Newt Gingrich's two adult daughters said that charges by Gingrich's second wife in an interview with ABC News that the GOP presidential contender asked for an "open marriage" are categorically false.
Kathy Lubbers and Jackie Cushman, Gingrich's daughters by his first wife, told ABC News Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross they had spoken with their father about Marianne Gingrich's allegation and that he had assured them he never asked for an open marriage.
"We spoke with him about that, Brian, and he said it's simply not true," said Kathy Lubbers. "The truth is our father and Marianne had a difficult marriage. They had a difficult divorce. ... The American people have moved on. Our father has moved on."
"I think most divorces are very painful, they're never easy," said Jackie Cushman. "Dad tried very hard to make their marriage work, and unfortunately it didn't."

He got a deferment because he was married and had a child
************
And now he’s using the kids to fight a battle he needs to deal with himself.
Many American troops were married with children and didn’t get deferments.
Nice, why don't you find another website more to your liking if you think that way?
He is kicking ass and taking names.
Dig your handle.
I expect most of them to get over this temporary lapse of insanity soon... but for now as they attack the woman I will remain here and voice my occasional comments against the philanderer instead, thanks.

Don’t ban Siana or anything, please.
I need to show her most of the past presidents could not pass the modern Republican holy test.
Because I think most of the past President didn't act like Gingrich?
Jonty, you are a very weird one.
Usually when somebody notifies a moderator, they are looking for the moderator to smack down a person. Unfortunately, at times, the smackdowns hadn’t always been fair.
I just wanted to head off the possibility, especially since I’m holier than most of the past presidents. :)
Yes he did! Thank you...
Yeah...I got that you were fishing for a smackdown.
But on what basis would such a smackdown occur? Because I don't believe your trash talk about American Presidents?
Strangest reason I've heard yet on this forum.
I never said they were her daughters, just that it is doubtful they were present for the argument.
I thought Newt had an open marriages for several years, but did not bother to tell his wives. What is not open about a mistress?
It wasn’t me looking for a smackdown. I was rising to your defense, my dear.
If you look earlier in the thread, you’ll find Jean S had alerted a moderator for what you said, not me.
The MSM have discovered the “values voters” with this shameless bit of pandering. Screw the MSM!
He’s NOT a moderator. Jim IS the site owner. And Jean S quoted the problem.
Still not sure why you think a ban would be in the works.
Being site owner, gives him the power to moderate.
Moderators can usually handle differences of opinion and are not as touchy as you seem to be.
Have a nice evening.
