    newt won SC back in 2008 with one answer in the debate. Wonder if anyone is positioned to do the same tonight

    oh and here is the question and his answer


    http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/19/politics/gop-debate/


    John King opened the debate with a question about open marriage, following an interview by Gingrich's ex-wife saying that he had sought one, the Republican chastised him.

    "To take an ex-wife and make it two days before the primary a significant question in a presidential campaign is as close to despicable as anything I can imagine," Gingrich told King, the moderator of the debate.

    Gingrich's response elicited loud applause from the audience.

    Oh, I thought 'pulling a gingrich' was getting married 3 times and then going on to speak about family values. I'm sure there will be a large batch of hypocrisy at the debate, so I'm sure you won't be too disappointed.

    more hypocrisy than an old white woman from Arkansas and a geriatric Jew arguing about who is the blackest. Now if so that will be high comedy indeed

    Several of them, Trump chief among them, already have.

    you know if I was to tell a dem that a republican was running on protecting social security, said the iraq war was dumb, and critisized the bushes, said the government should not make anything out of student loans, and was very resitant to sending troops abroad they would be wild. Until you mention its trump :p

    So Gingrich deflected and this was commendable? He was a chicken-(*)(*)(*)(*) and ran from the question, but the more telling point was that the dumbass right wing supporters actually thought this was worthy of applause. BTW...Gingrich never ran for the presidency for any other reason than to sell books anyway.

    They are too intellectually challenged to understand what flaming hypocrites they actually are.

    Gingrich is representative of what a low bar the right wing sets for the guys they support...

    The truth about Newt and his cancer-stricken wife

    IMO...a person's personal life is their business as long as it does not affect their service if they are a public servant, but the blatant hypocrisy negates any due respect for the privacy of a creep such as Gingrich.

    Except when it's election season and she visits my state of PA. Then she's "from Scranton, PA."

    Typical scumbags politicians.

    illonois arkansas whatever she is still some old white wasp trying to suck up to south carolina blacks for a vote. I wonder when she last had a plate plate of chitlins. If she can show her T shirt from the chitlin strut we have every year she might just have a tad of believability. The black community has went straight to hell every place the Democrats have governed why the heck the blacks keep voting them in office is betond me. Do ther vlacks want every city in the USA to resemble Chicago, Detroit and Baltimore ?
