Deb,

A lot of married couples have threesomes. Him, her, and the remote control for the tv.

I want to know what the candidates will do to bring capitalism back to the United States, and to shrink government and the debt. What are their policies on oil drilling? Who will they appoint to the courts?

Agreed! I was not shocked when I heard that Gingrich had cheated on his wife #2 years ago and I did not even care since he cheated on wife #1 with HER. I don’t like relationship poachers and I enjoy when they lose ’em how they got ’em.

I have never liked Newt. I don’t like his personality and the ONLY thing I like about him is how he debates and in retrospect, his policies and ideas (since when I first hated him (following the leader-style) I was Liberal) that are rock-ribbed Conservative. I’ve already judged him on his lack of character. Plus, I do not think Miss Calista has it easy with her husband. She got what she wanted. I’d have NEVER wanted it.

I love when DS takes it to Sanford, and quite rightly. he makes my skin crawl. I noticed he hasn’t married the Argentinian lass yet. He’s a boring piece of crap.

It is amazing that the media kicks up such a fuss over this when they essentially gave Bill Clinton a pass in the 90’s over his serial infidelity and abusive conduct towards women. If Bill Clinton’s conduct was a yawn worthy for our media back then, why is Newt Gingrich’s marital infidelity of critical importance to them now? Bill Clinton innoculated most politicians, with the curious exception of Herman Cain, from the more mundane infidelity we have seen. Mark Sanford got nailed because his Latin American tryst actually did interfere since he skipped town without informing anyone of his actual whereabouts.

I agree w/ Worry01 – after the pass the media gave BJ Clinton, marital fidelity of any candidate should be the last thing on their coverage. Except in cases where the candidates in question are stupid enough to discuss family values a la Sarah Palin, in which case they get what they deserve.

Honestly, I want to know a candidates positions on the following topics, in decreasing order:

1. Combatting Islam – both home & abroad
2. Energy policy (I want Thorium based nuclear to be a central focus of new policies, backed up by solar and coal, as well as major research into petroleum alternatives that dry up the cash flow of Islamic Oil)
3. Taxes & the economy
4. Reduction of government intrusiveness & regulation

#2 is closely tied to both #1 & #3. Any candidate who is good on the first 3 automatically has my support, even if s/he happens to be in an open marriage and has harems in 22 cities around the world. (Only that s/he cannot be Muslim – that’s an instant disqualifier). Yeah, I’d prefer someone who’s true to his marriage, but if that someone is someone like Obama, give me the open spouse who’s good on the issues anyday.

Great idea–vetting the “journalists” & commentators by closely examining THEIR sexual morality, political connections, and economic activities.

Makes sense.

Are they objective enough or in a position to comment/examine/judge others? Turn the table on them.

Then maybe they’ll stick to the REAL issues affecting us all–the ones we really care about discussing. They’ll turn somersaults if it means keeping the spotlight off obama’s dismal record and what he’s doing to destroy our country.

We all know that the MSM is hypocritical and is biased. Why didn’t we hear Hillary Clinton asked the question, when was the first time you knew your husband cheated on you? I remember when she accused the “vast right-wing conspiracy” of causing the Monica Lewinsky imbroglio. Why wasn’t she asked, well why are you surprised about Ms. Lewinsky when you heard the Gennifer Flowers tape in 1992? I don’t like Gingrich and don’t trust him but I am glad that he gave it back to King in the recent debate.

I too enjoy Newt’s rhetorical skills but, his past character issues are blocking any credible positions he may profess to have. He’s also been Jekyll-Hyde on ‘progressive’ policies & that again goes to character. I like Santorum, Romney, much less so. Political pragmatism has tarnished most of these guys.

Including the long-shot, somewhat whacked Ron Paul, any would still be better than Obama.

I am incredibly disappointed in Newt Gingrich and here is why:

When I was young (I was just out of college) and still believed in the Republican Party, my Dad & I were very active in the local Republican Party. I happened to live in Newt’s district and worked very hard in 2 elections to get him elected. I have shaken the man’s hand, looked him in the eye, and had multiple conversations with him (this was 20+ years ago). One of the Pros for Newt is that the man is brilliant–that is totally evident. The second thing is that he totally got “it” and knew why the American people were upset and discussed (with historical parallels) what would happen if things didn’t change (this was early 90s when we spoke).

He then came out with the “Contract for America” and I truly believe that if they could have delivered on that, this country would be a much better place today.

BUT…….Newt failed us and himself. He could have gone down as one of the greatest leaders ever (and he idolizes Churchill) and eventually gotten to be President, but Washington changed and ruined him. He went from being a brilliant college professor who got “it” to a Washington insider who loved the power, intrigue, money, and yes women that just LOVE powerful men.

My mother taught me long ago that the only good thing about dating a married man is that you know from the start that he is a liar and a cheat and you won’t be surprised when you find out later how much he lied to and cheated on you. Of course, I believe that if a man cannot be honest and true in what should be his most intimate relationship with one person, what could POSSIBLY make you think he would be honest and true in a relationship with the entire country? I guess we can make the argument that Newt (and Clinton and Ted Kennedy, et al) is a politician, which makes him suspect from the start and likely a PROFESSIONAL liar, but then I look at a guy like Paul Ryan, who seems to be honest, reasonable, smart and a happily married man and am sad that he is the exception to the politician rule. Oh how I wish he was running for President! I am very sad that another election cycle will come and go with me having to hold my nose to vote for the Republican just so we can evict another horrible Democrat.

Yes, I would love to vote for someone who has it all – morals, integrity, honesty, a great intellect, a great marriage, etc. But, the world is not perfect. Does not mean we should all stop trying. But, for now, please, let’s get the republican elected. (Remember, BO is married, but only G-d knows what really goes on there.)
