Are Newt’s Past Infidelities Really News? His Former Colleague Says Yes

As ABC News considers when it will air any or all of the interview from Newt Gingrich’s ex-wife Marianne, there are other folks stepping forward to talk about the alleged affairs of the former Speaker of the House. But is this news? One of his former colleagues thinks so.
Newt’s former colleague of 16 years, Bob Dornan claims that a female member of his staff was targeted by Gingrich and pursued with such vigor that she eventually quit working for him. In a recent interview with 1170 KFAQ’s Pat Campbell, the ex-Congressman also made some strong charges that paint Newt as a serial cheater and someone who was known for targeting the young and innocent women who were working on Capitol Hill.
Mr. Gingrich’s daughters, Kathy Lubbers and Jackie Kushman, have written an open letter to ABC News about their father:
“We will not say anything negative about our father’s ex-wife. He has said before, privately and publicly, that he regrets any pain he may have caused in the past to people he loves.”
While the Gingrich girls have not asked for the interview to be delayed or even scrubbed, they have made the following statement:
“ABC News or other campaigns may want to talk about the past, just days before an important primary election, but Newt is going to talk to the people of South Carolina about the future– about job creation, lower taxes, and about who can defeat Barack Obama by providing the sharpest contrast to his damaging, extreme liberalism. We are confident this is the conversation the people of South Carolina are interested in having.”
Curiously, a search for “Newt’s ex-wife” on the ABC News website yielded very little about the story that’s getting major air time on virtually every other news outlet:
However, when we searched the web, as ABCNews.com suggested, there were plenty of options.
Obviously, the candidate and his family are going to say that negative moments in their past should not be part of the campaign.
By the way, the Gingrich girls are also part of their father’s campaign. Jackie regularly appears on Fox News on behalf of her father. They also released this video just before the end of last year. (The clip includes a story of Newt heroically jumping into icy water to save the family dog… an odd contrast to the 20-year-old story circulating last week, the one about Mitt Romney putting his dog on the roof of his car.)
How do you feel about making a candidate’s personal history the center of attention in a campaign?

Posted on January 20, 2012 at 5:20amThe interview goes to his character. While speaker he came up with the “Contract with America” that,among other things, promoted the sanctity of marraige and the family. It encouraged monogamy and fidelity. While he was promoting that he was taking Calista back to his apartment for some serious cheating.
This brings into question his honesty and his character. We need a man who is honest with the American voter and has the moral character to practice what he preaches. I’m just not sure Newt is that man.
Right now the republican candidates need to quit beating up on each other and start beating up on Obumbler.

His past sins should not matter. If they matter to some then they need to get a brain. The Obama team will get ugly. The press pushes this on us even if we don’t want to hear about it. The press and Obama team has been wanting to run against Romney and started all the class warfare in anticipation of it. Now they have to change course and push dirt on Newt, just like they did with Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann and anyone else.

Romney and Bain bought business going out of business and a few didn’t work out – meaning Romney is evil…oh… I mean…I’m just asking a question?
Newt cheats repeatedly on wives and on mistresses, seeks out young and vulnerable women, and we can’t talk about it? Newt has ethics problems and is removed from the Speaker position and we can’t talk about it? Newt believes in man-made global warming, giant federal run education, giant pet projects, FDR is the greatest president of all time, and you think he’s a conservative?

The Newt supporters are trying to say that his multiple adulterous affairs do not matter… what!? Is fidelity to one’s spouse not a MAJOR conservative value???

If he took a vow, “’Till death do us part” and then cheated, not once but twice, how are we to be sure that this man will do what he says he will? Marriage is a sacred obligation in the eyes of our Lord and Newt has shown in the past that they were just words to him! One of his former colleagues says that he thinks Newt is a ‘serial’ cheater.
It has been said before, if you lie to me now, what prevents you from lying later. Once a liar, always a liar. Character matters in a president and I think he fails on this matter.

Posted on January 19, 2012 at 10:08amDon’t you think that Conservatives should be focusing on the Clunker in the White House. He certainly has enough scandals to report on. Back in 2007 Larry Sinclair held a press conference with his attorney present reporting that he gave Hommie in Chief a hummer while Homie smoked crack cocaine in the back seat of a limo. Larry was arrested by Joe Biden’s boys and later released. Larry then proceeded to the Chicago Police with his lawyer and filed an affidavit stating all to be true. He later took a lie detector test and passed with flying colors the part of the testimony about the crack cocaine.
You can make up your own mind about the hummer based upon the following. A man named Donald Young, a good friend of Barack according to Donald’s mom, a black homosexual and choir director at Barack’s church joined the Obama campaign and was put in charge of investigating the Sinclair allegations. Before he finished that investigation he was found murdered Chicago style. Have you seen ABC, NBC and CBS following up on these allegations? Why not, after all, this is the Commander in Chief who has been compromised?? Lets leave Newt alone until these allegations are thoroughly investigated and reported on. This should be Newt’s and the other candidates defense.

It is a fact that Newt left his first wife and 2 daughters high and dry. Several people had to help his first wife with financial support for her and his two daughters while Gingrich moved on with wife number 2 and lived the high life in Washington D.C.. Open up the court records.
His daughter’s now have a vested interest in the Gingrich brand because they work for his $million think tanks and foundations. It is great that they mended fences but this man has no business leading this country.
Murdoch is probably going to go all out pushing this former Fox News associate for president, to get him to pass SOPA and PIPA. That is the other high negative about Gingrich…his positions can be bought. As Santorum has said Gingrich is no conservative, there are scores of congressman that worked with him that will attest to that fact. Gingrich was pushed out by the House GOP because of his ethics violations but also because he was fighting them on leading conservative issues of the day.

Unaware that Soghanalian was an FBI informant, it is alleged that Marianne Gingrich whilst working for the Israel Export Development Corporation (IEDC) tried to facilitate a bribe to the tune of $10 million so that her husband could use his influence to lift the arms embargo against Iraq in order for Soghanalian to collect an outstanding payment of $54 million from Saddam Hussein. “”””"

Larry gave a press conference with his lawyer present and claimed that Homie gave him a hummer and smoked crack cocaine in the back of a limo. Larry, with his lawyer in tow filed an affidavit stating it all to be true. Larry was also arrested after that conference by Joe Biden’s friends and shortly released. Larry also took a lie detector test and passed the part about the crack cocaine use with FLYING COLORS. Did you hear ABC, CBS and NBC reporting on that one? You can make your own mind up about the “hummer” but I will tell you that Donald Young, a very good friend of Barack according to Donald’s mother, a black homosexual and long time choir director at Obama’s church, as an Obama campaign worker was in charge of investigating the Sinclair allegations. Before that investagation was complete Donald Young was murdered Chicago style. His mother suspected foul play. The case is still UNSOLVED! Maybe we should be focused on these allegations, after all, Barry is our President and soon to be a candidate again.
