TotallyOz Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Former House speaker and possible presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich said he is going to work on slowing down the progress of gay rights, if he is elected president. "I think my emphasis would be pro-classical Christianity," Gingrich said in a video interview with Bryan Fischer of the antigay American Family Association after addressing the Rediscover God in America conference, held over the weekend in Iowa. He cited the end of adoption services in Massachusetts and Washington, D.C., by Catholic-based organizations because their policies limiting the rights of gay and lesbian adoptive parents violated laws put in place after the legalization of marriage equality in both areas. Gingrich brought up President Barack Obama's decision to stop defending the section of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which prevents the federal government from recognizing foreign or state-sanctioned marriages and or other unions of same-sex couples. "If there is a rule of law, it means that if the Congress passes a bill and the president signs it, the president has the obligation to support and sustain the laws of the United States," Gingrich added. http://www.advocate.com/News/Daily_News/2011/03/28/Gingrich_Id_Stop_Gay_Rights_Progress/ Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted March 29, 2011 Members Posted March 29, 2011 Newt is running hard as a born-again Christian of the Catholic stripe in his attempt to court evangelicals for his Iowa presidential run. This all materialized a couple of years ago when he was developing strategy for the run. Truly a desperate course. He'd been better off choosing Baptist for obvious reasons if Iowa was the main target. Guess chose based on total numbers rather than fine targeting Iowa and SC. Why would the Catholics even accept him after serial adultury and divorce. But then one can always shop for a forgiving ear, I guess. Newt is so transparent and a public hyprocracy spectable. He doesnn't stand a snowball's chance in hell. Quote

BiBottomBoy Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I think Newt is the last GOP congressmen left who likes pussy. The rest of them are gloryhole hounds. Quote
Guest BeachBoy Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I think Newt is the last GOP congressmen left who likes pussy. The rest of them are gloryhole hounds. Maybe a little too much. If he wants "pro-classical Christianity," he better stay married for more than 45 minutes. Quote
