So how does Gingrich's character/morals/ethics square with dumping his first wife when she had cancer and his second when she was diagnosed with MS, plus asking her to give him the ok to continue his affair of 6 years with the now Mrs. Newt G, and consent to an open marriage? I don't care how you slice Gingrich's former wife's motives -- bitterness, etc. -- the facts speak for themselves for those who can look beneath Newt's indignant posturing. He's a preposterously presumptuous ass when it comes to women. How could he serve women well in office?
South Carolina women (or did they vote in numbers) seem to have spoken -- they don't care about Newt's affairs.
It isn't about the sex... It is about his word. He gave his word to his wife not to dip his wick into someone else's wax and he could not or would not live up to his own promise. I don't care if he divorced his wife first, it is only his words that count... just my opinion...
I think he will be with the super rich and let the peons and serfs go to---. No wonder that they want to rule over the little people like the workers that make up America 99% that pays there $ Why do you think they want a job that pays $100,000? So they can steal the big bucks from the trough.
I think Newt's philandering proves that he is, and has been, comfortable with telling lies. Why should I trust him as President then? He'll have a zillion reasons to be a lying weasel then!?
How can anyone who has proven themselves to be untrustworthy be considered a good candidate for leadership? Then again, I really can't think of many politicians I do consider trustworthy (I can think of a few I would trust, but not many). I was really hoping that Jon Huntsmann would have gone the distance; of all the people vying for President I considered him to have the most experience, character and leadership which we need right now.
What bothers me is not the sexual infidelity (as long as its someone else's husband), it's the fact he left two wives when they were in the middle of awful health crises. That is just excessively low. He doesn't seem to have much of a conscience.
It is about trust and integrity. Not opportunism. I do not think for a moment he is worthy of being President. He lies and is a narcissist, who only cares about himself, no matter what spews out of his mouth.
Truth and Integrity - he just doesn't follow the principles. Probably an ideal candidate, like all polititians. Looking at his predecessors he's par for the course and in fact, matches the requirements for a polititian the world over.
