"It was his FIRST WIFE that was not pretty enough to be First Lady."

Thank you for sourcing your obviously accurate contention...at least according to one named person who is willing to be publicly quoted.

It does not change my judgment of Newt one wit. He's a scumbag. I think it's plain silly to suggest how he treated his ex-wives...or what he thought of them...in the qualifications for the office.

I recognize and respect any who consider these issues deal breakers. I'm not one of them.

And, he is the only person in the GOP field that can beat Obama and Romney.

Vote for anyone you wish in the primary. When the general election comes around please consider who is the best choice of the two on the ballot.

If it's Newt and Obama, would you choose Obama because he's a good, faithful family man?

I saw on one of these threads that “Newt is a scumbag”. Another FReeper replied, “Yeah, but he’s our scumbag.”

I can understand that. IF (big if) I vote for Newt, it will be based on his abilities to turn his many and obvious failures into lemonade.

If he can’t convince me, then I will vote for Mitt. At least Mitt does not have the moral issues that Newt does.
