As a Democrat and the libbiest lib who ever libbed, the GOP race right now is very funny. I've enjoyed it. I've especially liked watching this pack of retarded mutants find new and exciting ways to take themselves out of the running, without so much as a vote being cast yet.

Please. Do continue.

Cain's mistake was that he didn't divorce his wife, marry his mistress, divorce NEW wife, marry subsequent mistress, and claim he did it all out of love for country.

Well, if you are going to support and adulterer, you might as well support the best adulterer, and Newt Gingrich is the Babe Ruth of Adultery.

And here I thought the Democrat's "Clinton versus Obama" was going to be the pinnacle of inter-party fighting.

My prediction is that Romney will win the GOP nomination, thereby providing an opening for Sarah Palin (or some other teahadist) to jump in as a third-party spoiler candidate.

The latest allegation of sexual impropriety against Herman Cain has cost him the support of at least one state representative in New Hampshire.

Rep. William Panek called the Cain campaign Tuesday morning to say he was dropping his endorsement, telling CNN he will shift his support to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich instead.


YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.

Cain went off script and didn't wait till his wife was dying of cancer. He's a maverick.

Not that newspaper endorsements matter all that much, but they should have went with Michelle Bachmann for a scandal free true conservative.

"One or two allegations, it kind of piqued my interest, but you know, it's politics," Panek said. "But with a long-term, ongoing affair I'd kind of had enough."

I'm not saying Gingrich is a decent human being or in any way reformed(probably just too fat and old to chase any more tail) but religious conservatives just love REPENTANCE. Their "celebrities" are lousy with convicts, perverts and addicts of every stripe. It helps them feel better about cheating on their taxes or wife and staring at their daughter's ass.

Newt has acknowledged the adultery if not the details while Cain says he "never acted inappropriately with anyone."
That's a critical difference.

The Republicans are getting what they want: a three-ring circus of crazy bullshiat, multiple rationales to vote the party out of existence, and reasons why anybody who calls themselves a Republican should be force-fed into a running combine while their retarded family watches with glossy-eyed amusement.

The only way it could get better is if they took turns during their 'debates' to shiat themselves. With any luck, we'll catch the last moments of Rick Perry making up another stupid bullshiat saying ("taxes are the debbel" or some horseshiat) before his colon prolapses in front of the home audience, causing him to shiat himself violently to death in a torrent of blood, feces, and Koch money. If there is a God--and there is one, because he hates Republicans--Michele Bachmann will lick up the remains of this death spray while screaming about how her husband isn't gay and he likes it when the puffy coke mask she calls a face is licking up the remains of other men's colons.

Then, to punctuate the madness, Ron Paul admits he's gay and blows his own head off.

Did Newt repent? I thought he cheated because he loved the USA so darn much. Cain just needs to admit that his overpowering patriotism caused him to constantly sexually harass people and have affairs.

Just sayin, either extramarital affairs matter, or they don't. And if they do, it should apply to equally. For Petesake Gavin Newsome farked his best friend wife and still won Lt. Gov in CA.

Too many important issues to be discussing this crap. And the Newt "myth" of him serving his dying wife papers needs to stop.

He wasn't a lobbyist either, right?

"He can say that we had been talking about [a divorce] for 10 years, but the truth is that it came as a complete surprise," says Jackie Gingrich, in a telephone interview from Carrollton. "He's a great wordsmith ... He walked out in the spring of 1980 and I returned to Georgia. By September, I went into the hospital for my third surgery. The two girls came to see me, and said Daddy is downstairs and could he come up? When he got there, he wanted to discuss the terms of the divorce while I was recovering from the surgery ... To say I gave up a lot for the marriage is the understatement of the year." (new window)

From Gingrich Daughter:

So, to correct the record, here is what happened: My mother, Jackie Battley Gingrich, is very much alive, and often spends time with my family. I am lucky to have such a "Miracle Mom," as I titled her in a column this week.

As for my parents' divorce, I can remember when they told me.

It was the spring of 1980.

I was 13 years old, and we were about to leave Fairfax, Va., and drive to Carrollton, Ga., for the summer. My parents told my sister and me that they were getting a divorce as our family of four sat around the kitchen table of our ranch home.

Soon afterward, my mom, sister and I got into our light-blue Chevrolet Impala and drove back to Carrollton.

Later that summer, Mom went to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta for surgery to remove a tumor. While she was there, Dad took my sister and me to see her.

It is this visit that has turned into the infamous hospital visit about which many untruths have been told. I won't repeat them. You can look them up online if you are interested in untruths. But here's what happened:

My mother and father were already in the process of getting a divorce, which she requested.

Dad took my sister and me to the hospital to see our mother.

She had undergone surgery the day before to remove a tumor.

The tumor was benign.

As with many divorces, it was hard and painful for all involved, but life continued.

