RNC new top man: "He represents our values." Newt Gingrich


Robert Wham of South Carolina states that he is pro life, pro family
values, and looks to make up for the "war of northern aggression."

Wham who is currently working for Fox News as a producer and
researcher for John Kasich's show America's Heartland will assume
the leadership of the Republican National Committee in April.

16. Republicrites have values ...
they just have a way of negating each other because they pull out only the ones which will hurt a Dem the most ... instead of the truth and honesty ...

4. The South shall rise again. Hold on to your Confederate money!
War of Northern aggression? How about the war to end the Southern inhumane treatment of fellow human beings?

7. I have to admit, he definitely represents their values.
"Here's your divorce papers, darling. Sorry you're no use to me anymore, what with the chemo treatments and all you're dealing with. Hope you're better in time to come to my wedding with the bimbo I've been humping in my office lately."

8. Newt's values
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newt_Gingrich

In 1962, Gingrich married, Jackie Battley, with whom he had two daughters. Anne Manning had an affair with Gingrich in 1977. She stated in a 1995 Vanity Fair article, "We had oral sex. He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, 'I never slept with her.'"

He divorced Jackie Battley in 1980, serving her with divorce papers and forcing her to negotiate the terms of their divorce settlement while she was in the hospital after cancer surgery. He refused to pay alimony and child support. Gingrich married another mistress Marianne Ginther in late 1981. They divorced in 1999, said to be because of Marianne's dislike of Washington and Newt's time away from home. Marianne was quoted in a 1996 article in Vanity Fair, stating "I don't want him to be president and I don't think he should be." He divorced her while Newt later married Callista Bisek, a House aide and mistress 23 years his junior.

11. Yes, we have only to point out his marital history...
...and serial infidelities to illustrate his "family values". Furthermore, since "values" are a Republic watchword in any campaign, it's fair game.

His first wife had been his high school geometry teacher, too, and they got involved while he was still in school. And he later deserted her and their two kids, including not paying child support. But maybe he can claim victim status as an excuse for his behavior over the years.

See this article at Salon that lays it all out:

13. "I never slept with her." Sure. Any sex was by accident.

Mike Mathews: Look Joe, it just happened.
Joe Hallenbeck: Sure, sure, it just happened. Could happen to anybody. It was an accident, right? You tripped, fell on the floor and accidently stuck your dick into my wife. "Oops, I'm sorry, Mrs. H, I guess this just isn't my week".
