He is one of the decoys the GOP throw out every time to manipulate the primaries. He is a pawn and he knows it.

Can you prove that statement? How do you know he was 'cheating', and what are you calling cheating?

I lived through all of this and have been involved in politics...well, almost my whole life I guess. I remember all of this quite clearly and there is public record of it. Gingrich admitted most of it because it was going to all come out at the time. It was really ugly for both parties back then.

Okay, you have proved your point. I accept that mea culpa and I forgive him his trespasses. I hope he goes on to make millions for speeches, just like Clinton the rapist exhibitionist.
I hope you hold the women just as guilty as Newt. Afterall, they had an affair with a married man. Water under the bridge.

You are exactly right about 'the women'...but none of them are running for the highest office in our land, as far as I know!

Your flippant attitude ''of Water under the bridge'' is disgusting!

Clinton is a horrible former POTUSA!

I respect Newt's political sense...most of the time...but he's not 'fit' for office...and most realize that fact!

I dont believe Newt has ran for elected office since leaving the House.

I didn't say he had. You misunderstood what I said. Decoys they throw out such as Guilianni, Thompson...they used Huckabee in the end last time to manipulate things. They always do that.
