Newt is not my guy.

But his wife's behavior was inappropriate and if repeated today might rightly get her thrown in the slammer. She was never some poor little.thing used up and tossed aside by a man who wood her out of her maidenhood.

She made the bed they burned, and the poor wife abandoned on her deathbed crap has been thrown at Newt by conservatives (self included until I got straitened out a couple months ago ~ Mea Culpa) as if it were fact for decades...since prior to his leftward meanderings actually.

I don't want him as the nominee, but fair is fair.
His ex wife managed to paint him as a monster (with MSM help) for decades. I can't put that to right but I can absolutely block its continuance now.

If you want to gig him on Scuzzyflavor, or anthropomorphic global warming or any of his betrayals fine - I'm with you. But look the other way on a broken marriage resulting from a teacher seducing a student? Hell no. Newt was not the architect of that first failed marriage.

You attack things that are wrong. You don't attack the victim just because the victim is your political adversary. The teacher isn't
the victim in these student/teacher things. Regardless of sex.

Regardless of this specific event, Newt did cheat on his first 2 wives. It is documented fact. He broke his sacred vows twice. How can we trust such a man to keep an oath to the constitution?

I used to stay up late at night to hear The Newt on the floor of a empty House on CSPAN delivering some of the greatest lines in Conservative History only to sell us out and if you’re not in that camp so be it...
