Marianne Gingrich has said she could end her ex-husband's career with a single interv

Re: Marianne Gingrich has said she could end her ex-husband's career with a single in

To be honest, I don't give a rat's ass what she has to say about Newt. Is it really necessary for the American public to make a decision on whether to vote for the guy? To me, the answer is simple. All one has to do is look at his record. Ethics aside, even his own party ditched him. So why would anything be different now? He's scum and I don't need Marianne's story to make that determination.

Exactly, it's not like this is all new, juicy gossip. Maybe she'll release more detailed info, but the gist is the same.

I was actually surprised that he got as much traction as he did, given his denunciation from his own party. I guess desperate times call for desperate measures.
 
Re: Marianne Gingrich has said she could end her ex-husband's career with a single in

Newt was never going to be anyone's VP. He's in it only to pick who will be his VP.
Did he say that or are you just assuming that?
 
Re: Marianne Gingrich has said she could end her ex-husband's career with a single in

Newt was never going to be anyone's VP. He's in it only to pick who will be his VP.

One thing I have learned is to never assume what a poltician will accept and what they won't. I wouldn't rule out Newt accepting a VP slot if he loses the primary.
 
Re: Marianne Gingrich has said she could end her ex-husband's career with a single in

Which is a fair analysis for anyone to make, although it certainly invokes "let he who is without fault cast the first stone ..."

Gingrich has gotten the support of Palin. And I am quite certain many other Conservatives. Its the liberals here and everywhere raising the big stink, flailing their arms, and in a general panic over this. Which gets us perfectly back the the "hypocrisy" ;)

Since I've been married for 37 years to the same woman and never once committed adultery, I'm now picking up rocks of various shapes and sizes to hurl at the serial adulterer.

I do have a solution for Newtie, however. Just run for President of France. They have no problem with guys who have mistresses and wives.

Would you vote for a man with a small penis? :lol:
 
Re: Marianne Gingrich has said she could end her ex-husband's career with a single in

See how that works ;)
Yep. You quoted what I said which had nothing to do with the question I asked... Not sure where you're going with this...
 
Re: Marianne Gingrich has said she could end her ex-husband's career with a single in

Perhaps I should have explained it better, for our Canadian friends.

No need to be condescending.

Palin is a mainstream darling of the hard right here. For that matter, Gov Perry is as well, and he is about to endorse Gingrich.

The hard right is *NOT* mainstream.

The point is that it is the Left all in a wad over Gingrich and the wanderings of his little head in decades past. It is the Left that are the hypocrites here.

If anyone is a hypocrite, would you not agree it's Newt who called out Clinton all the while he had a mistress? But I digress. You say that like the Libs don't give a crap about his breach of ethics and the constant diarrhea spewing from his mouth.


No need to apologize. Shesh, you think you're Canadian, eh?

As long as he compensated with a fast car or big gun.

So, are you ready to also stone Clinton ? Al Gore ? John Edwards ?

Or if we go back a little, LBJ, JFK, and even FDR ? To my knowledge, only Carter and Truman get a pass on the Dem side.

I applaud you for being in a good marriage. Unfortunately, half of all do not work out, and a large portion of those had adultery, as do many that do not dissolve. If adultery is the disqualifier, we are more "screwed" than we already think we are ;)

I did not care to waste much time on it, but there just isn't much talk of Newt being the underling on a ticket. I see it as a bad fit for him. However, more relative are the many discussions about such as a Rubio or Ryan, or some Governor, getting the slot. If Newt does not get the nomination, it is because of his baggage. Hard to envision a nominee then hauling all the baggage back on the train.

You could say it's hard to imagine but Newt recently got alot of tea party leader support ( Report: 100 Tea Party Members to Back Newt - West Ashley, SC Patch ) which is definitely something a Romney Presidential run would need, along with the fact that he would do well against Biden in VP debates. If Romney were to pick a Sarah Palin or a governor with little to no foreign policy experience it would show during the debate. In general I think it's a bad idea for a governor to pick a governor as a VP just because you don't get the variety. You get more foreign policy and you have to deal with grand scheme domestic policy issues more in the senate and garner executive experience as governor. It's one of the reasons I didn't like Biden as Obama's pick, though that wasn't as terrible of a decision since Obama needed someone with lots of experience and Biden provided him with that (though I wouldn't have picked him just on the basis of him being so gaffe prone in the first place.)

i really don't find that hard to believe, many of the tea partiers will vot abo. sounds like chris christie is applying for the vp slot.

