Once a Cheater . . Always a Cheater

January 20, 2012 - Joselyn King
Based on his response to the opening question at this week's Republican presidential debate, I guess it's now the media's fault that Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich was a lying, cheating two-timing husband.

Moderator John King dared pose a question to Gingrich about Gingrich's ex-wife's comments that he had once asked her for an "open marriage."

Gingrich took umbrage,and blamed the media for making an issue of his infidelity.

NEWS FLASH -- Blaming the media is what a politician does when he or she has no answer for past bad behavior, other than to acknowledge it.

And yes, Gingrich has admitted to his infidelities.

More importantly, it is important for the public to know about his indiscretions.

I've said it before, and it bears repeating. The person who cheats on their spout will cheat on anyone -- or the country they've sworn under oath to lead.

Don't you think he or other cheaters before him maybe paid somebody to cover for him? Granted a favor to someone to keep them quiet? Given a job to their "miss-tress" or "mr.-tress?"

In the end, their indiscretions always cost taxpayers money, and is that really the behavior we want out of a president?

what a shame you don't apply your outrage at cheaters a little closer to home. Voters have the right to know about the honesty and morals of their local politicians too. Shame on everyone who has turned a blind eye to what has been going on in Belmont County

Gingrich and all those who defend him have the support of the Democrat Party. The Republicans have formed a circular firing squad. What fools..... and what a great break for America!

Newt's "love life?" is of no interest to me. He is an erratic and egotistical individual who is virtually unpredictable. Even his own former aides and allies characterize him as being mercurial and subject to unstable behavior patterns. There is no questioning his intelligence, but that is more than counterbalanced by his instability. Newt's finger on the button is not a comforting thought.

Joselyn, FDR,JFK-Bill Clinton came to mind when I read your comment about cheaters. You are right, we don't want cheaters in a President but as I listed above we have had them. Let's be honest Joselyn, the question is fare game but a biased news media researching this kind of thing so they can try to affect a Presidential election is just wrong and dishonest.

Newt is a newt (as in, toxic bottom feeder) and he will poison the waters wherever he lies. Let him win a few, then all will know...

We'll wait for the news media to get to the bottom (no pun intended) of Obama's relationship with Larry Sinclair, Reggie Love and other young men of his acquaintance. At least Newt has repented of his sin.

I once had a chubby, pompous-acting, graying old dog which got randy with every female's pant (or pantless) leg until he was newtered.

Perhaps I was too judgemental in assuming Gingo was naughty, as the Nat'l Inquirer has reported mounting evidence against TV's Lassie for same malfeasances according to Timmy.

John King’s question was no surprise. I expect when the Republican nominee debates Obama CNN’s moderator will start off the debate with a question about allegations regarding Obama’s relationship with Vera Baker. Perhaps ABC could convin$e her to provide an on-camera interview they could air two days prior the election. Or CNN’s moderator will ask Obama about details regarding his admitted past use of coke and pot. A pre-election interview of Obama’s former bongmates would boost ABC’s ratings, for sure. Or about his relationship with convicted extortionist Tony Rezko regarding Obama’s campaign fundraising and the financing of young Senator Obama’s $1.65 MILLION Hyde Park house. Perhaps run that item the first week of November...

I’m looking forward to Obama’s detailed explanations of those past foibles, and I’m sure CNN, being unbiased, will ask those relevant questions at their debate. Relevant because once a cheater, junkie, crook .. always a cheater, junkie, crook.
