Exclusive: Gingrich Lacks Moral Character to Be President, Ex-Wife Says

Or might make people yearn for another Clinton presidency. Libs should LOVE the guy...

Not saying that I wouldn't vote for him due to his past affairs , but it's hard to appreciate a candidate who comes across as a hypocrite. Well that, and I of course am "slightly liberal".
 
You know what? I could care less about the moral thing in reguards to personal stuff. Can the person save this country and get us out of the mess we are in? That is all that matters. If you wanna swing or have an open marriage or no marriage at all? I Don't Care! Morals are subjective and we need to stop hoping for some damn pure ass who has never did any wrong in their personal life. If you want pure? Maybe we should start begging Nuns to run. I mean come on folks.

I would love to see where Gingrich has denied his affairs. Look...I have plenty of reasons to not vote for him and wouldnt fault anyone that didnt like him as a candidate. But when LIBERALS make a deal out of CHARACTER in a president? Thats ****ing COMICAL.

Ahh, I should have made my statement more clear, I find it hard to respect a man who uses the "preserving the sanctity of marriage line" in respects to gay marriage, when he has an affair every 2 out of 3 (Plausibly 3 out of 3, we cannot be sure now can we?) marriages.

If he didn't use the sanctity of marriage line to defend his position on gay marriage then I wouldn't believe him to be a sanctimonious hypocrite.

And again...I have a hard time taking a liberal seriously when they say what you just said in light of the fact the immoral lying cheating adulterous CiC that Liberals elected...twice...SIGNED DADT AND DOMA. Its ALWAYS the same bull****. Oh yes...we HATE that republicans oppose gay marriage. Havent said **** ALL about democrats...but we sure do hate REPUBLICANS when they say the same thing. :doh
 
Who, in their life have not ever been a "sanctimonious hypocrite", as you say? You?

Why do you assume all Liberals voted for Clinton? I certainly didn't. And I didn't bring up Democrats, because, as you can tell by the title of this thread, this topic relates to Gingrich, not the Obama/Clinton administration.

You know...the funny thing is...every time this comes up, apparently NOBODY voted for Clinton...just like no one bought all those damn Spice Girls CDs...

Clinto was a GOOD president. He had the moral character of a rodent but he was a GOOD president. Id take him back in a heartbeat. Why do we bring him up? Well...lets see...Liberals express upset over a republican that has affairs because his position on gay marriage (you brought it uo...not me). Every time a liberal brings up the issue they bring up republicans and IGNORE the democrats with the same positions. And someone mentioned hypocrites recently...

Do you really not understand the distinction? Clinton was a scumbag but he wasn't a hypocrite. Gingrich is a scumbag AND a hypocrite. And that makes all the difference.

Clinton was a scumbag, a liar, committed perjury, accused of sexual harassment, faced reports of sexual assault and even rape, and OHBYTHEWAY made more than a few speeches on the importance of the family. Oh yeah...and he signed those gay marriage thingies that the guy hates. Gringich had affairs and admitted to them. Your scumbag wins hands down in EVERY category...including the hypocrisy part.

I dont care if you dont like the guy. I wont be voting for the guy. Hyocrite? Avoid mirrors at all costs...

I don't care what he does personally either, as long as he's trustworthy and not a damned hypocrite who thinks hypocrisy is acceptable.

I'm not defending Clinton's character (though I discount unproven allegations). But you full of **** if you maintain that Clinton was a big "family values" guy. Everyone knows that that is a plank of the Republican platform and not a plank of the Democratic platform, and everyone knows that Gingrich has carried that water. Stop embarrassing yourself by denying the obvious.
 
Only of he commits perjury in front of a Grand Jury.

Well let's put Gingrich in front of Grand Jury like they did Clinton for his affair! And while we are at it let's put Bush in front of a Grand Jury for lying us into a war!

Its hard to believe that there are still people this misinformed, or uninformed.

Bill Clinton did not appear in front of a Grand Jury for having an affair and it's a reflection on the left today that there are still people who believe that.

There was no Grand Jury interest in Gennifer Flowers, nor the affairs of previous presidents.

It was all about sexual harassment in the workpace and that you don't know this is what makes you a leftist.

The History Place - Impeachment: Bill Clinton
 
Seriously? You guys are using ex-wives as character witnesses? Im gonna go out on a limb and say well over 50% of divorced men (and women!) would be disqualified if that were the criteria to determine fitness. Lame. Just lame.

He's a politician, the vast majority of them have no understanding of moral character.

So Democrats hold no interest in "Family values". It's good that the left is finally coming out in the open on this issue, although it has been evident since the 'Great Society' debacle.

Unlike big-government conservatives, the left does not believe that it is government's role to tell people what values they should hold.

That's an interesting claim and, of course, it's untrue. Not just a little bit untrue but completely and absolutely untrue. Or are you making the claim that Democrats aren't really that big on values, that it's all for show? That I can believe.

Here is a great informative piece:

*** Note: adult language ***

 
Obama is talking about tax policy. He's not preaching about moral values.

This is what you said:

Now you've changed it "moral" values.

It's clear why Leftists feel uncomfortable with the discussions of morals.

I thought it was pretty obvious that I was talking about moral values, but I made it explicit in case there were any dimwitted conservatives present.

No, in fact you made it clear when you said "Values". Not moral values. Are you now making the claim that Obama is talking tax values?

Please explain.
