Newt Gingrich: The Epitome Of Personal And Professional Corruption

2007-03-09
By

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is very popular among religious conservatives. He has repeatedly placed near the top of Republican presidential polls recently, even though he is not a declared candidate.

Religious conservatives demand virtual moral perfection from politicians; they clamored for President Clinton’s impeachment and removal from office because of his sexual improprieties.

You would expect Gingrich, who is the darling of evangelicals, to be a paragon of virtue. But  Gingrich is the epitome of corruption, both in his professional as well as in his personal life.

Too many evangelicals are hypocrites, they turn a blind eye to Newt’s moral failings because he champions issues that are important to them.

From the Associated Press:

“Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich acknowledged he was having an extramarital affair even as he led the charge against President Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky affair, he acknowledged in an interview with a conservative Christian group.”

Gingrich’s hypocrisy leaves me speechless, but fortunately it doesn’t stop me from writing.

From the Associated Press:

“His first marriage, to his former high school geometry teacher, Jackie Battley, ended in divorce in 1981. Although Gingrich has said he doesn’t remember it, Battley has said Gingrich discussed divorce terms with her while she was recuperating in the hospital from cancer surgery.”

Gingrich’s moral degeneracy leaves me speechless, but I will speak out against him via the written word.

OK, you might say, Gingrich personal life leaves something to be desired, but he was an honest politician.

Really? Americans forget anything that happened more than a few years ago, so allow me to remind you about Newt’s unsavory political career. His congressional career ended in disgrace, when he abruptly resigned from Congress after being reprimanded by the House ethics panel over charges that he used tax-exempt funding to advance his political agenda.

Gingrich made an issue of President Clinton’s personal failings, if Gingrich runs for president, his opponents should bring up his messy personal life.

    OOOH! Liberals don’t like the term “practice what they preach” because preaching is a RELIGIOUS Thing! How about saying instead “walk the talk”? Of course, very few people, liberals or conservatives, Democrats or Republicans, actually do walk the talk, it just isn’t human nature. That’s why there is so much hyprocrisy in the world, and don’t try to say that only churches are full of it! It’s everywhere, worse than any disease on the books. Only God can change the heart and the person, and very few people, even Christians, have actually let Him do that. Those few are the ones who walk the talk, or practice what they preach.

    Oh Squiggy your just too funny…Con.’s never have and never will practice what they preach just like the priesthood of the roman catholic church who forced their moral dogma on Europe even as they all the while intentionally violated every one of their own moral tenets…

    “His first marriage, to his former high school geometry teacher, Jackie Battley, ended in divorce in 1981. Although Gingrich has said he doesn’t remember it, Battley has said Gingrich discussed divorce terms with her while she was recuperating in the hospital from cancer surgery.”

    An ex-wife says her ex-husband did bad things. Wow. What an amazing surprise. Your grasp of the totally obvious is incredible.

    Robert, both of your faces are ridiculous. You should be ashamed of yourself, but you’re not, of course. Being liberal means you can say any hateful stupid thing you want, with no consequences. At least we conservatives practice what we preach. And those of us that don’t are dealt with. That doesn’t mean we can never forgive. Forgiveness is another concept foreign to liberals (you never condemn your own, so forgiveness is irrelevant).

    red pill….no doubt

    Ouderkirk, you left out Mena and Ron Brown

    “I did not once tell anyone to lie” for in fact he told everyone on multiple occastions to not tell the truth.

    Clinton…what will he be if his Wife is elects.

    Every husband should be insulted if he is called the First Husband, for a man should honor his vows and his wife in doing so.

    Will he be the first Man, Every Man should be insulted at the national insult that the First and thus best Man of America is a Philanderer. That sears the conventons of every Man who seeks to be of hs word, truthful, honet, brave (not evading service) and not evading his vows.

    He will have to be the First Philanderer, as we know he got sucked off in the Ovum Oriface and did Monica with a Cigar taht he promptly gave to the Pediphile Yasser Arafat.

    I am sure “the FAT” (Arafat) said the Cigar smelled unusual as he is used to feces of little boys.

    Where is my beer?

    People are entitled to their opinions, of any possible shape and size. I for one don’t have any shortage of hearing ign’ant ‘pinions from irresponsible spoiled pinheads, and RPR phrenic feces is become overwhelmingly offensive to me. There may be a need to find happiness for every human being, but I do not need to provide it. Likewise, perhaps it’s time to leave those who intentionally are here to be intellectually offensive to find greener fields and succor among their compatriots, until the time inevitabley comes where real world physical battle and individual responsibility and physical responsibility determines which of opposing philosophies predominate. Debate I can handle and even seek out but I’m already aware of what those that find my orientation anathama to them want of me, and to provide them support and welcome comes at my own peril.
    RPR is here soley to stick his emotionally immature rainbow multicultural prevaricating finger in my intellectual eye….

