $2 million on lawyers locking away all his personal data from his birth certificate to school records to? Not one MSM type is curious? How bloody strange is that? Hmmmm.

Couldn't the Human Events folks at least have the decency to refer to it as the "supposed birth certificate"? No one with half a brain could possibly think the April 27 release was genuine when presented with even half-hearted analysis of it.

No, having an actual conservative win, would be a win.

Having the three card monte “which shell is the pearl under” of Newt, Romney and Obama, the only outcome is a loss.

The good thing is that there’s still time to back a real conservative who isn’t going to backstab us when he gets in. Hopefully more conservatives realise that the folks who actually vote aren’t going to vote for someone like Newt.

You may be right about Newt. However, to equate Romney with Obama is absurd. Perhaps you just wanted to attract controversy. Or you have not followed what Obama has done. Nobody on the GOP side will make the kind of appointments Obama has made such as Eric Holder and many others. As somebody commented, Obama hates this country.

It would have worked if people backed him and saw what he was doing and why. Now we all have to live with the consequences of him backing out. He’s a good man and he was the best we had up for the race. Now, he’s out and guess what, the lineup we have isn’t going to draw Republicans out to vote in 2012. They all have serious flaws which Obama is going to exploit and already is exploiting.

Seriously. You’re a young woman or a young man like me. Never married, or married to your husband with a couple kids. Your options:

1. Romney. Supports Obamacare and is mormon.
2. Newt. Supports Obamacare and has been married three times.
3. Paul. Rejects Obamacare and Israel.
4. Obama.

Why on earth would I vote for any of these clowns?

“And that’s what you folks did to Cain. Sorry if you don’t like the truth, but that’s the truth. I was here for it.”

Palin was my candidate and I’m not too thrilled with her shenanigans lately. I never once posted about Cain. Not one single time. I never voiced an opinion about him. I figured I would keep my posts about the candidates down to a minimum since it only winds up hurting conservatives as a whole.

I still don’t have an official candidate yet but you can rest assured I will faithfully be there voting at the primary and the general election to see to it that Obama is thrown out.

But since you are so snotty...here is my opinion of Cain. He’s a guy who wanted to sell books and get a better radio contract deal.

He was a nobody from nowhere going no place. He rode a temporary wave created by a vacuum of strong, outsider candidates.

Sorry the truth hurts.

P.S.

Why didn’t Cain release the e-mail texts himself. Does he not have copies himself. Actually I don’t care. I think Cain fooled around half the time and was railroaded the other half.

Same deal as with Jack Ryan.

Right you are. But the difference here is that Jack Ryan was capable of embarrassment and wanted to spare his wife the ordeal.

I'm not so sure the same applies to Newt.

However, this could still be a blessing in disguise if it sends Newt supporters to Santorum and/or Bachmann, the only real conservative alternatives competing in Iowa.

The rise of Trump ought to tell everyone what is missing in our candidates. He was not even conservative but he knew how to go after Obama. People view Obama as a bully who nobody will take on. Newt is calling him a radical and the RNC wants none of that. How can we win if we cannot even define our adversary?
