"Legitimate Rape" victims rarely get pregnant

PO, lighten up. Everyone that follows politics knows the quote quite well. For goodness sakes, it was directed at the sitting president of the US. Everyone thought it was funny. Stop making a mountain out of a molehill. If Dedicated Mind is offended they can speak for themselves.

No, I'm not going to lighten up. You purposely sized up and put the STUPID in red because, you were calling DM stupid. I didn't think it was funny, so don't say EVERYONE. I am offended and won't get over that this election cycle.

And you know what, I am remembering that even when DM and I have disagreed - He has NEVER been rude to me. Just a little tidbit of info here.

I guess talking family values is more important than living them.

Hope when you seek God's forgiveness, Baron, that you find it and I hope that people forgive you as well.


"What I can tell you is that when I did things that were wrong, I wasn't trapped in situation ethics. I was doing things that were wrong, and yet, I was doing them. I found that I felt compelled to seek God's forgiveness, not God's understanding, but God's forgiveness. I do believe in a forgiving God. And I think most people, deep down in their hearts, hope there's a forgiving God. Somebody once said that when we're young, we seek justice, but as we get older, we seek mercy. There's something to that, I think." - Newt Gingrich

It's not about forgiveness, Newt is a smart but unelectable guy. And that is a great speech, especially if you are courting the family values crowd and you tend to lack them.

This is his third marriage, and why did the other two end?

He had a lot of mercy for Bill Clinton, while doing the same thing...seems his speech was politically expedient but not something he really lives.

Just by this one statement, I can see you don't know Newt, and are not clear on the particulars. He never lied about what he was doing and simply, by rule of law, went after Clinton on Perjury charges. It wasn't about adultery, it was about perjury.

Why didn't Jackie Battley, his HS Geometry teacher not serve time for seducing a minor - he was sixteen?

OMG. I better not hear ONE PERSON COMPLAIN about the terror Obama will continue to unleash on America if he is reelected simply because you refuse to vote for the one guy who can replace him.

Right, wrong, indifferent or quoting, stop the name-calling. PO is absolutely correct--the quote was made personal because "STUPID" was put in huge font in bright red letters. Don't be disingenuous and try to backpedal and say it wasn't name-calling, it was a quote. Ridiculous.

If I check this thread in the morning and there are any other juvenile tempers being lost, I'll put on my Admin hat and start infracting--unless another moderator beats me to it. This post serves as the name-calling cut-off point.

Politics brings out the worst in everyone. I understand why so many forums ban its discussion.

If you can't discuss politics and still behave in a Christian manner then bow out of the conversation completely--because being Christlike takes precedence over expressing your political opinions and even over exercising your free speech. Everyone on this thread, as far as I know, worships the same Jesus. In the eternal scheme of things, our opinions about Obama, Romney or any other candidate don't even matter. Really. They don't matter at ALL.

My apologies to Dedicated Mind. I will cease to repeat the phrase with the insulting name calling. My apologies to Pressing On. My apologies to the entire AFF family.

Legally that is what they pursued, but Come on Newt had no mercy for Bill.

Ohh poor Newt, he was nineteen when he married her. Seems your ethics change depending on you candidate.
