According to a BBC report,
Newt Gingrich wept at an Iowa campaign event as he discussed his mother.
Old Newt is quite the campaigner, showing his sincerity and openness, shedding tears during his speech.
I wonder which hand he had the onion in.

The blog is about a slime ball, not from one.
That is the blog's point. Understand?

I would never vote for a politician that cannot keep his pants on.  I agree with a lot of what Newt says but dang he was just as bad as Bill Clinton.

Yes, I'm sure this is the piece of information that will let me form my choice for President of the United States.
f*** all that taxes, regulation, illegal immigration, jobs, national debt, green energy debacles, Iranian nukes, North Korea, etc., etc., etc.,,,,,
By all means, let's not make a choice based on anything like that,,, it all comes down to if he cried when he talking about his mother, and his personal relationship choices from over 15 some odd years ago.
Back up and ask yourself,,, today vs 2008,, you better or worse? How about 2004? 2000? 1996? 1992? 1988? When?
Just how are you liking that HOPE AND CHANGE?

Here is your guy, from 2008, talking about his mother in the 1990's.
Oops,,, he LIED !!!!
Pulled the heart strings for political advantage..... and just plain lied about it. A bold faced, I know I'm telling a lie,,,, lie.
"Oh,,, my poor mamma,,, please elect me,,, and I'll give you free health care,,,, boo, hoo, hoo."
Now, what sap actually beleived that? Well,,, apprently,,, a whole bunch of people who wanted someone else to pay for their bills.
Newt just screwed one of us,,, and cried about his momma. Obama has screwed all of us,,, and,,, TOLD A LIE ON HIS DEAD MOMMA.

I have wept for my dead mother, in private. That is called mourning.
Newt wept as part pod a campaign speech in front of international reporters. That is called showmanship.

Nothing worse than an arm chair commentator. And to reflect on what bard said;

Ron Paul has never wavered from his values He can't keep his hand out of his own medical bag. That old fart is on something if he thinks Iran won't use a nuke and anyone who thinks like him is just as dumb as a bag of hammers as he is.

Well ! !
This blog started out to be about Newt.
But it looks like Tekhed wants to tell us about himself.
Yep ! That comment tells all I want to know about him.
I suggest the rest of you read his 2 comments above this, and judge the quality of person for yourselves.
Try not to laugh .

Me, then Jankia, then me again. That would make it the first and third comment above yours

I decided to watch the video before I would even comment on this subject. The moderator getting to the weak roots of this candidate with his personal questions, would trigger emotions of "anyone" who's lost someone dear to them, especially a Mother and dearly missed Mother no longer living. And in front of a room full of Mothers to boot...

Tom, sometimes I think we forget just how much pressure these politicians are under. Can you imagine, day after day, of being in front of people and cameras answering question? They have their words twisted, and constantly have to view negative adds showing every screw up they've ever made. A good portion of those adds contain information that's marginally true at best. It stands to reason, that a breakdown in emotional defenses is going to happen occasionally.
I'm not trying to stick up for politicians, but simply trying to put a little perspective on the situation.

On Sept. 30th, 2011 Obama signed the Combating Autism Reauthorization Act of 2011 into law. The U.S. goverment has been progressive in advancing a study on Autism; the Autism Speaks organization has been asked for their full support, expertise and biomedical research in the healthcare challenges of this Act.
Autism Speaks has initiation a Presidential Candidate Policy Pledge Request, from each candidate. Upon each candidate that pledges to this request, is to submit their proposal.
Newt has already submitted his...
Gingrich Unveils Brain Science Initiative
Iowa City, IA – Following a meeting with doctors and researchers at the University of Iowa College of Public Health, Newt Gingrich outlined a new Brain Science Initiative that would improve the lives of millions of Americans while saving money and creating jobs.
The Brain Science Initiative builds upon Gingrich’s commitment in the 21st Century Contract with America to reform government in ways that maximize the speed and impact of medical breakthroughs.
“Maximizing brain science breakthroughs can offer hope to millions of Americans impacted by Alzheimer’s, autism, Parkinson’s, traumatic brain injuries and more, while potentially saving trillions of dollars and creating thousands of new American jobs,” said Gingrich.
Gingrich pointed out that Alzheimer’s disease represents a $20 trillion combined public and private liability through 2050 and that postponing the onset of the disease by just 5 years could save $6 to $8 trillion.
“There is no single reform that could lower the cost of Medicare and Medicaid on the scale that breakthroughs in brain science could,” said Gingrich.
There are over five million Americans suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Furthermore, Alzheimer’s doesn’t just affect the patient. Caregivers in Alzheimer’s families are twice as likely to have health problems from the stress of taking care of loved ones over a long period of time.
The Brain Science Initiative has four components:
1. A public-private research initiative to map the brain and maximize our understanding of how it works and what effects it.
2. A fundamentally reformed, 21st century Food and Drug Administration which has the mission of understanding emerging new science and accelerating its development from the laboratory to the patient.
3. The elimination of the capital gains tax so hundreds of billions of dollars in new investments pour into the United States, creating a generation of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in founding and growing companies that deliver brain-related medical treatments worldwide.
4. Developing an integrated public-private partnership to use new technologies to minimize the stress of caregiving and maximize the potential for independent living for those with brain disorders.
This four part initiative will be developed in detail over the next few months in collaboration with brain scientists, doctors, dedicated institutions, and advocates.

I'm not crazy about this man .. I would not vote for him BUT I doubt the crying was for any reason other than he lost control for a few minutes .. I think it's happened to all of us at one time or another.

It's one thing to have a little issue with the zipper, but this guy is Completely cold.
Despite his denials on the circumstances surrounding his first divorce, the story carries a ring of truth. The man capable of that is more than capable of turning on the waterworks when it suits him, and the illusion of a soul would suit him nicely about now.
It would be nice if the Repubs could have found a viable candidate who neither oozes slime nor gibbers religious insanity. John Huntsman might have appealed to the middle-of-the-road voters very well. Too bad he'd never appeal enough to the lunatic fringe to take the primary.

Despite his denials on the circumstances surrounding his first divorce Maybe you should read it first hand told by the first wife. Oh that's right no matter what the truth Liberal spin junkies like yourself can't handle the truth because it doesn't play into you true actions of replacing freedom with socialism.
That guy you voted for in 2008 just made all of you the biggest dopes on the planet

^^^^ I would love to read that statement. I could only find statements from his daughter, who was thirteen at the time..Do you perchance have a link to the first Mrs Gingrich's statement?
This one is interesting, though
