Now we have Noot and people here say he has been redeemed or something for all his immorality and want all of us to get on his bandwagon. And the Church has given him an annulment; who knows what that means for children, perhaps they are illegitimate who knows.
What's good enough for Rudy is good enough for Noot IMO.
This vindictive ex may just create more empathy for Newt. Sometimes these things backfire.
The late great Congressman Larry McDonald of Georgia ran for Congress and lost. Two years later he was going through a nasty divorce, with even his estranged wife having him arrested, and he pulled out an electoral victory.
Marianne Gingrich has said she could end her ex-husband’s career with a single interview. Earlier this week, she sat before ABCNEWS cameras, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Oh thank God this is getting out now so we can all vote for Santorum....no ex-wives and numerous girlfriends out there. God really is answering my prayers in having Santorum as our nominee. Thank you God!!!!!
Is this the ex-wife who “dying of cancer” that she never had?
I smell Mitt’s Money. But unless Newt’s a child molester, I doubt she can say anything to surprise us.
Which season episode is this?
Is this the school teacher who started screwing Newt when he was in high school?
Oh Yeah I am going to put a lot of faith in the words of a pedophile.
Let's see - if I'm counting right, that may very well be three top conservative contenders down and basically one top contender remaining.
At some point, we may have to get serious about the possibility of a general election between "The One Who we have been waiting for" and Romney. If so, are we going to vote against Obama or not vote (= a vote for Obama). Another four years of Obama is worst case scenario IMO.
A word about the GOP:
I wonder how long the GOP has been a soft Liberal party. I believe Reagan stole the party back from the Liberals ("moderates") in 1980. Eisenhower allowed taxes and government to grow crazily in the 50's. How far back do you have to go? I think sometime in the late 1800's/early 1900's, America found itself without a political party that would put America and its Christian, traditional values first. I think ever since then the GOP has put its own interests and political perpetuation ahead of what's best for America.
The country has withstood an amazingly long period of time without sustained organizational and institutional support. May God Himself continue to bless and uphold America against her enemies, within and without, until He returns for His own.
I don't know what really happened between Newt and his ex. And I would not fully believe either of them. But I do know that plenty of time has passed, and I am sure things were settled legally and financially between them.
If every woman (or man) who was hurt in a marriage by their spouse's extra-marital activities held a grudge and tried to get revenge years later, the world would be a continually angry battleground full of smears, gossip, and hate (and we almost have that).
And, if this woman is still a Catholic hasn't she learned about "Forgiveness?" It does a soul much better than going public with one's hatred. She might never forget her hurt, but for her soul, she should forgive and leave the justice to the Lord. I can speak from experience, having endured similar. It does not pay to be vindictive and hateful. In the end, if Newt has done wrong and committed sins...God will take care of the revenge.
I don't at all support men having low morals, or being unfaithful, but this was a drama of long ago, and no matter what is told to us now, it will be colored by the agendas of either person. So, why in the world is this woman seeking to destroy him now? Probably for the $$$$$$$$$$$$$. And what good can she do for us, anyway?
It is obvious that there are few honorable politicians in either party anymore. I don't know if I could support Newt or not. Not sure about any of the candidates, except I know I don't want Ron Paul.
However, there are many politicians with questionable morals . And it seems that in the past 40 years the majority of politicians seem to have been bitten by the bug of severe narcissism, ignoring morals and using any means to justify their ends and goals. Many of these men have traits and capabilities that are worthy and useful, but they destroy themselves with the sins of pride, lust, and greed. I am so weary of leaders who abuse their power for the sake of personal gratification in any way. When will it end?
“awfully messy attack to try with the, er, “Chevrolet” sitting in the audience in front of him.”
Does this mean that Marianne is going to be at the debate starring down Newt? Pretty sleazy if so.
The old, disgruntled ex-wife. One should always check in with them prior to deciding who you are going to vote for. The people living in this country are morons!
I guess it wouldn't do any good to tell her that she's whoring herself like Cindy Sheehan. And just like Cindy, I'm sure her family will really appreciate it, too.
That should go over well with UAW workers at least!
Unfortunately, it would basically has Zero effect!
why?
Because people are quite forgiving, and they would be
willing to forgive Newt, especially he has said many
times that he made mistakes — all are in the past!
Lets move forward!
Er, I thought we already knew that Newt wasn’t exactly an exemplary husband? How exactly, other than as a desperate mudslinging move probably financed by the Romney campaign, is this supposed to matter for anything?
Newt ought to tell ABC to air the tape. What does he have to fear from a bitter, ex wife? Fortunately for Newt most women don’t stand by other women.
I don’t care what she says. We don’t even have own candidates. That’s what worries me. So why do we always have to get our panties in a wad or people who shouldn’t be there.
I know all this about him. I decided he admitted it, he repented and he won’t do it with the current wifey. He knows right from wrong and is not hiding stuff. He knows he has been a failure in relationships with women. We all know he this about him. If a woman is dragged out who he has a current affiar with...then he’s a problem to me. I am not voting for the Pope.
I know he was sexually abused as a teen by a twisted adult teacher who he married and then divorced. Chances are Newt is warped in relationships with women given he did not have the opportunity to sexually mature normally. A boy in a sexual and marriage relationship with a woman is up for serious manipulation and psychological abuse which he in turn, will share freely with everyone he meets as a man. A woman interested in a boy for sex and marriage has serious psychological issues.
Whatever the case, this willingness to undermine him says that the Catholic Church was right to grant an annulment. This was a relationship that should not have been in the first place. It was groundless.