To say I gave up a lot for the marriage is the understatement of the year." (new window)


Or perhaps this Washington Post Article:

For almost as long as Newt Gingrich has been in public life, an unflattering story has shadowed him: that as a rising young Republican congressman from Georgia, Gingrich ended his first marriage by serving his wife with divorce papers while she lay in a hospital bed dying of cancer.
The story has been trumpeted by Gingrich's political opponents, endlessly recycled by the news media and repeated even by would-be allies, including social conservatives, who have long had doubts about the thrice-married former House speaker. As candidate Gingrich has risen to the top of some polls in the past few weeks, the story has inevitably surfaced again. Variations have turned up on MSNBC and in the National Journal, columns and blogs, and two British newspapers in just the past week.
Over the years, Gingrich himself has declined to comment on the story's details, usually relying on some variation of the comment he made to the New York Times this year: "There are things in my life I'm not proud of, and there are things in my life I'm very proud of." He has acknowledged having extramarital affairs in the past, however.
Although the thrust of the story about his first divorce is not in dispute - Gingrich's first wife, Jackie Battley, has said previously that the couple discussed their divorce while she was in the hospital in 1980 - other aspects of it appear to have been distorted through constant retelling.
Most significant, Battley wasn't dying at the time of the hospital visit; she is alive today. Nor was the divorce discussion in the hospital "a surprise" to Battley, as many accounts have contended. Battley, not Gingrich, had requested a divorce months earlier, according to Jackie Gingrich Cushman, the couple's second daughter. Further, Gingrich did not serve his wife with divorce papers on the day of his visit (unlike a subpoena, divorce papers aren't typically "served").
Gingrich's marriage to Battley had been troubled for many years before it dissolved 31 years ago, both parties have said. Battley, who is seven years older than Gingrich, had been Gingrich's high school math teacher in Columbus, Ga. They began dating after he graduated and were married in 1962, when Gingrich was 19 and a freshman at Emory University in Atlanta.
In time, the marriage grew contentious, and the couple spent several years in counseling. In spring 1980, Gingrich left her, Battley told The Washington Post in 1985. Around this time, the couple gathered their children, then ages 16 and 13, around the kitchen table at their home in Fairfax County and told them that they intended to divorce, Cushman wrote in a syndicated column in May (none of the family members nor Gingrich would comment for this article).
On his campaign Web site, Gingrich calls the hospital story "a vicious lie. ... It is completely false." However, this contradicts comments made repeatedly by Battley in two interviews after their divorce.
The hospital visit took place that summer, several months into their separation. Battley, who was undergoing treatment for uterine cancer, had had two prior surgeries, and Gingrich's visit occurred a day after a third operation at Emory University Hospital, in which doctors removed a benign tumor, according to Cushman.
As Battley recovered, Gingrich brought the couple's daughters to the hospital to visit her.
Accounts of what happened next vary in detail, but primary sources agree on a central point: Gingrich wanted to talk divorce with his hospitalized wife.
According to the first published account of the visit - a story by David Osborne in Mother Jones magazine in November 1984 - Gingrich went to Battley's room with a yellow legal pad on which he had written a list of items related to the handling of the divorce.
Osborne attributed this anecdote to Lee Howell, Gingrich's former press secretary, whom he quoted as saying: "He wanted her to sign [the list]. She was still recovering from surgery, still sort of out of it, and he comes in with a yellow sheet of paper, handwritten, and wants her to sign it."
In an interview this week, Osborne said Battley confirmed the story when he interviewed her for his article. He also said Gingrich never explicitly disputed Howell's account.
In a follow-up story in The Post in early 1985, two months after the Mother Jones story was published, some elements of the story were different. Neither Battley nor Gingrich mentioned a yellow legal pad or a list to be signed in The Post article.
"The two girls came to see me, and said Daddy is downstairs and could he come up," Battley told Post reporter Lois Romano at the time. "When he got there, he wanted to discuss the terms of the divorce while I was recovering from surgery."
Osborne said Battley never mentioned that their daughters were in the room when Gingrich began the divorce discussion. "It's possible that it could have happened on a different day" when the daughters weren't present, he said.
In any case, Osborne said he's seen nothing to suggest that what he described 27 years ago is essentially in error.
As Gingrich prepared to run for president this spring, his daughter Jackie Gingrich Cushman offered her take for the first time. In her column, titled "Setting the Record Straight," she criticized media coverage of the episode, saying it contained "untruths" and "misstatement of facts."
But Cushman never spelled out what was untrue. Nor did she mention what transpired in the hospital room when she visited her mother as a 13-year-old.
"For the four people involved, [the hospital visit] was one of a million interactions and was not considered a defining event by any of us. ... As with many divorces, it was hard and painful for all involved, but life continued," she wrote.

badaboom: From Gingrich Daughter:

I don't see much contradiction there but I can tell you many thirteen-year-olds are not privy to the darker details of their parents' marriage and divorce.

The great thing about the cancer/papers story isn't whether he did it or not, but that arguing about it just reminds everyone that Newt is an undisputed serial adulterer. We get you to repeat that often enough and your wife or daughter or mother might not vote for Obama but they also might not bother to vote for Newt.

I hope he's in the race for a long time.

My point about Newsome was that despite the fact that he farked his best friends wife and committed adultery, he was still elected by a landslide.

This election is not going to be about personalities or foibles. It is going to be whether or not people want another 4 years of Obama. Same as "anyone but Bush" 4 years ago.
