Gambler vs Slippery Dick

Romney screwed up in debate tonight by trying to force fellow candidate for president into $10,000 gambling wager over one of the presented issues. I don't think many people feel comfortable with the image of a big-time gambling president in charge of our money in the White House. Americans are looking for monetary common sense, fiscal conservatism, frugality, cut the waste, cut the spending, treat my tax money like royalty.

Romney also addressed sobriety and stability in defining why he is the best candidate for the Republicans. This comment was obviously a focusing point on Newt Gingrich's sordid past. When asked to describe how his childhood had influenced Gingrich as an adult, the speaker skipped over the issue and just mentioned his father was in the military and he moved around. Then, Gingrich referred to some of his shelter corporations which produce movies, books, and other things, headed, in name, by his wife and daughter.

Bachmann kept struggling for attention.

No real winners tonight. I would give negative points to Romney for gambling. I would give Gingrich the "Slippery Dick" award for skirting more interesting issues.

Newt Gingrich: an ethical vacuum - Oliver Twist Returns

Newt Gingrich defends his child education plan for poor children. Newt Gingrich stated he felt poor children grew up to be unemployed because they had no role models. Newt said the kids grew up in poverty because their parents had no jobs and the kids never learned what it was to go to work everyday. Newt said the poor kids needed to learn a work ethic and what it meant to go to work everyday. With this goal in mind, Newt Gingrich proposed that poor kids be put to work cleaning the floors and cleaning the bathrooms at schools...oh yeah, and painting the building.. HUH!!!!!
When the news media asked Newt if he was serious, Newt said he was. He said people are poor because they don't work, so the kids never see people going to work everyday and, hence, do not have a work ethic.
Newt is far out f touch with poor America? Poor is defined as people whose incomes fall below the US poverty level. There are many people who are employed, yet are poor. These are the working poor. They are only able to get hired to lower paying jobs. So, they go to work regularly, but barely make enough to pay their bills. For various reasons, they are stuck in poor neighborhoods. Often these people are younger adults, especially those with kids, and older adults who are disabled, ill or aged out of the job marketplace.
Children in the US are protected from hazardous material exposure which includes feces, and chemicals. Kids are also allotted shortened work days, so they can experience childhood. As an American citizen, I have some of my earned money taken every year by the government to get kids into schools daily and teach them about life and work. If the schools are not working, tear them down and send the kids elsewhere.
There are people who are poor financially, but are not poor in social conditions. So, many poor children grow up in great families and have the benefit of a healthy supportive environment. Newt did not grow up in poverty, but he was sodomized by a pedophile teacher as a youth, who he later married and with whom he fathered two children. Most would say Newt led a life of poverty in that he lived in a pedophile-based relationship for about 25 years and never learned regular American ethics, morals and mores.

Where is Sarah?

Real new winner for the Republicans may be Sarah Palen. Now, she is starting to look good and smart. And you thought she was out. I can see her negotiating in the Middle East now.

Can Newt Gingrich Defend Marriage?

Newt Gingrich and Donald Trump had a lot to talk about since each had been married three times. But only Newt Gingrich is running for president, so I will only talk about Newt. (Newt and Donald did decide Donald will hire 11 poor children to become "apprentii." Newt had previously said poor children should be janitors at their schools and mop floors and clean toilets.)

Newt Gingrich met his first wife, Jackie Battley, while he was still in high school. Battley was his geometry teacher, and seven years his senior. (According to Gingrich's second wife Marianne Ginther, the age difference was actually nine years--Gingrich was 16 when the student-teacher courtship began). Their secret relationship included nighttime dalliances in the back of a car. The pair married in 1962, and had two children before splitting in February 1980. (So, Battley would have been a pedophile.) According to Esquire, Gingrich served Battley with divorce papers while she was in the hospital recovering from uterine cancer.

Gingrich met Marianne Ginther, the 28-year-old daughter of an Ohio mayor, at a political fundraiser in 1980. They began a relationship while Gingrich was still married to his first wife; he told Ginther that they were in marital counseling and considering divorce. Ginther met Newt's family that summer, and they married in August 1981, six months after his divorce from Battley was finalized. "He asked me to marry him way too early," Ginther told Esquire. "And he wasn't divorced yet. I should have known there was a problem." Their marriage was over by 1999, after Ginther had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She was in Ohio visiting her mother for Mother's Day when Gingrich called, saying he needed to talk in person. She says she intuitively knew that he was having an affair (with his soon-to-be third wife, Callista Bisek).

