Yes, people, let’s get a little perspective here. It was 30 years ago.
Gingrich married Marianne Ginther in 1981. Obama says that he did cocaine (and other things) in high school, which would put his drug habit the years of 1976 through 1979. So approximately 30 years ago, who exactly had the bad moral character?
And let me tell you a thing or two about ex-wives since my husband has two of them just like Callista’s husband does. You know what? They lie. They want to always appear to be the victim, the better spouse. They are always bitter, never take responsibility for their own actions and they can’t move on with their lives. I’m sure there are some ex-wives out there who don’t fit that stereotype but I haven’t run across too many of them. And if a man cleans themselves up – whether it’s through God or sobriety or a new wife, well that’s really bad for the ex-wife because he’s changed and moved on. He’s fixed his character defects. He’s in a better place and they are left behind, a pathetic shell of a person with old scores to settle and no respect for themselves. They’re jealous.
Marianne is to be pitied. Maybe she suffered through a bad married. Maybe Newt did too. But it’s a sad, pathetic woman who is drawn into the media’s house of ill-repute to be their prostitute.
And once again, did I mention that Obama was doing Cocaine?? When Newt is asked about his ex-wife in the debate tonight, his answer should be, “That’s a personal matter. And while we’re on the topic of the late 70′s/early ’80′s, do you know what Obama was doing during that time? Cocaine.”

But your argument works more for Romney than anything, so why one flawed candidate personally
center77 (Diary) Thursday, January 19th at 5:17PM EST (link)It’s the personal baggage that is going to sink the party if Newt becomes the nominee, and if we are going to run against Obama, then why not point that we have a guy who did not cheat on two wives.
Newt is not a champion of social conservatives, and if we do have to have a candidate that is flawed, lets not have a personal baggaged filled candidate.

paladin1 (Diary) Friday, January 20th at 9:55AM EST (link)Since we have lost Gov. Perry in this election, who will you choose to support? I have noted this answer, which seems to be pro-Romney but another regarding the 10th Amendment which seems pro-Gingrich. Since the debate last night is over and I saw that you were on the live blog, have you made a firm decision. I know you have argued for Romney some and voiced disappointment with Gov. Perry for endorsing Gingrich, but I hoped that was not fixed and you might reconsider.
I understand your distaste of Gingrich’s personal conduct but note that it is not a factor in his stances on issues. Gingrich has been more conservative more often than Romney, who seems to have only had his conservative conversion after being pummeled in 2008. He has consistently held the opposite opinions on almost every issue dear to conservatives in his active office-holding political career. The change in Romney seems “fortuitous” to say the least. I also noted you had mentioned appointment of judgeships in a previous post. Romney’s history of judge appointments has been posted here before and is abysmal to the conservative cause.
Gingrich is not perfect; he is not Governor Perry; he is however, whom I believe to be the only viable conservative who can win not only the nomination but also the general. Romney’s obvious timidity in the debate last night has shown that he is dangerously and fatally susceptible to the anti-business and elite rich-boy attacks that the Dems will surely launch. I do not think he can win the general after Obama’s billion works over that aspect to a population that has been methodically turned away from free enterprise and personal success. In an election where “it’s the economy, stupid!”, Gingrich’s personal failures will be overlooked by those whose social values have been subsumed by the need for a job.
Just my thoughts to you; good luck on making your decision. He’s no Perry but I have taken the Governor’s advice and will support Gingrich.

Newt cheated on wife #2

traversecityconservative (Diary) Thursday, January 19th at 10:31PM EST (link)I gave the date of when they married which was 1981. And as for personal baggage, I could really care less. None of the candidate’s personal lives mean anything to me. I care about illegal immigration, energy production, the national debt, stopping massive government regulation and a lot more important things than who’s married, who’s cheating, who’s hiding money in the Caymans, who’s sexually harassing women or not, who has a rock with a name that sounds racist or any of the other stupid stuff that’s brought up and has nothing to do with saving the country.
Obama may have had a sex affair with Vera Baker
Juggernaut (Diary) Friday, January 20th at 10:37AM EST (link)so will John King and the other media companies ask Obama about Vera Baker. A tabloid nailed John Edwards and somehow the story never caught traction, perhaps its time to recirculate the story?

RomneyCare is Right Wing Socialism – please feel free to use is as often as possible…….it will kill his campaign.
Romney “severely conservative”? That’s the opposite of a “compassionate conservative” like George W. Bush? Actually, we know what a severely conservative is. It’s Dick Cheney and Mitt Romney is no Dick Cheney.
