Your's isn't a poll. It's just you starting a thread on a topic already with at least half a dozen.
(Are you a Ron Paul supporter by any chance?)
My questions to you is should someone that is on his 3rd marriage and has committed adultery be allowed to lecture the general public on how marriage is a " Sacred tradition"
Of course he should be allowed to. That's that whole freedom of speech thing at work.
He's an enormous hypocrite for doing so of course, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be allowed to do it.

Don't even get me started on this. It says a lot about social conservatives that they would nominate an adulterer to be the leader of the free world while condemning gays. I guess that serial monogamy is the new traditional definition of marriage. That sure would make Jesus proud, particularly since the very verse they use to argue that Jesus defined marriage as an institution only for men and women was Jesus condemning divorce. And now apparently he sought an "open marriage" at some point. Good grief. They idiocy and hypocrisy is revolting.
In real terms I do think that serial monogamy is the new social norm. The low percentage of people that have good lifelong marriages, as opposed to enduring lifelong marriage, is possibly so low that it might even be a good norm. Regardless, I think it is the new social norm - and that is excluding the HUGE number of serial monogamy co-habitations never obtaining marriage licenses.ve
Since YOU linked "social conservative" to "Jesus condemning marriage," to be legit you need to attach your link to Gingrich ever quoting Jesus on marriage in relation to gays, since that is your assertion of his hypocrisy.
So let met get this straight...since I was angry at social conservatives trying to nominate an adulterer I now have to link Gingrich quoting Jesus?
Your logic sucks.
Newt is against Gay marriage and has been very vocal about this throughout his campagin, he was also a big suppoerter of prop 8. My questions to you is should someone that is on his 3rd marriage and has committed adultery be allowed to lecture the general public on how marriage is a " Sacred tradition" and prevent other Americans from being married. When it comes to this paticular issue is the man being very hypocritical and should maybe keep his mouth shut and stop judging people on their life choices? ( we all know how he hates the media judging his) or is he right to still defend marriage from the gay community and keep it "sacred"
Well that is your logic, not mine. And it is your own definition of being a social conservative. So prove it's an accurate one. I seem to remember that divorce rates are higher among conservatives than liberals and Bible Belt states tend to have the highest divorce rates. (but lower stats on unmarried cohabitation).
He's not like Ron Paul, if that's your point.
I think you have distorted my logic in your own head. The only thing I accused Newt of is being an adulterer. I didn't even claim he was a social conservative.
He WAS an adulterer. Let's at least get the verb right.
Since I suspect about everyone stole something in their life, thus everyone is a thief and, accordingly, never ever should hold public office because obviously thieves should not hold public office. And theft is far more relevant to government position than adultery is.
Obama used cocaine, a felony. Clearly he should NEVER have been allowed to be president - which is relevant as the president does have authorities concerning drug laws - and definitely a cocaine user shouldn't hold a position concerning drug laws. For your wording, you would agree to the wording of "President Obama IS a cocaine user," right?
And certainly NO Democrat would vote for a cocaine user except those who argue cocaine should be legalized.
the question doesn't ask should he be allowed to, it asks should he stay off the topic of marriage.

when I say allowed I really mean should he be able to continue bashing gay marriage and not be called out by either the media or his political foes! Would be interested to see if Obama would bring the point up in a debate vs Newt.

He has? Perhaps you could show ad's ran by him or transcripts from debates where he was very vocal about this throughout his campaign? Frankly I've heard him comment relatively sparsely unless directly questioned about it on the subject.
this was the prop 8 video a few years ago Stop Imperial Judges...Support Proposition 8 - YouTube
Gingrich vows support for gay marriage ban
this was from December...There are plenty of other if you want me to post them or you could just google them yourself as they are not hard to find
