[QUOTE="Shadow4020"]

I don't care about someone's personal life as long as it doesn't affect their ability to lead.

I think dumping your wife in an ungracious manner is irrelevant when deciding who you should vote for.

Normally I would agree. But when a politician pushes a "family values" agenda as a huge part of his platform, yet has never lived up to these values in his own life it becomes an issue.

I follow the elections closely and Newt Gingrich has never made social conservatism the primary or secondary issue of his campaign. What people in SC have voted on is the ability for Newt to convey their argument so much better than Romney of the other viable candidate. This issue of Newt and affairs has been explored and known for quite some time now with Conservatives, and they don't hold it as much against Newt as in the past. They are looking for a strong debater against Obamawho can make the best case for a one term presidency. And I believe that Newt Gingrich would be the best one to do that. On the other side they are too consumed with that and ignoring the electability factor.

Because we know there is a direct correlation between a politician's personal life, and his ability to lead a country :roll:

KC_Hokie

No, but there's a correlation between a politician's personal life and what he does when he's leading.

No there isn't. Do you know how many very good presidents had affairs/girlfriends?

No, I don't. How many? I'm not talking about affairs though. How does having an affair affect your policies?

[QUOTE="Blue-Sky"]

The sad thing is, the main reason why they don't want to support Mitt Romney is because he's a Mormon.

I don't really think that's true for most of the voters. Most don't want to support Romney because he hasn't been as solidly conservative throughout his career like Gingrich etc have been.

He's a bit gaffy too, in that 'didn't make much money' (much money being 300k) or betting 10k on a game... it kinda hurts him to show he's out of touch, then to back off of it and look uncomfortable all the time... Really think he should just admit he's rich as hell and that he may seem out of touch sometimes, he gets it, but he's so used to being rich it slips.

Life's full of hypocrites. Get over it. Also, people can change, which is why I pose the question: Why jump on Gingrinch for his formerly adulterous ways?

::abusive guy beats up girl, few days later, girl leaves:: "baby, I can change, I swear baby, come back to me." ::girl comes back and gets beaten up again...::

I believe people when they say "I can change" and their past indicates otherwise.

Is cheating on women with other women considered liberal?

There's a lot more valid reasons to vote against Gingrich than whether he committed adulterey.

I have never seen a good argument for supporting Gingrich and I don't know how anyone can support this scumbag. Literally the most positive thing I've heard anyone say about Gingrich is that "he doesn't cheat anymore". Even though, if history repeats itself he'll almost surely cheat on his third once she's not "pretty" enough for this disgusting person both on the inside and outside.

And his whole campaign is just a flawed tax plan and christian morals, even though he has no morals, christian or not.

2012: Ron Paul > Obama > Mitt Romney > Everyone else > Santorum > Newt Gingrich.

... OK? I wish you would actually engage in meaningful discussion. Instead I am treated to incoherent and meaningless responses.

Meaningful discussion about names? Hm...

And if you found my posts incoherent then you need to stop drinking.

[QUOTE="RandoIph"]In fact Newt was cheating on his first wife, and lying about it, at the exact time he was trying to impeach Clinton for cheating on his wife, and lying about it. FAMILY VALUES.moneymatterz

Clinton was impeached because he lied under oath. Next.

So the fact that Newt lied about his affair without being under oath, makes it not hypocritical for him to impeach a sitting president who also lied about an affair, and happens to have done so under oath? Again, Newt Gingrich has no business whatsoever preaching family values, or talking about the sanctity of marriage. If he believed in the sanctity of marriage, he would not have cheated, twice. The group of voters he is preaching this message too, the religious, also have a higher rate of divorce than non-religious, so the hypocrisy is doubled.

What bothers me isn't that Newt won the primary. What peeves me is that I'm willing to bet that a majority of those who voted for him oppose same sex marriage because it hurts the"sanctity" of mariage.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]He isn't a gay atheist... so there isn't a problem.Dark_Knight6

Good rumor to spread if you want to end his candidacy though....:o

He is staunchly opposed to gay marriage, so you could probably just wait for him to get caught walking into a hotel with some rent boy.

Santorum is much more overtly anti-homosexual, so it's much more likely he'll be the one caught in that kind of situation. His overbearing raging homo-phobia just screams "closeted self hating gay".
