It looks like the Newt critics here several months ago were right about him. In the end, he is a RINO and not much different than Mitt Romney.

You didn’t really expect Newt to side with God, did you?

ACK!

Glad he didn’t get the nomination.

And he’s a CATHOLIC!

Double ACK.

I’ll happily see the country burn to the ground before having this gay-marriage farce being federally forced onto my state by these degenerate sickos.

As for Newt, I’ve given him a fair share of passes over the years, because he’s usually spot-on, despite deviating into weird-and-wacky territory about 20% of the time. But by taking this stance, Newt can just go straight to Hell. I really don’t give a damn about anything he has to say ever again, from here on out.

Newt has always been fortunate in having large numbers of people on the right who are willing to forget every asinine and counterproductive thing he's ever done before in order to cheer him on when he acts/sounds like a conservative. The man was instrumental during a brief moment of conservatism which he also helped to bring to a screeching halt, and he has since been granted a license by people like Sean Hannity to indulge his ego and generally provide a false alternative for people disgusted by whatever current crop of Republican mediocrities are being paraded out at any given time. If more of the GOP would show spine, fewer people would suddenly embrace Newt (yet again), and he'd be left to pick up whatever crumbs that the MSM throw his way... and little more.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again (and again, and again): Newt Gingrich is all about Newt Gingrich.

"The momentum is clearly now in the direction in finding some way to... accommodate and deal with reality,” he said. “And the reality is going to be that in a number of American states — and it will be more after 2014 — gay relationships will be legal, period.”

Newt likes to jump on that old bandwagon, without thinking it through. Natural law prevails. Popular culture is transient.

Newt and others conveniently fail to talk about facts such as persons with SSA are significantly more likely to have psychological disorders, substance abuse problems, suicidal ideation, and to have been victims of childhood sexual abuse and violence. The relationships of men with Same Sex Attraction (SSA) are more likely to be short-lived and are almost never faithful over time. The HIV/AIDS epidemic among men who have sex with men (MSM) continues unabated and has been linked to substance abuse and sexual addiction. Men who have sex with men are also 44 times more likely to be HIV positive, and far more likely to be inflected with other sexually transmitted diseases.

There is a very seedy side of same sex attraction that is not discussed. Nor does Newt (and others) talk about statistics dealing with those who switch from SSA to normal heterosexual relationships.

Kiss off, Newt. I don’t have to accept a damned thing-—and I won’t.

” ... gay relationships will be legal.”

The already are legal.

Redefining marriage — that is not yet legal in all states. Indeed, it is folly.

The line in the sand is forcing churches to participate in this sham. The gay lobby denies that is part of their agenda but I don’t believe them. Religious persecution comes next.

Have the feds issue the sodomites a marriage of equals license. Word it a little differently but give them the rights they so desperately crave.

Gingrich: Conservatives Will Have to Accept Marriage 'Equality'

Why? The majority of states voted against it, and if this election weren't the year of the parasitic voter, there's no proof the people in those states would have accepted it, either. (Those who have it weren't given a voice. It was forced on them by people like Newt.)
Now I'm glad this guy didn't win the primaries. He's crazy.

Just like we had to accept abortion in the first trimester, then on-demand abortion, then partial-birth abortion. Pretty soon we’ll have to accept out and out infanticide.

Likewise, we must accept “right to die,” “assisted suicide,” then euthanasia and finally “duty to die.”

I don’t know where “marriage equality” ends, but it sure doesn’t stop with just “gay marriage.” Normalization of Pedophilia? Beastiality? Don’t. Want. To. Know.

Newt tipped his hand almost 20 years ago, in 1995, when he cozied up to a Log Cabin Republican from Wisconsin, as I recall. Newt basically said at that point that he could accommodate gays, that there might be votes in it for the Repubs. At that point I realized he was not a man of principle but a political finger in the wind guy.

A seven year old told me that she was going to marry a girl. They are brainwashing them early to accept this and think it is normal.

Failing to prevent is not the same as acceptance.

It appears that there is no way to prevent the State’s recognizing same sex marriage. Therefore for some purposes I may have to treat same sex couples the same as traditional married couples. But the State can never make me accept the one the moral equivalent of the other.

Mr. Catholic speaks. Another fraud. I really do hate the “if you can’t beat em, join em” mentality.

I was just gonna say --- is this the Newt Gingrich folks were saying is a "real conservtive" --- unlike Mitt Romney?

Even the penguins and the bonobos know that when the male of the species attempts to mate with another male's anus, it's not a "sustainable" situation. I guess our beloved America going to have to crash right thrugh the floor before we realize that that self-satisfied, self-defined, self-serving sex is not the way to create really flourishing children, families, or societies.

Newt Gingrich said that conservatives will have to accept marriage equality after three more states this year voted to allow same sex marriage and more will likely do the same in the 2014 election.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Blow it out your poop chute, Mr. Married Three Times. Sorry, but you don’t get to weigh in on matters pertaining to marriage. Not from a conservative standpoint. And certainly not if you say we have to accept it.

The RINO Party might accept it. But then - they are irrelevant.

I want to forget I ever knew him. At least Romney was a good family man.

Send this around.

http://www.ionainstitute.ie/assets/files/Trad_Marriage_for-web-1+2.pdf

Preserving Marriage in a nutshell
u Every society has an interest in encouraging mothers and fathers to raise
their own children together
u Every society in history has developed the institution of marriage mainly
for that purpose
u It is this child-centred view of marriage which is enshrined in Article 16 of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights
u Abundant research shows that the family based on the marriage of a child’s biological
mother and father generally produces the best outcomes for children (See note below)
u Changing the definition of marriage to accommodate same-sex couples logically leads us
to say that being raised by their own mother and father does not matter to children or society
u It is not discrimination to treat something that is unique in a unique way, and marriage as
currently defined is uniquely pro-child
u While it is obviously true that not all married couples have children, nonetheless it is equally
true that every child has a mother and father
Note: ‘Research clearly demonstrates that family structure matters for children, and the family structure that helps the most is a family headed by two biological parents in a low conflict marriage’

– Marriage from a Child’s Perspective
(A Child Trends Research Brief. This is a summary of many studies about marriage and its effects on children)
(Research showing that children do as well when raised by same-sex couples is based on very small samples and the
samples are usually not randomly chosen)
