Gingrich: Gay Marriage Is A ‘Temporary Aberration That Will Dissipate’

[trumad]

Dissipate and marriage---perfect words for the Gas Bag.

Newt Gingrich is offering a new insight on the hot-button issue of gay marriage: Saying that it will go away.

“I believe that marriage is between a man and woman,” Gingrich said, the Des Moines Register reports. “It has been for all of recorded history and I think this is a temporary aberration that will dissipate. I think that it is just fundamentally goes against everything we know.”

Of course, comments like this might draw attention to the fact that Gingrich is himself an expert on the institution of marriage and its history. He is now on his third marriage, and he originally began seeing his current wife Callista by having an affair during his second marriage — at the same time as he was pursuing the impeachment of President Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

This past March, Gingrich linked his past infidelity to how hard he was working — and his passion for America: “There’s no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate.”

3. You believe marriage is between a man and woman - until the woman gets cancer, that is.

Or you just get tired of the same ol face, and want to trade in for a younger model. :puke:

7. All these Christian Republicans

denouncing gays and lesbians are in effect saying God made a boo boo. I don't imagine any God would appreciate that. But they never seem to notice.

8. Newt has a gay half-sister.

He did not attend her 2009 wedding to her longtime partner. So much for the importance of family.

[yardwork]

9. Just like all Newt's marriages have dissipated over the years.

[dtexdem]

10. Then he shouldn't worry about it. Why oppose a 'temporary aberration'?

If he really believed what he said, he would perceive no long-term threat to his cherished vision of society.

11. Newt's opinions on marriage should be completely null and void.

After all - this is the same asshole who cheated on his wife who had CANCER, while trying to get the "defense of marriage act" passed - is he one of the most hypocritical pieces of shit on the planet or what? :eyes:

[Zorra]

12. "Gingrich linked his past infidelity to how hard he was working... "

How childish. It's like saying "the devil made me do it". What a jerk.

How could anyone ever vote for this pathetic, lost little boy?

Conservatives are universally, utterly, and irrevocably totally full of bullshit.

They never take responsibility for the harm they constantly cause to others.
:puke:

13. It will last a hell of a lot longer than you did as speaker.

Speaking of being Speaker even Bill Clinton out lasted you. Take that you sorry ass piece of shit.

Recommended.

14. So the constant new same-sex pairings in the animal world have dissipated?

Has he tried running that talking point past a zoologist?

[Raster]

15. Newt: I believe that marriage is between a man and woman I choose to abandon...

...while she in the hospital recovering from ovarian cancer.
