Bob Walker, a senior Gingrich adviser, says the campaign will fight back. “It is pretty nasty to use personal tragedy for political exploitation,” he says. “That was a very bitter divorce, and you’re talking about somebody who is still, probably, very bitter.”
Below, Gingrich’s daughters issue a memo to ABC News:
To: ABC News Leadership
From: Kathy Lubbers, Jackie Cushman
Date: January 18, 2012
The failure of a marriage is a terrible and emotional experience for everyone involved. Anyone who has had that experience understands it is a personal tragedy filled with regrets, and sometimes differing memories of events.
We will not say anything negative about our father’s ex-wife. He has said before, privately and publicly, that he regrets any pain he may have caused in the past to people he loves.
ABC News or other campaigns may want to talk about the past, just days before an important primary election. But Newt is going to talk to the people of South Carolina about the future– about job creation, lower taxes, and about who can defeat Barack Obama by providing the sharpest contrast to his damaging, extreme liberalism. We are confident this is the conversation the people of South Carolina are interested in having.
Our father is running for President because of his grandchildren – so they can inherit the America he loves. To do that, President Obama must be defeated. And as the only candidate in the race, including Obama, who has actually helped balance the national budget, create jobs, reform welfare, and cut taxes and spending, Newt felt compelled to run – to serve his country and safeguard his grandchildren’s future.

I know, his whole marital history is creepy beyond belief
He hasn’t been born yet. Love you guys who criticize everybody since you are just so above politics. Good luck with that.
Pray for America
Hey, this proves Romney's not a used car salesman- he's an aborted fetus salesman. I think I just found a new tagline!
Don’t worry. We will see non-stop hit pieces on the Mormon Church if and when Romney wins the nomination (or is the only candidate left in the GOP). Count on it.
Satan says that bad things in our past disqualify us from being able to do good in the future.
What say you?
Or his beard.
yeah well I am a mother of children and wish we were living in the world of my childhood without sex sex sex sex inflaming everybody’s mind all the time
And Mormonism...........ick
LOL, very, very, very hard for a politician to sue anyone.
What good would he do here? Apparently, Newt wasn’t able to get a shut-up clause written into their divorce.
I say satan is a liar and a loser and it is written “I saw satan fall from the sky like a flash of lightening
Libel is Libel.
hear Hear!!
And Mormonism...........ick

+1 from me. Although my being Mormon did end up having something to do with my conversion to Christ, it made me see that I wasn’t really a Christian even though I said and thought I was.
I am happy you are His; you were created for Him.
I know a lady who was badly hurt by the Mormons....so ick plus 1
And the stuff the MSM is gonna pull up about LDS inc will make the RF threads look like a day at the beach.
I hope that by now, after they’ve done this a few times, we’ve come to the man who will punch back and keep punching until the opposition is a bloody mess on the political floor.
Wait until Zer0 gets divorced from the White Hut.
I am sorry about your friend. Sadly it happens too often, anyone who thinks they are these wonderful, family oriented good neighborly conservative people, needs to spend some time in the ex-mormon support forums online.
Just the fact there there are hundreds of support groups for them speaks volumes.
How many ex-methodist support groups do you know of?
I can’t help but truly feel sorry for Mr. Gingrich when it comes to women.
He was 16 years old, and his geometry teacher should have known better. His second wife sounds like a real chain-smoking winner, too.
Sigh.