    Sadly Mr. Gingrich has the best potential to actually bring sanity to discourse, that assuming the other participants are adults. With liberals though, proclamations of facts that are to them inconvenient are met with bobs, ducks, and weaves and much hyperbole, and my favorite feminine tactic of stating a truth, but an irrlevant one, in order to derail linear debate. Newt is actually better at handling those deflections than nearly anyone else and even he can only rhetorically slap the children down for so long.

    RPR The problem is with your logic. If you think traditional religion and traditional morality should not be imposed on our society, and should not be a part of the public discourse, and this leaves you with relativism. You have lost your moral basis to say what Gingrich, or what anybody else said or did is wrong. You must report the facts, say everybody does it, and its okay.

  • Ouderkirk

    It was never about Clinton hiding the salami in an intern. The litany of crimes by the Clinton’s is extensive.

    Far and away worse than anything anyone has done before or since.

    Bribery for pardons, treason (selling military secrets to china for campaign cash), intimidation of witnesses ( Jones, Willey, Broderick et. al.), using the IRS as a political weapon, Vince Foster’s death and subsequent raiding of his office by Clinton staffers, Rose Law Firm Billing records, FBI Files, Craig Livingstone, Hillary’s selective memory, Bill’s parsing of the meaning of “IS”.

    Ol’ Newt may be imperfect, but never to the degree of the Clintons.

    I’m not one to use exaggerated rhetoric. That is usually a dead give-away that one is a woman, a feminist, a metrosexual, or a liberal. But now you got me going. The epitome of Personal and Professional Corruption prize goes to Impeached President Bill Clinton.

  • thurston861

    I have found RPR so far gone that I doubt that he could properly define corruption, as he is intellectually corrupt.

    Boooooooooooooooooooriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig!

    Never underestimate the ability of a Liberal to lie, distort and tell half-truths, while clearly demonstrating the character flaw known as “hypocrisy.”

    Leader Gingrich was meticulous in his pursuit of the Criminal President William J. Clinton for lying to a grand jury while under oath and not for his personal peccadillos, no matter how contemptible the behavior was that was taking place in the Oval Office rather than the private quarters where such behavior is more properly carried out.

    As for a memory problem, it is Liberals who have that disability, as in criticizing the current President for saying precisely the same things that his DEMOCRAT predecessor said and pursuing a course of action recommended by his DEMOCRAT predecessor.

    Mr. Gingrich stepped down from his office in a fruitless effort to instill some sort of feeling of guilt and responsibility and to set an example for the completely corrupt and disgraced DEMOCRAT President William J. Clinton. Fruitless because one cannot instill a sense of guilt in a consummate sociopath like William J. Clinton.

    What Mr. Gingrich did was to use “tax-exempt funds” to finance an educational program designed to inform our youth about how our government functions…truly a heinous act in the eyes of the Left. He was NOT reprimanded by the House Ethics Committee, in fact, ALL charges were dropped by the House Ethics Committee. Speaker Gingrich voluntarily paid $300,000 to reimburse the cost of the investigation.

    Speaker Gingrich VOLUNTARILY stepped down to avoid involving Congress, his party and his nation in a pointless series of politically charged and motivated hearings rather than pursuing its primary function…solving the nation’s problems. He stepped down to save his party from self-destruction following the losses the party experienced in 1998Gingrich Steps Down in Face of Rebellion

    “Really? Americans forget anything that happened more than a few years ago, so allow me to remind you about Newt’s unsavory political career.”

    Would that these Liberals who have such great memories demonstrate half of the ethical standards that former Speaker of the House New Gingrich exhibited.

    Like all Liberals, RPR’s memory is about as accurate as is his editorial.

    Men’s News Daily’s Robert Paul Reyes is very popular among sacrereligious liberals. He has repeatedly placed near the top of left-wingnut commentators recently, even though he is not on a liberal site.

    Sacrereligious liberals demand virtually total “personal life” exemptions for politicians; they clamored against President Clinton’s impeachment and removal from office because of his sexual improprieties.

    You would expect Reyes, a darling of left-wingnuts, to be a paragon of this all around. But Reyes is the epitome of contradiction, insisting on “this for me, but not for thee.”

    Too many liberals are hypocrites, they turn a blind eye to liberals moral failings because they champion issues that are important to them.

    Reyes’ hypocrisy leaves me speechless, but fortunately it doesn’t stop me from writing.

    Reyes’ philosophical degeneracy leaves me speechless, but I will speak out against him via the written word.

    Liberals made an issue of “the right to a personal life out of the public eye” during President Clinton’s impeachment, if they go after Gingrich if he runs for president, Republicans should not hesitate to throw it in their face at every opportunity.
