Not that any candidate is an angelic beacon of moral perfection, but I'm pretty sure this statement has been refuted by his daughter and by others. She didn't have cancer, she had benign tumors removed, and she was the one that initiated the divorce and served the papers after finding out he was having an affair. Not sure why people continuously copy/paste this without actually researching it, I guess that's part of the downgrade of actual reporting and mudslinging we've seen by fanatics from both fan bases.

I've always heard or read this topic along the lines of "Gingrich served divorce papers to his wife who was dying of cancer." This has been repeated over and over and still is. The connotation displayed here is that he's clearly evil, and looks to be if accurate. But since it's not accurate, and since it was routine surgery, and they had already been separated, and she served the papers, the picture is now one of thousands that happen every day: an unfortunate decayed marriage that ended in divorce, and one that completely changes the innate emotional response that the former gives.

Actually, with a board of people who range in views from Che Guavara to Karl Max

Just sayin'.

hay guyz let's jump into a thread we admittedly don't care about to condescend to those who do care while they discuss things they find pertinent in relation to significant moral character flaws in those running for the highest ranked position in the country.

Somehow that automatically disbars me from making any other sort of commentary? How can one's political leaning have ANY FUCKING THING TO DO with calling out the infidelity double standard that exists between D and R? Fuck that, sir. Your argument is wholly illegitimate.

There is no thoughtful discourse regarding anything GOP on this board. Generally, any time anyone posts something we have Arlos with the Media Matters talking points, Toss saying fuck the fascists, and the Canadians doing their generally liberal lockstep.

I respect your opinions, Brin but this board really has one admitted conservative and he's as authentic as Colbert. I still believe he's a Vonk creation, to boot.

I'd love to know why John Edward's cheating on his cancer stricken wife was covered up by the media for months and month's during the previous DNC primaries, and yet highly unsubstantiated claims against Herman Cain from decades ago are dusted off and rolled out with zero proof or means testing via every major network. Double Standard, indeed.

Its also a big deal cuz its fucking meth. I have done a lot of drugs over the years but meth isnt one of them cuz thats fuckin crazy. Dont blame that on the wrong crowd either. Over the past few years I have hung around some of the worst people you can think of and I still never touched the shit or was really around anyone who did. Meth isnt something that can just be found at every bar party and social gathering.