Callista Bisek was working as a congressional aide when she met Gingrich. Gingrich and Callista married August 18, 2000. Callista was 34 and Gingrich was 57. Gingrich converted to Catholicism in March 2009 for his third wife. Along with his conversion, Newt formally requested that the Catholic Church nullify his marriage to Ginther.

Newt seems to burn out on his wives after 13 years and finds a new wife by 18 years into a marriage. With this pattern, Newt will be looking for a new wife by the time the 2012 elections roll around. I don't think this country can survive another Lewinsky situation dominating the news.

Can Newt really help with the Defense of Marriage platform issue? I don;t think so. With Newt, marriage is not a real serious thing.

Newt fraud - a criminal in the making?

Reporters reveal that Newt Gingrich shields his income by multiple corporations headed by his daughter and his wife. None of the income to these corporations are well-documented as to where the money is coming from, why it is being given, and how much is given. Newt Gingrich filed approximately $2.5 million of income, but did not include any of the $60,000 he claims he got per speech while influence-peddling his capital hill connections. The speech money went to one of his shielding corporations. Yet, Newt Gingrich states clearly in his speeches that he earned the speech money. Since Newt has a history of stealing public funds, including money meant for inner city minority kids and the congressional bank, Newt would be very dangerous with a lot of power and control in Washington, DC.
Who knows where Newt's daughter and his wife are sending these mysterious funds.
Newt wants to be president for Newt, not for middle-class or low-income Americans. Newt can't be trusted.

Newt Auditions For Donald Cronyism

Donald Trump will lead a panel for one of the Republican debates. It is like"The Apprentice." Who will Donald choose for the presidential job. And if Donald does not like any of the candidates and decides to become a third party candidate, does this mean the Republican candidates are "fired?"
If the Republican candidates are fired by Donald, can they come back and challenge the boss and king-pin decision-maker?
Others looking closely at Donald's hosting a debate are Rush Limbaugh, Karl Rove, Chris Matthews, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Sherri Shepard. Could talk show hosts become the new political heavyweight debate moderators?
Some say celebrity hosts can increase political viewership and TV ratings, as it did for Dancing With the Stars? What's next? It can go as far as your imagination.

Merry Christmas God

An unhappy Republican stated he was even unhappier because President Obama did not mention "God" in his speech. Well statesmen today, may not because they realize they are the leader of many different people with different names for "God." I know many who are often speaking of God, yet they are committing crimes or bigoted or controlled by money and hate. It is not the mentioning of God that is important, it is your everyday actions to your spouse, family, and community. If the words are not explicitly spelled out, look between the lines and look at the actions and life of the speaker. I can not think of a better family role model than the Obama family. Living in front of the world is difficult and living a daily godly life is even harder.
I remember when President Obama stated he was ending the war in Iraq. President Bush started the war looking for weapons after 9/11, and after no weapons were found, he continued the war for profit. Now, President Obama stated he was going to stop the killing on both sides. After he said those words, thousands of troops and military families yelled "Thank God!"
A child asked, is President Obama God? I said, no, but sometimes God works through President Obama. This Christmas most of our troops will be spending Christmas in the good 'ole USA. I hope everyone will hang "Welcome Home Troops, the war is over - Thank you for your service" ribbons and signs outside their homes. (Now here is a job for some needy artists - I haven't seen any for sale.)
If you are unhappy with President Obama and Michelle, wait until you hear about Newt Gingrich. Hold on to your hats and cover the kid's eyes and ears. I guess Newt thought it was godly to discuss divorce with his wife as she recovered from cancer surgery in the hospital.
Anyway - Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, Feliz Navidad - I can add more, but some people will never be happy. God Bless you, and Peace on Earth...and let it begin with me.

Newt Gingrich a scoundrel and rogue

Newt Gingrich says he was paid $60,000 per speech. Even though he had been speaker of the House during the Clinton / Lewinsky years, and gained a lot of publicity (Newt was also having lots of sex with various Washington groupies), Newt is not worth $60,000 per speech. Newt was influence-peddling and lobbying for private investors. He even accepted a $500,000 credit from Tiffanys to get Tiffanys business inside the DC beltway. He can not be trusted with our money. Newt Gingrich will sell-out in a minute if he can make a buck. Newt had been caught many times in the 1990's lying to cover up his greed and financial abuse of public funds. Newt was caught taking money intended for inner-city youth, and converting it for his private enrichment. Newt was caught writing over $100,000 in fake checks to the congressional bank. No, Newt Gingrich is an untrustworthy liar and, at this time in history, could bring America to its knees by funneling money abroad. Finally, for anyone who knows me, I am a defender of women. I can not forgive Newt for asking his wife for a divorce as she laid in a hospital dying of cancer, so her could marry his mistress. Newt is not loyal or a supporter - he thinks only of himself. For Newt, to hell with the wife, kids and vows ("in sickness and in health").

