Oskaloosa, Ia. – Newt Gingrich told a gay man and longtime resident of Oskaloosa here today that he should vote for President Obama. “I asked him if he’s elected, how does he plan to engage gay Americans. How are we to support him? And he told me to support Obama,” said Scott Arnold, an associate professor of writing at William Penn University.” Arnold, a Democrat, said he came to the event at Smokey Row coffee house with an open mind. But he wanted to ask Gingrich about how he would represent him as president after reading past comments the former U.S. House Speaker as made about gay and lesbians. “When you ask somebody a question and you expect them to support all Americans and have everyone’s general interest,” Arnold said. “It’s a little bit frustrating and disheartening when you’re told to support the other side. That he doesn’t’ need your support.” Gingrich has been married three times, two ending after his adultery. Gingrich, who has a half sister who is a lesbian, has previously said in Iowa that same-sex marriage “is a temporary aberration that will dissipate.” In his letter to The Family Leader this month, he advocated a federal constitutional amendment that would deny marriage rights to same-sex couples. “It doesn’t inspire hope at all,” Arnold said of Gingrich’s statements. “And if that’s what he’s trying to do and that’s what he’s trying to say, that this is a collective effort if he’s elected president, yet he tells me to support the other side?”
Poster Comment: Good one Newt. Thanks for not sucking up to the gays. We all know Obama likes sucking the gays.

Then you think Newt should burn his lesbian sister at the stake? Not to mention, you now consider newt a perfect example of the beauty and integrity of heterosexual marriage, thus the perfect spokesman to oppose marriage for everyone?
No. I would reserve that for witches. ;)
Nope. Aren't you divorced?
I am, but I never cheated on her, and I have lived with several women over the years, but never remarried. I'm also not running for president.
I can think of a few more that could share their fate.....
"CHANGE" you can step in..... So is that why Bubba got elected????
"CHANGE" you can step in..... OMG!!! Hysterically funny!
