Hows that for Christian Values? Newt Gingrich wanted an OPEN-MARRIAGE

WOW!

How anyone who finds GOOD MORALS and important quality in a leader and still support Newt Gingrich is beyond belief.

Not only all his political baggage (Read 75 posts, "Newt Gingrich Chronicles"). but his lack of morals in family values as well.

Now I'm not just talking about the facts that he's cheated on 2 of his 3 wives (that we know of) and married 2 of his mistresses. No, the following video hits deep at the core of what makes marriage a strong commitment to a spouse.

If Newt holds COMMITMENTS LIGHTLY, What about meeting the commitments to the American people as it's President?

Here is part of an interview Marianne Gingrich did with ABC. The full interview will air tonight on ABC's 'Nightline'

I know...He'll tell you he's sorry....SAME OLD LINE. How about supporting someone who doesn't have to apologize and HONORS THEIR COMMITMENTS?

Highlights from the Washington Post story on the same subject: http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/marianne-gingrich-newts-ex-wife-says-he-wanted-open-marriage/2012/01/19/gIQAJzgwAQ_print.html


Marianne Gingrich said she first heard from the former speaker about the divorce request as she was waiting in the home of her mother on May 11, 1999, her mother’s 84th birthday. Over the phone, as she was having dinner with her mother, Newt Gingrich said, “I want a divorce.”

Shocked, Marianne Gingrich replied: “Is there anybody else?” she recalled. “He was quiet. Within two seconds, when he didn’t immediately answer, I knew.”

The next day, Newt Gingrich gave a speech titled “The Demise of American Culture” to the Republican Women Leaders Forum in Erie, Pa., extolling the virtues of the founding fathers and criticizing liberal politicians for supporting tax increases, saying they hurt families and children.

“How could he ask me for a divorce on Monday and within 48 hours give a speech on family values and talk about how people treat people?” she said.

Newty has wanted to be president for a long time, no surprise there. The fact that he leaves his wives in search of someone who would be pretty enough for first lady is reason enough to not vote for him.

Newt holds commitments lightly:

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203735304577167041714568630.html

This is actually a nice article about Gingrich's college record. But read between the lines... you will see that he was always going somewhere "bigger". He didn't hold to his commitments.

He became a professor and immediately tried to become President of the college. When that failed, he tried to become chairperson of the History department, twice. When that failed, he then put all his time and energy into not teaching history but by working on the environmental-studies department. Which earned him his first removal from a position, because he "is clearly more appropriate to the orientation of our Department of Geography."

But did he then put all his efforts into his new position? Nope, he promptly took three leaves of unpaid absence to run for political office.

During that time, he was asked to draw up ideas for modernizing the institution. Newt's positive is that he is a forward thinker. He has a lot of ideas, just ask him. But I don't think a resource extraction colony on the moon is going to get us out of our current financial mess (besides the idea being fairly impractical for the next 30 years). I don't think putting teens to work as janitors is the smartest thing to do fiscally or socially at the federal level. (Sure, some schools can try that program, it just might work.)

Sorry, Bosman, I'd put both of these into their own post, but my brain isn't concentrating enough to put together a coherent front-page worthy post.

Good post from MWS on the other site:

Clearly, there are many Christians who don’t understand the meaning and nature of forgiveness and judgement.

Forgiving a pedophile does not mean you let him babysit your kids.

Forgiving an arsonist does not mean you make him fire chief.

Forgiving a rapist does not mean you put him in charge of a halfway house for women.

Forgiving a tax cheat does not mean you make him Secretary of the Treasury.

Forgiving a moral reprobate does not mean we make him President.

Bosman, leave Newt alone. He's been forgiven by the religious right now, nothing in his past matters!

Besides, everyone keeps telling us that his personal life doesn't matter, it's his GREAT IDEAS that we need.

Serial Hypocrite

Terrye said...

The man is a socio path. He has no sense of right and wrong..and if the religious right goes with him over Romney...then they are hypocrites..he also supported tax money for abortions in the 90s..you know that if that was Romney we would be hearing about it every day.

I recall a popular columnist telling a couple relating their no questions asked 'open' marriage that she once knew a couple like that. They were cocker spaniels; what is your excuse?

I remember something about Marianne suing Callista for a large sum of money--it was in an Atlanta newspaper?? alienation of affection??

Terrye: Romney didn't put abortion funding in MassCare, and we're still hearing about it how he did.
