Gingrich = family values?

Who cares if he'll put judges on the Supreme Court that will overturn Roe, uphold DOMA and stop gay marriage? Who cares if Gingrich is flawed if he will reinstate DADT?

“Frankly, I think Newt should stonewall the whole thing.”

Stonewall?

Are you kidding?

Stonewall was a very long time ago and in NYC and I don’t think Newt had anything to do with that.

However, Newt does need to categorically deny that he ever Proposed Open Marriage.

Spoken with liberal talking points........as a refresher to the Clinton lewinsky saga. Newt and the impeachment of Clinton were never about the affair, it was about the lying under oath. Stop repeating the liberal nonsense.

I care because I try to be consistent in my values.

Food for thought. The only candidate (now out) with any class at all is Rick Perry. His farewell speech today was magnificant and magnanimous. He is still on the S.C. ballot and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him garner more votes than the polls indicate.

Hope he isn’t out of the national spotlight too long. He is the true conservative and the one who truly walks the walk with values.

Newt should just adopt the liberal’s approach,

“How does going after my marriages help to feed a hungry child?”

She has no evidence that Newt asked for an Open Marriage.

This is nothing but bunk fabricated by ABC news to destroy a good man, husband, father and top presidential contender.

es, and newt was living with his bimbo and wife two was living in GA. Newt was doing this when he was talking about Clinton and Lewinsky. Wait in the new GOP that is no longer wrong. No problem move along guess

Right, move along because the only other alternative is Mitt Romney, who has openly pandered to homosexual activists, signed gay marriage into the law, included $50 abortions in his healthcare plan and who was attending Planned Parenthood fundraisers.

It's all about who can win and be trusted more to defend conservative values and conservatism.

Before making Marianne Gingrich the innocent victim here's a link to an FBI report, from 1997, being misrepresented on many online articles today to smear Newt Gingrich through this ex-wife. It appears someone in the Clinton administration FBI (probably a Reno/Gorelick plant) started an investigation to smear Newt Gingrich, which was shut down when it only led to apparent Israeli groups and operatives in the US.

FBI Gingrich Investigative Report

ON THE MAIN SUBJECT OF THE INVESTIGATION: PAY-OFFS

This FBI report depends solely on conversations of an Iraqi SOURCE, convicted felon Sarkis Soghanalian, with a Miami car salesman, Morty Bennett, concerning Bennett's claimed conversations with "Mirian" Gingrich. The FBI has no recordings for most of the claimed conversations between the SOURCE and Bennett and none for the claimed conversations between Bennett and "Mirian."

This investigative report only concerned 3rd party claims against "Mirian" Gingrich. It does not claim Newt Gingrich was ever involved by words or actions at any point in the investigation.

Additionally, the report claims the pay-off would be made to the "Institute for Political Studies... which is run by {Mirian} Gingrich, along with Robert Lowenberg." In fact the organization founded and run by Robert Lowenberg is the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies(IASPS), an Israeli think tank, based in Jerusalem, with an office in Washington. Neither Newt nor Marianne Gingrich worked for, let alone 'ran', the IASPS. Marianne Gingrich worked for the Israel Export Development Corporation (IEDC), with the Howard Ash mentioned in the report - who was also both a fund raiser for IASP and a Miami friend of Morty Bennett.

At this point the investigation ends.

SOMETHING ELSE RELEVENT TODAY IN THIS REPORT

Even so the below excerpts from the FBI report seem very relevant today, on the eve of MSM's "expose" portraying Miriam as the wronged ex- wife:

"(Bennett and his partner, Howard Ash) have a business deal that they were working with Marianne Gingrich"

"{Marianne} Gingrich replied... that her relationship with her husband was purely a relationship of convenience. She told the source that she needed her husband for economical reasons, and that he needed to keep her close because she knew all his "skeletons.""

What does this say about the credibility of this blackmailing &itch and the motivation ($$$) of her current "interviews?"

What does this say about the media portraying her as a loving wife whose husband betrayed that love?

Of course we will automatically believe everything she says, just like we believed everything Cain’s accusers said. That’s the script: so stick to it will ya?

I think that is what they said about kicking newt out of congress it was about not telling the truth. Anyway that has nothing to do with my telling the jokes about bill and Lewinsky, we were ok with his thing with her after all. Just as you said, but why in the hell were we asking the question???

Now I am not from America...just like an Obot or a rapid Ron Paul supporter who you have to start with the crap.

Newt Gingrich’s actions speaks volumes...if you choose to focus on the actions he has done that you think you agree with then you are no different than the leftist who support Obama.

You are being played and our country will pay deeply because you fail to actually invest the time to understand who these candidates are.

We either decide to support true conservatives or we don’t. This is the last chance.

Neither Romney nor Gingrich are the answer. Unfortunately we aren’t left with very many choices but Santorum is probably the closest we have to a real conservative running and it is way too early to be compromising on a candidate.

All you Newt loving people are hypocrites....you blast liberals for calling Jennifer Flowers and Paula Jones names

Jones was sexually harassed. There is no credible evidence Gingrich has sexually harassed anyone.

he WILL NEVER WIN A NATIONAL ELECTION INDEPENDENTS

He certainly will if he smokes Obama in a debate like he smoked Romney earlier this week.

I just heard on the news that Obama said being Presiden takes away time from being a dad.

What he really means is that being President takes away time from the golf course.

I don't know about that.

I'm not sure what it takes for a brokered convention, but nominating someone that less than thirty percent of the GOP supports, i.e. Mitt Romney, is a recipe for disaster, IMO.

I remember when FR started and everyone was talking about character when it came to Bill Clinton, etc... all of that is forgotten now...bizarre and majorly hypocritical - JUST LIKE NEWT.”

Only bizarre if you're clueless enough not to realize this a two man race and that Gingrich is the only one that can stop someone that would utter disaster for the conservative movement -- Mitt Romney.

If Romney wins SC, it's over. This is the last chance to stop him and Gingrich is the last man left standing to do it.

Slack-jawed evangelicals may say this six-year affair with a member of his Congressional staff doesn’t matter. However, it will not play well with the heathens in the purple states.