Newt Gingrich and Herbert Cain..VERY BAD HUSBANDS

I remember Newt Gingrich had problems similar or worse than candidate Herbert Cain with sex and adultery. I'm told Newt had four wives. So, I looked him up on the internet and I remember some of these stories. As we discuss the candidate Cain allegations, we need to discuss all of the adulterers. The allegations:

---

Quotes:

"We had oral sex. He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, 'I never slept with her.'" - Anne Manning (who was also married at the time.)
"We would have won in 1974 if we could have kept him out of the office, screwing her [a young volunteer] on the desk." - Dot Crews, his campaign scheduler at the time
[In the book] "Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them", [I] "found frightening pieces that related to my own life." - Newt.
"I think you can write a psychological profile of me that says I found a way to immerse my insecurities in a cause large enough to justify whatever I wanted it to" - Newt, speaking to Gail Sheehy.
"She isn't young enough or pretty enough to be the President's wife." - Newt, on his first wife.
"I don't want him to be president and I don't think he should be." - Newt's wife Marianne.
"If the country today were to move to the left, Newt would sense it before it started happening and lead the way." - Dot Crews, his campaign scheduler throughout the 1970s.

Adultery:

Sex on the Desk - Oral Sex is More Easily DeniedSeveral newspapers are now reporting that Newt Gingrich is dating and basically living with Callista Bisek, a "willowy blond Congressional aide 23 years his junior." Biske, 33, has been spending nights at Gingrich's apartment near the Capitol and has her own key. In an amazing act of hypocrisy, Gingrich was apparently dating Bisek all during Clinton-Lewinsky adultery scandal, even as he proclaimed family values and bitterly criticized the President for his adultery.
Reporters and other Washington insiders have known about this relationship since 1994, even before Gingrich became Speaker of the House, but did not have any solid proof to report. In 1995, Vanity Fair magazine described Bisek as Gingrich's "frequent breakfast companion." Gingrich was married to Marianne Gingrich during all of that time, and just filed for divorce in August 1999.
Newt is apparently trying to create a new hybrid form, Christian adultery. According to MSNBC, Bisek sings in the National Shrine Choir, and Newt would often wait for her at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, listening to her sing while he read the Bible.
This is hardly the first time Newt has cheated, either. "It was common knowledge that Newt was involved with other women during his [first] marriage to Jackie. Maybe not on the level of John Kennedy. But he had girlfriends -- some serious, some trivial." -- Dot Crews, his campaign scheduler throughout the 70s. One woman, Anne Manning, has come forward and confirmed a relationship with him during the 1976 campaign. "We had oral sex. He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, 'I never slept with her.'"
Kip Carter, his former campaign treasurer, was walking Newt's daughters back from a football game one day and cut across a driveway where he saw a car. "As I got to the car, I saw Newt in the passenger seat and one of the guys' wives with her head in his lap going up and down. Newt kind of turned and gave me this little-boy smile. Fortunately, Jackie Sue and Kathy were a lot younger and shorter then."

Family Values? Pressing Wife for Divorce in the Hospital:

"He walked out in the spring of 1980.... By September, I went into the hospital for my third surgery. The two girls came to see me, and said, "Daddy is downstairs. Could he come up?" When he got there, he wanted to discuss the terms of the divorce while I was recovering from my surgery." - Jackie, his first wife.

Dead-Beat Dad:

The hospital visit wasn't the end of it, either. Jackie had to take Newt to court to get him to contribute for bills, as utilities were about to be cut off.

Draft Dodger:

Though he relentlessly pushes military spending and talks like a bigtime hawk, Gingrich avoided the Vietnam War through a combination of student and family deferments. (He married one of his teachers at age 19).
==============================

Sounds like Newt Gingrich will have to be eliminated too. Adultery while your wife is dying from cancer reminds me of Senator John Edwards having a baby by his girlfriend while Elizabeth was dying. God Bless you Elizabeth.