Gingrich in debates is unbeatable. If he gets the GOP nod, it will be because of the debates. However, the #2 on the ticket doesn't get much to debate, and no one cares anyway. The current beliefs are that such as Rubio, also a Tea Party darling, gets the nod. Again, if Newt is the nominee, it means that at least a good portion of the GOP accepts his baggage. If he does not, then he is rejected because of baggage. Hard to see how such as Romney would want him after such a rejection.

You say that he is rejected because of his baggage as if it were fact. Perry, Santorum and Bachmann all had no such similar baggage that I am aware of and yet two of them have already gotten out of the race. It's possible that just more people want Romney to be the Republican pick.

Again, I'm not saying Gingrich will be the pick, especially after this interview I find it nearly impossible for him to get the VP slot, but beforehand I could definitely see it happen.

Edit: Gingrich is good in debates, but hardly unbeatable. He can throw out that red meat to his base but some of the time he comes accross as nothing more than an arrogant asshole. At least though, he has enough knowledge of the world to not look completely silly such as a Palin or a Herman Cain etc. and can make some strong arguments when he's not interested in just slapping his chest.

Back to the primary thread topic. ABC is hyping this for all its worth. You can see online clips now, to include a very bitter ex-wife trying with all her might to bash Newt. Wonder how much she was paid. Or tried to extort in lieu of doing this.

And if Newt is as good as some of us think he is, he can hit a grand slam with this as well.

While he needs to once again affirm his foibles, and his redemption, he can then capitalize on the uber-hypocritical liberal MSM. This is all old news, being reborn by ABC solely to trash Newt. But where was the MSM on Edwards ? Heck, teh National Enquirer only got the scoop as the MSM would not go there against a liberal. Or Jennifer Flowers during the Clinton campagn ? Again, it was the Enquirer because the MSM would not touch it.

Lesser orators might be in deep doodoo on this. Americans are growing sick of the liberal double standard with the press. And Newt is the guy to drive a Mack Truck through that mess. But Gingrich can turn it into another standing O if he is on key

He usually is.

What I have said is that if Newt does not win the nomination, it is precisely because of his baggage. He is otherwise the brightest, most experienced, and most qualified candidate, and it isn't close. Bachman, Perry, and the others are not in Newt's league when it comes to his ability to take take on anyone. Newt would crush any opponent in a one on one debate. He is feared by all when on stage.

I would agree that Gingrich does indeed have some impressive debate skills and probably leads the GOP field in that regard. However, I also believe Newt suffers from the belief that he must constantly show himself to be the smartest kid in class and that cuases him to have his ego and his intellect overload his better judgment.

He made a statement in one of these debates that he would challenge Obama to seven Lincoln-Douglas style debates, each three hours long and with no moderator. I do nto care who you are, that much time is a recipe for disaster as eventually you will say something stupid or harmful to your cause.

I hate when he gets all bitchy with the moderator and begins to lecture them. He goes too far with this and comes off as a real prick.

Except that Newt is in the running, after having been dismissed by all this past summer, precisely because of his debate skills. Apparently, what has sickened you about him is also what has gotten him into the position where he is the only real challenger to Romney, and to where such as the scum at ABC have to run hit-jobs on him.

It is in some interviews where he has put the foot of arrogance in his mouth. I personally could care less if he thinks poorly of the media, or other politicians. But the sound-bites play poorly, and he does need to reel such in. However, he has not made those mistakes in debates.

Without the debates so far, Newt is nowhere. He would crush Obama in open debate.

I can only image the part of the debate where Newt attempts to address his posture on Family Values.

Please nominate Newt. I for one, will enjoy watching this weasel go down in flames.

How about serial adultery? Should that be a disqualification - especially when coupled with hypocrisy of the worst sort?

Yes, I think a candidate's morals are a factor in whether or not he should be President of the United States. The greater the immorality, the greater the factor.

I thought it was his ex-wife that was doing the hit job on him. Or did you blame the media for doing the hit job on Clinton?

Face it - Gingrich is a seriously flawed human being. Hell, his own party got rid of him in the 90's because he was politically unethical. It should hardly surprise anybody that he's morally unethical as well.
