Devoiced his dying wife with Cancer I don't see how he shakes that.

Yeah, you'd need a considerable ego to even bother trying to run for president after pulling a stunt like that.

True.

Newt is soft on crime too! Woo hoo....he must have mis-read the handbook.

Maybe he could bend Harpers ear and let him know...."your crime bill Stev? Not a good idea, we are doing the opposite down my way"

But I doubt it.

If the divorces and affairs didn't kill Newt's credentials as a "family values" candidate, this week's open marriage bombshell ought to do the trick.

He's had more wives than both Mormon candidates combined... now we get word that he wanted to have two at once. Next time Newt tells people that he stands for the sanctity of marriage, people will have to keep in mind that it's coming from a guy who defines marriage as "a husband, a wife, and a mistress."

What a sack of garbage.

Who's the other Mormon candidate?

And yet the crowd, made up of good Christian Republicans, applauded wildly when he expressed his outrage and indignation that anyone would bring family values into the debate.

I mean, it's not like a candidate's personal moral standards have anything to do with people's decisions, right?

I wasn't aware that Newt Gingrich was the "family values candidate" in the race. I'm pretty sure that's Santorum if anyone. But it seems people are looking for solutions to economic problems. Social issues take a back seat. Shouldn't some of you be applauding that?

Just returning the favor for all the times you've done the same thing in threads I found interesting. Not so great when you're at the other end of it, is it?


Yeah, how dare I act like you, eh? Only you should be allowed that privilege.

Wow. Do I sense... bitterness?

Newt comes across as a smart fellow and he certainly has a long history of accomplishemnts and experience in politics. That could become part of his problem though, he carries a significant amount of political 'baggage' with him. I don't know if he has the charisma to win the white house though. Obama is all about charisma, not so much about substance. Newt Gingrich is more like the opposite. But he also has enemies who will attack him where it hurts on a personal level, and although I don't necessarily agree with that, it could become his undoing.

Meanwhile Ron Paul countered with "I am please to have in attendence my wife of 53 years..."
I think Paul is the cleanest of the lot in terms of least corrupted, most sincere in what he says. If the American people want real change, Paul is it. But in a radical way!

Completely agree. He may not be the best candidate, but the man deserves a medal for the way he has handled himself as a politician. I wish all politicians were as honest/sincere and conducted themselves as he does...minus a few of his attacks ads etc. No candidate is perfect in conduct, but I can think of few better.

People can disagree with his prior actions and the sincerity of his answer...but that debate answer vs John King was the greatest debate answer I've seen in my life by any politician...ever. I've never seen anyone dig themselves out of a hole like that!

I agree. If I was one of the other candidates, I'd be pretty pissed off at John King for serving up that hanging curveball at the very beginning of the debate.

I disagree that it was a hanging curve, that's what makes the answer so great. When I first heard the question i was like "oh crap, how you gonna get out of this one Newt!" then BAM! More like a 98mph fastball he knocked 550ft into the parking lot.
